I was working in a telecom closet on a military base and one of my coworkers called me to ask a question. I had already been told absolutely no photos. A camera in the room picked up the lens on my phone when I answered it and two MPs were dispatched to apprehend me.

Timing. We are being shepherded into the surveillance state.

In five years my reddit account won’t need verification since it’s currently 13 years old!

But yeah there’s a bunch of solid info and guides on there, niche subjects. I browse some niche subs sometimes but I refuse to interact, not even up or downvote. Sometimes someone asks a question and it hurts to not be about to post the answer, but I only actively use Lemmy and forums now.

From what I’ve read, even the RAM for AI datacenters is not compatible like this, not even for server stuff.

How many times do we have to explain that datacenters don’t run on hardware that is compatible with consumer shit?

He sold his brother? Damn

A couple days ago I looked up a regional supplier of pickled foods so I could tell a friend about them. They shipped all over at least the US for reasonable prices. Now their site just links to the Amazon pages.

I could see them threatening something absurd like no longer shipping to California.

I hear it’s allied with Totoro and Popeye, the child rapists.

meth, mon

The unfortunate thing I’ve heard is that the chips made for AI/datacenter use won’t be able to be repurposed for consumer tech.

Loitering is existing in public without spending money

I know the chips being made by Nvidia for AI use aren’t compatible with consumer hardware. So I’m assuming that whatever Micron makes for AI will be the same, unfortunately.

What product is that?

Honestly that would be kinda cool although I wouldn’t record people without their permission like that. My memory is total dogshit.

You clearly haven’t thought of the children.

Nah it’s just a precursor to having all your online activity tied directly to your identity. That’s the purpose. I’m sure plenty of misguided elders in government think it’s about saving kids from porn though.

For real? China is approximately libertarian? I’m not here to say China is worse than most others but it has a massive state surveillance operation. There is rampant censorship of opinions and media. The penalties for drug possession are severe. The economy is heavily influenced by the government if not centrally run. It seems pretty far from libertarianism.

You think the US economy going totally tits up won’t take the rest of the world with it to some degree?

It’s the newspaper (news site or app now) problem. You read the news from your venue of choice, taking it all in, sorting out how you feel about it, maybe pick a side on an issue. Then you turn the page and there it is. An article about your career field in A.

Wow, you might think, they got this so wrong. They clearly have no understanding of A. You might even get angry about it.

And then you read the next article.

It’s like you gained the wisdom some people get through aging but all at once. You sound like a fun person to me.
