Technology@lemmy.world•Google is cannibalizing the web to feed AIEnglish
12·9 hours agoIt already is too expensive and adding more compute doesn’t make it cheaper lol it just causes a race to the bottom among data center providers and an eventual crash there too.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The biggest mystery known to mankind
2·9 hours agoI’ve literally experienced the “I changed/edited/deleted this comment and now my code works” before and it floored me. I can’t for the life of me remember what happened specifically I just remember being scared. It shouldn’t do that, and since it did something I deeply don’t understand happened behind the scenes.

Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•High gas prices drive Georgia man to create a "mini car" costing about $3 to fill up
71·9 hours agoAnd if we shared cars instead of owning them it would also save on gas for everyone
And if we paid someone to drive the car around for us it would be swell
Also if we do that we might as well make the car bigger
You know what’s more efficient on gas than rubber on road? Metal. If we made the wheels metal we would have like zero rolling resistance
That tears up roads though so we should probably pave the roads with metal
That’s kind of expensive, so we should only pave metal directly underneath where our metal wheeled car will drive
If we’re going to do all of that it should be bigger. Multiple cars connected together.
Hey we can get rid of gas entirely? We could run this thing using catenary arms and overhead cables. GENIUS!

Technology@lemmy.ml•China Tests Device to Remotely Recharge ‘Drone Swarms’ From Orbit—and It's Working
5·1 day agoIn not a Chinese shill but realistically modern war is a competition of industrialized might. China would whoop the US in a slugfest (i.e. not nuclear exchange. Nobody wins that) because the US can’t produce at the rate the Chinese can.
China can mass produce sophisticated weapons… The US’ military industrial complex and incentive structures (cost + % billing) has created a giant cancerous tumor of an arm’s industry. It’s currently tooled for bullying and murdering brown people for profit, not fighting a near peer nation and changing that system takes years.
It won’t change as long as cost + % and corruption continue, which they will. If the US finds itself in a war with China it’ll have entirely the wrong arm’s industry for fighting them and they won’t have the grace of 1939-1941 to scale their domestic arms industry prior to a major conflict… There’s also the fact that the US is heavily deindustrialized now too compared to WWII… China is closer to the industrial heavyweight the US once was in 1941-45, but they have technological sophistication and a knowledge economy now too…
Patriot interceptor missiles are a decent example of what I mean. They cost millions to produce and take forever to make which is by design. They could be made faster and cheaper but that’s less profit. If the arm’s industry in the US were paid a lump sum and not “pump your costs as high as possible to get the highest cost+% you can” things would be different.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•google's AI moderation deleted artist's entire google account for uploading his own old manga to gdrive
15·2 days agoIf you get cheap large flash drives the thing that’s wrong with them is QLC memory, and the fact flash memory rots over time.
Bitrot is a thing no matter the medium it’s just what timescale we’re talking about. Blurays are the poor man’s LTO tape backups. M-disks were also good for a long time too. Very stable and high density.
However there is a way to make flash drives work for a backup solution. I would pair drives together in mirrors under ZFS. Maybe 4-6 drives in a pool, with 2-3 mirrors. That way you have error detection (ZFS checksums for every bit of data stored), and error correction (mirrored data across drives, along with the checksum to verify which copy is good).
It also allows you to run “ZFS scrub <pool>” to check everything once a month or so and detect corruption and fix it. ZFS can also identify a drive that’s failing from consistent errors.
Edit: if you don’t run Linux you could manage this using a raspberry pi 3 or 4 as the host. It could be a very low power and cheap NAS.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Carney government eying curbs on right to strike, labour leaders warn
4·3 days agoAnd there better be a way to settle greivances for essential jobs or they quickly hollow out. If you don’t, people don’t train for them or pursue them, and we damn well know they aren’t going to up the pay to make them more attractive.
When you do the math on how much it costs both a private citizen along with the public to enable cars as transportation it’s mind boggling.
The province I live in makes around $90-100B / year in tax revenue, and spends around $4.5-5.5B / year on roads and road maintenance.
There’s also the hidden cost of road work caused by utilities being replaced, struck, or newly installed. We pay thx bill for that through our telecom, power, sewer .etc
Insurance, gas, car payments…
If a road is built to last 10 years then technically on average you’re replacing ⅒ of your roads every year. Utilities are the same and trenching/patching is horrible for roads necessitating rework on them earlier than the life expectancy. A fiber line might have a 40 year life span, but installing it turned a 20 year road into a 10 year replacement.
Cave man mode. Save much token. Very easy. Get straight to point. Missing semicolon line 182.
