its impossible in closed source. there is no reason to believe it does what it says it does. only private keys in the chain need to remain secret.

unfortunately this has become typical in Britain, no one can be trusted to have any responsibility or agency. its all systems with room for the real world


>its all systems with room for the real world

The vision that it evokes is terrifying!


i did that, and really wish i bought something , mostly because i have like 4 hhds just lying in the bottom of the case


My old case was a big workstation one with 10 drive bays already. Definitely preferable to having them loose


I bought a plastic tower for disks which let's me have 10 disks with some space between them. I then bought some Artic fans and attached them with tape to the 'tower'. Then I used a 11 years old optiplex 990 as Debian zfs connected to 8 of the disks, and I have 2 spares which I'll be able to use when the others die.

Performance is great. I could do it because I was given those disks for free, with plenty of ours on each of them.


Several hardware generations back, my old 4x160GB raid5 had two drives on the bottom of the case, held on by screws going through holes I drilled in the outer wall of the case.

These days I managed to snag a deal on a Supermicro 846. I'm still settling into it, the main thing that concerns me is being able to suck enough air through the drive bays without making a lot of noise. My previous incarnation used some iStar toolless drive bays. I've learned to appreciate hot-swap bays, mainly for only having to do the cabling once.


they have been very clear they don't want to be the ones deciding


Who is in the best position and has the necessary knowledge to make this kind of evaluation?

Who is trying to define what is "too dangerous" or "not too dangerous"?


Dario directly mentions the US gov collaborating with China on this… and they are the only two countries seriously working on AI so it’s a good starting point. Could fold in the EU or anyone else over time.


the EU has been creating testing frameworks, and the UK

much as governments have tended to be slow in tech, they actually seem to be making some solid work on this front

tech companies like Anthropic should be collaborating with these programs


is it so hard to fathom that China whilst wanting to beat the US in many ways doesn't want a biological war to destroy the world?


it's very simpler, i recently got an android tablet for my child and it would take a lot of effort to miss all the stuff about setting it up for a child


if parents wont make the slightest bit of effort why should the rest of us pay to keep their children safe?


Because children shouldn't be the ones paying for the crime of having bad parents. Children should be safe regardless of what the parents do, because they're independent people and not property.


you can say that about a lot of things, but we do largely trust parents. but all these social media bans seem to stem from parents who claim to be helpless, when really they are lazy and the wider impact of these laws is massive. no technical way exists to do this without taking the privacy of everyone


A bit of empathy goes a long way. That child may be your nurse one day, taking care either of you or candy crush.


especially disappointing as there is valet parking at Gatwick that works exactly like that


its crazy its taken Java so long to realise this


its not the source though is it? its not like it's downloaded via the hdmi cable, it comes from Microsoft that offer the service of installing crap


now explain to the class who uploaded it to Windows Update service
