Local stores around here no longer carry blu-ray media since sales have fallen off and few people even own the players. Bought a bunch of clearance discs last year but that might be it.

A lot of computer hacker types get a ham license because it’s relatively easy to do with a bit of studying. Then you have more flexibility around working with radios and also learn how to stay out of trouble. Like there’s a lot of interesting digital signal projects you can do with a raspberry pi and an sdr.

Completely agree with you. I primarily use AI coding agents within a container on a dedicated computer. I’d be annoyed if it somehow broke out of its container and managed to rm -rf /. I’d probably lose the last uncommitted changes, and have this setup the dev environment again. Nbd, but annoying.

I use small local models regularly for coding. Worst I've seen is destructive git checkouts (can be fixed with git history) and maybe overwriting results of long regression tests unprompted.

My actual ham radio club mostly chats on discord and email. We don't even show up much at the weekly nets. Radio is mostly for participating in events like pota, contesting and emmcomm.

Eggs do not lay eggs. The goose was not valued.

Yes, but given the 3-5 year lifespan of the server infra capex, the separation becomes less meaningful. Better to count the entire TCO or discounted cashflow accounting for the rapid asset depreciation.

I’m Canadian and work in healthcare. I have a dedicated travel phone that I move my SIM card to whenever I travel to the US.

I carry a letter from my work explaining that I’m not allowed to travel with electronic devices potentially containing confidential patient information in case a recently wiped phone raises any flags

I haven’t done that since around 2012. But it’s rough since you get cut off from family and friends who exclusively use social media to stay in touch. Because I don’t use Instagram or fb, there are so many local events and opportunities I keep missing out on.

Ah, but this clearly falls under parody. No reasonable person would assume this depicts a genuine ikea store. That said, ikea could’ve just granted permission to use their trademark in a horror parody game. That would’ve been a fun ikea promotion rather than stoke animosity

Yes it unfortunately was. Because the SCP lore this game recreates refers to a horror scenario set inside an infinite inescapable ikea store.

Honestly, enjoying the craft hasn’t resulted in a career related to it. My real job and chores take up most of my capacity, leaving little to enjoy the craft. But now with AI, I can play with crafting as if it was a video game. The end results, which nowhere near is satisfying, is better than nothing. Coding with AI feels gamified and simulated, but still somehow creates useful outcomes.

Surprised this is so far down. A subagent with a cheap model like haiku or similar is the way to go instead of dumping tool output directly into the main agent context

It’s the size of a passport, which does fit in most pockets.

These open problem solutions often reveal tighter bounds on prior conjectures. Even if the solutions produced are far from elegant and only machine verifiable, we do learn new information. But I agree that just like writing prose and code, brainstorming frontier math proofs is a perishable skill
