Just think of the pollution. The air, surrounded by heavy car traffic on all sides, must be outright toxic, never mind the noise, that maybe can be handled by very good windows (which I am not sure that building has).

The maybe craziest thing here might be that there is a safe underpass leading to the sidewalk of a much less terrifying street (the remnants of a main street, ravaged by neglect and car oriented developments), than that highway exit curve but it appears to be locked and blocked. I might be wrong but that doesn’t look like a path accessible to pupils or their parents.

Punch cards, you see it in the upper left corner.

There are a lot of Nazis indeed.

An American saying he has never been to Europe, without saying he has never been to Europe.

Barely 2/3 of the population of Zürich is even born in Switzerland. It is true however that most of the immigration is from the EU. But Zürich (and Switzerland in general) is rather the outlier here. Big European cities tend to be anything but ethnically homogenous, certainly not in Western Europe. What is however true is that Europeans don’t tend to think in skin colours but ethnic backgrounds, at least those who aren’t Nazis.

It is double that. Anyhow 9% is a pretty substantial short term loss. Markets are nervous but still don’t want to call the bubble for real it seems. Let’s see if they find another excuse in short succession to correct the stock.

“A few percent” is as biased a description for -5% as “plunged”. I mean you can all it both but really both is making it sound smaller or bigger than it is.

And the Zeros are still affordable for everyone and perfectly enough for most tinker jobs. Retail for a Pi 4B 1GB is still 39 EUR. If you need more power than a zero or even zero 2 can deliver.

Not the Pi got ridiculously more expensive. RAM did. As Mini PC replacement of course, the Pi was priced out of competition.

Automated messaging systems have been deterministic but indeed, if more than just a short notice have been routinely ignored by most since the rise of e-mail and automated spam.

Was this written by LLM or am I starting to get paranoid? Do real people write “Let’s break it down …”

Maybe so, but if someone can’t be bothered to write it, I can’t be bothered to read it.

It is, but the other systems are at least as flawed and much worse when things go really bad.

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 ;)

They are turning the Nazi meter all the way to Goebbels.

Unheard of, what’s next? Learning a unit system that is based on 10 as a conversion factor? Preposterous!
