There’s a significant difference in the purpose of the scraping.

Google et al. run crawlers primarily to populate their search engines. This is a net positive for those whose sites get scraped, because when they appear in a search engine they get more traffic, more page views, more ad revenue. People view content directly from those who created it, meaning those creators (regardless of whoever they are) get full credit. Yes, Google makes money too, but site owners are not left in the cold.

ChatGPT and other LLM’s works by combing its huge database of known content its “learned” to cook up an answer through fast math magic. Content it scrapes to populate this database can be regurgitated at any time, only now its been completely processed and obfuscated to an insane degree. Any attribution of content is completely stripped in the final product, even if it ends up being a word-for-word reproduction. Everything OpenAI charges for its LLM goes directly to OpenAI, and those who have created content to train it will never even know it was used without their consent.

Essentially, LLM’s operate like a huge middle school plagiarism machine shitting all over any concept of copyright, only now they’re making billions off said plagiarism with no plans to stop. It’s a huge ethical conundrum and one I heavily disagree with.

At what size of transistor does semiconductor manufacturing become practical for independent manufacture?

Currently, only one company in the world – ASML – has the technological capability necessary for the creation of photolithography machines which are sufficient for the production of modern semiconductor devices. What I’m wondering is at what point does semiconductor manufacturing become practical, or even feesible for...

CMOS silicon logic can be chemically “printed” using photolithography and commercially available mercury lamps. From the wikipedia article, if I read between the lines those are good down to feature sizes of about 1 micron (1.0µM or 1000nm), limited of course by the accuracy of your wafer setups between processes and the printing of your lithography plates. this is the process used to produce the Intel 80486 which fit 1 million transistors on a chip. seems that laser lithography using KrF lasers can be good down to much smaller but your litho plates become the limiting factor.

so, conservatively- 1µm features would be attainable for a sort of “home brew” startup with little to no venture funding but the correct industrial knowledge. with more funding though i’d guess older laser lithography machines would be attainable on the used market and potentially usable down to 0.4µm or smaller.

Just reinstall it via Microsoft official iso maker. Anything newer than Windows 8 will attach license keys to the hardware (motherboard) and it usually picks the activation right back up.

If not use the msguides.com kms method.

No telegram is garbage

empireOfLove,

Ah fuck. Hazbin Hotel is being produced by A24.

Guess we can kiss that quality goodbye.

empireOfLove,

The only constant is that the civilians lose no matter who’s doing the fucking. Fuck off.

empireOfLove,

He just like me fr fr

$200 fine for TRYING to touch the wires. If they catch you.

IF you do make it all the way to the wires, it’s a self-solving problem.

empireOfLove,

Socket erroe? Sound more like your specific VPN is broken and not a soulseek problem. Fix the VPN, change providers, whatever.

empireOfLove,

This just in- being able to hurt your enemy from farther away than they can hurt you conveys a large tactical advantage. More at 11.

empireOfLove,

!privacyguides is also a good resource, it’s the technical successor to privacy guides on Reddit.

empireOfLove,

You not responding because you don’t actually have any logical arguments lmaoooooo

Get better material, this trolling is lower effort than I’ve ever seen

empireOfLove,

Dang someone’s sure mad that people have a different world view about despots that killed 80m of their own citizens out of sheer incompetence

Also, mind you, I am about as liberal as they come in America and I love my guns.

empireOfLove,

it’s not propaganda to objectively state “this guy killed 80m of his own citizens through incompetence”

bad tankie troll is bad. maybe stick to your hexbear main acc dude

empireOfLove,

Soooo completely misunderstand my country’s existing economy and ecology, make a bunch of boneheaded decisions, then proceed to murder tens of millions with my dictatorship in the name of “modernization” while creating one of the most oppressive, least politically free governments in human history?

…I’ll pass, thanks.

empireOfLove,

They’ve always been doing it, they’re just gonna stop hiding it now.

What are you supposed to do if you download the wrong torrent?

A few days ago I download a movie but the movie was in another language and I’m definitely not going to watch it because of that, I still completed the 1:1 ratio because at the end of the day I downloaded the file and used other people’s bandwidth, but what is one supposed to do in this situation?...

empireOfLove,

Unless you are on a private tracker that have seed ratio requirements, there is zero obligation to hold onto a torrent until you have a 1:1 ratio. Its only a recommendation, and very much an “Honor Among Thieves” situation.
Feel free to delete the wrong torrent and re-download the right one. If you feel bad about it, keep the right one until a 2:1 ratio so you maintain balance in the world. :)

empireOfLove,

They still happily exist on YouTube- for now. So no point in re-hosting, they’ll get squirreled away into the Giant Hard Drive of Doom.

If something happens to the actual archive project in the near future, I’ll likely section them up into 20gb pieces and post them out on a torrent someplace.

empireOfLove,

Nah. IA doesn’t need to deal with this volume of shit and they already have enough of a hard time dealing with copyright trolls.

If this channel is impacted in the future, I’ll probably put out a few torrents with the videos and post them here.

empireOfLove,

Me too. There’s a couple channels I’ve downloaded in their entirety, but they’re nothing like the size of this one.

Continuous operation of a general purpose relay?

Hello, I have a circuit that will need to return connected hardware to a default state if power is lost. The hardware can handle continuous voltage, so I’m thinking a simple solution would be to use a battery to provide that fallback power source. To avoid draining the battery, I’d like to connect it through a relay on the...

empireOfLove, (edited )

note that if you do have issues with the voltage fluctuating when the relay switches, you can often connect a ceramic capacitor across the coil contacts of ~1uF along with a small diode acting as a flyback connected in reverse polarity, and it’s enough to smooth out a good bit of that draw and/or switch-off flux pulse. Filtering saves lives

empireOfLove,

the switching current refers to the amperage across the terminals other than the coil

Yes. “Switching current” is the load current being controlled across the main contacts. I figured you were well within specs, I was just clarifying what typically limits relay duty cycle other than the coil.

Is there a rule of thumb for the minimum current I should allow across the coil?

Stick to the rated coil voltage in the datasheet or below and you’ll be fine. They set the coil resistance to be within the safe current zone per V=IR at rated control voltage.

Many relays can reliably switch well underneath their rated control voltage depending on their design- there’s a lot of safety factor built in. I’ve had some 12v automotive relays switch successfully at around 5v (by accident, lol). Experiment a bit and you may be able to cut down on waste power

Just be aware that control voltage (coil) and rated switching voltage (load) is often different, since many relays use low control voltages to switch high voltage loads. Don’t confuse the two!

empireOfLove,

Unless otherwise specified at certain loads, relay duty cycles are always 100%.

Most relay duty cycles are in relation to switching currents, not the coil operation. There is always a slight resistance between dissimilar contacts, and carrying current across the contacts creates heat, so they have a max rated current for continuous use. They can often exceed this, but only for short periods before needing a duty cycle cooldown.

When the relay switches high near-max currents, especially in DC, it generates a large arc across the contacts. This makes them heat up. This limits the actuation frequency because too many arcs at max/overcurrent will overheat the contacts and could cause them to fuse together.

But the coil itself is designed such that it will never overheat on it’s own just from the trigger voltage. Granted it’ll waste a lot of power to resistive heating that is undesirable if your goal is power efficiency, but it will be perfectly OK.
