Amazing how many headlines parrot the corporate framing that Meta's new Hyperion data center would "deliver gigawatts of power" -
"AI data center ... will deliver five gigawatts of computational power to fuel the company's new AI" ❌
"[data center will] supply its new AI lab with five gigawatts of computational power" ❌
No. NO. Don't do that. Hyperion will *consume* 5GW of power, including three NEW new gas-turbine power plants, in order to run giant toxic content sludge generators. 💩 ✔
For many people, the #Linux vs #Windows vs #Mac debate is a privilege — it assumes you can choose. But working with the Computer Upcycle Project, I've seen the real choice is often Linux vs no computer at all.
~95% of donated computers are "too old" for Windows 11 or macOS. Linux installs on them anyway, adding 10+ years of life to machines #Microsoft and #Apple called trash.
This isn't Linux vs Windows. It's Linux vs e-waste.
Physical security and cryptography can learn from each other, part 11367:
Hotels wisely don't put the room number on guest keycards so if someone finds your card, they'd have to exhaustively search the hotel to find the room it opens.
Some hotels now have elevators programmed to only let you call the floor for which your keycard is coded, preventing guests from wandering to other floors.
But it also means the elevator can be used as an efficient oracle to determine the floor of a found key.
