I dont mind old phones, i just want to replace my batteries. I still remember my old nokia and popping out batteries to pop in another. Was perfect.

I am sure we will all be using local models or GPU hosted models of our own soon. The prices of frontier labs is bordering on premium for the value they provide when compared to the open models I use.

I love doing this as well. I have something like this running on a large 4k screen. Something about looking up once in a while and seeing some other place, with the sounds of the city seems to appeal to me while working. Even helps me reset from the strange anxieties of modern jobs.

Anyone have any pointers for sourcing genuine keyboards for thinkpads? I seem to run out of luck with them everytime.

A world screwed by a mouth breathing MAGA cult. I guess democracies should have programmatic indicators when the idiocy levels start increasing. Countries that cross a bunch of "idiocy indicators" will need intervention.

There is something seriously wrong with american system where a felon can become president and steal openly.

I think we need to counter surveil those in power and their relatives.

Yup, for openclaw and APIs you dont need a big PC. I run something lightweight on the RPI4 8gb. Many people run local LLMs which is where a mac is useful. Frankly I dont think you can beat the value of an openrouter subscription and API calls.

There was a time I used to listen to the All In Podcast. Then Trump became president and these guys started gloating with glee about all the breakage that Musk and Trump were causing. Was quite the shock to me to see the all out happiness. That's when I stopped listening to Sacks and his crowd.

They asked for a global AI moratorium and got one. Funny how things work out. Best of luck with the IPO.

This is the kind of supply risk everyone should plan for. Depending exclusively on one country, one provider, or one model is not going to cut it anymore. I'd double down on improving opensource local models even more and getting harnesses, routers, and testing right.

The Trump administration should focus on things like the UFC fight etc.

This also looks like the perfect China shaped gap in the market if there ever was one.

Windows 11 is what happens when no one speaks up at product team meetings. People nod their heads, get on with the build and the marketing team decides they want another 40 hooks into customer data for monetization.

Windows 11 today is a spectacular example of customer disrespect and disregard. MS believes it can manage with enterprise customer revenue alone. Well, best of luck with that, even enterprises are getting fed up.

Yes and an LLM checks it as well. I am yet to find a sysadmin task that an LLM couldn't solve neatly.

During the Covid lockdowns in India, I saw birds I had not seen in decades. It was amazing; the skies had cleared up, and nature truly was recovering.
