I think this may be a sign of the 'AI guilt' that even the strongest LLM supporters must feel, if they know how it all works and the environmental impact it has. I feel it just as …

I agree with you, but I don't think the parent post was arguing for money being the only factor, just a big one. Would I work 9-5 for no money: No! Would I move from a shitty 9-5 t…

It's just from articles like this and what I read on the DIY solar forums, so it's interesting to see the real numbers, thanks.

As much as I hate the source of the tariff policies, from an uneducated outsider PoV, they do seem to be causing fewer dollars to leave the country in imports. How does it feel fro…

Nice point! Would it be the same for sound that doesn't escape a room?

> A Reddit user, u/premium_bawbag, who hired a Ford Puma for a week reported a similar experience. Lovely traditional Scottish name there. ;-)

A purely resistive heater, by definition, has no reactive component so there's no reactive power considerer. The 0.1% mentioned might be the light that the project produces.

Until there's more wide support for Encrypted Client Hello (ECH), the SNI header in the TLS handshake is always sent in plaintext. Between that an unencrypted DNS, most routers can…

I think that comment is a little unfair, as the one you link to is a much more sophisticated attack. Thanks for the link, though. Great read!

I think the owner wanted 100 Gbps of scan traffic or had set a specific scan-rate target, which determined that bit rate, so the LLM (correctly) predicted it needed all of those to…

That's appalling! At that stage, it's not on-call, it's just another badly paid shift, which you're probably forced to do in addition to your 9-5. Good on you for leaving.

You're right, but the blog author also seemed to be in the same position.

Great point, and even beyond that I think (based on the paths) it was just a command line invocation, with something like NFS handling all the networking.

Wow! I hadn't seen this, thanks. Do you think they are doing it with relatively innocent motives?

When do you see this? For me, I just go to System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down to Security and look for the message about the blocked app, click Allow Anyway, and the…

Not that oldness is much of a metric for quality, but Postgres does go quite a lot further back: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#Ingres_and_Universi...

They can do so today. Works great for my parents.

This may be an obvious point, but I didn't see it mentioned in the (otherwise excellent) article: I would have been interested in the cost saving in just implementing the 'delete o…

Yes, they mention this as a 'fix' for connection-related memory usage: > Disable keep-alive: close the connection immediately after each upload completes. Very odd idea.

Sorry to say that I don't think any of it is made in Europe. From https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/meet-the-engineers-behind-r... : Hardware engineers Simon Martin and Chris Martin…

Interesting read, thanks! One almost LOL moment for me was at the end of this paragraph: That is also an important part of AWS’s retention strategy: for most AWS customers the easi…

Making something out of it and getting a hit on HN would easily be 'enough' for me. Your replies read like you've had some personal issue with a hoarder. Digging into that may help…

I'm not sure where to go for the free VPS, other than Oracle Cloud, as you mention, but a Cloudflare tunnel will get traffic into your LAN even behind CGNAT or other nonsense.

This is the latest in the line of excuses/distractions made up by the fossil fuel industry. This one seems particularly stupid to me. Once you have purchased your solar panels, I d…

It might have done, but that was roughly the age of the Voodoo 2, which kicked in only when needed for 3D and was literally disconnected from the monitor the rest of the time.
