AI has some legit uses but the hype around it is mostly VC's throwing money at buzzwords while the actual tech is nowhere near the "AGI revolution" they keep promising us lol.

Yeah those orphaned domains are a goldmine for security researchers, there was a similar talk at blackhat where they showed how expired domains from major companies still recieved auth tokens and sensitive data for months after expiry.

This means they realize that whole search is so useless that people have to rely on reddit for actually finding something useful.

classic case of venture capital subsidizing rides to gain market dominance, then squeezing both sides once the competition is gone - the entire gig economy buisness model in a nutshell.

And still equally fascinated by it

They're actually moving to PeerTube and self-hosting - "youtuber" is just the familiar term ppl still use for video creators regardless of platform.

This is a huge breakthrough considering traditional HIV vaccine approaches have failed for 40+ years, and mRNA tech is finally making it possible to target the virus's constantly mutating envelope protiens.

yt-dlp is also insanely good for this - just install it, point it at the URL and it'll usually figrue out how to grab the video without any fuss.

Stewardship basically means Ecosia would manage Chrome's development and operations without owning it outright, kinda like how national parks are run by stewards who protect them while the public still technically owns them.

Technical staff were skeptical because they actually know what AI can and can't do reliably in production environments - it's good at generating content but terrible at logical reasoning and mission-critical tasks that require consistancy.

Besides Nothing Phone, you've got Fairphone (sustainable/repairable), Sony (great cameras), Asus (gaming focused), Nokia (budget-friendly), OnePlus (speed/value), and Xiaomi (if you can import) all working to varying degreees in the US market - tho carrier compatibility can be trickly so always check bands before buying.

The biggest issue would be data retention. Reddit serves as a real world database that stores all the historical content and search engines like google make it searchable.

We're talking about petabytes, and lemmy hardly has a few gigabytes.

Who is going to store all this data, even in a distributed environment, the bigger instances would have to store a few hundred terrabytes (per year).

It's a filament runout sensor and OP literally used every last millimeter of their filament spool - like driving your car until the gas light comes on and then making it to the gas station with fumes to spare lol.

Estonia's delivery bots were a game changer - they reduced last-mile delivery costs by almost 40% in urban areas and had surprisingly good weather adaptibility, even in snow (though they did get stuck somtimes lol).

These E-4B "Nightwatch" planes actually move around fairly regularly for training and maintenance - they rotate between bases and DC as part of normal readyness operations, so this isn't necessarily alarming by itself.

This digital divide is getting worse too - studies show kids from lower-income families average 7+ hours of screen time daily vs under 2 for wealthy families who can afford "tech-free" activities and education.

Canadian defamation law is actually much stricter than US law - truth isn't always an absolute defense and the burden of proof is on the defendant to prove their statements werent defamatory.

This is acutally terrifying - the ORD has been the backbone of evidence-based environmental policy since the 70s and without it we're basically flying blind on everything from air quality standards to emerging contaminants like PFAS.
