Publisher 360 I guess with some extra expensive cloud subscription.

Well yes, if you can afford to boycott airbnb clearly you could do so.

And AirBnB is all around the world so I’m sure there is plenty of illegal things to rent on Airbnb. They just look the other way.

I think stand up maths did a video getting stung by bullet ants and showed it’s not as insanely painful as coyote seemed to imply.

So I indeed think he is over-dramatic most of the time…

I keep up with US news for years by now and I’m some French dude who shouldn’t care about it. The US is a preview of the next issues my country will encounter so I think it matters to follow some American news.

I think it doesn’t matter really why American elected Trump twice. It just raises the question on what can we do to change that. And there is nothing else really to do that trying to reach out and convince the other side.

My main philosophical question out of this is what can you do if your country decides unequivocally and democratically to be racist or Xenophobic or commiting war crimes?

It also doesn’t really matter as to why a large group of human beings can agree to be racist but I think it definitely says something about humanity. In some way it makes climate change more “acceptable” in my mind. Maybe we do deserve to go extinct if after all this progress and intellectual collaboration all we get is deciding to become racist or discriminatory, to morally fail, to prey on the weak and powerless.

That’s how bad the US looks for me right now. It’s depressing in general about us humans and not just America. It’s a testament to our ability to be evil and to collaborate to be evil or mean to others.

We usually get one or two people saying to look for the helpers in time of crisis. There is no helper for this crisis. Good luck living in a dictatorship I guess.

No, just upgraded from a working computer to an up to date not working computer.

One single French company and that’s it :(?

I thought we had some great AI researchers in France but it seems they are long gone if all we can muster is one startup?

Just an error that targets only one side of the political spectrum. Of course.

I know you wanted to be sarcastic but you ended up not making any sense.

Also we only see the past since our vision has a bit of “latency”.

So I guess we never see reality but just a delayed representation of our environment as interpreted by our brain.

It fucking sucks and will slow down the transition to electric cars.

We already have that shit in France too. The national companies sell prohibitively expensive cars with some amount of financial help. But if you buy a Chinese car (even with a demonstrably proven carbon footprint) you don’t get any help.

Basically this is about protecting our car industry and shielding from their incapacity to provide a value electric car to the masses. Nothing to do with emissions.

I thought it was obvious you wouldn’t say “hey I just took your benchy model and changed N vertices”. But just “happened” to inadvertently create a benchy lookalike.

Also there is definitely a point where it would be safe to reproduce the benchy design otherwise we could point at anything on earth and say “that’s a heavily modified benchy.”

Or are we all benchy? Am I a benchy with a thousand modified vertices?

So let’s be pragmatic there is nothing preventing me even to start a new design that vaguely ressemble the Benchy design. All it takes is for that “vaguely” to be enough so that you could argue you were not making a benchy redesign but just stumbled on something that could look Like a benchy.

I would actually suggest to make this new benchmark as close as possible to the original design as a middle finger to these idiots.

Any 3D printing lawyer interested in creating a 4D benchy? Also the same benchy but with just enough modifications to be legally safe?

I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?

Is the concept of invasion not clear?

You don’t have to ask once you invaded.

Sure this is an unlikely scenario but saying Donald can’t afford to lose a partnership by invading an allied country is not understanding the problem.

This is not at all my experience with custom mail domains.

And I say that after spending a lot of time setting SPF, DKIM and DMARC filtering.

I guess you got lucky.

Does it?

Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.

For some reason I can’t open any of the pictures you uploaded.

Kind of doubtful there is “redundancy” and you can afford to just straight up lose a component without it having a functional impact.

I assume manufacturers would prefer to get a better component that is guaranteed to last as long as the warranty rather than put many components in parallel and just hope they are lucky not to get many failing components at the same time that are supposed to be redundant.

I asked ChatGPT about this as I was curious about the design of modern motherboard and redundancy.

Take that with a grain of salt obviously :

In some cases, motherboard manufacturers may design circuits with redundant or parallel components, but this is not the norm for most consumer-grade motherboards. Instead, multiple components, such as MOSFETs, are often used in parallel to handle higher current loads or improve power delivery efficiency, rather than as a backup in case of failure.

Key Points to Consider:

1. Parallel MOSFETs in VRMs (Voltage Regulator Modules):

Modern motherboards often use multiple MOSFETs in parallel within the VRM section to distribute the load. This improves thermal performance and ensures stable power delivery to the CPU, GPU, or RAM.

If one MOSFET is removed or fails, the others may compensate temporarily, but this could lead to overheating or instability, especially under high load.

2. Redundancy for Reliability:

True redundancy, where one component is a backup for another, is uncommon in consumer motherboards due to cost constraints. It is more likely to be found in high-end server motherboards or mission-critical systems.

3. The System Boots, But Risks Remain:

The system may still boot because the remaining MOSFETs are compensating for the missing one. However, this can stress the remaining components, potentially leading to overheating, instability, or premature failure.

4. Importance of the Detached MOSFET’s Location:

If the detached MOSFET was part of the VRM or another critical circuit, its absence could reduce power delivery efficiency and system stability. If it was part of a less critical section, the impact might be minimal.

5. Repair is Recommended:

Even if the system appears to work, running it with a missing MOSFET is risky. The component should be re-soldered or the motherboard replaced to ensure long-term reliability.

Advice for the Person:

If they suspect a detached MOSFET:

Identify its exact role on the motherboard (consult the schematic or motherboard layout if available).

Avoid stressing the system until the issue is resolved.

Seek professional repair to reattach the component if they lack the tools or expertise to do so.

While the system might seem fine for now, ignoring the issue could lead to further damage or failure.

I’m a bit skeptical on the Email alias feature but this is a really cool project.

I just don’t know how practical it is to use custom domains to receive those confirmation emails.

Wouldn’t you receive a ton of spam once your email domain leaks (which will eventually happen)?

Email is also useful for password reset.

Hey you can believe what you want. They may be in the wrong but I would say it’s statistically way more likely OP just got what he deserves.

Just like any criminal would systematically say they are innocent even after an appeal.

Maybe OP could show us screenshots of that appeal? Just curious.

The way I see it, innovation is a product like anything else in the context of capitalism.

Sam Altman wanted openAI to be non profit in its innovation but this was incompatible with capitalism that identifies it as a product with value.

So basically capitalism tries to find monetary value in anything so it can be sold because the ultimate goal is money.

Innovation is a byproduct of capitalism searching for new things to sell.

(Disclaimer : I understand Sam Altman probably never genuinely wanted to innovate for free, this is just a posture)
