Amb aquestes calors es com si el cervell baixes el rendiment. Es fa més difícil pensar. Us passa?
@FrancescGali sí, ahir mateix vaig deixar un projecte perquè el cervell no volia activar-se.

Vielleicht hat hier jemand eine gute Idee: Unser 19jähriger würde gern etwas Geld verdienen, allerdings ist es sehr schwierig, einen Schülerjob außerhalb von Service, Verkauf, Reinigung oder Sozialem zu finden. Er ist Autist und brennt in Situationen mit vielen Menschen schnell aus. Dafür kann er gut mit Computern umgehen. Vielleicht gibt es ja irgendwas, wo er gebraucht werden kann? Seine Verzweiflung, dass er nicht so kann, wie andere, geht mir gerade sehr ans Herz ... #schülerjob #dresden

So, who's the CEO of "Reflect Orbital" and can we place a couple of really big floodlights around his home...?

To answer your question, Ben, under capitalism everything is a scam.
Hey, we're just doing business here.
@rmcauley for sure! I follow it feverishly. Despite that I meet so many Germans abroad that dislike it :(
@slims Yeah I think you're getting bad luck! Around Berlin, Hertha fans are annoyingly present and there's hardly a surface in the city without their stickers.
Online meeting participants might not know if another attendee is using an off-platform AI notetaker, EFF’s @Thorin told AP News. “Asking everyone for consent before doing a sensitive meeting would be the most polite approach to take.”

Until an AI notetaker can reliably demonstrate the ability to discern sarcasm, hyperbole, humor, exaggeration, and about 47 other things humans do in speech and both annotate the transcript and parse the change in meaning - they're worse than useless as they can and will misrepresent reality. In my actual personal I've-seen-it-happen experience. The replacement for a recording needs to be getter not worse.
Want some reminders of how fucking terrible this idea is?

@sundogplanets The other problem is that, for this to work at all, you might need a heliostationary orbit, creating kind of a traffic jam over the poles.

Even as the Govt. wonders why people (and pension trustees) don't wan't to invest in UK firms, the Financial Conduct Authority concludes that just over 40% of all take-overs in the UK are preceded by 'suspicious trading' in the two days before announcement; given that such insider trading could also be happening before that period, the figure of 40% is most likely an underestimate.
People think the UK share market s rigged, and as this shows, indeed it is!

Par contre y'a un truc qui me fait marrer dans l'article : "C’est un précédent : les données commerciales au service du renseignement"
Ils vivent dans un trou depuis 10 ans, ou quoi ?
C'est pas comme si - par exemple - l'état du Texas avait acheté des données aux databrokers pour poursuivre en justice des femmes qui avaient visité des cliniques d'avortement.

Ha ha !
Oui, je me suis dit la même chose : « ils découvrent, ou bien ? »
Comme quoi, on part de vraiment très loin.
@relistan the clean waveform seems linear amp to me, so 12V^2/50Ohm gives 2.88W max, so actually quite good :)
@bernerd thanks. I did get it quite linear and the harmonic suppression is great. However… It’s 12.6 Vrms on the scope so 2.247W. But it’s using almost 12W to deliver that. So heat is going to be a big problem. And no one can hear me on 20m in these conditions.

Colpa mia, sono stata imprecisa.
E certo non mi vergogno di dire che sono socia di Boost Media, ma ieri dirlo sarebbe stato un autoincenso tipo "Ahooo siamo stati proprio fighi!"... 😆
In realtà, e qui lo dico senza tema di smentita: è stato un lavoro titanico di squadra, ma la parte del leone l'hanno fatta in fase preparatoria e in corso d'opera Julian, Lorenzo e Adriano a cui si è aggiunto un @mafranc magnifico sui social.

Extra Footy Trams tonight to the MCG, picking up Collingwood fans, to take them to Docklands where your team is actually playing.
It’s a big favour we’re doing you, so don’t steal the hubcaps off the trams for a change. Oh and return our DVD player while you’re at it. #YarraTrams
Vibe buying groceries.
Good rest, simple exercise, and hydration. All will help elevate your basic daily wellness.
hey @palewire just wanted to say i love @OldLAPhotos , thanks for making it for the fediverse!
⚠️ A couple of #WSocial article updates ‼️
Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. I find it amusing that I have somehow contributed to fixing two of W Social's bugs.
My article about their deceptive "engagement" metric is now updated to clarify that the issue has been fixed (after I emailed them about it):

My article about the rate limit issue that froze the network for 3000+ new users also has an interesting update:

🤭
@_elena on the native Android app in Mastodon I have almost the opposite issue: looks like there is very little engagement and once I like or boost it shows the real numbers which are greater usually.
Its great that W exists on a principle level, but this feels like they are doing what Facebook did: having fake engagement to keep the service appealing.
It could have been Europe leading software by example but it feels mostly another corpo BS app
@evanspw @decryption As Peter said, gigawatt datacenters don't actually exist.
But even if they did, the calculation is flawed because they don't actually need to use any water at all.
They need to reject the heat created by the equipment in the datacenter: Almost all of the electricity fed into a computer is radiated as waste heat, only a small fraction of it is consumed as useful work.
The cooling systems in the datacenter collect the heat, typically by running exhaust air through heat exchangers which transfer it into a fluid. Pumping the fluid elsewhere carries the heat with it, so thats how it gets out of the datacenter's technical floor area.
The fluid will end up in a plant room, where it'll need to be cooled before it returns to the technical floor area for another go (it's a closed loop)
You cool it by extracting the heat it's carrying into another fluid - say, refrigerant gas. So now you have cold working fluid and hot gas.
Finally, you need to cool the gas, because it's another closed loop and it needs to do another lap to repeat the cycle.
The highest-density way of cooling the gas is to pump it through tubes immersed in water, which heats up and evaporates into the air. That's where basically 100% water consumption comes from.
But you can also air-cool the gas, which needs no water at all.
It really depends on the design of the facility, something completely lost on the kermit-arms panic people.
@NewtonMark @evanspw so when Amazon says that the industry average water consumption is 0.84L/kWh - that's still water that has to come from somewhere that's no available for other uses, right?
