The longer I look at this the more uncertain I am whether or not this is AI.
The fingers look weirdly long, but all of the text is actually written and oriented correctly, but the shading across the surface of all the cards seems to change brightness randomly, …
You don’t have to dig up the roads to fix buried power lines any more than you have to tear up your walls to replace power lines in your house: you install a conduit (basically a pipe) under the road once and if the cable somehow gets damaged and needs to be replaced you can just run new cable through the existing conduit by simply pushing it in on one end and pulling from the other.
Transformers and other non-cable equipment are typically housed aboveground in little boxes or built in to the house, so they’re actually easier to maintain than if they were installed aboveground on a pole since you don’t need a cherrypicker to access it.
Obviously in a less wealthy small town with existing overhead infrastructure it doesn’t make much sense to move it all underground “just because”, but if you’re already trenching under the road to install water/sewage/gas mains, it won’t cost much extra to throw down an additional one or two smaller conduits for running power cables or telephone/cable/fiber lines.
Only if the old software happens to have drivers compatible with the new hardware, which it almost certainly doesn’t.
Or worse, Excel, which translates the function names but doesn’t do it automatically, so you can only open a spreadsheet if your Excel is configured to the same language as the spreadsheet was created in.
Not sure how much food a person needs after being reduced to a cloud of ionized particles and a small pile of soot.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I sincerely doubt that the maintenance bill for 100 houses is going to exceed a billion dollars any time in for foreseeable future.
What? People say that? I’ve literally never heard anyone speak that way unless they were either non-fluent speakers or doing a caveman impression.
No, it was compiled by the team which maintains my distro’s package repository, and cryptographically verified to have come from them by my package manager. That’s a lot different than downloading some random executables I pulled from a website I’d never heard of before and immediately running them as root.
…are you trying to imply that all neurodivergent people are LGBT+?
I mean, I get what you’re saying, but the Internet Archive has limited resources as it is and doesn’t appreciate being used as a CDN. They’ve said as much themselves on various occasions
why are you using the internet archive as an image host?!?
I use a PowerEdge T620 as my daily driver, let me assure you the CPU fans at full speed can be heard clearly through 3 closed doors :P
Personally I’d be somewhat nervous using dd to edit parts of a text file, but you do you :)
My point was more that the SSD will likely have lower latency than an Ethernet link in any case, as you’ve got the extra delay of data having to traverse both the local and remote network stack, as well as any switches that may be in the way. Additionally, in order to deal with that bandwidth you’ll need to kit out not only the local machine, but also the remote one with expensive 400GbE hardware+transceivers, plus switches, and in order to actually store something the remote machine will also have to have either a ludicrous amount of RAM (resulting in a setup which is vastly more complex and expensive than the original RAIDed SSDs while offering presumably similar performance) or RAIDed SSD storage (which would put us right back at square one, but with extra latency). Maybe there’s something I’m missing here, but I fail to see how this could possibly be set up in a way which outperforms locally attached swap space.
Well, assuming you’ve already gone through the effort to write a custom kernel module to offload your swap pages to Google Drive, it doesn’t seem like that much of a stretch to have it encrypt the data before transmitting it.
I don’t see anywhere close to the same amount of political memes on generic meme communities anywhere else i frequent on the internet. Lemmy feels like it consists almost exclusively of political memes.
I guess i wouldn’t mind so much if they were actually funny, but they aren’t. They’re mostly just “haha those people dumb” with zero effort to be funny or clever or anything which could make them interesting after having seen the first 3 or 4 of them.
how about my geforce 9500 for your vega 64?
