Boeing Will Launch Starliner With Helium Leak (www.extremetech.com)

Boeing and NASA are moving ahead with the upcoming Starliner demonstration launch despite an active helium leak. The launch is now on the books for Saturday, June 1, at 12:25 p.m. EDT. If all goes as planned, Starliner will rendezvous with the International Space Station the following day and return to Earth on June 10. If not,...

It’s simultaneously hilarious and deeply depressing to see how far Boeing has fallen in the last few decades.

So we should only ban things that aren’t helpful to you in particular? That’s a very… conservative way of thinking.

It’d be great if the rest of Europe and the US acted like it instead of pussyfooting around so much

And that’s why Putin really wants Trump to win, because I’m pretty sure that shitstain would decline to respond to an Article 5 invocation, even if he hadn’t already started to withdraw from NATO at that point.

Huehuehue

gravitas_deficiency ,

But this isn’t one of them

gravitas_deficiency ,

Ok. But you should know that we love proportional response. You might even say it’s our hobby.

And that’s why you should run your own router. Preferably using open firmware/OS like ddwrt or pfSense/opnSense.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Not necessarily, but the odds of getting popped by a heretofore undisclosed backdoor that your ISP didn’t think would be a big deal are eliminated entirely, and you can also do a lot more interesting things with your home infrastructure, if that’s your thing.

gravitas_deficiency ,

I mean, the ISP-provided boxes don’t give you a way to upgrade past that faster than you would on an open distribution. The latter had fixes out within a week, or just weren’t affected. And it’s also way easier to check the deps on open firmware/OSes.

I’d much rather have woke IADS than sleepy IADS tbh

Sounds a whole fucking lot like what happened to Toys’R’Us

Sounds like it’s time to get out of dodge.

A quick search indicates that they’ve archived ~100PB of data.

Now I’m trying to come up with a way to archive the internet archive in a peer-to-peer/federated fashion while maintaining fidelity as much as possible…

gravitas_deficiency ,

I think the long term solution is going to have to involve some distributed/federated piratical tactics and infrastructure.

gravitas_deficiency ,

It’d be a lot more complicated than that, I think, if one wanted to effectively be able to address it like a file system, as well as holistically verify the integrity of the data and preventing unintentional and unwanted tampering

gravitas_deficiency ,

Sick. TIL!

But also the customers

fr are these oceanographers just trying to wake The Old Ones or what? Ain’t nobody got time for that shit.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Also brighter

gravitas_deficiency ,

Yes at night, though.

You can see the stars from the dark side of the moon, but if you get deep enough in the ocean, it’s just completely pitch black in the visible spectrum.

Seems like a user pattern that should be fairly detectable. Might not be a bad idea to scrape logs to look for spammy/copypaste comments, particularly on very new accounts, and either flag them for manual review or just ban them outright.

babe the new service logo just dropped

[US] I'm hesitating launching my own business because I'd lose health insurance for my family. What are my options?

I have everything pretty much ready to launch full time. Time, skills, customers, support from family. But I’d leave my current job behind and with it my family’s health insurance for the foreseeable future. I can’t afford any of the options I’ve seen. It’s the one thing holding me back. Any ideas for affordable health...

Yeah you know what really stifles innovation? Our healthcare system being such a quintessential, categorical piece of shit that people don’t want to start a company because then they’d have to deal with the Wild West of unsubsidized insurance in a political environment where health insurance has successfully executed regulatory capture of all relevant laws and agencies.

In the context of the US criminal justice system, especially in more conservative states, the cruelty is the point.

Lmao inasmuch as it includes space, FTL, and aliens… I guess…?

gravitas_deficiency ,

Oh, it’s worse than that.

Google’s “AI” results feed you things for 10 year old Reddit posts that are subtle (but sometimes, also not so subtle) bullshit.

Whatever they’re using to curate training data is evidently pretty awful at detecting shitposts.

gravitas_deficiency ,

Perfectly balanced. As all things should be.

You didn’t create this dragon, Google. We did. And we are weirder than you understand.

gravitas_deficiency , (edited )

Lmao no way

Oh my god

More edit:

For real though: There is a possibility that this is the most epic instance of malicious compliance that has occurred in the history of tech. There is no way a competent engineer would think Reddit would be a good (a primary characteristic of which would be “relatively unpoisoned”) training set. It’s just not possible. This was 100% some business and finance yahoo saying “do the thing” and Eng saying “ok but you’re not going to like it”.

ChatGPT Answers Programming Questions Incorrectly 52% of the Time: Study (gizmodo.com)

I’d just like to make the point that that is not normal.

Eh. The ICJ has zero enforcement authority, and is often very selectively ignored by tons of countries.

The result of this will be:

Israel: no.

ICJ: https://media2.giphy.com/media/t1wrTDwlu9ra0BoqZX/giphy.gif

Note that this is not a defense of Israel or an endorsement of the ongoing genocide they’re perpetrating. It’s merely a statement on how the ICJ is effectively toothless.

Republican bill aims to give Americans in Israeli military same benefits as US soldiers (www.middleeasteye.net)

…what…?

Like seriously… what the fuck…?

You don’t seem to understand the proportion of chips that Taiwan makes for the world these days.

In terms of replacement capacity… there’s not any. You don’t simply flip a switch and start producing other chips on your fab line, let alone scale shit out 5-10x like that on the drop of a hat. It’s not 3D printing. If Taiwan is invaded and they’re forced to destroy their chip industry, there will be an enormous supply shortfall for several YEARS at least, even in the best possible case.

gravitas_deficiency ,

An independent Taiwan is nothing of the sort.

The PRC could have adopted a much more diplomatic and friendly approach - think EU-esque. Instead of this dipshit woLf wArRioR crap, the PRC could have taken the more mature and measured approach, and worked towards making a strong industrial, geopolitical, and economic alliance with Taiwan.

Hell, if they just accepted that the slow and steady approach was probably going to work better than the “I’m going to have a tantrum” approach in general, they’d probably be doing way better in a whole slew of areas. They could have essentially created a de facto alliance with Taiwan over shared culture, language, and history… but no, Xi wants to prove how big his dick is I guess.

gravitas_deficiency ,

I feel like you’re not reading what I wrote. Maybe making it bigger will help:

What you’re saying indicates that you don’t understand the extremely nuanced and industry specific constraints around integrated circuit manufacturing at scale.

The fact that you’re sticking to your guns so hard here tells me that you’re deep into Dunning-Kruger territory.
