The way money-laundering works, you take ill-begotten funds and somehow churn it into legal tender in ways that can’t be traced back to the source. Another angle is to create corporate entities that show loss against gains, so you can deduct and don’t have to pay taxes on your windfall profits.

In the olden days, these were physical, degrading assets. Like strip malls, real-eestate, and dodgy, money-losing businesses that somehow stuck around forever. At the end, you were stuck with physical entities you couldn’t unload.

Crypto and NFT were just digital variations of the same financial model, minus the hassle of having to manage the property.

Go big or go home. Burkas.

Minimum 15 years of experience.

It’s for left-handed people.

There’s no allowing for Unspecial Soundness.

Or where most fun knowledge resides: Unspecial Unsoundness.

Hate to be that guy, but… AI sloppity slop 😔

Do photos of ancestors qualify?

Hard to provide residence address. They tended to move around a lot.

Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

Non-story. He let Terraform zap his production site without offsite backups. But then support restored it all back.

I’d be more alarmed that a ‘destroy’ command is reversible.

The math adds up. If you take out all the whiners, you get left with a large cohort of sunny optimists.

Public articles like this will likely be used to train future models, and end up crushing their self-confidence.

You do you, little LLM. Here, have a cookie.

There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.

It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

‘Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall… and give me some nibbles.’

Ah, pregnancy… when internal organs migrate to the arms.

Obligatory Firefly mention.

Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

How many of these are SmallSats and CubeSats?

There are high schools and colleges lobbing these into space.

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.
