I have earlier gen and it’s kinda underpowered and undercooled. Sawzall mod should help, but I’d look for results before attempting that.

Open the disks, take the platters out, you can smash them. Or, if you’ve been naughty, you can borrow a belt sander and sand them down to naught.

I’ve looked at the sources of this paper, and it looks like the grams of CO2 per email are taken out of the ass, as it’s just a random value in „SAMRIDDHI Volume 15, Issue 1, 2023 Print ISSN: 2229-7111 Online ISSN: 2454-5767 Survey on Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through Email Conversion”

Microsoft is big tech, and GitHub is owned by y Microsoft.

My take is that it’s already your systems feature, rather than admins responsibility. If you treat departments like customers, you’d find a good way to spread the costs. If something is just a „common infrastructure”, you will always find something that makes costs that doesn’t have an easy way to track who triggered that - because you don’t pass enough information with it.

Not sure what is hard in it - you need consistent tagging, and that by itself gives you a lot of mileage in cost explorer.

Lots of hardware lies about its useful capabilities.

Can you run 4k? Of course. But can you run more than 4 frames a second?

Yeah, and the same thing would happen if e.g. PII or HIPAA related would end up in trained model. The fact that some PII or health data ended up being publicly available, doesn’t mean that automatically you can process or store such data, and train on such data.

If you do stuff, earn from it, and ignore parties and their rights, you are forced to compensate. I guess it will be peanuts though.

The AI companies shown that they are incapable of regulating themselves on this topic, and so people with art at stake should force their hand.

Open source or not doesn’t matter here, what matters is the copyright. If even Disney can defend works they own (whatever their ethics), so should anyone else.

That’s exactly what’s at stake, waiting to be sufficiently litigated. And I hope that creators will win, and that they would be able to tell if they allow richest big tech companies in the world to train on their creations.

It is missing one point: as a creator, I want to be able to forbid you from training on my creations. And the only tool that could enable that is the copyright enforcement over AI training.

It’s not about not using safety standards.

It’s about learning how to drive in a way that you won’t put anyone else in danger.

Safety fearures are only a tool, you are the person who controls a 2000 pound vehicles that can kill others, so drive responsibly.

This is so fucking stupid because you can apply it to literally any safety standard.

And then you write something exactly opposite.

OP writes about “drive to the conditions” which is like… Your responsibility as the driver. If you can’t react to people on the road, slow down.

And you write about being recless.

OP wanted a fun child project, but it’s not fun anymore, just responsibilities.

The problem I see is just a difference between expectations and reality.

Expectations were: it would be fun to give people something for free, create open source, be part of some community. Maybe even get some recognition, maybe better job offers.

Reality is: noone cares about your open source project enough to pay for it.

And such is life. Noone stops you from just stopping working on it, and that’s an adult option. All open source licences have a clause like “I don’t own you nothing”, and maybe that’s the moment to use it.

I could get a beefy windows machine for the price of my M2 air. I’m a software dev and I’ve recently switched from Windows 10 box and Linux laptop.

If you look at the other top stories on Technology, you see:

• MS mentions pushing AI search to Windows 10
• MS asks you for reasons to close OneDrive

For last month, MS was pastering me to create a web account to login to my old win10 machine.

And essentially, MS got me soo tired with all this bullshit, that I’ve switched to Apple. And the only thing that I have to be aware of, is that it often makes sense to wait before upgrading system version.
