And not just the resources, those orbits are going to be cluttered with slowly-deorbiting junk too. Until we get around to making something that can clean them up, we won’t be able to put anything else there.

If there are game devs that want to try making a game out of a fluid sim, I’d be all for it. Realistically, most devs will have to wait for better middleware that adds NPU matrix acceleration to existing game engines.

You can do lots of useful work with processors designed for large matrix calculus, but not a lot of folks want to run physics sims for some reason.

Then take it back (of course, I’m talking about Linux)

Oh yeah, the name is both descriptive and wildly scifi. XD

Absolutely. But at least that bubble is popping. Soon we won’t have to worry about AI mania anymore. XD

They’re a real thing, crystaline structures with an oscillating temporal component.

This makes a lot of sense though, from the description it sounds like they’re trying to build an NPU out of memristors. We’ve been expecting them to show up to do this kind of math for a bit, since they’d cut a lot of redundant computation out of the layered matrix calculus that NPUs are optimized for if we can make them small, fast, and reliable enough.

And it’s not just for “AI”. A lot of problems, like physics modeling or speech recognition, can be reduced to matrix math. An analog, programmable memristor network can do that kind of calculus almost passively.

I think the opposite of harassment isn’t so much celebrating the targets as defending them directly. In that case, the opposite of kiwifarms is community defense. Everything from infiltrators watching kf from the inside to give the targets an early warning to the folks who provide safehouses for people that can’t stay at home or publish personal infosec guides to help reduce one’s target profile. Every little bit can help when you’re the target of a harassment campaign.

Why are people out here calling graupel “sleet” or “ice pellets”? We’ve already got a perfectly good word for graupel. =D

If it’s flashable and the community support is good enough then this might be my next device. Will have to check on it once the community drops support for my ancient secondhand phone. XD

There was a hearing this week but I don’t think they’re expecting a ruling for a few months.

I just think it’s funny that op can post uncle sam and still pretend this comm is in any way apolitical. XD

Right? What the heck. XD

Paul Verhooven’s satire of Heinlein’s openly-xenophobic novel is highly political.

Interspecies relations isn’t politics?

Pretty sure “politics” includes land-use and the development of wild spaces.

It’s based on Dante Alighieri’s satirical works criticizing 13th and 14th century ecclesiastical corruption and the subsequent influence that corruption had on Italian politics.

It’s the biggest bubble in history because corporate leadership consistently falls for the reification fallacy.

So-called “AI” (specifically, large language models) are massively-multidimensional maps of human language use. They can be used to draw humanlike vectors through the phase space of all possible combinations of symbols, but they aren’t intelligent because human intelligence doesn’t come from the use of language. Rather, language comes from intelligence.
