The University of Oxford has been around longer than the Kogui people. And have contributed much more for the improvements of society.

Reads more like oai

So the very thing that is supposed to give their opinions any weight, isn't really true.

Lol

Does them being pre-columbian really add any value or validation to their opinions?

Like in the grand scheme of things?

There are lots of societies that have existed in their same location for much longer. But no one is out here getting quotes from the "Elder Brothers" in Jericho.

My problem is with the epistemic claim. They say their understanding of mind and the cosmos is verified, tested through repetition and consultation over centuries. Sure, but a long, stable run for one small society in one mountain range is still a single data point. It proves their way works for them, there. It doesn't prove it scales to 8 billion people, and it doesn't tell us anything reliable about physics or consciousness.

To be fair, they do say they aren't telling anyone how to live. But calling yourselves the Elder Brother and telling the rest of the world it needs your help is a claim to authority. So what earns it? Being around a long time and getting a UNESCO listing isn't the same thing as predictive power.

Side note: I'm fairly certain parts of the English were polished by an LLM. Could just be the translation, but it reads that way.

The promise was wrong.

Making work easier has never created less work, it only makes more time for more work. That's exactly what happened in the industrial revolution.

Good story.

One problem though, I've personally seen this exploit be successfully used against Vanilla PHP instances in the wild.

Real containers, running PHP 7.4 or 8.1 or even 8.4; exploited and compromised.

Yes, this is more difficult to do than log4shell. So we won't see the army of Metasploit bots like we did in 2021. But it's still very much a real threat.

Lol at the obvious Intel CPUs used on the headline

As a noogler, I feel like I missed all the cool toys. And now I'm stuck with whatever they've acquired.

That is really easy to use. I haven't tried any game design or anything like that for a few decades now; but in my 10 minutes playing around on it, I liked it a lot.

This has some very interesting privacy and security risks. If the tech can do more complex frequency analysis, then couldn't it essentially be used as a microphone for a device that doesn't need permission.

I feel like lots of people here are just commenting on the headline.

This isn't about the local models you're running on your old gaming rig, or the tesla p40 rig you build for local llm's.

This is about code leveraging the local resources where the code is running for it's AI needs. Rather than making an API call to an external AI service, the code leverages the AI capabilities built into the hardware it runs on. With modern Apple, Intel, and AMD silicon all shipping dedicated AI acceleration, this is the where IMO the focus should be heading.

How many Flops or whatever can your phone do? I bet it's enough to paint the walls of your living room, or draw a pretty good pelican on a bike.

Gitops. I use janky infrastructure as code to manage the services running on any stateful machines, and mainly just stuff I through together. I run k8s because everyone runs k8s now, and it's good to have a local environment to play with.

Cheap mini pc on an isolated vlan. Running a cloudflared tunnel or reverse proxy to a vpc on digitalocean, maybe moving to Hetzner soon, or in addition to for failover/ha.

All containers. Some just docker/podman, some one k8s cluster. Mainly it's just for fun. Except the cloud and local backups for our phones/Gcloud, which my wife will get really mad if it doesn't work.
