It looks like someone is relaying spam through gob.mx and gob.ve mail servers. That's... kinda bad.

Thankfully if you abort the backup, it leaves a checkpoint whose blocks the next backup can use, but the checkpoint itself will get dropped on the next purge, and any blocks only referenced by it will be gone.

Also, data from /proc compresses pretty well, so it only took an additional ~60GB of disk space, not a full 3TB.

it's especially funny/sobworthy that looking up the current time in various locations has worked perfectly well on google for years, because someone took the time to design, code and test a useful feature. but that's not Number Go Up enough so now we have the all-knowing video card that says 7:14 pm

China is carrying out the solar revolution at scale. Here panels float on a reservoir in northwest China. This is just one of many massive solar power plants. The photos look like something out of science fiction:

Meanwhile Trump is fighting solar and pushing coal. The Chinese call him 建国同志, "Comrade Jianguo". Literally this means "Comrade Building the Nation". It's a joke about "Make America Great Again". It hints that Trump is actually helping China.

Microsoft president Brad Smith acknowledged that the four rounds of layoffs this year are more about using the money saved to fund AI data centers and GPUs than workers being replaced by AI.

I think this is important for the media to get right versus making it seem like ChatGPT can replace a human worker.

Media outlets can't pivot to AI to save themselves. It's not a business strategy and it's not going to work. The only path forward is for journalists to lean into their humanity, to do things AI can't, and to make clear they are writing for people, not algorithms:

The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work

AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

@evacide @molly0xfff Do they know what "fiat" means?

No. The answer is no, of course. But it still boggles the mind to read this kind of statement.

@jens
For a very short moment, I thought he meant the car maker Fiat, part of Stellantis, the 4th biggest carmaker in the world; and NOT fiat currency, which you can actually buy stuff with in shops.

Show threadJens FinkhäuserJul 8

@arniepix Yeah, I had the same thought.

What I meant was: any currency is fiat if someone powerful enough declares it to be. That is literally what "fiat" means. If Musk declares Bitcoin the official currency - even if only within his sphere of influence - it is fiat currency.

The sentence only makes sense if he *doesn't* do that, but the tweet seems to say he would. So it's word vomit.

@molly0xfff "why do they call it 'fiat' and could that offer clues for the future of currency?"

@ranvel @molly0xfff hard to tell when it is an honest question or sarcasm.
It is Latin.
Fiat Lux = let there be light
Fiat Currency = let there be currency.
The Techno Bros say Fiat Currency and mean that a Government says "let there be currency".
I used to like cryptocurrencies but not in comptition with Fiat currency but rather compared with credit cards and on line transactions.

@utf_7 @molly0xfff The Fiat 500e charges with 85 keV at most which is horrendous to be honest. They could have cooked. It's a city car which means people might not be able to set it to charge overnight. With it's tiny battery there was a real option to make it something that fully recharged super quick.

Federally issued money backed by gold and/or silver existed in between. That's what they want to go back to. Money backed by something they can't grasp is also only worth whatever people think it's worth.

@firpo1618 @molly0xfff bitcoin today isn't even a currency at all. Trump and his crypto advisers are obviously working towards making the US government accept bitcoin for payment of taxes (among other things), which will make it effectively a fiat currency.
