Not sure “hidden” is the right word, but whatever. The link to the map is here.

Could you tell me what you like about Vivaldi over Firefox? Or what advantages it has? Genuinely curious.

Make the data centers build their own power plants. Then they get all the risk and all the reward.

Make them put the power plant right next to the data center, that way they’re not stressing out the rest of the grid. And that way the exact same community that gets the benefits of hosting the data center also gets the environmental costs of the power plant.

I beg to differ: spez has ruined reddit for everyone.

If anyone has an article with more technical details on what the solar radiation did, and how they’re going to patch it, I’d like to read about it :)

Not a direct answer to your question, but: the sun (like the earth) has areas that are more “geologically” active; those areas tend to throw out solar flares. As the sun rotates, the area that throws out these solar flares slowly faces toward the earth (solar maximum) then slowly rotates to face away from the earth (solar minimum). The solar cycle is roughly eleven years long.

Currently, we’re just slightly past solar maximum. For the past year or so, the “more active” part of the sun has been roughly facing earth and intermittently spitting out solar flares. When these flares hit the earth’s atmosphere, they cause auroras (which is why we’ve had so many auroras these past couple years) and can interfere with electronic and electrical equipment (see: the Carrington event).

I have no details on what l the exact damage that was caused by the interference the plane suffered, nor any knowledge of how they plan to address the issue. But whatever they come up with is going to take some time to develop - and we’re moving away from solar maximum so being hit with a massive flare is increasingly less likely - at least for another decade. My suspicion is that they’ll come up with a “solution” that actually may not work very well, but it works well enough to give the impression that they’re doing something - and it’ll look like it’s working to some extent, simply because the active side of the sun is rotating away from us.

[he] addressed the “immense” energy needs of AI, acknowledging that the intensive energy requirements of expanding AI ventures have caused slippage on Alphabet’s climate targets. However, Pichai insisted that the company still wants to achieve net zero by 2030 through investments in new energy technologies. “The rate at which we were hoping to make progress will be impacted,” Pichai said, warning that constraining an economy based on energy “will have consequences.”

We need “line go up” so badly, we’re willing to bake the planet.

“We will have to work through societal disruptions,” he said, adding that the technology would “create new opportunities” and “evolve and transition certain jobs.”

Someone once described AI as “a way for the wealthy to access the benefits of the skilled, without allowing the skilled to access the benefits of wealth”.

He made a post on reddit like five years ago, doing a brain dump on various features and stuff.

I edited everything before deleting it, double-checked it was still deleted periodically, and it all got restored sometime earlier this year.

Hates fediverse, still wants to be part of it.

So had I!

Is any of that money actually going to the authors, or is this just like a fine they hand over and they donate some money to a charity or something?

Honestly, I’m mostly wondering about the nutrition factor. Not that you expect much from butter, but we all know this will be slipped into other things, just like hfcs.

Okay, cool. Hey, I’m now taking bets on how long until someone uses the ads to inject malware into a car or truck …

Little blip at 1701 (NCC-1701). I wonder what the other individual blips represent.

Until they change their ToS (without telling you) and enable it by default (and hide the controls that let you decline).

In other words, meta is harvesting your WhatsApp data, and gives you a (potentially inaccurate) summary in exchange for feeding their LLMs.

How is a manufacturer going to be held responsible for their flaws when musk DOGE’d investigating his companies?

Just a reminder that it’s illegal to wear masks in New Orleans unless it’s Carnivale.

Fuck spez.

“dynamically integrates positive content from Reddit users directly below an advertiser’s creative, putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives”.

the company is also introducing a “scalable, AI-powered social listening tool. […] Informed by proprietary metadata, it provides precise, real-time insights that help marketers confidently plan campaigns, validate creative ideas, and make smarter business decisions"

I wonder how much they had to pay a business major to come up with those sentences, or did they just use ChatGPT …
