Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two “technology branches” already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

And your sources? I only did a cursory search, and according to the IEA data centers are responsible for somewhere in the range of 2-6% of electricity demand. Renewables are currently around 30% globally.

In electronic music you often slightly detune the left and right of a synthesizer to make it sound “wide”, you can’t do that in mono and if you mix the stereo down to mono it sounds boring.

The parties in the NFP already said that they’ll initiate a motion of no confidence for Barnier.

Hashcash isn’t “cryptocurrency”.

Macron’s Ensemble Coalition plus Barnier’s Les Républicains don’t have a majority in the National Assembly. By choosing a prime minister from a right wing party one could argue that Macron hopes for the support from Le Pen’s far-right Rassemblement National with which he officially doesn’t want to cooperate, otherwise there could soon be a vote of no confidence and back to square one.

If it’s bland and unexciting then it fits very well into Disney Star Wars and Disney should be very happy about it being so on brand.

Sony shuts down all of their Japanese studios and redirects their efforts into developing “cinematic” experiences to appeal to western gamers

They shut down Japan Studio, that’s a name, they still have studios in Japan.

Yeah, it’s the wrong generation and has a little too much power, the closest would probably be a 3060 which was available shortly after the launch of the PS5. But it was still more than half the price of a PS5 and you need more than a GPU for a computer.

Whenever I open Nano basically all the commands it has are listed at the bottom, for small things it’s perfectly fine.

Oh, I was talking about driving with a controller.

Good game, had a lot of fun with it. It seems a lot of people didn’t like the game because the graphics got downgraded from what they showd in the first trailers. They only real complaint I have is the handling of cars is weird.

They will try until it passes. And if it’s stopped in the courts they will try again.

No, it was withdrawn, removed from the agenda so there was no vote, now it’s back on.

Modern C compilers have a lot of features you can use to check for example for memory errors. Rusts borrow-checker is much stricter as it’s designed to be part of the language, but for low-level code like the Linux kernel you’ll end up having to use Rust’s unsafe feature on a lot of code to do things from talking to actual hardware to just implementing certain data structures and then Rust is about as good as C.

Lots of categories which Rust doesn’t prevent, and in the kernel you’ll end up with a lot of unsafe Rust, so it can’t guarantee memory-safety in all cases.

AFAIK he’s not talking to RN either, and if you look at actual parties and not groups then RN is the strongest party. It looks more like he’s trying to break the NFP to get the support of some of the parties like social democrats or greens, because in such a coalition his party would be the strongest. In a coalition with RN his party wouldn’t be the strongest and would have a hard time claiming the prime minister position.

Did everyone become stupid in the last 10 or so years? We used to write huge apps in Python without any type checkers or static analysis tools and never had any problems we wouldn’t have had in statically typed languages.

Battery and hydrogen-powered trains exist, they’re mainly used on less frequented lines because it would be more expensive to electrify them.

I wouldn’t drink the waters of Mars.

Mars is a world, it was never specified which world this community is about.
