  • Github confirms random 401 responses on unauthenticated git clones are no mistake

  • Codeberg only targets a subset of projects. For example, I no longer want most of my self-written code to be publicly available, but Codeberg only supports public repos.

  • World's first GPS-free quantum navigation trial succeeds at sea

  • I'm guessing they meant sonar instead. AFAIK active sonar does work really well, but is rarely used since it reveals your location twice as far as you're able to detect others. Not to mention the horrible effects on wildlife - the sound waves carry so much energy that a point-blank hit is somewhere between "lethal & untreatable" and "turned into red mist".

  • I don't think it's realistically possible to do that totally undetected. Since the earth's magnetic field is so weak and field strength goes down rapidly as distance increases, malicious actors probably couldn't spoof patterns well enough to make the data look real, at least not without coming very close and staying near their target.

  • It's getting worse year by year. In 2018, 71% of trains arrive on time. In 2025, it became 58%

  • I'm not sure I agree. The real world is never going to run perfectly, so some slack must be included (either by adding buffer time to schedules, or using the way you mention). Of course there are examples like Japan that have done a really good job at optimizing these systems, but you won't be able to successfully apply their approach to every country. Some locations require more work to achieve this, others require less.

    Generally the closer you get to an "ideal" performance, the more costly every further improvement gets. If 7 min isn't reasonable, what number would be? Say we manage to shave off two minutes, at twice the cost of the current system. Is that really worth it?

    The better approach is to include reasonable slack time in people's train schedules, while increasing frequencies so missing a connection doesn't result in hour-long wait times.

  • Palpatine secretly controlled the whole trade blockade around Naboo as well as directing Count Dooku, Darth Maul and General Grievous among many other shenanigans.

    To compare it to German history: Palpatine didn't just light the metaphorical Reichstag on fire, my Geschwisty. He used an armada of tanks assembled into a Voltron-style robot that shoots Flammenwerfer capable of turning air into fuel.

  • The Pollution Being Churned Out by AI Data Centers Is So Severe That It's Almost Incomprehensible

    Jump

  • They still need us to advance AI until it's able to self-improve. That's why they're pumping so much money into scaling. Once they have that, we'll have lost all leverage - that's what their evaluations are based on.

    I don't think the current approach can achieve this, but it looks like they'll do their damndest to try. They've already prepared for the worst, and if they can choose between X years before everything goes to shit, or X minus ? years before it goes to shit BUT they get AGI to play with in their bunkers...

  • What Youtubers did you drop, And what caused you to do so?

  • I dropped Babish when he bought his brother the car. Don't feel like I missed out since then.

  • She pretty much always picks a non-mainstream opinion on any given topic, even when confronted with evidence counter her position.

    Contrarianism isn't "what a good scientist does", it's stupidity.

  • It could also be a local maximum that's rare to hit. There doesn't have to be downsides.

  • I think that jobs are starting to pick up

    Jump

  • You gotta understand - making workers obsolete is the owning class's greatest desire. They can't wait to get rid of us. So when any chance might come up, they'll try everything to make it work, no matter the cost for everyone else.

  • Bazzite sees a massive jolt in installs in late June and early July, catapulting it to over 86k active devices. It has doubled the number of active devices since November.

  • I'm sorry to have to break this to you, but if you're moving at relativistic speeds, the space between you and objects in your direction of travel does indeed shrink! It's one of the freakier parts of relativity.

  • If every AI company steals the public data separately, it means massively increased costs for everyone who is getting their data stolen. If the AI companies "steal" from each other it's much better for everyone else.
