  • If you can't explain why the rule matters, then I won't follow it.

  • It can go too far in either direction. If you're writing a report you know no one will ever read it can help to ask why and push for an answer, but it isn't the driving instructor's job to explain why you should stop at the red light.

  • Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

  • It's a single rack rather than it being a whole data center. The whole constellation of satellites is the data center.

    Again, I'm not advocating for this as a good idea, just saying that cooling is not the reason it is a bad one.

  • That simply isn’t true, the video I linked explains everything clearly, for a 20kw satellite the cooling area is needed very modest.

    Still not a great idea and I am not advocating for it, but people need to stop fighting bullshit with bullshit and start fighting it with truth.

  • You can, they just have to be smaller rather than a massive single orbital data centrer like this proposal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlQYU3m1e80

    Still not a great idea because of the economics, but the same can be said for the data center build out on earth too, so why would they let that stop them?

  • Recommended mini pc for a homelab?

    Jump

  • Most n100 new mobos need ddr5, a few older ones only need ddr4 though. Either is unaffordable right now. Better off going for something second hand which uses ddr3. Will use a bit more power but the break even point vs an n100 + ram will probably be a decade at least.

  • A pi 5 will cost way more than a second hand mini pc.

  • Storage?! In this economy!?

    Jump

  • Don't forget the power bill, even if they sit idle most of the time. 12 drives * 5 watts * 24 hours * 365.25 days ~= 525 kwh. That would cost me $157 aud a year for electricity.

    If I instead bought a 6TB drive brand new I'd break even after 3 years, assuming the 500GB drives are $0.

  • AMD Announces Socket AM5 Longevity till 2029

    Jump

  • For consumers, yes, everything is slowing down to a crawl because we are a rounding error as far as nvidia amd and intel are concerned. Most people are just giving up on building a new PC and sticking with what they have, which means software and games will have to keep targeting the older hardware for longer.

    Even console releases are slowing down, ps3 2006, ps4 2013 (7 years), ps5 2020 (7 years), but the ps6 isn't expected until 2028 or 2029.

  • I wouldn't worry about what is "outdated" anymore, everything is going to stall at these prices and older PCs will retain value and usefulness much longer. Look at the actual performance for the actual dollars spent. Locally I can get a 5800X for 1/3 of the price of a 9700X + 32GB ddr5 + mobo. 1/3 of the price for 70% of the performance seems like a no brainer, but it depends on your workload and requirements.

    I've been on am4 for 6 years and will prob stay on it for another 5 years at this rate.

  • Basically I think the Australia can be saved by the people voting but I don't think the USA system can. We have some problem with gerrymandering in the lower and upper houses, voting is not exactly proportional because of that, but there are actually minor parties and independents sitting in parliament and holding the balance of power. Just this last week the governing Labor party is trying to pass budget and tax reform, which they can only do by getting the leftist Greens party to vote with them. This tax reform shifts taxation away from income and onto assets such as property and shares to make things more equitable.

    We have our problems, sure, but an unchallenged head of state and a failing democracy is not one of them. If conservatives or centrists are in government here it's because the Australian people voted for them, and every person's vote counted via preference flows if their #1 choice didn't make it in. If conservatives or centrists are in government in the USA it's because there was literally nobody else to vote for.

    You also vote for the party here, not the prime minister, and the party can throw out their prime minister any time they want. Or the governor general can fire them. Both of these things have actually happened in recent times. As far as I'm aware, Nixon after watergate was the only president to actually lose office and he resigned rather than getting thrown out.

  • I’ve always voted as far left as I can

    It's so fucked that this is as far left as you can vote, first past the post is mental. Over here I can vote for the socialist alliance party or the animal justice party and actually have it count for something.

  • As an Australian looking at the US political system, it is fucked in a way that voting can never fix. It simply isn't a democracy in anything other than name.

    Over here I can vote for someone other than the two major parties and my vote will actually count for something. In the USA you're basically throwing your vote in the bin unless you vote for horrible party A or slightly less horrible party B.
