Just let it go.

Don't try to resurrect the horse from the greasy spot on the ground where it was formerly beaten to death.

It's all a cancerous detriment to society.

If you wanna talk to people online... Discord, irc, forums.

Let social media die... Let the trash fire burn itself out instead of lighting new dumpsters on fire in hopes of it being the next big thing.

That sort of thing (social media) is bad, and we (human beings) just need to let them go away.

It's all a hives of propagandists, "influencers", shit posting and lonely people seeking external validation shouting into the void.

100% this.

i know people have things to do and money to make, doing things purely for shits and giggles is good for the soul, and should be considered nearly as important as sleep or taking time off.

you can learn new stuff, not even meaning to, and even if you don't it's still something you're doing for fun.

as with the printing press, cotton gin, etc.

new tools means the barrier to entry is lower.

i wanna say it was BOHF or maybe a thinkgeek shirt - something to the effect of STFU before i replace you with a (very short) shell script.

Asking Chat GPT to write code, and it spitting out valid, working code scared some people.

Having code that compiles/runs and answers the question asked isn't the job of a programmer.

if chat GPT can handle integration hell, the last 10% of the job that sucks up 90% of the time, the polish, sanding of rough edges and greasing of the wheels to make things flow, all the weird customer requests and magical woo woo buzzwords into a functioning product - then yeah people are fucked.

But for now, its just "neat"

seems iffy, might be useful alongside traditional cooling.

1. high frequency stuff to drive this thing might make noise an issue. 2. wouldn't it have to be integrated into the chip your cooling to optimize the effectiveness? 3. the wording leads me to believe their "performance" is cooling to noise ratio and not just cooling.

IDGAF about noise as long as it doesn't sound like in a server closet, i just want to keep things under 90c with a margin for hot days, crapped out a/c.

this is just a solid state fan. cool for sure, potentially very useful (industrial/embedded will probably love it), but marketing needs to calm down.

> fanless cooling solutions which tends to degrade after a few years.

Thermal expansion/contraction between cooler and chip itself "pumps" out the thermal paste which over time degrades cooling performance. If the system is running 24/7 its probably not as noticeable because you don't get the frequent heating/cooling you'd see on a device that gets power cycled often.

Nothing a repaste job wont fix.

No. I'm good.

Rss reader grabs stuff off remote server for local reading. Hosting a tool to grab hosted content is just... Inefficient overthinking of a tool made to make things simpler

If you wanna sync across multiple devices or something, have a checkpoint file or something and throw it on dropbox,one drive, Google drive, owncloud.

The future is duct-tape, bubble gum, paranoia and "it work on my machine"

Honestly, because everyone wants to print their own money. Every chain, sub network, and token has their own unique hypothetical target use case that they're hoping for people to bite into.

Debugging the code for a self modifying ai sounds like detangling a schizophrenic rats nest (like ai post catastrophic fuckup autopsy), but I think a blockchain as a train of thought and sort of a git commit log for the things it "learned" and state info for why it was learned, and actions or decisions would cite rules/"facts" learned from previous commits, something like that could actually make it doable by human beings.

As for cryptocurrency itself, it might be a good idea, but as is with anything involving human beings, greed might make it a wash.

No. No. No. No.

We're already fucked because nobody trusts shit because every study gets turned over within a few years because some company with a financial interest in the outcome wanted to use it as a cudgel to beat their competitors over the heat with.

Lets hand that to fringe nutbags,HoA with too many nosy neighbors and bored people looking to stir up shit for giggles.

People who are into science will decide whether or not they want to put in the work to persue it.

Turning into a crowdfunded anything on the internet is going to turn it into a get rich quick scheme for con artists.

Usually trying to get to work.

A distributed fault tolerant power grid based on renewable energy sources such as solar and wind would benefit from a network of battery storage systems.

for example around 6pm EST the sun goes down on the east coast, however in on the west coast there's another 2 hours of daylight- in the early evening the surplus power from the west coast would handle the demand spike as people on the east coast come in for the evening and start turning on the lights. The reverse would be true in the morning, the east coast could preload the system for a couple of hours as peoples coffee makers and office computers fire up in the morning on the west coast.

Storing the energy instead of burning it off over long haul cable runs could also potentially make the grid more efficient, with the batteries acting as capacitors and smoothing demand spikes and voltage transients - making it somewhat more reliable as well.

Its really not a bad idea, but is gonna require a lot of manufacturing, testing, and getting agreements in different states with different laws and regulations.

the engineering and work are gonna be rough, but i'd guess the paperwork is where the bulk of your time winds up going.

Selecton bias to scare up some last minute votes

How is it ethical?

Pretty good metaphor for the nepotic, incestuous, in group/outgroup shady dealings that crop up in business and politics

Can seems like a sane person. I'd appreciate having more people like them on the internet.

People realize endless growth is impossible on a planet with finite resources and are tired of working for peanuts pretending like it is.

i always played as the burnt corpse, but the sausage people add to the wackiness. time to reinstall gmod

Moderating content, while mundane is valid and valuable experience, not only in the technology aspects but in the human skills that you'd find in any sort of consumer relations focused career.

Hopefully people would choose wisely and at least try to have some feel of a community before deciding to take on moderation duties

Twitter is the platformiest platform to have a platform on in all of platformdom.

Everyone knows, words have meaning, words are valuable, especially on the internet.

If you want to make an impact on the world, the best way to do it is to have a platform and use it to do good things.

The things you do in life aren't important, it's what you talk about on Twitter.com that matters.

It demonstrates the people you associate with and the things you care about so much that you bother to write about them on the internet. People can get a deep and comprehensive understanding of who a person is by just browsing their twitter posts. That way people can pool their social capitol and raise awareness by changing their profile pictures so everyone knows what they're for and what they're against. They can retweet impactful and super important information and news to make sure that people without access to newspaper, television, radio or the internet and even the most antisocial subterranean shutins can stay informed.

Advertisers have flocked to twitter, not because they want to advertise and guage public opinion but because they want people to know they're committed to bettering the world for everyone, and agreeing with the consensus when some trending topic comes up is much more effort intensive and taxing than less effective things like donating to charity.

It really shows they're in it for the long haul and willing to put in the time and hard work to support their customers.

The sun shines at least 5% less bright now that electric car fraudulent space Hitler runs twitter.

Embrace the fragmentation.

The economic situation seems to be getting worse, there's tons of people without jobs that could get lots of exposure and experience working in tech related field by moderating all these small federated instances.

Plenty of networking opportunities as well.

There are going to be a lot more niche and diverse internet communities, and with things being spread out among the various instances it'll be a lot harder for trolls to summon concentrated attacks.

Communities will be smaller and higher quality while still being able to co-mingle via federation.

Unfortunately that stuff may also apply to more nefarious communities online and they may benefit by hiding amongst all of the other federated instances.

He spent a lot of money to fix Twitter..he should have probably had a game plan going in.

At least the bots help steer the conversation and provide useful PR services for the advertisers.
