Spending more money now to cancel the contract so Americans pay more money for electricity later.

No. I just watched it.

At Blackhat, OpenAI gave a presentation about their Artifactory exploits and Huggingface attack. Supposedly, besides launching unrequested attacks on external systems (and not getting stopped by OpenAI’s security) the agents involved were causing disruptions within their internal systems. Exactly what you want to invite onto your own network.

It would be nice if these mesh projects worked together. There are at least three major incompatible LoRa mesh ecosystems. I think only Reticulum has both LoRa and Bluetooth, but Reticulum is possibly the least mature, and it’s even more obscure than Meshtastic. A few phones with Reticulum over LoRa could relay messages from Reticulum over Bluetooth phones over a longer distance, and potentially reach the internet from some distant location.

Columba looks like the app you’d want. I’ve never used it.

This is the real reason Google is locking down Android. Either this was always the goal, or they are aware of this consequence and think it’s a good thing.

If everyone had a degree of AI literacy we’d already be out of the AI bubble.

The explosion was long enough after the earthquake to be a surprise. There were more people in and around the mall.

How long until an American AI company takes credit for it?

“My product is so dangerous that it caused me to unknowingly commit three times as many crimes as you did with your product.” Great marketing strategy. The same marketing strategy that got their product shut down for weeks.

They say it might not be good for authors. It definitely won’t be good for readers.

Here’s the link to definitely stay away from: https://github.com/permissionlesstech/bitchat-android

No, it’s totally the “rogue AI’s” fault. The company that owns the hardware and the software and directed it to do whatever it was supposed to do and didn’t stop it from doing what it actually did are completely innocent. Also, look how great Ai is. It can commit cyber crime for you all by itself. Why don’t you give more money to AI?

Unless the government has some special fund strategy where the money Nintendo paid in tariffs only went to the billionaires or the wars and the money refunded to Nintendo came from only infrastructure and social programs, it was only paid once. The first time, it was paid to the federal government via Nintendo. The second time, Nintendo was paid from the federal government’s money. Either consumers didn’t pay the first time because the federal government’s money is their money, or they didn’t pay the second time because the federal government’s money isn’t their money.

That doesn’t make it right that Americans keep having to pay tariffs on everything. This is just an inefficient and illegal way to raise taxes.

The modern US technology business model:

1. Take out massive loans.
2. Sell at a loss.
3. Control the market.
4. Lock out competition through legislation or unfair business practices.
5. Raise prices as high as the market will bear.

If they fail at step 3 because people are downloading models from China, they’ll never make it to 5 and the US economy will collapse.

As opposed to the American model where you pay more for a model that is comparable in capabilities but clumsily limited by the hosting company for safety or security (who’s?). Even though you’re overpaying, that’s also a trap to get you dependent on their cloud services so they can extract maximum shareholder value from you.

Who is downloading these? I thought I would try out the new GLM before it becomes illegal, but these new models require 256GB RAM to run even the scaled down versions. I thought my PC I bought just before hardware prices went crazy was excessive but it only has 128GB. You’re looking at spending over 5000 dollars on a PC that can just barely fit one AI model and only until they make new ones that need 384GB.

Everybody should have closed all the oil routes a year or two ago. The environment would be in much better shape.

MagicDNS works the same as in regular Tailscale. It creates DNS names that are visible to devices connected to the VPN.

On my coax network, which is also completely isolated from any TV or internet signals, I was not getting the advertised 2.5gbps and I was getting about 4ms of latency, and they would very occasionally disconnect. I don’t know if that’s typical or if my MoCA adapters were bad.

Even if they’re all working perfectly, unlike on switched networks like Ethernet, the signal between device A and device B also uses bandwidth on the connection to device C. I don’t know if there’s some trick with different channels to lessen this effect, but there’s no switch in your MoCA network and all cables will carry all data destined for any endpoint at the same time.

I ended up replacing the most heavily used MoCA link with essentially this exact setup, including replacing the included 1gbps modules with 10gbps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2FbzCyiNr4 Besides being over 4x faster, I don’t need to deal with ensuring that latency sensitive wireless devices are connecting to the access point on the same side of the MoCA link as the other device.

It’s more complicated than that. At this point, a Dell/Alienware branded monitor with an LG panel is preferable over an LG branded monitor with an LG panel. Even if Dell doesn’t make any panels, the parts they do contribute and their quality standards can make their monitors better quality than other brands that do make their own panels. I think it’s the same with Apple. They don’t make panels either but their monitors are generally regarded as high quality, if overpriced.
