randomblock1to Technology•Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”English1·17 days agoThis was desperately needed.
But I’m not convinced they aren’t just going to make alts.
Isn’t there already a special low-power part of phone chips designed to listen for wake words?
I’ve always wondered why there isn’t VR optimized compression. Seems like each eye would mostly have similar or shifted pixels than the other. Nice to see some work being done in this space

randomblock1to Rust@programming.dev•Microsoft is turning Rust into a first-class language for developing secure Windows drivers8·27 days agoA lot of Windows bugs are memory corruption bugs. And those are often severe. Using Rust does actually prevent memory corruption. The rest of Windows is still probably insecure, but any security improvement is good.
Also, the SSD bugs may have been caused by prerelease SSD firmware. With all this back and forth who knows though.
Reverse image search. Some guy posted this on Reddit a year ago
Found this, looks pretty close
It’s biodegradable in an industrial composter, and degrades in sunlight. Sure it’s not perfect, but compared to everything else its impact is minimal.
This looks like a fake TV station they’d have in a movie or something. Especially the logo…
If I had a nickel for each time a major company changed their logo from a recognizable bird to something completely generic, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it’s happened twice
No, it’s expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There’s even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.
Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They’re spending billions on GPU power, they don’t care.
I’ve been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.
And when GPT-5 stops doing this, all of a sudden it’s a bug and they want 4o back.

Seems like a win to me
randomblock1to Not The Onion•UK Asks People to Delete Emails In Order to Save Water During DroughtEnglish2·2 months agoGiven the difference in server CPU/memory/storage/network/scale, I don’t think it’s possible to get any number with confidence. Maybe you could self host, but that wouldn’t be representative of real email servers. Plus different email providers handle emails differently.
And cloud providers probably automatically scale with load, Gmail probably uses more power during work hours than after.
Also SSR is relatively new and email services are ancient, I’d be surprised if any used it. I’m not even sure if it’s a good idea for email.
Plus it would probably vary with how many emails you have in your inbox…
I just don’t think it’s possible to get an actual number.
randomblock1to Not The Onion•UK Asks People to Delete Emails In Order to Save Water During DroughtEnglish4·2 months agoNetworking is remarkably efficient, and so is decoding images, because processors do it so quickly. For more intensive tasks like video, hardware decoders make them efficient. All email is to the client computer is making a request for data, processing that into a list that can be displayed, and displaying it. I’m pretty sure just having the screen on is orders of magnitude more power hungry.
The FDA would probably also like to have a word.
randomblock1to 196@lemmy.blahaj.zone•here's another character of mine named Eva!English4·2 months agoWell, would you rather them NOT tell you it is AI? I don’t think it’s bragging, it’s disclosure
If this was a poorly drawn Paint illustration it probably wouldn’t have been as funny or recognizable. AI is fast, easy, and good enough. This is just a meme most people will forget about in literally 1 minute, IMO there is nothing wrong with using AI like this
