BYD are a battery manufacturer that happened to break into the Car Market. One of the few EV manufacturers of trust with interesting battery news.

That's fine, most of the content was written by corporate robots before anyway.

Pages that don't work well with darkreader aren't many, but when they do fail they fail somewhat entertainingly:

I think a lot of It was written with the implied "and if they don't somebody will just shoot them"

I run btrfs on every hard drive that my Linux boxes use and there's the occasional hiccup but I've never run into anything "unrecoverable."

I will say that compared to extfs, where the files will just eat shit if there's a write corruption, because btrfs tries to baby the data I think there appear to be more "filesystem" issues.

Typically when there are "can't mount" issues with btrfs it's cause the write log got corrupted, and memory errors are usually the cause.

BTRFS needs a clean write log to guarantee the state of the blocks to put the filesystem overlay on top of, so if it's corrupted btrfs usually chooses to not mount until you do some manual remediations.

If the data verification stuff seems more of a pain in the ass than it's worth you can turn most of those features off with mount options.

I've had btrfs go into an error state because of a bad write before, but it was pretty easy to recover from

Seeing as how the full unquantized FP16 for Llama 3.1 405B requires around a terabyte of VRAM (16 bits per parameter + context), I'd say way more than several.

Criminal Court? 👎 Civil Court? 👍

Quite literally what civil court was made for

Yea a surprisingly small number of people don't know a git remote can literally be any folder outside of your tree, over almost any kind of connection.

I thought about doing a forge but realized that if I was the only one working on this stuff then I could do the same thing by setting my remote to a folder on my NAS.

This seems cool but also a gateway for RSI

A bit of a counterpoint: https://whtwnd.com/alexia.bsky.cyrneko.eu/3l727v7zlis2i

The way some moderation lists (ban/labeling) work is algorithmic.

You can actually host one of these services yourself!

Most users are still on Twitter.

The people that have moved to Misskey are mostly erotic artists cause Misskey has less "international interference" (read:lolicon rules)

I assume at some point most mastodon instances will block Misskey for the same reason they blocked the pixiv mastodon instance(pawoo).

For comparison SLS spent about 2 billion in taxpayer money per year in development costs, and in the 4 years since the development contract was awarded to spaceX, they've spent around 5 billion in taxpayer money in development costs. (~1.25 billion per year)

For launch comparisons, the SLS can take a payload directly to the moon for 2.2 billion, while the proposed starship launch requires 10-12 refueling launches at ~1-2 million per launch (proposed, but falcon 9 heavy costs like 90 million per launch, so that puts it closer to 900 million-1.1 billion per combined launch)

I don't think it's that much of a stretch in reality to question these costs.

I assume China will put somebody on the moon before Musk's meme rocket gets there.

They've also blown their entire development budget and have received another billion dollars in development funds.

The sheer number of people looking at starship's delays and cost overruns and not seeing the exact same issues SLS had with Boeing are kind of staggering.

It's strange that Niantic is doing this when google has been doing the same thing with its own street map data.

Seems weird to make a competing product when (I thought) they are on good terms.

It's interesting axios specifically calls out the Homicide vs Violent crime statistic reliability:

The big picture: Homicides are more straightforward to compare year-to-year from pre-2021 to the present because the criteria for classifying them have remained the same while police have changed their methods of recording other violent crimes. Beginning in 2021, the FBI and police departments started shifting to the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) from the decades-old Summary Reporting System (SRS). That allowed law enforcement agencies to submit more details on crimes like aggravated assaults but resulted in reported surges in violent crime in cities like Chicago and Minneapolis.

I read a (weirdly antagonistically conspiracy-themed) article about the FBI recently having to revise their statistics in 2022: https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2024/10/16/stealth_edit_fbi_quietly_revises_violent_crime_stats_1065396.html

It makes me wonder if we need to go back and revisit the last few years of crime statistics since they switched reporting structure to get a better idea of what's going on...

The fact they pulled ROCM support for older cards boggles the mind.
