Notch funds a real life Mooshroim when?

I don't think there's a way to commit identity theft in this hypothetical that would work. Being immortal would mean it had to work in the long run, or at least a few decades until you can do it again. Someone will notice eventually. You can call it "people being stupid about it", but a mistake will happen if you wait long enough.

See, that's the kind of "America is a shithole" argument I can support.

It'd be nice to have a singular system for payment around the world. I work on e-commerce sites that take payment in many different countries, and some of those payment providers are better designed than others.

Calling the US a "shit hole" because it's hard to commit identity theft is odd.

FWIW, scientists who study supercentarians think Jeanne Calment was legit. She answered some extremely detailed historical questions about her village. She was either a walking Wikipedia about the area she grew up, or her claims were real.

That said, most supercentarian claims probably are bogus. They often come from areas that had bad recordkeeping a century ago, had their records offices bombed out during a war, or are generally well known for pension fraud. They're often very poor areas that tend to have a low life expectancy, and it's very strange that a real supercentarian would pop up there.

Also, AI and images tend to have a shinyness to the skin. Gives it away more than fingers.

I accidentally wandered into a lemmy.ml bit recently and said ML can be rejected just on the basis of consistently devolving into cults. The reply came back of "why do you not like Marxism?" as of that's what I said.

Oh, and they removed that comment and banned me, but that's just as well.

Make everything faster. Space that isn't used for caching data is space that's wasted.

This isn't necessarily about apps that run on your desktop or phone. Most code in the world runs on servers, and the use cases are different.

That would be a Chromebook.

Is that what has happened to the storage market historically?

That's likely the point where spinning platters die in the marketplace.

Right now, spinning platters are around $12/tb. SSDs are around $75. Exact numbers fluctuate with features and market changes, but those are the ballpark. Cut in half, SSDs will be $38/tb, and then $19 in the next halving. Spinning platters aren't likely to see the same level of reduction in that time period; they're a mature technology.

I think once they reach double the price per tb, we'll see a major collapse of the hard drive market. My thinking is that there's a lot of four drive RAID 10 systems out there. With SSDs, those can be two drive RAID 1, and will still be faster. With half the drives, they can be twice the price and work out the same.
