There’s some dots on the map in places where I know for sure that there’s no data center. I think people have submitted addresses of some tech company headquarters for example.

Most new builds by the larger companies are pretty big though, even if they’re not dedicated to AI.

The site explicitly mentions “AI data centers”, but how do you differentiate AI data centers from… non-AI data centers I guess?

I understand the anti-AI sentiment and environmental issues, etc. but I also think a lot of non-technical people don’t realise that literally everything they do online uses a data center.

Makes sense.

People that invest into Nasdaq 100 are already accepting higher risks though. I’ve got some QQQM but it’s a pretty small part of my portfolio.

Embarrassing? I’d want to keep that plate forever lol

It’s pretty common for stock to drop after IPO. This is just a bigger drop than usual.

I’m glad S&P didn’t give in to SpaceX’s demand to add them to the S&P 500.

If you’re going to all that effort, why not just use something that’s powered by OpenStreetMap like OsmAnd?

That fear of the company letting you go for anything at any time…with a union they just can’t do that

They also can’t do that in countries with workers rights. This should be a standard right, not something that requires the workers to unionize.

Edit: I understand that unions make it easier to enforce.

What if I like my workplace being ionized?

or where you have to pay for updates

Some people prefer paying with money over paying with personal data.

Having said that, these days the paid solutions also collect your data ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m surprised to see that WordPress still use Trac, as I didn’t realise that it’s still being updated. I haven’t seen it in the wild for a very long time. I used to use it for source control and bug tracking but that would have been maybe 15 years ago.

Nice! That’s a great idea.

The IPTV provider should provide the EPG, either as a URL or via “Xtreme Codes” (which is essentially just a base URL for an API that provides both the playlist and the EPG).

Try set up the stream directly on an IPTV app on your TV, instead of using Dispatcharr. If you have a device with Android TV (either built-in to the TV or a steaming box like the Nvidia Shield or Onn one), try Tivimate.

The IPTV apps on non-Android platforms aren’t as good. On your computer, you can try tuning in to a channel using VLC or a web UI (if your provider has one) and see if it works better.

The best IPTV providers are hidden from the public (no public website or social media presence), and you need to be invited by an existing user. Unfortunately the one I use closed signups a few years ago, otherwise I’d invite you.

And I don’t ever know if it’ll get better because you need to know why you want to build something someway.

The major issue I’m seeing with junior (and even intermediate) developers is that they trust that the AI will always do things the correct way and don’t question its approach, and they don’t develop proper debugging skills and just rely on the AI to attempt it.

To get decent quality output out of an AI model, you need to have critical thinking skills, at least basic knowledge of the overall architecture for whatever you’re trying to build, and enough knowledge to question the model when it does something wrong.

Blindly trusting AI is why so many old security issues are coming back - stored/reflected XSS, SQL injection, exposing databases directly to the internet with no password, things like that. Newer frameworks mostly got rid of them, and now AI is bringing them back. It’s a fun time for red teams at least.

Huh, interesting. I wonder why it’s so infrequently used then. Maybe people are afraid of using an AI that referred to itself as “mechahitler”.

I would have thought they’d get access to xAI’s models for very cheap.

Grok really isn’t that good, though. So few people use it that xAI are renting out most of their AI servers to both Anthropic and Google.

I do this and then realise I’m not actually an expert.

And I would be interested on how they are referbing the equipment and selling for a profit

My understanding is that an e-waste recycling company is contracted to take all the old equipment. The original company can say they’ve recycled it, record it as such, and doesn’t care what’s done with the equipment after that - whether that be reselling it, recycling it, whatever. The e-waste company is the one that handles finding the useful stuff and refurbishing it.
