Looks like we now now run #stablediffusion on quite #minimal #hardware https://github.com/vitoplantamura/OnnxSt.. Very cool!
*This* should be #mandatory #watching for anybody who wants to #discuss #electric #vehicle #ev #cars http://backreaction.blogspot.com/2023/07.. Turns out, as suspected, the #electrical #grid is not ready for them - who would have thought it!
Watched the new #tranformers #film #riseofthebeasts , it was just as #boring as I thought it would be. They really need to do something to #revive the #franchise I think.
Good on the #signal #president #meredithwhittaker for going against the #uk #government on wanting to #spy on #encrypted #messages https://fortune.com/2023/07/13/signal-pr.. *Really* the correct #decision for #signal to take.
Looks like #who have been called out by the #fda as potentially talking shit about #aspartame https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/14/fda-says.. In all honesty, the risk of #diabetes or #heartdisease is probably more likely to kill the average #american even if #apartame does cause #cancer .
An out of the blue #blog from #drewdevault https://drewdevault.com/2023/06/29/Burno.. I cannot speak to what he has gone through. But. You can't tell people to be be #critical of *very* serious claims made. You cannot tell people to not want a #codeofconduct for their own #project . You cannot tell people to believe in some #ideology because they #claim it harms them if you don't ( #lgbt ). There's very little #tolerance in his #viewpoint .
Seems insanely #expensive to run a #mastodon #server , being about $2000 per month for 34k users: https://cheapskatesguide.org/articles/ma.. More needs to be done to make #social #media weigh less in internet traffic.
Pretty cool new #arduino #uno with an #espressif #esp 32 chip for #wifi and #usb https://store.arduino.cc/products/uno-r4.. Basically everything has been increased, this is quite #powerful !
Really great point about how crap #modern #os #platforms have become: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=364.. #gui #applications used to run in milliseconds, now we wait for several seconds, despite #computation being orders of magnitude greater.
#craigmurray has a great point about this apparent #ploy by #putin to create #confusion with #wagner #attacking #moscow https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/.. I fully believe that #putin almost just lost control of #russia and his #reputation has just been massively damaged. #ukraine should have #capitalised on this and made hundreds of miles of #progress , but they dropped the ball.
This genuinely annoys the living hell out of me: https://www.reuters.com/legal/amazon-dup.. #amazon are being #sued *rightfully* by the #ftc for #darkpatterns in their #ui to rob their #customers of #millions . All other Coutnries including the #uk must do the same, it's insane. We all deserve better.
Interesting use of a #ramdisk to avoid #corruption in the case of a #powercut on a #linux #device https://euroquis.nl//freebsd/2023/05/30/.. Definitely worth thinking about!
Interesting, it seems as though #google 's #bard might be #trained on #gmail #email #data https://skiff.com/blog/was-bard-trained-.. The issue is that it might #leak #email #secrets .
#openjdk 's #java #jre is about to get a massive #speed #improvement with the use of #avx 512 #optimisations https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/1422.. #java is secretly still quite a cool little language!
Okay, a #beepberry is precisely what I'm looking for in a #linux #pda , but it is #soldout already: https://hackaday.com/2023/05/27/beepberr.. The #price is even perfect too. I've requested to be put on the #preorder https://beepberry.sqfmi.com/ Amazing little #device !
Just watching #thechinashow by #advpodcast , shocking as always: https://youtube.com/watch?v=TCC13EyR79c #chinese #scrap #ships have been #caught #robbing #wwii #battleship #graveyards https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article.. These are #protected #war #graveyards . This is really quite disgusting.
