By spreading I meant thar if there is an underlying manufacturing defect it would be really difficult to predict where and when it would happen on memory. And if there is already a fault detected more might come later.

But I’m glad you documented how to do these types of workaround. It might be helpful with memory prices skyrocketing…

Very cool to be able to do that even though I’m not sure it’s worth it to run a RAM module that has a known defect.

If the fault spreads there will be corruption again.

I would say it doesn’t exactly say that AI is bad moreso that shoving it forcefully in people’s throat is not the way to do it.

If all the BS AI of Windows would be exclusively opt-in I would be “” fine"" with it.

Then there is also the “telemetry” and the random updates, or settings changing on their own and…

Anybody got the feeling some games may be negatively affected by a PiHole ?

It’d not really the reason I stopped using it but I suspected that some games didn’t like it when PiHole was up…

Anyway this post motivated me to reinstall my RasPi.

Funny that the guy spearheading the movement is called “Prud’hommeaux”.

It has a french meaning and is related to labour courts.

I recommend this great video from Scott Manley on the NTSB report :

He also has a previous video that is more speculative before the report but very interesting anyway.

I live in a country that produces 70+% of its energy through nuclear reactors.

Sure we are definitely an exception but turning off datacenters where I live wouldn’t change anything about coal.

To be clear I’m not advocating for nuclear energy nor am I saying it’s a bad option.

Every country has a different energy mix, some more “carbon efficient” than others let’s say but it is not only revolving about coal and renewables.

Anyway, I think it’s fairly clear to me the datacenters won’t shutdown anytime soon even without AI it’s gonna be a major consumption of energy in any country. So I think nuclear should definitely at least considered as an option and to some extent be part of any energy mix. I think everyone knows that only renewables is not really a realistic scenario. Coal obviously is the worst option in any amount. So yeah, I was surprised that you didn’t mention it that’s it. I do think it’s very much relevant to the topic of the ever increasing energy consumption we are all gonna face in the future. This post would probably not even exist if we shutdown datacenters but I suppose you meant it as shutting down only processing power toward AI. But still we will need more datacenters in the future no matter what.

I’m just pointing out the fact that you mention nuclear energy and then discarded it in your follow up.

We will have to fight Chat Control again and again…

Mass Surveillance should be blocked at the constitutional level in all countries.

On another point, my country, France is in a very deep political turmoil right now, so thanks for the robust response of our German friends that was definitely critical. I wish we could have mobilized better in France but we are struggling to just have a working government right now…

And the nuclear ?

You skipped it somehow.

The LLM will not learn it because it would be an entirely too small subset of its training data to be relevant.

I dont get it.

Do you think that if 0.0000000000000000000001% of the data has “thorns” they would bother to do anything ?

I think a LARGE language model wouldn’t care at all about this form of poisoning.

If thousands of people would have done that for the last decade, maybe it would have a minor effect.

But this is clearly useless.

This list of apps is ridiculous and none of them were even noteworthy.

What I’m understanding is imgur could get fine even if they dont offer their service anymore in the UK.

They could go back to just after the law passed and tell them “hey you were infringing on this extremely disrupting law that would completely change your business in the UK so pay up”.

I mean if a business just decides to not serve UK customer they should leave them alone… Especially such a complex law for something like Imgur…

Wow :

“We have been clear that exiting the UK does not allow an organisation to avoid responsibility for any prior infringement of data protection law, and our investigation remains ongoing.”

It’s insane. They could be fined even after entirely leaving the country ?

This is why I didn’t bother switching to GOS, Lineage, Calyx etc despite being sick of Apple’s anti-foss monopoly — marketed as Privacy™️ and Security™️ — for years.

Bullshit. If you liked so much your freedom and privacy you would have many opportunities to use open source ROMs. You chose to stay on your iPhone because it was easy.

Also absolutely not believing you when you say that you anticipated the rug pull and chose to “not bother” for that reason. What a poor excuse for staying and supporting the closed ecosystem of Apple.

After already having to change my services and workflows multiple times over the last 2 decades

I can’t believe someone who has been for years on an iPhone would pretend they are an ardent defender of freedom and open source.

The most ridiculous thing in the conversations I read was someone arguing that the fact that Anduril has a member at SC (Steering Committee) weakens their position. The mental gymnastic is so insane to me because it completely naively expect people who have a conflict of interest to do the right thing. What if they don’t ?

There is real smart fascists out there. they won’t kindly “recuse themselves” and weaken Anduril positions. Very suspicious that someone would argue that Anduril gets weaker at SC by having people there.

Many things can go wrong with Secure Boot…

And by that I’m just saying he has to check his settings before enabling Secure boot. Especially on linux.

Why do you think there will be two tik tok ?

I see no mention of that in the article. It’s just various bastards sharing a business they stole in various shares.

As far as I know F-Droid are adament about builds being easily to reproduce.

They are the only alternative market that worked for hours for free to come up with a build system that let’s you get the same APK with every builds.

So basically you are accusing an alt market that makes it a point that you can recreate any APK on their market. They are the only actually making sure you can check there is nothing “injected” in an APK.
