  • Well hopefully it will be the start of actions, but I don’t have high hopes.

    Going immediately to counter-assault gives ammo to the freaks who think their actions are justified and they will escalate. Same with the IDF after Oct 6th, same with the US government after gestures broadly literally everything since WWII.

    Real responsibility means making a statement first. Real courage means following through if you get a response you don’t like.

    The first action they took was the correct one. I have little faith they’ll find the courage to take the second one (but I’d love to be proven wrong)








  • If you shut down the computer gracefully first before you power the disks off it should be ok more often than not, but you really should try to have everything on the same system so this can all be coordinated by the OS and the hardware.

    As others have said, avoid powering the disks off before the OS has had a chance to shut down or your disks will NOT be in a recoverable state when everything comes back online.

    I’m not even sure the setup you are describing would benefit at all from a different storage method, even “regular” writes could be in memory or controller buffers. External drives are not meant to have their power cut.




  • PFOA is one of the most prominent forever-chemicals and has polluted every single living creature on earth (including you). PFTE is another one.

    PFOA causes tumors and has been found in 100% of the places (including living creatures) that is has been tested for. Every human, every animal, every river, every forest, every senior, every newborn.

    The real “tinfoil hat” is how we let them get away with it. Oh? They had money and were in America? You don’t say.

    That was already possible. This lets the game run natively on a modern PC, as long as you supply your legally backed up rom image of your N64 cartridge of the game.

    Also, if they trained AI on programming books which they licensed in perpetuity and free college courses and it became better than people at programming, then maybe vibe coding would be questionably good. But they didnt. In a system designed to exploit labor, they took the fruit of that labor without compensating those who deserved it (a crime that, as you elude to in your comment, is not socially acceptable), then they sold their snake oil which is NOT as good at the job it proposes to eliminate as the human worker, to a company which will pay for the privilege of exploiting that technology at the expense of the humans they will replace with it, while it does a worse job and generally makes life shitter for everyone in that entire supply chain, except for the Sam Altmans. Who, as we’ve seen in recent times, want to build tech bro kingdoms where they can exploit people further.

    The problem isn’t the neural network, it’s the exploitation.
