Starlink is 2/3rds of all satellites. They add 5-6 per day, lose one per day.

It has been sold as just an init system to people who argued it’s a Katamari Damacy. We now know who was right.

Remember when they said “relax, it’s just an init system, no biggie”? Pepperidge farm remembers.

That sure didn’t stop Russia from blanket banning VPNs.

Abstract

The escalating energy consumption of existing artificial intelligence hardware has become a serious global issue that demands immediate action. Neuromorphic computing offers promises to drastically reduce this footprint. Here, we introduce multicomponent p-type Hf(Sr,Ti)O2 thin films for energy-efficient, resistive switching–based neuromorphic devices. We demonstrate interfacial memristors with ultralow switching currents (≤~10−8 A), exceptional cycle-to-cycle and device-to-device uniformities, and retention >105 s. They reveal hundreds of ultralow conductance levels with a modulation range of >50 (without reaching any saturation) and reproducibly satisfy unsupervised learning rules. This performance originates from incorporating a self-assembled p-n heterointerface between p-type Hf(Sr,Ti)O2 and n-type TiOxNy, resulting in a fully depleted space-charge layer asymmetrically extended into Hf(Sr,Ti)O2, a large built-in potential, and extremely low saturation current density under reverse bias. Ultralow conductance modulation is controlled by tuning p-n heterointerface’s energy-barrier height through electro-ionic charge migration. This materials-engineering strategy addresses energy consumption and variability in existing memristors, opening a pathway toward energy-efficient neuromorphic computing systems.

I use the browser with a hardware TAN generator, though my bank’s app works fine on GOS.

It just works. Some banking apps won’t.

Name me an (IT) consulting company which isn’t pushing AI.

Ukraine and Russia are western countries. Narco cartels have started using fpv drones, too.

There are plenty of very safe HEs.

Plastic explosive triggered by electrodetonator is quite safe.

I have no beef with Apple but with its users, who want from Apple something which it is not selling.

Unix was the reason I started using Linux.

The point the blog author was making: “I’m bothered, as I have been since the original iPad introduction 16 years ago, by the unnecessary restrictions placed by corporate powers to run third-party software and operating systems on devices we own.” Open source/libre operating systems do not restrict the freedom of the user.

People willingly buy blatantly proprietary systems, then publicly muse why they don’t have freedom to do with them what they want.

Yes, so people should stick to the legal options. It isn’t hard.

You have no idea about the NATO-Russia war nor how modern attrition wars work. Can’t blame you, MSM are a hall of distorted mirrors.

They don’t even have state in the weights blob. It’s all tokens in an input vector.

But if your house burns down because of your unlicensed configuration, the insurance won’t pay, and if people got hurt there will be a criminal investigation.

Oh yeah, agentic AI going all agile with lobster claws.
