Unfused. Probes/cables began rapidly heating up. I violently shook the the battery to break off the probes from it.

Probe tips instantly welded on a nanophosphate A123 battery.

I vomit in my mouth every time I see these dumbasses.

Try to come up with a reasonable process for transitioning between the thresholds or stop pretending you’re interested in anything but proving your point.

Agreed. I’ve grown up with the development of the WWW and where we are today is completely different than where we used to be in the 90s and 2000s. The consolidation, universal access and the profit maximization via rage farming has put societies globally in an unprecedentedly precarious position. This isn’t your uncle’s Internet anymore. It’s a hyper-personalized engagement-maximizing corporate experience for all but a small fraction of people who were lucky enough to escape it. Anyone feeling I’m overreacting should spend an hour with their old account on Facebook.

To the “can’t enforce this because it can be circumvented” argument - this is missing the point of most laws. The intention is to apply to the majority, not to be foolproof. Getting most to stop a harmful behavior already gets us most of the benefits. We can never stop everyone.

Number of users is an obvious example. There are others.

This is straight up standard right wing propaganda. A much simpler explanation is that the platforms are feeding people false realities for profit. Rage gets the most engagement. Right wing propaganda works extremely well for that and as an added benefit it produces cohorts who vote in the interest of the platform owners. It’s a twofer.

I find the intermediary classification a bit unconvincing and perhaps unintentionally misleading. It sounds like a nice framework to look at the world and it does describe the particular domain alright and it allows for drawing useful conclusions. Unfortunately solving the problems it highlights would produce marginal gains because I think intermediaries as described are just a special case of something more general. Firms of any kind are acting as intermediaries in the exchange of the products of people’s labor. The effects are all the same, these intermediaries make the exchange easier at the expense of keeping some of the labor products from one end or the other, but usually both. It seems to me that the problem of the platform intermediaries power is just a special case of the power of firms over labor. Which really reduces to the problem of the power of capital over labor. If we somehow solve the platform intermediaries problem, we leave the general problem unsolved. And then if we don’t think in terms of the general problem, we can’t even solve the special problem because the tools needed are controlled by capital. That is the lawmakers who could change the law are paid by the powerful intermediaries (firms) and not by the people on either end of the intermediaries. If we hope to ever solve any of this I think we have to look at the world through the general lens and focus on ways to reduce the amount of capital accumulated by firms from people’s labor. Fortunately there are well known solutions for that and they’re actionable for most people.

But the relationship between the two continued to sour, with Gallant criticizing Netanyahu for failing to put forward a vision for the Gaza Strip after Israel defeated Hamas, and failing to reach a cease-fire deal to release hostages held by Hamas. They also clashed over the role of ultra-Orthodox men in the Israeli army – a key segment of Netanyahu’s ruling political bloc.

So Yoav “Human animals” Gallant seems to be the better of the two.

I see. Makes sense.

If you need to serve only one user at the time, ollama +Webui works great. If you need multiple users at the same time, check out vLLM.

Why can’t it serve multiple users? Open Web UI seems to support multiple users.

This is the right way to optimize performance. Write everything in a decent higher level language, to achieve good maintainability. Then profile for hotspots, separate them in well defined modules and optimize the shit out of them, even if it takes assembly inlining. The ugly stays its own box and you don’t spend time optimizing stuff that doesn’t need optimization.

This came out of what Haaretz’es publisher said at a conference in London. Not out of something published in the paper.

There’s a WIP VirtIO driver in a PR but it’s not done yet. VMware’s own VMSVGA is open source if I remember correctly. I wonder if they’ll adapt it to KVM and if they do, whether that’ll be usable in KVM without VMware.

If we get VirtIO 3D acceleration in Windows guests from this, I’d be really happy.

Do you think I’m talking about Iran’s bombs? 😂

Most of the world yes. But in this one where the quantities, types and prices of the bombs used literally depend on the American election, it probably influences decision-making.

I don’t know why would Iran attack before the election since that could boost Trump’s chances and Trump would be worse for them. Perhaps this is an attempt by Israel to nudge the election towards him?

Ok, then why don’t we apply this logic to democratically electing politicians?
