For example.

The big difference is that China hoovers up a lot of information from cheap security cams and online appliances in the West, and I'm fairly sure the West doesn't do that to China.

As far as media management, PR, propaganda, whatever, I don't see a lot of difference between the regimes. The West profiles its own citizens for both commercial and political ends, and so does China.

The US doesn't want a state propaganda outfit monopolising "entertaintment" access to its under-35s? Fine. Whatever.

Meanwhile Russia hasn't had a problem buying the GOP and on-siding tech oligarchs in the US, and TikTok is a footnote compared to that.
It was less tech and more the worry about kidnapping and antisocial behaviour.

As people became "less local" as in, you didn't know the people in your street, it meant that unaccompanied kids could be more of a shit without their parent's finding out.

More old people getting or feeling threatened meant that something must be done. ASBOs were one thing, but also the feat that your kids might be mixed up in that sort of stuff, meant that free-range kids were the preserve of "seen to be failing" families

5% is not a voting group with weight.

60% isn’t a voting group that can handle parents motivated to take care of their kids.

However, let’s dump politics.

All things being equal, saying we should benefit 5%-20% of the population, at the cost of 95% to 80% of the population, just isnt an argument we can get behind logically.

Privacy is not a small thing to give up, but it is an easy thing to give up.

How is it physically possible? No person could survive working 20 hour per day for any at least slightly extended amount of time without some extreme consequences.

I assume they weren't actually working all the time but just basically "living" in the office an not actually engaging in anything productive for more than 10-12 hours.

AI Email Bot Builder
Hi there,
I've heard that hackernews is a bit toxic environment for submitting new products and probably I wouldn't need to just straight submit what I've built.
Honestly, I think it's worth it since it's a tool that allows you to build your own AI email bot.

How does it work? You're creating the email address on your own domain or system domains and then you will be able to start configuring a bot there.
Then, you will be able to write a prompt and choose the GPT model.

After configuration you can start using your custom AI Email ChatBot by sending messages to your chatbot email. Pay attention that you should send the email from the address different that you have used for ProxiedMail.

By default all conversations are copied to your real address as well, so you will be able to reply in bot-user conversation. Depends on the settings you will be able to stop bot-user conversation.

This is kinda preview release, so everything related to bot is free.
Let me know what is your thoughts please.
If it's executing a program, then the easiest way to make it more efficient, is to ditch the LLM and just execute the program. The LLM in this case is basically only (very very very very very inefficiently) approximating the very CPU it's running on. Just use the CPU to execute the program! And you won't be running it on an approximated processor, you'll be running it on a deterministic, reliable one that will not give the wrong answer ever (given the right program and correct input, of course, and assuming no hardware failures, which would affect LLMs too)
The mechanism described is called a countercurrent exchange. One fun detail is that it's quite commonly found in biological systems in nature too!

I can no longer stand Substack.

Mostly because I don't like the fact that the readers of my blog are constantly being pushed towards subscribing to either the platform or the newsletter. It just shouldn't work like this...

I know, call to action, declarations, impulsive decisions, all those marketing hooks. But whenever I find an online resource, like a blog, to be valuable, I'll simply bookmark it, follow the author on X, and find my way to the content.

I don't like being pushed and I don't want anyone to go through this themselves. Maybe I'm naive, but I care about whoever visits my page, otherwise how would I expect to ever create a community around the topics I've been writing about?

That's why I've decided to migrate from Substack to a custom page I'm currently building. I'm proud of the result and content so far, and thought I'll show it here to ask for your opinions and feedback.

Thanks in advance!

The myth is that social security is a retirement program, not a welfare program. The fear is that if you start means testing it, is no longer an entitlement, and people will perceive it as a welfare program instead of a retirement program, and that will be the beginning of the end.
"any speech being made on TikTok can instead be made on other platforms"

Tiktok is not banning certain topics, as other platforms do

The elephant in the room, is that content on Tiktok is served algorithmicaly, so if majority of population prefer to watch brainwash content, it's due to their choice, not algorithm's

>LLMs might truly bring us talking computers.

I have had a talking computer since 2004.

I've had a computer that listens to me since 2012 when I build my first neural network that could recognize my voice and convert it to bash commands reliably enough.

I've had an LLM powered version of that since the gpt 3 api came up and a local version with a llama 8b model today.

It's meh.

To be fair, the temperature (coldness) of the outdoor air contributes to refreshing the room as well.
I would say the exact same thing as you. But, that is Norway for you...

I think the issue might be that in Norway the teachers would not be allowed to confiscate the phone; concerns about school being liable if device is damaged etc.

This autumn luckily the Norwegian government FINALLY, very long overdue, made it clear phones should not be allowed. In the school where my wife teaches this made a night and day difference as they started requiring the use of a "phone hotel" during class. But in other schools they for some reason do not.

I think it's very sad that it's such a common sentiment that one of the joys of the past in tech was the optimism.
I use similar decentralized (single-room) ventilation units here in Northern Germany: https://www.bayernluft.de/de/frame.cgi?page=start.

I am super happy with them. We now always have air that feels fresh and warm in winter, and the humidity has dropped significantly.

There are two types of such ERV devices:

1. Those with only one air channel that switches directions periodically. They use a heat storage element in the airflow. OpenERV belongs to this group.

2. Those with two separate air channels for intake and exhaust at the same time. The air does not mix but passes through a heat exchanger. Bayernlüfter works like this.

The only thing I don't like about Bayernlüfter is that it is not open source. It is controlled by a Raspberry Pi (or a similar clone), and I don't have access to it.
If you had DSL in 1998, it had nothing to do with whether you were rich or not (anyone getting on the Internet was 'rich') - it had everything to do with how close you were to the nearest node.

Disclaimer: I helped start one of the US' biggest ISP's in this era, and personally installed and handed over multiple DSL configurations to folks living in 'poor' neighbourhoods which were, incidentally, close enough to the NOC to be viable DSL customers.. Plenty of 'poor folks' in downtown LA were able to get DSL, purely by the nature of their vicinity to One Wilshire ..
The key point is that phones in school and elsewhere change the stakes by acting as informational weapons due to the social significance of what happens online. Our brains are not wired to interact in this way.

Some may argue that phones should be banned in schools, and I agree with that but I think it's a narrow-minded view. Phones should not be a thing at all in society. They create a new sort of psychological dependence that takes us away from being human.

I am happy I went to high school before phones were a thing. Almost no one had a phone although one or two students at a dumbphone. In my opinion, mobile computing devices are a mistake for humanity. Just like cars which have a speed limit on most roads, we should have an information limit and phones push us past that limit.

Shame on all tech companies who promote this technology.

> If the AI reply is what I would have said anyways; awesome! Finding thumbnails is hard, but if AI comes up with a good one?

If the AI can replace you so easily then your interactions are worthless. In practice it won't say what you would have said but some corporate approved PC-filtered version of it devoid of any soul.

> None of your interactions except the ones with your friends and family are authentic, and they never were.

Speak for yourself. Not everyone is a sociopath.

> It's a bit silly to get annoyed over OnlyFans models or some mega YouTube celebrity using AI because you're losing out on "authentic human interaction" - you only mattered to them insofar as you provided them with money to begin with.

If (when) this catches on, it won't just be "mega celebrities" using these dystopian methods. But no, even for them expanding the scope of their ability to delude and take advantage of simps is a negative.

Major US cities had bandwidth up the wazoo by the end of the 90's, it just hadn't been properly distributed yet. The poor/rich categorization is unjustified - in fact many poor folks in SoCal were able to leapfrog the Beverly Hills T1 hipsters merely due to the fact that they lived closer to the cheaper NOC's ..
ID issues are causing real and active harm, right now. The authoritarian creep has led in part to the current homeless crisis. Vulnerable people have been burnt by KYC requirements (what happens when you don't even have a birth certificate anymore?), and burnt again with the inevitable data breaches when poorly implemented (Optus), and then burnt again due to the country's financial class differences.

ID helps to lock a certain class of people out of government services. That group is generally the disenfranchised, the mentally unwell, the disabled, and the kind of people that always get screwed over. The people those services were set up to help - because helping them is actually cheaper than just letting them cause chaos and then die. Unfortunately, post-setup, that cost is ignored for brownie points with various audiences.

You can't reissue IDs for people when you cancel the only ones that they have.

You can't save a generation, when their entire childhood is spent being attacked on the street because their parents dared to create them.

Is this specific card really something you would ever use in an enterprise/datacentre setting? It's just not its target market. IIRC Gaudi is almost entirely unrelated to ARC

And even if we're talking about datacenter GPUs power usage should be a relatively much smaller issue than for CPUs because of how expensive they are e.g. depreciation for something like the H100 (assuming it actually starts losing value any time soon...) is more than the power + cooling costs anyway.
All good. I reread my comment and it does kind of read in the opposite way I intended.

5110 was fantastic. I did not realize this before, but about 10 years ago needed a replacement phone quickly and had an old 5110 in storage. Charged up, powered up, switched on and in less than 10 seconds could make a call. Fantastic booting speed, very fast phone.

"...there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend democracy by totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are its enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all independence of thought."

>that they are very expensive niche products

My entire "medium sized European suburban house" runs on a $2.5k 400m3/h unit with HEPA filters made in Lithuania - and that was the more expensive model that I can directly control over MODBUS / 0-10V signal (even turning it into a "dumb" unit). Most of the expenses were running the ducts. YMMV

It's just awesome. Every single room has fresh-smelling air and after fine tuning all my heating systems with algos implemented in Home Assistant - I'm getting ~60-100ppm over outdoor CO2, perfectly clean air, temperature within 1C of the set value, on-demand humidity extraction after showers etc. All it needs to be properly overengineered now is a bunch of dampers and per-room CO2/humidity feedback :)
37dba is practically nothing. Like a very soft whisper from a couple meters away. Remember the scale is logarithmic, 37 is almost 2 orders of magnitude below 52.

Guix does the same per every Rust crate AND with Golang. You can support them by importing them with 'guix import' and checking the manifest.scm of every package for licensing reasons.

To add a bit more to this, it's really a new class of magnetism. Traditionally we might think of ordered magnetic materials as being one of two: ferromagnets, which is what you think of when you think of magnets, and antiferromagnets. Antiferromagnets locally order their magnetic moments antiparallel so any which way you measure it, you measure no magnetization.

The application is this: We would like to use ferromagnets and spin currents to make spin-electronic devices ("spintronic") where only the spin information is transferred without any large electrical currents. The goal of this is to save energy from Joule heating as spin can flow with significantly lower energy dissipation.

Ferromagnets run into a lot of problems: they have a stray field, so patterned elements will interact and interfere with each other that sets a limit on how dense each nanostructure can be. Antiferromagnets have a big problem: they are extraordinarily difficult to measure and that is a challenge to overcome.

So the benefit that altermagnetic materials presents is a clear union that tries to overcome the problems of both while retaining the strengths of both.

The exact definition of the ordering of an altermagnet is a bit subtle and it mostly comes from an understanding of how the electronic band structure is different as compared with normal antiferromagnets.
