Who the fuck is that
This dude has turned into a walking corpse in less than 2 years

I'm trying to recover data from a Windows 98 PC, and I would like to back up the hard drive (which appears to be failing). I can still read data intermittently, and it sounds like it keeps doing repetitive seeking before it gives me data read errors and general drive read failures. The computer doesn't even detect the drive half the time, and it won't boot from that drive at all.

I would like to try and boot from a Linux recovery distro and see what I can do, namely clone the failing drive before doing anything else, but the optical drive doesn't appear to be plug-and-play (I can't boot off of it because the optical drive only works after drivers are already loaded), and I couldn't get a USB stick to work, so it seems like the only option left is to boot from a 1.44MB floppy disk and get the computer to clone the hard drive itself. I've added another drive, and that one works flawlessly, so it seems only the master drive is bad.

It's actually harder to get a straight answer on which linux distros you can boot from a floppy disk than I would've thought. It doesn't even matter if it has to be an old version, people are saying the wrong version number is capable of doing so (like with RIPLinuX, so I don't know which ridiculous version to use), and I'd prefer one centered on data recovery anyway.

It's a "Proteva Pro Series" PC, I guess. (Not pictured.) It doesn't sound very distinct, but apparently they thought it was distinct enough to brand it that way.

you could boot into an ms-dos environment too using a boot disk then use clonezilla by launching it from a disc if there is a setup script that will execute from that shell provided by booting from floppy. since the computer doesn't boot from CD, there's things like IDE to USB converters which can be used to plug the win98 drive into the other computer.

Honestly, the past few months I haven't been getting a lot of responses back from all the job applications I put in. This all started changing with one simple rule -- Simply ignore everyone with an Indian first or last name. After doing this not even a week passed and someone responded and got me to round 2 with the hiring manager, now just waiting to hear back. Not even a recruiter but someone from the company directly. Pretty much anyone I talk to ends up being white for some reason.

A few days ago, something really interesting happened: For the first time, an AI generated a mathematical proof that was not yet known: https://www.erdosproblems.com/728

In most cases where this has happened, it was later discovered that a solution already existed in the literature, but this problem had been formulated incorrectly and was only corrected a few months ago, which means there was no prior literature on it.

Sometimes of you say that AI will be limited by "not being able to create new things," but I think this case shows that it's not quite like that at all, and that most people are still underestimating AIs.

>>107837583
Humans and animals have the ability generate knowledge on their own from interacting with the world, and from the physical structure of their being. Like math, which exists in animals that don't even have the ability to acquire knowledge in any other way. In other words, humans and animals have intelligence.

AI does not generate knowledge on its own and cannot do so, only copying things that other people have written down. As it is unable to naturally generate knowledge, it does not even know these things that it copies, as even copying requires genesis of knowledge. In other words, it does not have intelligence.

Looks like it was still building on prior literature.
If the problem really was corrected only a few months ago, Pomerance may have gotten the solution back in 2017.

>>Low energy density doesn't matter in grid and home applications.
Most batteries are not used in grid or home applications: you plug shit into a socket.
Energy density matters for portable devices which is where lithium batteries are used. Even for example a cordless drill that's mostly used "at home" still needs reasonable energy density because nobody will lug around a 1kg battery on their "handheld drill". Electrical devices are either mains-powered or need to be portable and therefore have dense batteries.

Maybe the only exception is literal grid energy storage but they already use shit like gravity batteries on hydroelectric dams, which have infinity cycles and are better, cheaper, simpler and more durable than any chemical battery at that scale.

>>107833854
Obviously I don't mean cordless drills when I say grid and home applications. Everything you said about energy density on handhelds is true, I agree. You need high density batteries to make these things worthwhile. I still remember nicad makitas; feels bad man.
You slap some solar on a roof, and hook up a stack of nickel irons in a shed and you can relatively cheaply and sustainably get a week of emergency power or stack more and you become the grid selling watts to your neighbors at peak hours.
In the same way that lithium density made handhelds viable, cheap on site storage makes solar viable.
