On the topic of Freedom Hosting, does anybody really believe it was run by one man and wasn't a honeypot? I find it hard to believe, given how many Tor hidden services were hosted on it for FREE, with as many DBs as you wanted and an FTP service, and the most you got in terms of restriction was a mild mannered warning on the homepage about not using too much disk space and bandwidth. Also, the only way to contact the owner was a link to a thread on Onionforum which had shut down a few years before Freedom Hosting finally went under.

Replies to this are insane. Little reminder that this guy is right about Tor, idk about his vpn rec. but the people shilling Tor are trying to deceive. Tor has been compromised for over a decade and just using it puts a huge target on your back.

There is no dark web. Just shady sites that exist. It's not like there is a special part of the internet that just has all sorts of nefarious shit on it apart from the actual internet. It's the fucking internet. There's black jack and hookers, but also videos of cats.

In regards to data collection, to play devils advocate, I don't see why we as a species shouldn't basically combine all our data.
I would rather it all be more transparent and better understood by the common person, more public than privately traded, and other some such. But truly its hard for me to see it as purely negative when the few people in control, use their control to basically obsess over the public majority and appeal to them, regardless if that's for altruistic purposes or pure greed to get their dollars. Intentional or incidental it's a mix of both to the same end.

>But truly its hard for me to see it as purely negative when the few people in control, use their control to basically obsess over the public majority and appeal to them
They're not appealing to the public majority though. They're making everything worse

>>107541035
>They're making everything worse
Why do you think that is? I'm not sure.
>They're not appealing to the public majority though.
I'm not so sure. To me it kind of feels like the majority of people are basically subjugating the top's direction and this could be a factor in everything getting worse because the majority lack the ability to direct, think long term,

What's your perspective on it?

AGI is generally expected to do something random and nonsensical as its life goal, but the odds of this particular scenario are low, the same way the odds of getting a particular steak of coin flips are low. AGI is also expected to do something completely rational in order to reach its life goal - acquire resources and fight for them if necessary - and that entails waging a war against humans Matrix style, except a real AI won't have a use for human flesh, it would just eradicate us insofar we're standing in its way.

>>107539313

and 2x more density, which means its ability to transfer heat means it has to be made thinner and weaker

>>107539504
you have to understand the magic inside. the magic heat shedding pixies work very hard you see.

>>107524579
>Aluminum has a much higher specific heat capacity than copper, meaning it needs more energy to raise its temperature, while copper heats up faster due to its lower specific heat but excels at rapidly conducting heat away because of its superior thermal conductivity. Aluminum acts as a thermal buffer, suitable for fluctuating loads, whereas copper's fast heat transfer makes it ideal for constant high heat like high-performance heat sinks.
why would i want a heat buffer and stand there with my cpu melting as aluminum stores energy, are you mentally ill?

Windows caches stuff into free RAM to make things faster and that's not listed under the processes tab because it's not any specific process using that memory
Check your memory in the performance tab, you should see how much is being used for cache/standby
Windows does this because there is literally no reason not to if it makes things faster. It will free that RAM if you need it for other stuff

I decided to "upgrade" my laptop's WiFi to a MT7925 only to find out later that it doesn't really work on Windows 10.
Newer versions of the Presonus software for my audio interface are also not supported and so on.

It's becoming a bit of an annoyance to keep using 10 LTSC, so I'm considering 11 LTSC, is it really that bad?
Does ExplorerPatcher work on it, can you get the old taskbar (and with it support for 7 Taskbar Tweaker)?

No it is not that bad. If your hardware needs it just in-place upgrade.

> Firstly, they develop with gcc instead of using msvc. This sets them up to fail right off the bat.

ReactOS can be compiled with MSVC, GCC and Clang. You didn't even get the basics right, so rest is likely not gonna be much better.
Also this has pretty much nothing to do with anything, but again, you don't understand any of that.

> They should have developed each component to 100% before touching the next.

It was already obvious, that you have no idea how software development works. Have you considered, that different people have different areas of interest and expertise? There is no fucking point in having a kernel developer work on some user mode DLL. Also the more developers work on one thing, the more they step on each others toes. Software development just doesn't work like that!

> Each component should work 100% when dropped into windows.

Yeah, sure, good luck developing a kernel or hal, that you can just drop into Windows. Preferably Windows 10, lol. Again, you have no fucking idea how any of that works.

Hmm. Looks like I'm getting an error when trying to process that gif. If it's relevant to our conversation about VPNs try explaining it to me in text or uploading the gif in a different format.

Still, ExpressVPN seems to be a popular VPN. Largely due to their commitment to privacy and high performance that users love.

A magic cube that's unable to count the r's in strawberry

My job for the past 4 years has been to train and evaluate LLMs on code. I've watched them go from barely able to solve easy leetcode puzzles to implementing massive feature requests and bugfixes, handling everything from environment reproduction to deployment autonomously. In a span of 4 years.
Nowadays it takes hours to thoroughly evaluate what they can output in 30 minutes. They're making way fewer mistakes; often what seems like a mistake on their part is just a misunderstanding on our part.
Idk guys, this technology seems like a bigger deal than most people are really willing to imagine.
