A globally distributed, peer-to-peer (P2P) network for large language models (LLMs) that ensures:

* Privacy: All queries remain on local nodes unless federated updates are performed. * Censorship resistance: No central authority controls outputs. * Renewable energy utilization: Inferers only operate when powered by solar, wind, or other green energy sources. * Continuous operation: Geographic distribution ensures night/day operation. * Community-driven model selection: Nodes vote on the model to use, ensuring it fits inferer constraints.

I don't see UBI happening any time soon, although increasingly obvious it would be a good thing overall. because the oligarchs are on a powertrip and prefer to shed the workforce, have "unusuable" people fall by the wayside (through poor health, poor social status, economy); the oligarchs will be the consumers; they are sort of moving towards a world of them + robots only. you could say "then if robots do everything we all can live the same way" in theory yes, in practice, it is tricky because of the way the system is built.

well well well

there are 2 solutions to this: 1. steam accepts eth and other cryptos; most people associate btc with crypto because it is the original but it is now technically vastly inferior. 2. the seven seas (nobody ever turns your free transaction down and you get to keep whatever it is forever with no fancy license/tos/eulas attached)

This is a naive and very basic implementation of the paper https://github.com/eth-siplab/Nightbeat since the authors haven't published their version.

There is no guarantee this works IRL, I tested on myself at rest but there is body movement rejection to be implemented and fine tuning to be done. I lack data from more IRL users and have merely experimented on myself and synthetic data.

there is no long term herd immunity with coronaviruses; which is why they are often use in disaster prevention scenarios...

what you call "herd immunity" is merely letting people die and then go "we have herd immunity" as part of your survivor bias

only solution that works most of the time, regardless of pathogen (including covid): air filtration (respirators and/or whole room)

sadly getting infected just means the virus will nuke your immune system (not to mention your endothelium)
