The other side of this is that we can still make software more efficient, and make better use of the old hardware than we had ever thought possible. I’m doing more with a decade old GPU, which was manufactured before “Attention is all you n

No it doesn’t explain it. This is legitimately a difficult target. Did you watch the talk? The people that MS hired to make and break this were top notch, and there is definitely incentive to maintain control over a content platform. This d

Oh yes you’re right, I did neglect physical block erase which does happen outside the data path.

Let’s not pretend anymore. The uncomfortable truth is that that people in affluent countries don’t want to change their lifestyle. Affluent countries are less affected by global warming than countries responsible for a fraction of global em

The SSD lies :) TRIM is a scam. What happens when you XOR a 0 with a byte in a one time pad? You get the corresponding byte from the pad, right? And the block full of 1s or 0s is exactly a case the scrambler needs to be used. It's not

I have good faith, though I should get off hn now... :P I still don't need to assume what the intent is. Troll or no troll, it works. My comments might inspire someone else to try a CoW fs. I'm also really impressed with wikimedia

Yeah same here. Earlier I had a sync error that corrupted my .git, somehow. no problem; I go back 15 minutes and copy the working version. Feels good to pat oneself in the back. Mine is sore, though. My E&O/cyber insurance likes me
