  • openmic.social — a new open-discourse instance that doesn't shadowban

    Jump

  • Sounds like you'll have an interesting time moderating trolls and their endless respawns. Shadowbanning has its troublesome aspects even conceptually, but it was invented for a reason.

  • If cats were the dominant progenitor species instead of humans, how different would the world be?

  • They would make us all carry can openers 24/7 for the immediate gratification of our cat overlords.

  • Would you use a website that required a browser extension to uphold end-to-end encryption of user content?

    Jump

  • What? Lol no. And a site like that probably shouldn't have signatures. Something like Bernstein authenticators would be way preferable.

  • How can i teach myself to contribute to these projects?

    Jump

  • Which projects?

    Can you look at the source code in the repos and make any sense of it?

    Are there open issues connected to the repo, that you think you could make some headway with?

    If you have 0 experience writing code, I think contributing to an existing project isn't a good way to start. Better to text a textbook and work through some exercises, and do a few small projects of your own, before trying to join an existing team where as a total newbie, you'll be a burden. Note that "small project of your own" can involve forking something that exists and making your own changes or additions. That doesn't require much attention from other people.

    Then, contribute once you feel you are ready to contribute.

  • we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.

    For just terrain recognition, the US has had that since before there was GPS. Since the 1950s even.

  • Two Decades of Cheaper Memory Vanished in One Brutal Year

    Jump

  • Unfortunately besides chips, another huge input to this AI crap is electric power, which is coming mostly from expanding fossil fuel consumption and thus increasing planetary heating. Economists' intersecting curves are of no help with that.

  • Sometimes, when I am all alone i like to fantasize...

    Jump

  • What do you want to do with the HDD's? I have a bunch of crap saved on mine, but nowhere near 12TB. Also I rent some drive space (Hetzner Storage Box) for server backups. That adds up over time but you don't have to spend a big chunk all at once, and HDD prices might eventually drop again.

    Feel lucky that you want HDD rather than SSD. SSD prices have tripled or quadrupled while HDD has not even doubled, per the graph someone posted.

  • Sight reading musicians of Lemmy, do you hear the notes in your head as you read?

    Jump

  • I'm REALLY BAD at sight reading but no when I do it, I don't hear the notes in my head. It's more like touch typing, transferring the sheet music to keystrokes on the piano. People I know who are better at it and know more theory than I do can read a score and audeate (= like "visualize" but for sound) the music. I think the key to that is ear training rather than sight reading per se. I have a reasonably good ear for single pitches but no ear training. Maybe someday.

  • Two Decades of Cheaper Memory Vanished in One Brutal Year

    Jump

  • Some of the shortages have been due to supply interruptions, like the hard drive factory getting flooded, or similarly with a DRAM factory catching on fire. I don't know what happened after the Chia lunacy (Chia was a crypto currency that consumed vast amounts of SSD space and destroyed the SSD's through extreme write wear) but prices did normalize after a while. I know that Chia was the final straw that got Hetzner to ban crypto mining on its hardware outright. Previously, it was forbidden on VPS's but allowed on dedicated servers. Anyway it caused a temporary shortage of both SSD and hard drives.

  • Two Decades of Cheaper Memory Vanished in One Brutal Year

    Jump

  • Yeah that's happened before, with both memory and hard drives. A flood in Thailand caused HDD shortages and price spikes for a year or two around 2012, and there was a similar situation with DRAM some years earlier. There have also been GPU and SSD shortages due to cryptocurrency idiots. This may just be more of the same.

  • What's your favorite shaving tool, if any? I'll go first...

    Jump

  • Your razor is called a double-edge safety razor. Purists call them a scam to keep selling you blades. Shaving enthusiasts (yeah they apparently exist) like to use straight razors that you can keep sharpening.

    I use a plug-in Norelco shaver and consider it close to BIFL. I might have to replace the spinning blades someday. Otherwise, it's more powerful than the battery powered models and doesn't have batteries that gradually lose capacity or tempt you to throw out the shaver when the battery craps out after a few years. The batteries in those models are sealed in the razor like mobile phone batteries, so replacing them is an electronics repair job involving soldering, replacing waterproof seals, and stuff like that.

  • Single English word for dying of thirst, like starvation. Couldn't think of one, how does Exsiccated/Exsiccation sound?

    Jump

  • Starvation doesn't necessarily imply death. Like you could be emaciated from starvation in prison, but still alive.

  • what makes a person a hero?

    Jump

  • There's a whole book about this. Well, partly about this. Hpmor.com. Have fun. I think that part might start at chapter 66. No skip most of that, just jump to chapter 75.
