The motivation behind OpenAI’s founding stemmed from concerns about the rapid advancement of AI and its potential risks. Many of its founders believed that without careful oversight, AI could become a threat to humanity, particularly if controlled by a small number of powerful entities. OpenAI aimed to provide an alternative by making AI research more open and accessible.

I think they got lost on the way

Solar panels last way longer than 10 years. Usually they have a 25 years warranty on them that means that after 25 years they are still producing at least 80% as much power as they were producing when new!

"Mauvaises herbes" this is the word I was thinking about.

Same for me, I stopped distro-hoping 2 years ago when I moved to NixOS.

It was tough at first, setting it up took a while and i genuinely felt stupid like i haven't felt for a while; but now I love having the same config on my two laptops. I have one that stays at work and another one for traveling. With one word/line added into my config I can as a software, configure the VPN, change the wallpaper on both my laptop, or not. Some stuff like gaming goes only on the traveling laptop.

Also, another big thing for me is the feeling of having a cleanly built system all the time. I haven't felt the urge to do a clean reinstall since I started with NixOS.

GM received more than $7 billions of subsidies and around $50 billions of "Federal loans, loan guarantees and bailout assistance".

US auto manufacturers are getting their fair share of subsidies.

China's biggest strength is that they are very good at manufacturing products at a low cost.

They can make cheap products at a low cost but they can also make very good products.

Aliexpress for getting parts is amazing.

The French name for weed could be translated to "bad/wrong grass"

If we can live just as long as we do now but in better health it would be amazing.

I couldn't work from home but I really like coworking spaces.

Rather than having to commute all the way to the main office I have an office located 5 min away from home.

This way I do have an office, coworkers but without the long commute.

Wait, I messed up. It's almost 40 years ago, not 50

 

So, to give the context I was driving to a city 2 hours away from my home and the shortest path is through mountains.

I was surprised by the snow but, apparently I was not the only one. From afar I saw this big geese-like bird jumping on the road but realized when it tried to take off that it looked much bigger.

As I got closer I realized that it was probably a Vulture. The closest match I could find is the griffon Vulture, there is some in the area.

It did not look hurt, it was trying to fly but could not take off.

My router (makita) was supplied with a copying guide but the opening was too small.

I've look online but I could not managed to find the right size so I did what any sane person would do: print one

So, I had to reinstall windows as a dualboot, because I need some CAD tools for work. It was painful but it's not thebaubject

I'm running nixos with systemd-boot and I installed windows on another drive. I started to research how to add the entry on the boot list so I don't need to go in bios to switch the boot order each time I want to change OS.

Most of the information I find is about grub on nixos but I finally find information on how to add a manual entry. On the Arch wiki I find some information but now I have to blend all that to make it work on my laptop.

It's late and I'm scared to mess up my boot partition so I go to sleep to work instructions on it the next day.

The next day I'm ready to do all that only to realized that there is already the entry for windows is already in the boot menu, it has been added automatically.

So I spent all this time to think about how I while have to adjust my system manually only to realize that nixos already did it automatically for me.

 

Ca m'a donné la banane pour la semaine !

Edit : aaaah ! J'ai été trop lent d'une minute.

 

To be fair they were also using encrypted messaging to talk to each other like WhatsApp and Signal, they even show their mom how to use it which is extremely suspicious.

“All members of this group were particularly suspicious, only communicating with each other using encrypted applications, in particular Signal, and encrypting their computers and devices […].

when the DGSI [a French security agency charged with counter-espionage, counter-terrorism, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups] has questioned Bastien about what he thinks of Macron. A photograph on his computer is mentioned, which according to them details the President's security arrangements for the July 14th parade. (...)

The device in question (an aerial photo taken from the press) is highlighted in such a way as to draw a dick. A dick.

The link is made with Bastien's passion for drones. The implication is that he could have used a drone to attack this dick-shaped device using explosives.

I'm wanted to share with you the blog that my wife is writing, she's writing about parenting and relationships and she's making some amazing articles !

 

I believe this is a very good initiative. France is allowing collective self consumption.

It means that in an appartement building or in a neighborhood (up to 2km radius) people can organize in a collective to redistribute electricity to each other. If someone has extra production one day then he can redistribute to other people in the collective. For free or at the price they agreed upon in the collective.

It does not need any extra hardware, it's using the existing installation from the national utility grid.

This is exactly how I imagine a solarpunk community would work.
