cmxch··on Italy blocks US use of Sicily air base for Middle East war
> the best peaceful tool I feel that I have to protect my children's future is to maximize the embarassment, shame, and personal disgust of those who the U.S Government represents. Those who have a vote and a voice in their town square. Those who can protest or strike. The goal is to make current levels of domestic inaction intolerable. I'm delighted by the No Kings turnout. That's a good start.

And I’ll vote for the people that prevent and/or limit the damage you wish to cause to the current administration and its supporters. Especially if it means using privacy laws to prevent doxxing of such individuals or any adverse action against them.

cmxch··on OkCupid gave 3M dating-app photos to facial recognition firm, FTC says
Between this and “date safety” invasions of privacy, maybe have a discussion on data ownership and privacy?
cmxch··on I'm betting on ATProto
What does ATProto have that isn’t simply a hermetic barrier against heterodoxy?

You have a protocol that makes it easy to concentrate the self-same toxicity it is trying to prevent.

cmxch··on AI isn't killing jobs, it's 'unbundling' them into lower-paid chunks
Unbundling is killing, full stop.
cmxch··on The Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock Is Now Heading West
Yes, the Iranian diaspora that has favored the end of the Carter Mistake. And Americans old enough to recall Carter’s disastrous loss of Iran.
cmxch··on The Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock Is Now Heading West
That’s when you scale up the weaponry on Iran to make economics based attacks useless.

What good is a cheap drone if the operators aren’t just dead, but wiped from the Earth? Assuming the drone hasn’t been destroyed too, it sits idle. Or redeployed by American forces against the IRGC.

A glassed Iran and $50 oil is more preferred than to have $200 oil and environmentalists backed by Chinese money dictate my life.

cmxch··on Solar is winning the energy race
A valid concern, especially for places that have less than ideal sunlight.

Only if you front load a lot of regulatory and fictitious “externality” costs onto the alternatives.
cmxch··on Oil at $150 will trigger global recession, says boss of financial BlackRock
Then the US reserves the right to step to larger hardware and to remove ships that have YRMB oil.
cmxch··on Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs
The B60 was released but strictly on a B2B basis until a couple of months ago. The B60 dual, a much rarer bird, was scalped heavily enough to be unobtainable.
cmxch··on Hold on to Your Hardware
Not sure about the memory, but Xeon Scalable/Max ES/QS chips and their boards are still not horribly expensive.

Prior to the crunch, you could have anything from 48-64 cores and a good chunk of RAM (128GB+). If you were inordinately lucky, 56 cores and 64GB of onboard HBM2e was doable for 900-1500 USD.

They’re not Threadrippers or EPYCs,but sort of a in between - server chip that can also make a stout workstation too.

cmxch··on Colibri – chat platform built on the AT Protocol for communities big and small
So does it have the same hermetically sealed qualities that other atproto implementations have (BlueSky)?
cmxch··on Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs
The B60 (and the dual edition) were an entire exercise in how NOT to launch a product.

They let people have the B50 but only released the B60 late in the cycle.

cmxch··on Intel Announces Arc Pro B70 and Arc Pro B65 GPUs
Good to see that Intel learned to release product to more than just resellers.

Now can we have a 64gb B70 that’s worldwide available and not marked to unicorns like the Maxsun B60 Dual model has been?

cmxch··on Oil at $150 will trigger global recession, says boss of financial BlackRock
Explain how the US would even approach or even be made to forcibly accept the idea of bowing to another country, especially those three? They are not the average European country and do not behave like them.
cmxch··on GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating system
And for some distros, it’s a CoC violation to question it.
cmxch··on Tinybox – A powerful computer for deep learning
Surprised to see X3D given the reports of failures. I’ve opted for a regular 9900x and X670E-E just to have a bit more assurance.
cmxch··on Oregon school cell phone ban: 'Engaged students, joyful teachers'
Any data that discusses the effects of jurisdictions that still have refused to pass or enact such provisions?
cmxch··on Drugwars for the TI-82/83/83 Calculators (2011)
I still have my GX from the late 90s which managed to outlast my Metakernel equipped, overly rubberized 49G. If I were to dig it out, the serial cable too.

And a printout of the sysrpl guide, it being quite thick of a print.

cmxch··on Xiaomi launches next-gen SU7 with 902 km range and Lidar, still undercuts Tesla
Fair enough. I can imagine regulatory hurdles that might increase it, but could imagine a potential light touch partnership to help things along.
cmxch··on Xiaomi launches next-gen SU7 with 902 km range and Lidar, still undercuts Tesla
Why 45k and not 33k, if we ignore the tariff issue? It being 33k would be a good thing, 45k would miss the point.
cmxch··on Trashing American Allies Turns Out to Be Bad for National Security
How would one reach $200 oil without some sort of price restriction inhibiting further increases? I can’t imagine anything going north of $150 without pitchforks and strong action to prevent and/or forcibly reverse increases.
cmxch··on The MacBook Neo
Still would be a good ssh terminal or presentation laptop.
cmxch··on Oracle may slash up to 30k jobs to fund AI data-centers as US banks retreat
As long as they can be made to work in a consumer or homelab setting, they are still useful.
cmxch··on Oracle may slash up to 30k jobs to fund AI data-centers as US banks retreat
I just want to skip to the moment where we get affordable hardware again.
cmxch··on Global warming has accelerated significantly
And what exactly would prevent a country like the United States to use its outsize resources to moot this org?
cmxch··on System76 on Age Verification Laws
Still not good enough to comply in advance.
cmxch··on Jensen Huang says Nvidia is pulling back from OpenAI and Anthropic
No problem with that, even if it takes force.
cmxch··on Lenovo’s new ThinkPads score 10/10 for repairability
For me, that’s the older(?) T15g Gen2. Maxed out a reasonable i7 /4k screen/16GB 3080 mobile configuration when SSDs and memory were dirt cheap.

Feels like the old A31p in practical grunt but thinner and easier to maintain.

cmxch··on Intel's make-or-break 18A process node debuts for data center with 288-core Xeon
Aside from the memory cost being exorbitant, 4th/5th gen ES CPUs aren’t horribly expensive for the core count you get. 8480s and 8592s have been quite accessible.

Stuffed an 8480+ ES with 192gb of memory across 8 channels and it’s actually not too bad.
