Despite the low quality of the writing, it never seems to get put down. One has to wonder.
Oh that was a nightmare. And you didn’t even know if the new ones you were getting were actually better.

Yes, could be AI. Would like a source ideally before sharing possible slop with real humans.
I don't get it.
It saves no energy. In fact, it costs more energy at first, but the hope is that bots will turn their attention to something that isn't so expensive as hitting your servers. The main goal is to get your service online so that you're not burning all your own resources on fake users.
Your understanding is consistent with mine. It spends a small amount of effort (per user) that makes scaling too expensive (per bot-farm-entity). It also uses an adjustable difficulty that can vary depending on how sus a request appears to be.
It's not a perfect solution by any means. It doesn't protect user data. It doesn't do anything to help with the energy problem. It merely makes it possible for someone to run their server without getting taken offline by automated systems.
You can’t play those games when your CPU burns out for defective manufacturing.
It works by asking your system for a small computation before handling the request. It’s not too intrusive for normal users, but it drives up the costs for bot farms.
His constituents seem to like the way he fucks them over.
This is a bad idea. It enables the shutdown to keep running.
Oooh good point. The problem might just go away on its own anyway. It would’ve sucked to have not bought that yacht in the meantime.
I opened it up, and it turns out the speaker was measuring full open when the printed text on the component suggests 8 Ohms. I had an old Bluetooth speaker that never worked very well and tore out the similar 10 Ohm speaker that isn't quite the right part but it's kind of close, soldered her in, and it works like a charm! Sort of.
Turns out though that the old speaker is glued in so well that I can't get it out. I had to make a hole to let the speaker hang out of the case because otherwise I couldn't get the cover back on. In the process, the antenna cover wouldn't go back in either because I damaged it drilling the hole.
It's much quieter now and with poor sound quality. I wouldn't risk using it portable either. It technically works -- just not very well. I figured this community might appreciate my lame repair.
I think the idea is to have a small government of one dictator who tells everyone else what to do.
