  • 4000ac solar farm in Texas devastated by hailstorm

  • This is officially the worst argument yet. Who cares about what some fake god thinks, we have to deal with our own very real issues around power generation and anthropogenic climate change.

  • Playboy image from 1972 gets ban from IEEE computer journals

    Jump

  • Huh I had no idea!

    I'm pretty sure I compressed that image in our computer vision class with some alogrithm we implemented for exercise. I though that was just some artsy over the shoulder picture, but seeing the full version the shoulder does seems supicious in hindsight.

  • As a linux user, do you know about/use openwrt?

    Jump

  • Yeah of course! Once I went on a buying spree of used WNDR3700. They were so cheap and I won a few too many bids at once.

    I gave one to a flatmate when we lived together as students and he took it with when he moved out. Put one in the office room of my current flatmate and still have one or two in reserve. I usually take one with me to LAN-parties.

    Before that I once used DD-WRT on a WRT54GL. It also wasn't bad from what I remember.

  • What Router can you recommend?

    Jump

  • You haven't mentioned what sort of access link or speed you have, that seems very relevant here.

    For my 1Gbit/s fiber connection the Edgerouter 6P has been pretty good. It has an SFP port and can route 1 Gbit/s of traffic without issue and my dual-stack setup works well too.

    The only significant downside is that its switching is slow, it has no hw support. So I put my NAS on a separate subnet instead so that the traffic to it can be routed instead.

  • Reddit is going public. Will its unruly user base revolt?

    Jump

  • I think that the ones who revolted against their preparatory enshittification aren't Reddit users anymore (hence why I'm here), and the ones who didn't revolt won't do it now either.

  • In Cringe Video, OpenAI CTO Says She Doesn’t Know Where Sora’s Training Data Came From

    Jump

  • Don't downvote this guy. He's mostly right. Creative works have copyright protections from the moment they are created. The relevant question is indeed if they have the relevant permissions for their use, not wether it had protections in the first place.

    Maybe some surveillance camera footage is not sufficiently creative to get protections, but that's hardly going to be good for machine reinforcement learning.

  • Denmark to conscript women into armed forces for first time

    Jump

  • It seems really uncommon to me. I'm aware of only Israel doing this, while I know that Switzerland, Finland, Austria, Germany 15 years ago, when they still used the militia, and Thailand do not. In the US I believe only men have to register for the draft.

  • What does your desktop look like?

    Jump

  • If I ever started customizing my KDE Plasma, then that would be the last direction I'd ever go in.

  • in a couple hundred more countries

    There are only around 195 countries in the first place and the EU represents 27 of them. So I'm afraid there isn't a couple hundred more available to fine Apple.

  • Don't use Appimages (a writeup about all the reasons they are a pain for users)

    Jump

  • Because the FHS is a more sensible organization of files. Not every user needs to have their own executable for each program, that's a mess.

  • Asking for a Linux (or non-Windows) laptop during a job interview?

    Jump

  • As a Linux user, you can pretend the os x is just Linux. That’s not true, but you can make it work with brew, some googling and your favourite ide / tech stack.

    You can, but it's still a miserable experience because the GUI is opinionated and its opinion is shit. I've been on that boat for three years now.

  • OS Recommendations for 2014 MacBook Pro

    Jump

  • helloSystem sounds miserable. Copying all the weird things that macOS does and hiding how things work in favour of "simplicity"

  • Mercedes-Benz scales back electric ambitions as EV pessimism grows

    Jump

  • I think combining both makes sense: Usually I use the bike or public transit to get around. But today I rented an EV from a local rideshare company (Skoda Enyaq iV80 4x4) because we had to move an entire rack of equipment between two cities for work.

  • The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

    Jump

  • What I said was still true according to his even newer followup; Fortinet really told that to the Journalists:

    https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/111895724464138614

    I'm really glad Kevin got them to admit it was a fabrication. The way he asserted that it was a made up example first, before having anything concrete to back it up, made him seem unreliable to me at first.

  • the original 1s and 0s

    I think your issue starts there, you already have to decide how to build your sensor:

    • If it's a CMOS sensor how strong do the MOSFETs amplify? That should affect brightness and probably noise.
    • How quickly do you vertically shift the data rows? The slower the stronger the rolling shutter effect will be.
    • What are the thresholds in your ADC? Affects the brightness curve.
    • How do you layout the color filter grid? Will you put in twice as many green sensors compared to blue or red as usual? This should affect the color balance.
    • How many pixels will you use in the first place? If there is many each will be more noisy, but spacial resolution should be better.

    All of these choices will lead to different original 1s and 0s, even before any post-processing.

  • The three million toothbrush botnet story isn’t true.

    Jump

  • I mean we haven't seen any proof, but Stefan Züger of Fortinet told that story as a supposedly true event to Journalists of CH-Media. The very article Kevin Beaumont posts says that the scenario is a real event.

  • RTX 4070 Super launch day sales are rumored to be a ‘disaster’ – what’s going on with Nvidia’s new GPU?

    Jump

  • Is this indicative of future potential bottlenecks? Maybe but i wouldnt be so sure.

    This is exactly what I expect. I have seen what happened to my friends with their GTX 970 when 3.5 GB of VRAM wasn't enough anymore. Even though the cards were still rasterizing quickly enough they weren't useful for certains games anymore. Therefore I recently make sure I go for enough VRAM to extend the useful service life of my cards.

    And I'm not just talking about buying AMD, I actually do buy them. I first had the HD 5850 with 1GB, then got my friends HD 5870 also with 1GB (don't remember if I used it in crossfire or just replaced), then two of my friends each sold me their HD 7850 with 2GB for cheap and I ran crossfire, then I bought a new R9 380 with 4GB when a game that was important to me at the time couldn't deal with crossfire well, then I bought a used RX 580 with 8GB and finally the RX 6800 with 16 GB two years ago.

    At some point I also bought a used GTX 960 because we were doing some CUDA stuff at University, but that was pretty late, when they weren't current anymore, and it was only used in my Linux server.
