Futurism_com is a lousy source. I think there is every reason to be critical of vibe coding but I hate it that this site is a source for so much stuff on Lemmy.

Indeed, which is why they are just choosing to launch merely a single rack and that blows up to a massive undertaking while delivering next to nothing in compute.

I can’t relate. They had a paragraph or two on almost anything. Sure that was not much but it was enough as a starting point for figuring out if you wanted to know more.

You didn’t need to be in libraries all day. Depends how much research you wanted to do or how in depth your question were. For many first glances in some topic it was enough to look at your local book store and maybe get an introductory book on the topic (or borrow that book from a library).

Sure, things were slower back then, on the other side, people had more time to actually read the stuff and also the stamina to do so and not stayed totally on the surface as 2 min later they were already onto something else. Upsides and downsides.

The internet has been a great enabler for people with the stamina and interest to actually really educate themselves but many are just floating on slop and information trash nowadays, learning nothing.

I think we will see those small things, basically a single server rack with huge solar panels and cooling radiators. Some companies are really motivated to burn someone’s money for that and it is somewhat realistic to pull off, even with the big challenge of cooling. At the same time it also makes zero economic sense and has next to no computing power to even a small datacentre back on earth.

I know this is a long gone time but it was quite different from that. At home you had an encyclopedia, a compact mini Wikipedia. For more in depth browsing you went to a library. If you wanted to learn more, you borrowed some books. Things were slower, people actually had the time and will power to actually study these books. If you wanted to know even more you could get more boons or take some courses.

I am not a developer and I don’t trust frontier AI models, but for IT trouble shooting, they are increasingly capable to figure out functioning solutions. Lutris for example currently refuses to launch on Tumbleweed. Even the not so heavy Gemma 4 31B model identified that it is due to relying on some deprecated display resolution feature of Gnome. Its suggested pachwork, basically ignoring that feature, restored Lutris functionality. I tested Cyberpunk and resolution was correct, too.

The Lutris bug is known I think, but until they are relaesing a new version that makeshift solution might do the trick.

Oops, sorry ;)

Pi Zeros sell nowadays for 13 EUR. I don’t know when you got yours but it might be just regular inflation since then.

That is just one of the possible uses and not the most important one. Pi’s have two things that regular PCs don’t have. They have a direct integration of an GPIO port where you can easily connect individual wires as needed and they have a huge community and a lot of tutorials and also software support for all kinds of tinker jobs that can make use of that GPIO port.

These two reasons have not gone away and for many of those, you don’t need the most expensive PI with 16GB of RAM. A Pi Zero for 14 EUR or a Pi Zero 2 for 22 EUR are perfectly fine for that. The platform has plenty of life left but those high end Pi are increasingly crazily priced, mainly because of insane RAM prices.

I guess I am lame. I was there in July, when every true Fin is not to be found in Helsinki because there in their summer homes next to a lake.

That’s not how Android and AOSP work though and that is the foundation for both, firmware and GrapheneOS. You already have a disadvantage from moving away from the source, which is Google, so that even increases the effort react very rapidly to make up for that. All of that is not cheap.

I would assume you don’t need to go crazy expensive like with that phone now but to see that happening in the budget segment, where they probably invest next to nothing in software and security, just to get by, is naive.

And how do you finance the high and long lasting firmware maintenance required by Graphene OS, to stay secure? Is there any anouncement even suggesting that in a reasonable timeline or are you merely engaging in wishful thinking. I’d be surprised if they ever went below midrange with a GrapheneOS device.

Have you even read the Wiki article or do you not know what the SA was, of which he was a member of? He was rewarded with the Blutorden as well. An esteemed order for services to the NSDAP, starting with the Nazi putschists of 1923.

The list is from Wikipedia’s entry on that very subject: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_ehemaliger_NSDAP-Mitglieder,_die_nach_Mai_1945_politisch_t%C3%A4tig_waren

I think rather of journalists, dissidents who can afford it etc.

Slop font is way worse than Comic Sans.

That’s pretty ridiculous. For some it might be still a great option, staying clear of Google hardware and true hardened security for jobs where you need it. But they really plan to sell it as if it were made from gold.

Sure.

Well, they are the first AI business that are doing it as prominently, aren’t they? So if it is obviously why is that so? I don’t want to give them too much credit for it either but it is certainly a clever strategy.

Those were not forced labour, nor by far and large where they scientists. The people named up there were members of the GDR’s Volkskammer, members of the Zentralkommittee (those were the highest of the elites) and also local politicians etc. … and all of them were party members of the NSDAP during the 3rd Reich.

What “feds”? Those cases happened in Europe.
