I know the big models will never really be able to achieve that in their current form, but am I reading too much crappy sci-fi to be paranoid that we should probably define what those are before it happens. Robot rights and such, because this is the mistake everyone makes.

Wern’t there a few AI maze projects in the works? I wonder if running one of those for a bit will cause you to be added to an ignore list, clearly they dont respect your robots file.

My mental image the solution of your last paragraph is a guy and their counsoler just chatting outside chopping firewood or other simple/quiet lawn work.

The GrapheneOS team makes their hardware security requirments very clear.

Its up to the hardware manufactures to include a few additional components used for securely storing keys, so far Google Pixles are the only consistent line of products that do so.

I dont blame you for that being the change that made you win EvE, I also think fondly of that era, but also recognize that MMO players in 2025 would have hated the old game. The timegating of skills made it so characters had value, now they dont, people do and the shifting dynamics in 0.0 have come to reflect that (See the N+1 problem and the attempts to claw back an out of control ISK faucets).

I do think the game is in a healthier place, but thats only been over the last year or so.

We have similar products where I work as well, they are just expensive thermal imaging cameras. They would not be able to identify the chemical contents of a gas cloud at a distance, just that there was a cloud. The point is that in the age of digital media, its very hard to prove anything is what you say it is. Between photoshop and AI making a mess of the digital media landscape, it makes things increasingly difficult to validate, and shouting “do your own reaserch” will only add to the ambiguity as the internet is not static and can be changed by anyone at any time.

You misconstru uninformed for skeptical, an eco-themed news site will have a bias against anything related to data centers, supreme leader musk, or burning hydrocarbons. So apologies if I took the article with a grain of salt.

Compared to the data center sprawl in other areas, yes. As others have pointed out, this appears to be a gross over-utilizarion of the local utilities and is just burning shit to make the building work where noone is paying attention to it.

This article and what they are doing feels fishy, for a few reasons.

• Data centers usually have steam plumes, but only with older cooling systems, newer designs dont vent off nearly as much water vapor and even newer designs have liquid-to-chip, and im not sure how those vent the heat, but its definitly not venting their treated coolant+water. (Because that would be dumb and expensive, but that seems to be the flavor of the day, so lets roll with that)

• If the building was not designed by a monkey, then this is likely just a generator test. I want to put the emphasis on “TEST” because a data center only runs its very inefficent generators when utility power fails. (They will generate exaust, but usually its diesle generators or something with cheap fuel). Fancy gas turbines sounds very “extra” because the reason that deisle generators are used is that they can turn on and hold the load of the building quickly (and the building should have a battery bank to hold that for exactly what ever that time is)

To me, one of two things is wrong, either the camera is just imaging thermals and thats a normal steam plume and they are being sensationalist. OR (and more likely answer). Musk is building some bespoke data center in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere without the local infrastructure to support it and is doing all sorts of expensive additions to make it do what it would be able to if it was clustered with other data centers that share utilitites.

My boss makes a dollar

I make a dime

That is why I poop on company time.

UK version:

My supervisor makes a pound.

I make a pence

That is why I shit at the companies expense.

It helps is it was a hyperfixation at one point. In my case, timelieness was a problem, around the same time I was learning programming (Ruby/Rails) and needed so odd time functions to handle multi-timezone inputs. I ended up with a minor fixation on UTC, multiple clocks set to it and a scary ability to do timezone offsets in my head. Bonus, im not late for shit anymore.

Looks like explosion resist, chest HP, and bleed prevention. Neat.

Any indication on what the armor perk is?

Also emp on stratagem call-in seems fun, but is a much lower priority than the usual (enhanced stims, pod optimization, anti-chip damage, and stamina recovery)

YOUR NOT MY SUPERVISOR!

I get that people dont want big corpo mega projects in their back yards, but I live in one of these areas and have a counterpoint to one of their reasons regarding the local power grid.

• The pressure on the grid is a thing planned out by the local municipality and the power authority, you dont get to just build a data center, then ask for electricity. This article glosses over the volume of effort that goes into accomodating these buildings and not trip breakers on the grid. (This does not address the enviromental impact of that extra power generation, that is a valid complaint)

• The extra power infrastructure improves service for normal residents in areas around these data centers because of the redundancy. The reason these areas are chosen is because of their easy access to multiple electricity providers. (And a low risk index according to FEMA, and proximity to each other, data centers like to cluster up to share the infrastructure)

The high use of the water table is a valid complaint, but the buildings being an eye-sore is, I feel, toeing the line to NIMBYism (people complain about windmills all the time because they look “bad”, data centers will usually try to look like a warehouse as part of their physical security). The capalists will allocate resources as they see fit, and thats just the reality these areas live in…

The article sorta touches on it, smartphones really took off after the touch screen had time to be made cheaply (it may have been the catalyst for it, chicken and egg sorta thing) with Moore’s law is just chugging away in the background. I think the tech revolution these companies want to be the forefront of isnt a device or program, its going to be a user interface.

Think of how the command density changed from dial pads to the first iPhone. Imagine what happens when we find a genuine inprovment for keyboards or the touch screen.

Probably for the best, that game is radioactive right now. They have a chance to fix it in the eyes of some people, but for me, bungo is a dead company walking.

My nerd herd likes the game, although we quickly have been adding mods to ramp up the difficulty and add some quality of life stuff. For a social game, I like it over Lethal Company because everyone gets to participate and there is no designated AFK role that watches the cameras or activates the teleporters.
