Is his personal-information on the dark-web?
Is he saying that if his personal-information is on the dark-web, then it’s perfectly-OK for everybody & their robot to be using it??
XOR is he saying that there are 2 kinds of law:
1 for protecting his entitlement,
the other for disallowing rights from the lives he consumes, through his beloved herd/corporation/pseudo-person?
( obviously, he’s already answered the latter )
Computational-Fluid-Dynamics simulations are RAM-limited, iirc.
I’m presuming many AI models are, too, since some of them require stupendous amounts of RAM, which no non-server machine would have.
“diminishing returns” is what Intel’s “beloved” Celeron garbage was pushing.
When I ran Memtest86+ ( or the other version, don’t remember ), & saw how insanely slow RAM was, compared with L2 or L3 cache, & then discovered how incredible the machine-upgrade going from SATA to NVMe was…
Get the fastest NVMe & RAM you can: it puts your CPU where it should have been, all along, and that difference between a “normal” build vs an effective build is the misframing the whole industry has been establishing, for decades.

This is their DNA: it isn’t going to change, now.
Realistically, it’ll take 2 decades to hammer-out AI to the level that it’s truly-mission-trustworthy.
Right now, everybody’s “high”.
It’s the same with all technologies…
Remember a few years ago, when somegody discovered you could power things with steam?
Remember the hype?
The whole coal industry, remember that?
The business with the invention of the horseless carriages?
The invention of the wheel was before my time, but I’m sure it was hyped on Myspace or something, back in the day…
The problem is partly that the entire-framing of what a working government requires is wrong…
A political-party with a leader…
that isn’t working, never has worked for the best of any first-past-the-post country, & never will.
Just as the Indigenous peoples often had different kinds of Chiefs for different dimensions of their lives…
What the world actually requires is a system whereby the different kinds of leaders required to competently lead a country ALL get put in place.
Jugmeet Singh’s a people-person, and he could be there both for, & with, people better than anybody else I know-of in Canadian federal politics…
but he isn’t the guy who I’d put in charge of Strategy, or the person whom I’d put in charge of Implimentation, or the person I’d put in charge of Emergency Services & Military…
the right-framing would require a team, not an individual.
There’s a book “Rocket Fuel” which is on how nearly-all businesses get 1 thing wrong:
most businesses mistakenly ignore that a visioneer usually isn’t an implimenter.
Implimenter’s closer to bean-counter.
Visioneer’s closer to … lunatic.
The book Change Intelligence identifies that people-people are 1 of 3 major kinds of leaders required…
the other 2 being thinkers/visioneers, & the implimenters…
You REQUIRE all-3, or you’re not having enough traction to accomplish what you’re supposed to be doing!
The business-culture’s incompetence, however, is that it presumes that the COO of a company ( who is an implimenter ) ought be the next CEO ( which is kinda what happened to Beoing: they ended up with no engineer-visioneer, only bean-counters, & the whole religion of the company became poison… NASA did the same thing when it compromised engineering for “business” culture, with the Challenger shuttle )
The problem is that you can’t put a person whose nature fits only 1 of the required-roles, into a different required-role.
NONE of our countries bothers differentiating between the required-roles & then works to get the right person into each of those roles, none!
That is, at global scale, Darwin Award territory.
We KNOW the more complex the leadership, or management, problem, the better-quality the team required, we KNOW the structural-diversity of the team is key to having it be more-capable in different ways…
we won’t do what’s required??
( PS: never expect any political-system to tolerate required-evolution.
World-death would be preferable to political-motivation, compared with actual transformation to a different apolitical kind of system,.
Sad but true. )
Power-consumption.
Also, the vibration produced by the 2.5" drives is less, but they’re more-sensitive to it, to begin with.
I’d not even consider spinning-platter drives, nowadays, though:
SATA SSD’s for a NAS strike me as being the sanest choice.
Samsung what are those called, Evo drives?
excellently-high MTBF, ultra-short ( compared with rotating-platters ) seek-time ( literally orders-of-magnitude quicker ), etc.
I don’t know of ANY reason to go with spinning-platters, nowadays.
( & I’m saying that as a guy stupid-enough to have not realized this in time, & who spent money on such a thing, when SSD’s really were the answer )
My experience is that USB storage sometimes breaks-connection for no discernable reason.
That if one REALLY wants to do USB storage, then put it inside the housing, and don’t use one of the external-connectors, use something you can permanently-fix, so nothing can even sneeze in its direction.
This mayn’t help you with your puzzle, but it’s bedrock and unchangeable, in my experience.
USB-storage is an unreliable joke.
ANY revision of it, that I’ve tried.
hth…
No: once a corporate-culture gets sufficiently divorced-from-reality, then they “have their heads up their asses” sooo far, that they commit blunders unless they “get a reality-check”.
Committee-culture’s fungus-minded.
The problem is that the frame-of-reference is relative, so a corporate-culture which is still immersed in outer-customers’ reality is only one “degree” divorced-from-reality.
However, if the “frame-of-reference” of a culture is other sociopathic cultures, … then … then outright psychopathy becomes recommended/pushed/evolved, in order to compete among the misperceived-context ( which is only other-sociopathies ).
So, it’s an escalating positive-feedback-loop.
Sociopathy breeds sociopathy, & when enough of the corporate-frame-of-reference is sociopathy, then psychopathy becomes primary, & eventually it is normal & ruling.
The increasing polarization in political-sphere, in religion/fundamentalism-sphere, in moneyarchy-sphere, in legalism’s increasingly shameless contempt-for & eradication-of moral/natural law, the increasing polarization of class-system/monarchy among those in-love with that, the bolder & bolder violent authoritarianism…
it’s all part of the SAME gorgon/hydra, just that each “serpent” is going in its own direction, but the fundamental change in human-unconscious is one of “fuck considered-reasoning: I’m going with ideology-enforcing!!”…
it’s less intellectually-taxing to be ideological/prejudiced “believer” than it is to remain loyal to considered-reasoning…
there’s less moral-anxiety within ideology/prejudice/belief than there is in considered-reasoning…
Overwork unplugs one from the push/pull cycle, the work-hard/rest-deeply cycle, which considered-reasoning requires…
& Microsoft is only 1 single example of progressing-through-sociopathy-into-psychopathy among our countless corporate world-possessors.
DarkHexad dimensions of human-evil:
Narcissism / Machiavellianism / Sociopathy-Psychopathy / Nihilism / Sadism / Systemic-Dishonesty.
Can you see how the more one immerses oneself in DarkHexad as a means of “winning”, the more one’s frame-of-reference normalizes that all?
It’s just “drift”, but in frame-of-reference, is all…

The problem isn’t “making the majority of it noise”,
the problem is tossing-out the actual-noise, & compressing only the signal.
Without knowing what the actual-signal is, & just trying to send all-the-noise-and-signal, they’re creating their problem, requiring 200x compression, through wrongly-framing the question.
What they need to actually do, is to get a chip in before transmitting, which does the simplification/filtering.
That is the right problem.
That requires some immense understanding of the signal+noise that they’re trying to work on, though, and it may require much more processing-power than they’re committed to permitting on that side of the link.
shrug
Universe can’t care about one’s feelings: making-believing that reality is other than it actually-is may, with politial-stampeding, dent reality some, temporarily, but correction is implacable.
In this case, there’s nothing they can do to escape the facts.
EITHER they eradicate enough of the noise before transmission,
XOR they transmit the noise, & hit an impossible compression problem.
Tough cookies.

IF anybody has the resources to do this…
in Canada, when the state won’t prosecute criminality,
THEN individuals can hire lawyers to be the prosecutors.
Some criminals have the ( unofficial, of course ) protection of the authorities.
Unless some independent(s) pay lawyers ( who usually work as defense lawyers ) to be the prosecutors, … well … then “justice” can rot, is Canada’s actual position.
I found out that if the authorities won’t prosecute criminality, & you haven’t the resources to hire lawyers to prosecute, then … the criminality is actually protected by establishment.
( this kind of establishment-centric “establishment itself is the LAW” religion is visible in all political-systems, btw, it isn’t created by our system being Canadian, or generally centerist or moneyarchist … Isaiah railed against this a couple millenia ago, in the Abrahamic-religions bible, & Arjuna, in the Bhagavad Gita had to pit his life against his own family.
Rot/decay is normal.
The impersonality & correct-systems & objectivity-oriented-continuous-corrections required to counter this fundamental animal-instinct are not in-place, anywhere.
Nobody’s got the spine to enforce that integrity displace political-muscle-dominion.
So, it’ll continue ruling our … fate.
It may end up being our species’ epitaph, late this century.
shrug )
IF you want to create accountability among such arrogent tech executives,
THEN you need to enforce accountability, and 1 excellent way of doing it, would be to immediately, & permanently, ban the CEO of that company from having any right to any in-country right to purchase anything.
Force THEM to be subject to the abuse they enforce on “their inferiors”, and … oh, suddenly their motivations appear from “nowhere”??
Enforced-accountability against executives & oligarchs needs to be automatic, not “politically impossible, because they’re the privileged ones, with real rights”, the way our current dogshit for-profit manufactured “culture” insists.

USB-storage isn’t reliable.
Period.
ANY fscking thing that bumps any connection, can break the dam link.
Then your kernel can re-label the device when it re-connects,
and you’ve got to reassemble your RAID.
just my experience.
use ANY other method you can, other than USB.
stick a SATA adaptor on there somewhere, if you can.
Get a different motherboard.
ANYthing, but not USB.
I read that Scarlett’s family & friends couldn’t tell it apart from her actual voice.
I’d say that “Open AI” or whatever they’re called, trained it specifically on only her voice.
The seems-narcissistic-machiavellian-sociopath-CEO whats-his-face tried to get her to agree to this,
she wouldn’t agree,
he tweeted “her” when releasing the update ( after Scarlett’s movie )
she lawyered up,
he backed down…
I’d say it’s a clear case of identity-theft-for-profit of a celebrity, by a consistently narcissistic-machiavellian-sociopath who’s kinda leaving lots of corpses of “integrity” all over the place.
There’s some law which protects celebrities from use of their likeness, and rightly:
it’s their “coin” that their career is made-of, right?

Literally all you have to do, is give each police-cruiser 3 specific drones, that can:
target the vehicle being chased, & then EMP-kill that vehicle ( an electromagnetic pulse “bomb”, which blows the vehicle’s circuitry: it’d need a huge capacitor, & an inductor. The drone would be destroyed if it were near, so it’d need to be a disposable thing, not the chase-drone, which would need AI
track fleeing individuals, using biometrics ( gait, limb-geometry, iris-scan in a swoop, etc ), to get as much identifying information on 'em as possible, & keep identifying where they are, until their tracking is lost. This should have the ability to identify wireless/cellphone/BT signals, so as to identify if somebody is the same person as who entered a building a few minutes ago, and having other drones to cover the other exits, sharing information, would be intelligent/wise
get to a crash-site, & show the EMT’s what need is there, so they can be preparing before they get to the site, for that specific set-of-injuries
etc.
Once someone’s caught committing a crime, then all pretence of “you have no right to track me” can eat hot lead ( gaslighting needs to die ).
There is a category difference between full-on big-brother piling onto someone caught committing a crime, vs the evil panopticon/universal-molesting/no-privacy-whatsoever world that some big corporations ( some private, some gov’t ) are pushing.
Use appropriate leverage, for the context, & prevent exploiters/supremacists from exercising such leverage on entire-populations, for sake of ( what remains of ) civil-rights.
Downvote this to hell, now, obviously…
When a handful of monopolies decide that no factchecking will be seen by anybody, anymore,
and only profitable-to-their-dictatorship disinformation will be seen,
then humanity will not have any means of countering that:
it will be too late.
We are “the frog dropped into the slowly-heating pot of water”.
People pretend that monopoly is “maybe” harmful, economically, but it is an existential-threat to countries, and with globalization, now to civil-rights as a valid-category.

Whether it’s source is open or not,

By definition evidence-based-medicine is supposed to be evidence, not belief, based.
Criminalize all authority-based medicine gaslighting about being evidence-based medicine,
criminalize ideology-contradicting-evidence based “medicine” being state-backed.
