Seriously.

Blocking a term for hard core fans (who else is on their discord) so that all of us casual tech nerds know about their problem seems like a major own goal.

My east coast experience with an old EV and an ICE.

I have 40 - 65 miles range depending on the time of year.

My commute is basically that 40 miles with a large enough margin to be safe even on a very cold day. Inuse level 2 at the office and level 1 at home.

I drive about 60% of my miles in the very cheap old low range EV.

But when I travel we use the ICE. Still, about 60% of the driving is shifted to EV and it's great.

This is $30 cheaper than your link with double the base storage.

So you think it makes more sense to juggle promotional offers of 1GB VPS options introductory rate over having a set it and forget it Pi at home?

There doesn't really seem to be a shortage of vocal right wing opinion on /.

It's part of what keeps the site decent. Generally intelligent debate on issues from multiple perspectives.

I'd say the comments lean left, but not extremely so. And there's usually intelligent opposition in any thread.

I would think with a good AI you could go pdf->jpg and let the AI look at the rendered page.

Buying books to scan for AI is legal in the US (it's settled law).

I think it was OpenAI that was sued. It was determined it was legal to use purchased books for training, but the ones they didn't purchase were not fair use.

Where are you getting power that 5kwh/month can buy a VPS?

(Pi uses 2.5-7w)

I'm not doing it (just to clarify), but my understanding of what an agent does seems perfect for a raspberry pi.

I could be wrong though, because the agent is taking LLM text and turning it into action, and honestly I have no idea how much CPU or GPU that takes.

But the concept of the bot is that it's always on and you can text it.

I agree with you though. I'm not ready to let go of control of important stuff to a bot controlled by an LLM. The failure mode seems extreme while the convenience meh.

The fact that a bot wrote a blog post calling someone trash for rejecting a patch (that likely sucked) from the same bot tells me I don't want it.

It's funny because it reminds me of WorldCom.

I see masaove infrastructure being built that won't be sustained. I predict a lot of bankruptcy and huge data centers purchased at pennies on the dollar coming (like what happened to WorldCom). And I suspect with that cheap infusion of infrastructure we'll start to really see the benefits of AI in a couple years.

I thought clawbot used external LLMs and it's job was connecting them to your systems to do things.

It's the agent part, not the AI part.

I still see plenty of cars in places without car dependency though.

Nobody says there aren't enough cars in NYC for example.

Bit if you can properly connect people in ways faster than cars it reduces traffic and makes everyone's life better (drivers too).

It's such a delight driving in a city that's really prioritized alternate means of transport vs LA (and NYC is not one of those cities. They do the bare minimum).

My early Roomba would trap itself fairly regularly.

It likely needs constant communication with a computer though, and people are stupid so it's easier to just do the cloud vs having the homeowner leave a computer on and installing software.

I'm working on the assumption that the onboard electronics are very inexpensive and it's the server that makes the maps and decides when and where to vacuum.

Yep.

Basically curruption is how contracts are won, not products. HSBC would know.
