ai can't generate anything that is not averaged dogshit made by grinding every political cartoon to pixels and compressing it to paste. it categorically can't generate caricatures, for example. it also shows a degree of creativity and familiarity with literature unlikely in average propmptfan. and also text is legible

ai could never make this

it's not solved, it's just companies saying that they think it will be solved in the future

none of that shit works and won't work for a good minute, cryonics is rapture for nerds that take scifi way too seriously

what we already know tho is that because there's one payment to store meat popsicle effectively forever and this shit is ran by true believer techbros, it tends to run out of money pretty regularly. that means they run out of liquid nitrogen and meat popsicles thaw, and this already happened more than once

France also has warning shots, js

from Brazilian mass discord message leak

(never used discord)

rocket lab is 4x too big (that's quarterly revenue, not annual)

now that i'm thinking: would be 4000 VMs enough for spacex? maybe it is some smaller organization. i also take it is state-owned or similar, which narrows it down to a handful of countries that launch satellites

and probably not government agency, because these would have people competent enough to do a git pull

wait, i missed that, but then idk why it got called "semi-governmental"

consider the following: they already don't get money from them and also showing to wide audience that musk (and his people at spacex) idk who now is a inept penny-pinching scumbag can be a nice hobby

Maybe their idea is that publicly embarrassing oligarch boss of that company would be more effective in getting them to either use source code or buying a license

for more context, the boring liberal mayor got just north of 30%; the fuckass nobody pulled from depths of conservative party apparatus couple of months ago got just south of 30%; there's 21% split between two far right fuckers, one conspiracy friendly, catholic extremist (6%) and one that pretends to not be (15%); 10% split between three socdems; 5% for former "got talent" host targeting the mythical swing voter; and 2% split between some random weirdos, 1.2% of which goes to a streamer

damn i see that chatbots don't want to stay behind rfk jr in body count

will they learn that safety regulations are written in blood? who am i kidding, that's not their blood

firefox at minimum clears the very low bar of not exposing casual user to crypto

no

slightly more seriously: lots of lemmy users came from reddit, but mostly from older demographic (because of old reddit phaseout) and more FOSS-oriented, privacy-aware, tech-literate part (because of API shitshow/alternative apps blockage). there's some barrier to entry (choice of instance) that would filter off the least technical users. there are some prominent programming oriented fedi servers (programming.dev, infosec.exchange). lemmy in general seems to be more lefty than reddit, less americacentric, and i guess that over half are linux users. i suspect that because of combination of technical skill and older age (compared to reddit) lots of lemmitors have well paying technical jobs (again compared to reddit) which allows/requires them to live in nicer parts of their countries (not specifically cali)

at least this operation won't leave behind any e-waste, since it all will burn down when orbit maintaining engines inevitably fail

"People are planning 10 gigawatt data centers," Schmidt said. "Gives you a sense of how big this crisis is. Many people think that the energy demand for our industry will go from 3 percent to 99 percent of total generation

I reasoned that the former Google executive might have bought Relativity Space as a means to support the development of data centers in space.

absolutely not peak of bubble type bullshit, please give microsoft-sized theranos more money, nothing weird or stupid is happening there

last time i've seen someone wanting to put compute in orbit it was cryptobros trying to avoid everyone's jurisdiction, presumably to do some financial crimes there. turns out you can get away with this on earth, so it's unnecessary

These are mostly combustion byproducts btw. Mercury emissions come from coal fired powerplants, PCBs are an old and long discontinued type of nonflammable coolant, HCB also isn't even manufactured probably
