бип-буп, на месте

Love the explainer to the meme.

Keep up the good work!

Let’s not make the splinternet a reality, pretty please.

Chinese scaling and manufacturing, Russian IT expertise, Iranian experience of sanctions evasion and North Korean hacking and remote operations mastery are not the combo you want to bet against.

They would absolutely build the self-sustaining economy and rival networks, but in the process it would destroy the Internet as we know it, and break communication channels that are vital for democracy and international peace, while also breaking communications between relatives and friends on the two sides.

Yeah, I got that, but I don’t think they mean that, exactly, otherwise it would be their focus indeed.

But I guess we’ll have to wait and see

oh, the irony!

They didn’t mention it anywhere

:D

I don’t think there is a single universal Great filter, and living and then potentially sentient beings with various traits will face various obstacles.

First, life needs suitable materials for polymers and a lot of energy. Most places don’t have both.

Next, basic blocks of life that would be self-replicating and adaptive should be randomly generated, which is extremely unlikely and literally took over a billion years on Earth, a planet with generally great conditions for such process.

Then, those blocks should be able to get together to form complex structures - ideally, many separate ones, so that one event wouldn’t destroy the entire effort. Earth had it easy, with billions of super simple life forms.

Next, assuming life survived up to this point in a potentially unfriendly and ever-changing environment, bombarded by UV light and exposed to myriad of sources of damage, it should not destroy itself or environment too badly to never recover. Earth had periods when life generated too much carbon dioxide or too much oxygen (yes, that too was a thing), and those were critical points at which our story could very much end.

Then, life has to evolutionize and get into complex forms, either by forming multicellular organisms or by making a cell a powerhouse of everything.

Then, life has to get sentient, and some kind of response system should be available and get highly complex.

Then, most of the sentient creatures just won’t be tribal, and civilization requires society and a common effort.

Then, many more won’t be expansionist, and will die out in some small region.

Many also won’t be competitive, which would slow down evolution.

For those species who are competitive, they shouldn’t destroy each other while they’re at it, and this is currently one of the risks of our own.

And after all that, they should develop space travel and either get as developed and decisive and resource-rich as to send a generational ship to some random planet named Earth populated by genocidal monkeys, or to somehow hyperdrive here. They can very much decide it’s not worth it, and they may be so far away we couldn’t see signs of their civilization.

Our initial offering will include ChatGPT, Google Gemini, HuggingChat, and Le Chat Mistral, but we will continue adding AI services that meet our standards for quality and user experience.

Is that the same Mozilla that started the Joint Statement on AI Safety and Openness?

What in living hell do proprietary and predatory AI services even doing here?

Mozilla just offered users to feed into the very abomination they claim to fight.

Also, for all things “AI”, local is the only way to go if you ever want to have a chance at privacy.

Seen this post over and over. This is not a new study at that point

Depends on the definition of “wasting”

There’s always a way to spend less water, even less than you currently do.

But normally spending more water translates to comfort, as well as better washing.

Also, Flatpak

As containers are isolated - it’s mostly a security issue for the container itself. It may become an issue, though, if the container is allowed to freely interact with filesystem, for example.

Apps like Flatseal allow you to easily control such variables using a GUI instead of tinkering in the terminal.

There’s nothing wrong in speaking out for other groups for as long as it actually corresponds to the current needs of people inside the group, as defined by themselves.

This is what being an ally is all about.

But yes, one should better consult people on what they ask for in the first place.

Should be locked from applications. Only fairies will pass!

Bad.

Flashing Lenovo A6000 failed when I did it about a year ago.

Bricked the phone, didn’t manage to fix it even with Qualcomm tools.

Wasn’t worth pursuing further to me back then. Would love to know if someone succeeded!

What matters is longevity and price per watt, first and foremost.

High-efficiency solar panels might be cool for spacecraft or other highly limited space installations, but generally it really isn’t the absolute first priority.

An amazing thing, to be honest
