  • If you shut down the computer gracefully first before you power the disks off it should be ok more often than not, but you really should try to have everything on the same system so this can all be coordinated by the OS and the hardware.

    As others have said, avoid powering the disks off before the OS has had a chance to shut down or your disks will NOT be in a recoverable state when everything comes back online.

    I’m not even sure the setup you are describing would benefit at all from a different storage method, even “regular” writes could be in memory or controller buffers. External drives are not meant to have their power cut.

    It’s not just xAI with the ability to do this to their models.

    Now, maybe access is more restricted, or maybe it’s the same and this came from the top; point I’m making is this is not an xAI problem, they’re just dumb enough to make it obvious.

    Hell, this is a problem with search engines, or cloud services.

    Why the FUCK aren’t you self hosting if you are serious? They’re running the train on you.

    That was already possible. This lets the game run natively on a modern PC, as long as you supply your legally backed up rom image of your N64 cartridge of the game.

    Also, if they trained AI on programming books which they licensed in perpetuity and free college courses and it became better than people at programming, then maybe vibe coding would be questionably good. But they didnt. In a system designed to exploit labor, they took the fruit of that labor without compensating those who deserved it (a crime that, as you elude to in your comment, is not socially acceptable), then they sold their snake oil which is NOT as good at the job it proposes to eliminate as the human worker, to a company which will pay for the privilege of exploiting that technology at the expense of the humans they will replace with it, while it does a worse job and generally makes life shitter for everyone in that entire supply chain, except for the Sam Altmans. Who, as we’ve seen in recent times, want to build tech bro kingdoms where they can exploit people further.

    The problem isn’t the neural network, it’s the exploitation.

    I never auto-delete automated crap. Mark as read and stick it in a folder outside Inbox. Leave it alone until retention policy auto-deletes it.

    They’ll know you received it either way. If they want to flood you with useless crap that you could just as easily ad-hoc if you actually needed it, make them pay to store it.

    Just don’t be like my customers who auto-bin emails that come from our fucking ticketing system, are created by a human, and are asking for specifics on their request.
