Blocking telemetry would not include blocking 8.8.8.8 though.

Ah, thought you were the other commenter as well, apologies. One day I’ll learn to check usernames

Having cleaned bathrooms before, I’m not sure how you envision it happens. Do you imagine they attach a host to the sink and just spray it down?

And even if that was the case, floor drains exist.

I don’t understand why you are choosing this hill to die on, this is a solved problem. The majority of European stalls employ floor to ceiling design, and have for many years.

And those can be blocked and even redirected at the router level. Though not as simple as spinning up a pihole.

Some franchises fine owners for not cleaning up vandalism in a timely manner.

There’s also the fact that it’s technically vandalism and if a station owner got a wild hair up their ass you could be hit with a misdemeanor.

Please don’t put stickers on gas pumps.

In fact, don’t put stickers anywhere you don’t have permission to put stickers. It’s just a dick move in general. Someone has to clean that shit up.

… what?

You forgot the ever important asterisk of “yet”.

Artificial General Intelligence (“Real AI”) is all but guaranteed to be possible. Because that’s what humans are. Get a deep enough understanding of humans, and you will be able to replicate what makes us think.

Barring that, there are other avenues for AGI. LLMs aren’t one of them, to be clear.

Well, yeah. The majority of IT people understand unionizing would benefit them. It’s the work, the fear, and the unknown holding them back.

I’d vote to unionize in a heartbeat, but I’m not going to kid myself by pretending I’d put in the legwork to get that ball rolling. I have too much else going on in my life, I can barely hold together what responsibilities I do have.

Not officially, anyway

I get what you’re saying, but YouTube music is pretty much just a different front end for the normal site.

Sure, it does some filtering to attempt to be music only (though I’ve seen non music stuff sneak in before) but in the end, you get pretty much the same core experience if you open up the YouTube app and start “watching” a song (with premium for the background play capability).

I’d be willing to bet this is why they won’t go the route you’re talking about.

Yes, the one you host will continue to work assuming it doesn’t have an IP that is easily tied to a Datacenter.

Their handler only ever told them the source was Hezbollah, so they don’t really know where to go from here. It’s why their script keeps looping.

Oh cute, a 1 day old account spouting nonsense.

Greed? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I don’t think you’re going to get the answer you want here. But I’d be willing to bet M$ is dropping the $$$ for whatever retrofits and repairs need to be done, with the agreement being they get the power near cost for a set duration.

Obviously that’s speculation on my part, but would explain the situation quite cleanly.

If there were plans for it to be used, then I’m with you. But if I’m being honest, I’d put money on the original plan consisting of letting it sit there for decades to come without being used.

And “paying out the ass” is what they will likely be doing, just to the private corpos that own the plant. It’s not government run, the money would never circle back to taxpayers beyond normal taxation.

As someone who just delved into a related but unfamiliar language for a small project, it was relatively correct and easy to use.

There were a few times it got itself into a weird “loop” where it insisted on doing things in a ridiculous way, but prior knowledge of programming was enough for me to reword and “suggest” different, simpler, solutions.

Would I have ever got to the end of that project without knowledge of programming and my suggestions? Likely, but it would have taken a long time and been worse off code.

The irony is, without help from copilot, I’d have taken at least three times as long.

“All those children were terrorists, any parents that got hit were collateral damage.”

Is it going to be started up again?

If M$ doesn’t invest into this for their own purposes, is it still going to be started up? Or is your position that M$ should be investing in a nuclear power plant for the good of the world?

Because while I can agree with the idea, we all know that would never happen. So if it was never going to be started up again, we are at 0 gain or loss no matter what they do with it.

And that’s ignoring the fact that they are apparently intending on using that energy anyway.

Your comment comes off as holier than thou bullshit. Do fuck off.
