At least they aren't trying to get Steam to work on Kali.

I've seen someone try that.

Alcohol was involved.

Most of the EVs in the Australian market seem to be SUV-like

Eh, there's SUVs and there's SUVs. Manufacturers have taken to calling everything an SUV because people will pay more that way.

My EV gets called a "compact SUV" but really it's an oversized hatch.

It's only a safety feature if it stops someone from getting injured. If it just kills the device, that means they have to buy a replacement!

IIRC USB killers work because they're sustained high voltage. USB ports can often deal with a static discharge or over current, but a sustained 200 volts will let the magic smoke out.

8GB GPUs still have a place, and that place is the $100 price tier.

I tried feeding Japanese audio to an LLM to generate English subs and it started translating silence and music as requests to donate to anime fansubbers.

No, really. Fansubbed anime would put their donation message over the intro music or when there wasn't any speech to sub and the LLM learned that.

The fun part is that even if you protect the factories, they're moving more and more into automation. So the jobs will still be lost.

Sorry, best we can do is microtransactions, fear of missing out and AI slop. That'll be $90.

Okay, but your EV has an even smaller, slower charging battery than mine.

In the time it would take to get swappable batteries standardised and swap stations built and running, cheap EVs are going to have a lot more range and better charging speed. Swap stations aren't up against today's EVs, they're up against 2035's EVs.

 

Just two years ago my car's 50 kWh battery weighed around 350 kg, now you can get a 45 kWh battery that fits in the palm of your hand!

 

In this paper, we aim to answer a long-standing open problem in the programming languages community: is it possible to smear paint on the wall without creating valid Perl?

We answer this question in the affirmative: it is possible to smear paint on the wall without creating a valid Perl program. We employ an empirical approach, using optical character recognition (OCR) software, which finds that merely 93% of paint splatters parse as valid Perl. We analyze the properties of paint-splatter Perl programs, and present seven examples of paint splatters which are not valid Perl programs.

 

Something about fibre to the node inspired me.
