  • This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

    Jump

  • It's not inherent in terms of "more store=more fast".

    You could absolutely take older, more established production nodes to produce higher quality, longer lasting flash storage. The limitation hardly ever is space, but heat. So putting that kind of flash storage, with intentionally slowed down controllers, into regular 2.5 or even 3.5" form factors should be possible.

    Cost could be an issue because the market isn't seen as very large.

  • I still wonder, what's stopping vendors from producing "chonk store" devices. Slow, but reliable bulk storage SSDs.

    Just in terms of physical space, you could easily fit 200 micro SD cards in a 2.5" drive, have everything replicated five times and end up with a reasonably reliable device (extremely simplified, I know).

    I just want something for luke-warm storage that didn't require a datacenter and/or 500W continuous power draw.

  • Even the U.S. Government Says AI Requires Massive Amounts of Water

    Jump

  • Because it's not using hot steam, but vapor, it's more like sweating.

    The heat exchangers are sprayed with misted water, which evaporates and takes away heat. But the resulting vapor is still only slightly above ambient temperature and can't be reasonably condensated.

  • “Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”

    Jump

  • I really wonder what's going on in the editors minds here.

    The entire premise of the article is "All experts say no, but I think yes" - why would anyone about any topic publish this? If it would be an actual debate, maybe some contrarian but actual experts arguing in favor of sentience, you could get into an argument here. But this article is blatant science denial. Climate change deniers and antivaxxers use the exact same approach "facts say X, but my feelings say Y".

  • Keystone, 'Safest Pipeline in the World,' Ruptures—Again

    Jump

  • I mean, "safest" is a superlative, not a positive. It's perfectly possible that all other pipelines ruptured three times or more.

    Surprisingly deep.

  • Booting NixOS with a missing drive

    Jump

  • I didn't know NixOS has its own chroot.

    I'm "chrooted" into the system, howver, user-mapping seems not to work currently. Logrotate fails to build because of a missing user ID.

    EDIT: I commented out all the "advanced" features and had to add some flags.

    services.logrotate.checkConfig = false; in the config solved the "user or group not found" issue and add NIXOS_SWITCH_USE_DIRTY_ENV=1to nixos-rebuild (https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Change_root).

    Now it seems to work and I could piece by piece reactive all the deactivated parts.

  • It's a Seagate, yes. And that might actually do work, but currently it looks more like about 2 bazillions bad sectors.

  • I don't always buy new things, but when I do

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, these nerds (in the negative sense) make it often almost impossible to find "decent enough" stuff. Try finding any information about the "pretty good, but not unreasonably priced" bracket in almost any niche. Almost impossible. Unless audio equipment costs at least one kidney, it's essentially worthless, instead of buying a sub 1000€ knife, honed by japanese virgins, you should better kill yourself, and denim that doesn't require 400 elaborate steps to break in is literally worse than Hitler.

  • Another approach is to use 3-4 star reviews. These have a higher chance of being human and often contain common problems.

  • Musk said no one has died since aid was cut. That isn’t true.

    Jump

  • because that's literally an argument Musk is pushing.

    Just like children.

  • Musk said no one has died since aid was cut. That isn’t true.

    Jump

  • Also, most deaths are not immediate.

    Malnutrition, HIV, even dirty water take a while to kill anyone. Arguing nobody died yet is like throwing 30 children off the roof and saying nobody's hurt, since they're still 5m above ground.

  • The fact that you immediately jumped to depression seems like you didn't even think about the question.

    There is literally no reason to live, we've made that all up. That's not depression, that's reality. Pushing fundamental questions into a pathological corner is condescending.

  • That's not really how black holes work. They evaporate really quickly when they're small enough. And if they're small, they don't have much gravity either.

  • 21 DOGE staffers resign as they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services'

    Jump

  • Yes, because you're completely missing the point.

    There is literally no risk involved for them in just staying. They had their jobs, and they could easily do the right thing by just following the law. If they were to be fired, they would still get severance of some sort. In any case, it would have slowed down Elon at least for a while.

    What they did instead is resigning, thus not getting severance, not being able to slow anything down, making room for obedient bootlickers, and finally they're now unemployed.

    So tell me again: how is resigning the right move? They made the world worse, and they made their personal life worse. Literally no benefit for anyone.

    Your entire argument is ex post. You see the fact that they resigned as a given and try to justify that. Why can't you see that this is not a necessary condition?

  • 21 DOGE staffers resign as they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services'

    Jump

  • ... because they resigned. Seriously, what's your point?

    If they wouldn't have resigned, they would still have a job. And since they couldn't have been fired easily, they would have continued to have a job for quite a while.

    That's not a complex concept, what's so hard to understand about that?

  • 21 DOGE staffers resign as they refuse to 'dismantle critical public services'

    Jump

  • No. They resigned from a job. They were not fired. And as long as they don't break any rules, it's hard to fire them.
