  • Hard drives are so variable and failures so unpredictable, I bet you can't find that information. Most of the actual data about hard drive failures, like Backblaze's reports, are for drives that don't spin down.

    That said, spin-down has always been used for saving power, not drive lifetime. I would generally assume spinning down never extends lifetime. Even in the case of an external hard drive you plug in once a month - it is very likely going to fail earlier than the drive spinning 24x7.

    Also, I wouldn't shy from keeping the database on the same, fast storage as the OS, even if that's flash. Move to an external SSD when you can. HDDs have such long seek times.

  • Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

    Jump

  • This isn't about what you use, it's about what the majority of the voting public uses and the influence on them.

  • Google is blocking AI searches for Trump and dementia

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's insanely inept. They could have restricted the AI from answering "any question about a public figure and dementia" or even "the health information about a politician" or whatever if they were genuinely concerned. But they blocked only specifically Trump and dementia? It's almost intentionally obvious.

  • flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace

    Jump

  • The various local options -like FB marketplace - don't have anything. When shipping things, yes Ebay has a really decent dispute process (leaning in favor of purchasers). Something like this would be best to aim for the local market first rather than shipped items that are harder to manage.

  • AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds

    Jump

  • I agree that it is certainly debatable. However, my experience has been that information extracted about, say what may cause a strange error message from some R output, has been at least as reliable as random stack overflow posts - however, I get that answer instantly rather than after significant effort with a search engine. It can often find actual links better than a search engine for esoteric problems as well. This, however is merely a relative improvement, and not some world-changing event like AI boosters will claim, and it's one of the only use-cases where AI provides a clear advantage. Generating broken code isn't useful to me.

  • Ukraine is in a situation where a war is either being run well, or Ukraine doesn't exit. There's no real third option. The U.S., on the other hand, could run a war badly for decades with it's wealth and geographic isolation propping it up.

  • This is the smoking gun. If the AI hype boys really were getting that "10x engineer" out of AI agents, then regular developers would not be able to even come close to competing. Where are these 10x engineers? What have they made? They should be able to spin up whole new companies, with whole new major software products. Where are they?

  • They are statistical prediction machines. The more they output, the larger the portion of their "context window" (statistical prior) becomes the very output they generated. It's a fundamental property of the current LLM design that the snake will eventually eat enough of it's tail to puke garbage code.

  • Those happen so often. I've taken to stop calling them hallucinations anymore (that's anthropomorphising and over-selling what LLMs do imho). They are statistical prediction machines, and either they hit their practical limits of predicting useful output, or we just call it broken.

    I think the next 10 years are going to be all about learning what LLMs are actually good for, and what they are fundamentally limited at no matter how much GPU ram we throw at it.

  • AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds

    Jump

  • If it wasn't for all the AI hype that it's going to do everyone's job, LLMs would be widely considered an amazing advancement in computer-human interaction and human assistance. They are so much better than using a search engine to parse web forums and stack overflow, but that's not going to pay for investing hundreds of billions into building them out. My experience is like yours - I use AI chat as a huge information index mainly, and helpful sounding board occasionally, but it isn't much good beyond that.

  • Trump Makes It Very Clear They’re Going To Turn TikTok Into A Right Wing Propaganda Machine

    Jump

  • That's why this is so terrifying. Twitter at least had a politically engaged userbase, so people noticed the changes. Tiktok users get political content only incidentally, and has far fewer actual journalists. They are going to get manipulated beyond reason.

  • Tech is the easy part. Building social capital is the hard part. That takes talking to people, face-to-face.

  • No one is against Americans vacationing in Canada. Many of us chose not to go down because of this stupid economic warfare the administration started. But that’s just business, as they say. It’s about asserting economic independence. Come visit. No worries, buddy.

  • You would have to script something based on whatever service is actually being used, or maybe node red? In the past, way back, I used something like this that is just a simple web page that the user has to click a button to start the machine - there are a bunch of these https://github.com/Trugamr/wol - the web server is on the lan with the NAS so can send the magic packet, but the page can obviously be served over the internet.
