‘Piracy’ is only a problem if ‘Intellectual Property’ is treated as a legitimate concept, and not an arbitrary construct of artificial constraint imposed on intrinsically abundant resources.

Copyright and patents should be replaced with a system designed to quantify and attribute the true value of ideas, and not reward locking them away as tightly as possible.

Every number system is base 10.

Binary is base 1+1.
Ternary is base 2+1.
Octal is base 7+1.
Decimal is base 9+1.
Duodecimal is base B+1.
Hexadecimal is base F+1.

How do you put a kill switch on the radioactive asbestos being deliberately whisked into the code base?

Anyone who frames LLMs as AI is complicit in the grift, and their opinions should be summarily ignored and ridiculed.

Dig up, mate.

None of this AI grift is meant to be treated as serious.

The very foundation it’s built upon is energised sand performing explicitly and purposefully inaccurate and imprecise calculations in an explosively cascading sequence.

How better to describe the result of this than as slop?

Much like any other religious adherence, I don’t care what you believe and subject yourself to personally, but my threshold for calling out and ridiculing is the same. When those beliefs and impositions are forced on non-believers without consent, which is what’s happening from this hype cycle.

You’re defending slop, reacting like the slime in Ghostbusters.

I’d usually call you a slopvangelical LLM thumper, but I’m trying to branch out.

Yeah, you probably should.

The ectoplasm is angry.

The ‘V’ in AI stands for value. The price of TuLLMips can only go up.

Any mind which can be blown by the lack of acceptance of pseudo-deterministic slop should be constrained to stewarding products used by only true believers.

Slopvangelical LLM thumpers are welcome chew on their shit all they like, just stop forcing the rest of us to partake.

Wireless data transmission should only ever be used for nomadic, temporary, and/or sacrificial links.

They’re useful for quick deployment, but are intrinsically brittle and terrible for resiliency and efficiency.

The longer the dependence on them for a given use case, the less defensible arguments in support of them become.

I’m all for the use of satellite delivery of internet services, but only when it’s used in conjunction with a broader roll out of hardwired infrastructure, at which point it can reasonably be relegated to serving as a secondary, backup diverse path.

Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

It arbitrary pollutes any environment it’s conducted in, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising insecure hoarding of private information with the intent to better target individuals.

Watching slopvangelical LLM thumpers slip up will never not be entertaining.

I’ve never allowed my TV to have an active route to the internet since I bought it in 2019, it’s exclusively fed over HDMI by gaming consoles and an Apple TV.

The thing is, HDMI 1.4 added HEC, so what’s to prevent media players from serving as an Ethernet switch and providing an internet connection to TVs.

Friends don’t let friends use Facebook[1].

[1]Corporations are the only ‘persons’ it’s acceptable to explicitly deadname.

He truly is an idiot’s concept of a genius.

No one who anctually understands Unix or IP networking would ever craft that as an explanation for this concept.

That said, it’s an excellent explanation of how a lobotomy helped him embrace his true self.

I’m in Australia, so my perspective may be skewed. The trailer would be optional, and I only mentioned it as the system as proposed could be just an extension of the self contained removable battery in a vehicle.

Unless batteries can become tremendously lighter, I see a standardised, swappable EV battery a given as a means to further increase vehicle efficiency. Why lug around hundreds of km of range when the distance between typical charging points is a fraction of that.

The batteries are what make EVs heavier compared to ICE vehicles, and the majority of trips don’t call for anything close to their peak range.

Installing a fraction of the capacity as a static battery would reduce weight for shorter trips, also extending the typical range.

Removable batteries could be installed in a standard cavity in the undercarriage, or in the regular cargo space, it just needs an electrical connection to the rest of the system.

Fast charging is also a problem, as it disproportionately affects the performance and longevity of the batteries. Swapping batteries would permit charging them at a more leisurely and manageable rate.
