Yeah, it’s well understood that homo didn’t just magically start existing and that caused all of its ancestors to suddenly disappear, but the headline makes it seem like that part was in doubt. (FWIW, I originally read the “staggering” part to be the find itself – like, what are the odds that you find a cache of various ancient hominid teeth together?)

Yeah, agreed. I originally read the “staggering” part to be the find itself, not the confirmation of the already well-regarded theory of contemporary existence, but I definitely see what you mean here.

Some things ought not be meddled with.

Comforting words in “interesting” times. Thanks as always.

I hope to have to use this information someday.

Y’all from the Midwest?

While it is commonly believed that there is only one correct way impale a human, the author here contemplates several alternatives.

You can - I currently have a few “real” VMs running along side LXC containers for Linux-based stuff that isn’t docker-ized yet, and of course a bunch of individual apps (jellyfin, photoprism, etc.) that come from truenas’s library and run in Docker containers natively. So everything seems to be working well, I just wonder if there’s something I’m missing out on (FOMO/grass is always greener, etc., etc.)

Paying homage to the ancestors

I’m still using that mouse, with a 9-pin to ps2 and a ps2 to usb

Ok reading a little more the class has been certified but it hasn’t gone to trial, so there’s still a possibility of a closed-door settlement of some sort, though given the number of parties involved that seems unlikely. Maybe I’m just being optimistic. But if it goes to trial and makes it to judgement there will either have to be cases where using copyrighted materials to train AI (which seriously how is that not for generating derivative works) is found to be ok, or copyright will be held sacrosanct and the whole gen AI industry will have to pay… something. Punitive damages would make the industry cease to exist overnight, and I’d bet most publishers would prefer a check instead.

It has to set some precedent though. Either there are valid reasons to violate copyright are there aren’t.

oh, definitely. I just meant it’s going to be something much closer to a “conventional” compact fission reactor (the only examples of which I could think of being for naval uses) than an RTG. I have to imagine that bleeding off all of that heat is going to be an interesting challenge in a hard vacuum.

The call is for a 100kW reactor, which is way more than an RTG. This will be more like a submarine/carrier pressurized fission reactor that’s fitted out for use in space.

Still be really nice. It’s usually not too much effort, but is always appreciated, especially by those who need that niceness the most.

Ah but if they did use screen then they could fork multiple shells, detach, log out, log in again and everything would be as they left it.

There will be a follow up bill called Act to Mandate Aggressive Zero-Exception Bans on Anonymous Login & Secure Networks that makes VPNs, TOR, etc illegal. I think they’re working on it in the UK already.

I may have to make this my bio.

It’s like a Bob Ross painting!

When this happens to me it’s usually a cloudflare problem. Sometimes it fixes itself in a day or two. A few times it has been broken for weeks and I’ve had to use a VPN to reach it.
