Moved here from lemmy.world. Long live piracy!

  • This reasoning is pretty weird, but the conclusion is basically right. That is, there is absolutely no way to extend the conventional notion of volume to Rinfinity, which is basically what most people would imagine is the infinite equivalent of our dimensional space. Edit: what I mean by Rinfinity is a bit ambiguous, but let's say for the purpose of a hypersphere we want something like l^2 hilbert space to ensure no vectors with infinite length appear, then we have a separable space and the proof is complete.

  • I have personally had a lot of issues with pop os on my laptop (related to power management, waking up the WiFi card, overheating leading to a kernel panic, GPU refusing to go to sleep), which disappeared as soon as I installed Endeavour OS.

  • You don't have to move your hands while touch typing. This is the single biggest reason why vim is still used today, regardless of whether you have arrow keys or not. In fact vim does support arrow keys and using the mouse as well! It's just much easier to edit files without needing to move your hands and/or use a touchpad/mouse.

  • Yes, you are correct

  • And what would those penalties be? If you are not based in the country having these moronic laws, they can't do shit (see: fines for 4chan in the UK, fines for Google in Russia), except maybe 'banning' your distro, which amounts to nothing, since whoever is determined enough can just find it online anyways.

  • False. Wires are used for many purposes, among others carrying mechanical loads or electric current. Cables, on the other hand, are bundles of wires carrying electric current for any purpose whatsoever, including supplying power to equipment and carrying data.

  • You should also consider the fact that Linux users are hugely overrepresented in such communities, because there is a large overlap between people who, as a hobby, want to make stuff in the physical world and people who want to make stuff in the digital world.

  • Well, how do I put it... compliance is optional

  • USB killer would be a fun thing to bring to the US and have it searched despite your claims that it is not a flash drive

  • The world is going to shit... also, I am asking out of pure curiosity - how does DPI interact with encryption where you live? Is encryption just plain illegal or what?

  • Yeah, I didn't know about that, that sounds terrifying. At least I was still right in saying that they cannot block VPNs completely - you can still send traffic through HTTPS or DNS requests, but it is just too slow for most applications, however definitely enough to be able to communicate with other people in times of censorship. Based on my research Russia is also experimenting with CIDR whitelisting, which is even worse but does have the huge drawback of basically breaking the internet except for a few large sites.

  • You also can avoid all of these disruptions by camouflaging your packets as some generic protocol, which is already quite easy e.g. in Mullvad by using shadowsocks and ai disruption (randomising, among others, packet size and intervals). In fact, it will always be impossible to detect VPNs without deep packet inspection - and that would require banning ALL internet traffic encryption, which seems unrealistic because of the astronomical downsides, even in today's political situation.

  • I mean yeah, but they specifically mentioned its amazing performance in tasks requiring reasoning

  • Thankfully, AI is bad at maths for exactly this reason. You don't have to be an expert on a very specific topic to be able to verify a proof and - spoiler alert - most of the proofs ChatGPT 5 has given me are plain incorrect, despite OpenSlop's claims that it is vastly superior to previous models.

  • It is easy to quickly Photoshop an ID, I did that for discord and it worked immediately (despite my lack of skills in using ps)

  • Oh yeah, I forgot about that, that is maybe something we will get to use when quantum computation makes it feasible, so there is some hope

  • How is that "private"? You would need to encrypt the memory somehow, but then the key to that is also somewhere in the cloud's software/hardware... Afaik there is no possible way to make a truly private remote VM

  • Can confirm, in fact there is a reasonable probability that you won't be able to setup the shitty official NVIDIA drivers and the new card will run slower than the old one :(
