  • "Continue with Google", thanks I'm good B-)

  • Stable Difussion still has some steep learning curve and requires some money investment onto hardware or cloud GPU access. Meaning they have probably several hours to re-think how stupid is what they're doing.

    A simple app you can download into your phone and do this shit is a pretty easy and quick way of ruining two lives (probably).

    Then again, the hammer should fall onto the developers and the app store that allowed it on the first place. (IMO)

  • Now I want to see said monkey...

  • Oh no, not at all scary. They just broke out because they thought the Catholic church wasn't zealous enough.

  • He looks like he's supper high but also met some friend from his parents' and he's trying to play cool.

  • And he was fantastic in The Fall of the House of Usher.

  • One of the main priorities of the google maps cars is to also map wireless networks, so when your phone locates a wireless network, Google also knows your location (and the location of those connected to said network).

    Note: This is also done passively by Android phones.

  • I can imagine some exec being like "oof, finally I can be evil, after all these years!"

  • If you have some drugs in your home, police will do a no-knock raid.

    If you steal billions, they let you know months in advance and also adapt to your schedule.

  • Settle down everyone, I think the point here is tourism massification and how it transform alive cities into theme parks.

  • Sorry, I don't know if it is documented anywhere, but in summary the project started with bcache (block cache) from a single developer (Kent Overstreet A.K.A Evil Pie Pirate) in 2010 that explained he was building a module for the Linux Kernel.

    Bcache is a method of using a fast ssd drive as a caching mechanism for slow but large hdds. As is, the project was quite ambitious but then, when the developer was working in an evolution of bcache (kind-of lessons learned re-implementation), the project grew into a general-purpose POSIX filesystem.

    Considering the origins of the most popular file system implementations, expecting a single individual being successful creating a general-purpose one sounded over ambitious.

    Then in 2013, out of the blue, Kent left Google to solely work in this project. (In reality though, he spent two years later in Datera as well.)

    Then, how do you finance a single developer for a file system from 2013 onwards up to today, when it finally merged into the kernel?

    Patreon. The whole thing was financed through it.

    That said, there are other collaborators like Daniel Hill, Dave Chinner or Brian Foster, yet what's surprising is how this started as a side project and eventually became the main competitor of corporate-developed file systems by Patreon funding.

    Note: A bit of hype-control here, btrfs which would be the main "competitor" was merged into kernel 14 years ago, so bcachefs still has a long way to go before we can trust it with our data.

  • The story behind bcachefs development is mildly wild.

  • Did you find the root cause of the corruption?
