That is a sharp observation and you are absolutely right to point it out! We are here not to consume, but to critically evaluate, not to skim, but to understand.
Would you like me to generate a chart that shows how humans have adopted AI-speak over time?
I like that the Bank of England spells out the "sudden correction" this time.
In 1996 Fed Chair Alan Greenspan warned about irrational exuberance, in 1999 he warned Congress about "the possibility that the recent performance of the equity markets will have difficulty in being sustained". The crash came in 2000.
The warning seems to have gone unnoticed. AMD just behaves exactly like Juniper in 1999.
Suddenly the pictures look like in the 1990s again. This is the company that radicalized software engineers and open source projects throughout the Biden administration and cheered on any woke cancellation.
And if Harris is elected in 2028, they'll flip again. I've never seen such blatant cowardice and treachery.
Off-topic, but do you think Harris is the likely D candidate?
I'm a mere observer of American politics, but both Polymarket and electionbettingodds.com have Gavin Newsom in the lead to be the candidate, and JD Vance to win the election.
Right now the party still seems to be scrambling. I really hope we get a decent candidate next time around so we don't get another geriatric oldfuck who just sweeps the election with little competition.
If they're even considering Harris again though, I have no hope whatsoever.
Newsom may be a minor improvement, but they really need to do some soul searching if they think neoliberal policy is going to win an election in 2028.
It really is quite astonishing to see how disconnected they are from their base. They should really have future elections in the bag with the way demographics and polls are looking.
"anlasslose Chatkontrolle" => Chat Control without cause.
Ok, maybe these are not weasel words in this case. The CDU probably wants to present itself as a friend of the people using a popular issue that they don't really care about. My suspicion is that this is exactly why the ChatControl issue is brought up yearly. It distracts people from wars, the economy etc., there is a big discussion and finally the government graciously comes down on the side of the people. Each and every year.
Were this true, some politicians would do it for that reason. It would need to get a lot of attention to be an effective distraction, and it does not. The mainstream press barely covers the issue. Many people who would be directly harmed by it don't even know what's being considered.
Yeah, this isn't being covered at all. At least, up to its significance. Most people are computer illiterate too, so it is unlikely they would understand or care either.
It's no wonder we see the countries that oppose this as well. Makes one think.
Sweden's case is peculiar given their military opposed it. I wonder what's going on there.
"There isn’t enough bandwidth to transmit video to all devices from the servers and there won’t always be good connectivity, so there still needs to be significant client-side AI compute."
So no real operating system, except an AI which operates the whole computer including all inputs and outputs? I feel like there's a word for that.
Well, if the AI controls the computer and is how the user interacts with it, I was going to use "Operating System" myself. But that's two words, my bad.
I would expect this from a 3rd grader for sure, my friend's sister's book had a photo of ubuntu and windows and operating systems and it won't take me more than 5 minutes to a literal toddler who knows about operating systems from a very high level to explain to them after they know about operating system to teach them why this thing that elon said was the dumbest thing anyone ever said, period.
Is this what free market capitalism does when people at the top are completely incapable of forming basic thoughts that can make sense and not be a logical paradox?
I am thinking more and more after I read your post that maybe these guys won't really miss out on a few billion $ of taxes and other things, nothing can fix the holes in their lives.
Now it makes sense why we have a system which has failed. Why capitalism feels so heartless. So ruthless. Its run by people who don't have a heart or well in this case a brain as well
https://gravitypayments.com/the-gravity-70k-min/ This comes to my mind more and more, why can't companies pay their workers not what they think they can get away with but rather what they think is fair. Why can companies be morally bad for their workers and that's okay and why are people like these running such companies who can't equate 1+1 in the name of AI.
Sounds like the Sun Ray thin client, built by Sun Microsystems in 1999. This was similar to the earlier graphical X terminals, which were reminiscent of mainframe terminals in the 1960s. It's the "wheel of reincarnation".
Super cool!
What I am wondering is if there is any interest in lets say having a smartphone that has this tech(see my other comment wishing for a open source phone somewhere on hackernews or the internet really)
So lets say we can just have a really lightweight customizable smartphone which just connects over wifi or wire to something like raspberry pi or any really lightweight/small servers which you can carry around and installing waydroid on it could make a really pleasant device and everything could be completely open source and you can make things modular if you want...
Like, maybe some features like music/basic terminal and some other things can be seen from the device too via linux x and anything else like running android apps calls up the server which you can carry around in a backpack with a powerbank
If I really wanted to make it extremely ideal, the device can have a way of plugging another power bank and then removing the first powerbank while still running the system so that it doesn't shut down and you literally got a genuinely fascinating system that is infinitely modular.
Isn't this sort of what stadia was? But just targeted more for gaming side since Games requires gpu's which are kinda expensive...
What are your thoughts? I know its nothing much but I just want a phone which works for 90% of tasks which lets be honest could be done through a really tiny linux or sun ray as well and well if you need something like an android app running, be prepared for a raspberry pi with a cheap battery running in your pocket. Definitely better than creating systems of mass surveillance but my only nitpick of my own idea would be that it may be hard to secure the communication aspect of it if you use something like wifi but I am pretty sure that we can find the perfect communication method too and it shouldn't be thaaat big of a deal with some modifications right?
I've been wanting to do that. I'm not sure of the status of remote display forwarding for wayland, but worst case you can run postmarketos on your device, then `ssh -X yourhost weston` to start a weston compositor which displays over X, and then run waydroid inside there.
The bulkiness of having a powerbank + rpi with you could get a little challenging to deal with
Hey I like your approach too but it seems that there are some subtle differences in our approaches
I mean that I take a screen and a esp32 or any microcontroller like raspberry pi and create a modular phone for just enough to boot from a device in my backpack lets say
And what you are saying is to take an already working phone and then running postmarketos on it to then connect to a host
Theoretically... (yes?) Postmarketos is a linux but their support is finnicky from what I know... like it scares me or makes me think I need a really specific phone which might cost a lot of sorts or comparatively more than say my modular approach
Everything else sure, they are the same.
I believe that the microcontroller approach isntead of postmarketos can be better because of more freedom of the amount of Os supported but that isn't that big of a deal
just plug in a ssh server from raspberry pi of sorts and a wifi card to connect them of sorts :)
Now If you are wanting to do it, Do you want to contribute together? I will send you a mail after which we can talk on something like signal or feel free to message me on signal and anything else really!
If I can be honest, I want to hack around with my kaechoda 100 which worked with 32 mb... like it never lagged in 32 mb and my 1 gig android stutters and I definitely want to figure out what OS does kaechoda use that its so so fast and actually good-enough as well
Like anyways, I will message ya and if anybody is an expert in embedded, please also contact me if someone else is also interested like you! I genuinely want to make this a reality and write more about it :p
have a nice day and I will send you a mail to your gmail!
I usually stay off X. The number of sycophants in that thread is alarming.
I don't want "apps on demand" that change when the AI training gets updated, and now the AI infers differently than yesterday - I want an app the bank vetted and verified.
Would have worked in 2022. Now all oligarchs swore loyalty to Trump, the Ellison family is buying CBS and TikTok, LLMs are audited for compliance. Even here Trump criticism is rare now, because everyone feels being watched.
If the Tesla Optimus will actually work (big if), you will be able to send that to beat down protests in Portland instead of the National Guard.
That is the tragic part. This administration ran on a platform of bringing back the real economy and manufacturing. Now they fuel the Bitcoin and "AI" bubbles, which are nonessential and non-tangibles.
The GDP increases are fake. Mining Bitcoin produces nothing, in fact the money supply should not be increased to match the fake GDP increase. The same is true for "AI".
A hell of a lot of absolute slop as well… it’s really not at all obvious that it’s a net win in any way at this stage.
Actual real life case studies that people can point to where they deployed it and it all went great are actually very hard to come by. It was only the other week that there was that study that said the number was as low as I think they said like 5% or something.
No shortage of excitement though, but a lot of things seem to be riding on some big breakthroughs coming down the pipeline that may never arrive.
I feel like I am living in another reality when I hear about all these "studies" confirming LLMs have no value and how no one uses them. I am using LLMs all day. I have more ideas about how to use them than I have time to build out.
My day job and then family life consumes a lot of my time, but in 2025 so far I have shipped 8 personal tools and side-projects from zero, which is a record for me.(not to mention a lot of smaller stuff like custom browser extensions). That probably would have been 1 maybe 2 in a world without AI.
>Now they fuel the Bitcoin and "AI" bubbles, which are nonessential and non-tangibles.
The current boom has basically had nothing to do with any government efforts. It is booming in spite of the current administration. This is all private industry.
For the Nvidia bubble, it has recently lifted export regulations to China.
It facilitates meetings of "Open" "AI" with world leaders and almost certainly exerts pressure with tariffs etc. behind the scenes to force these deals.
So it is a secret tool, they will "gradually reach out to interested maintainers of critical open source projects with CodeMender-generated patches", then they "hope to release CodeMender as a tool that can be used by all software developers".
Why is everything in "AI" shrouded in mystery, hidden behind $200 monthly payments and has glossy announcements. Just release the damn thing and let us test it. You know, like the software we write and that you steal from us.
Would you like me to generate a chart that shows how humans have adopted AI-speak over time?
