Something somethING ICE in bed with Telcos to deport foreigners buying burner phones?

Please let it be stupidly implemented such that I can convince the AI to pay me to fly Delta. (IMHO, how are they even a big airline player? I give it they are a step above Spirit but that’s all they got)

I mean, the alternative is economic and infrastructure colonization from the Chinese. Not a whole lot of good options it seems.

But for the lulz, what was its response and why was it more than 1 word? (I have yet to see a non single purpose driven Instruct AI actually adhere to the single word directive on a complex topic.)

Nope, Self hosted deepseek 8b thinking and distilled variants still clam up about Tianmen Square

Emacs since it’sa trojan horse for an operating system on an operating system.

I always put all of the code in the main block. Only exception is when I am creating a multithreaded/multiprocessor application. Then I normally use the if statement as the place to setup “the plumbing” with pipes and what not. That way people are forced to realize there is no main function but two co functions working in tandem

Dude, top ten expositions of all time. Up there with the importance of pizza delivery.

I mean say what you want, but thats legit how new tech is being developed right now. My favorite book is Cryptonomicon. It came out in 1999, But the premise was that the main characters were going to build a currency backed on cryptography. There was even a side story in the book where one of the man characters is looking for a specific investor who is obsessed with trading cards. The main character sells the investor on the idea by saying how the technology could easily be adapted for distributing digital trading cards.

The dude basically predicted Bitcoins and the rise of NFTs in 1999.

Lol, Interestingly enough. The hacker who steals the book realizes that each copy he makes can’t have a ractor so he substitutes it with a computer generated voice. I distinctly recall him acknowledging that it’s not as personal as a ractor but is adequate enough for the purpose.

Everyday we get closer to the book The Diamond Age by Neil Stephenson where the main character has stolen from him a book he created called, “A Young Ladies Illustrated Primer” The thief turns out to be a hacker and mass produces copies of the book for orphans.

The book itself is an AI that assess the users surroundings and intelligence level before creating stories that are relevant to the user that also educates them.

I can see this being a net positive if done correctly. But I don’t think the tech is there yet.

I mean, if they are gonna get rid of it, I will take one for free. Free EV is a free EV if it breaks down 5 days later then I am in the same situation I was before getting the truck.

Not sure, currently have 8 nodes and 40 apps running

Use tailscale for host nodes, use tailscale docker container in a compose stack with an app that you sidecar to. That way that app is on your tailnet as if it is its own computer. Use tailscale serve for reverse proxying support of the apps. Then, setup a vps node (I use linodes $5 node) with tailscale and configure that to be your DMZ into your tailnet.

For DMZ, use Caddy, UFW, and fail2ban. Also take advantage of ACLs in the Tailscale admin console to only have the VPS able to route traffic to specific apps you want to expose. My current project is to work in Authelia into this setup so a user logs into one exposed app and is able to traverse to other exposed apps through header / token authentication.

Oh also, segment the tailnet using different authentication keys. Each host node should have its own key, all the apps on a host node should have a shared key, and all public facing clients should have a common shared key. That way in case of compromise you can revoke the affected keys without bringing down your network.

When you end up having a mini homelab look into komo.do for container orchestration over the overkill options like kubernetes or portainer

Not really, HDL is HDL. At the end of the day, as long as you know what you want to do electrically then everything else is an exercise of translating that desire into VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog. The only real hassle is creating test-benches and verification simulations. But at that point it’s discretionary towards the designer. A lot of tools coming from Intel, Xilinx, and Synopsys allow you to “black box” components. So a module written in VHDL can be incorporated into a design or test bench written in verilog and vis-versa. IMHO VHDL is still dominant because grey beard chief engineers throw a little hissy fit at design reviews when they learn the junior engineers did everything in verilog.

A ton of people. Anything aerospace, DoD, Space, or critical infrastructure. All those industries have to use VHDL to support legacy products from the 80s and 90s. At that point everyone is like, “Sure its 2025, by why switch to SystemVerilog? We already know VHDL.” and thus you got a whole army of engineers making next gen satellites, augmented reality headsets, etc. …… in VHDL 93.

Not as impossible sounding. I mean I would never attempt it but you might be able to get away with it using a stencil, solder paste and one of those fancy toaster ovens with a broil setting. ROI would suck since you are probably gonna fail the first couple of times.

I really wanted window 10 phones to take off. Their development into their now defunct projects such as Continuum and Munchkin in my opinion could have jump started and sustained smartphones as a legitimate productivity PC. Imagine having a cellphone you can dock anywhere and have a full blown windows OS to do things on…. That’s where they were heading.

Alas, the best we got is Dex and stage manager both being cellphone OS solutions for work PC tasks.
