Thanks for your questions, Freenet caches data but it isn’t meant to be a long-term storage network. It’s better to think of it as a communication system. Data persists as long as at least one node remains subscribed to it. If nobody subscribes (including the author), it will eventually disappear from the network. So yes, if only your node subscribes then the data will only exist there and won’t be available when your machine is offline. But if other nodes subscribe it will be replicated automatically and remain available even if your node goes offline.

Not from 2023, the linked video is from last month. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Let's see... there is a *much* lower than 1 in 4,200 chance of my toy drone injuring anyone or damaging anyone's property but it's controlled by very strict regulations that are supposed to be their for the public's safety and hugely constrain where and when I can fly it.

Someone explain how this works.

Make Lynx Great Again!!!!!

You kids and your graphical browsers... bah!

And while you're at it, get off my lawn!

Eeeeew. Something hit a nerve for sure! How dare anyone insult MiKr0zopht's AI?

I put one camera up(not ring and locked down) because my 80 year old neighbor was snooping. I got video of her walking onto our porch staring through the windows and trying the door she then step off the porch without a step and walked away. She can barely walk if she took that big step down onto soft garden dirt and fell her head would have bounced off brick walkway.

  I have since put up two more cameras to cover the doors of my home as I also had footage of her walking around our backyard when we were not home.

Going into your neighbors property especially without fences is okay if you are retrieving something, walking to a specific point etc. if a fence goes up thatâ(TM)s different.

This outrageous level of paranoia over "alleged" drone sightings will cost human lives soon.

Here we have the US military mis-identifying a party balloon as a drone and firing a powerful laser at it -- while members of the public get prosecuted every year for flicking their laser-pointers at helicopters and airliners.

In Germany, police will be allowed to shoot at "alleged" drones even though it has been clearly proven that most (if not all) of the recent drone sightings were simply mis-identified aircraft lights.

Can anyone see the potential for disaster here?

The mis-identification of aircraft flying at night as "drones" has become rife, dating back beyond the NY/NJ "drone" incidents that caused such concern in the USA a year or two ago. Almost without exception, these "drones" are real aircraft (often passenger flights) carrying people through the skies. How long before one of them is shot down by paranoid trigger-happy idiots?

Paranoia is a mental health issue and it's infecting governments and authorities around the world.

Before someone says "but... Ukraine..." I ask you: how many people have died as the result of actions by bad actors using drones in the USA or outside the war zones in Europe?

That's a big fat ZERO!

Yes, it "could" happen but right now it's far more likely that innocent people will die from friendly fire produced by paranoid idiots on the ground with guns and lasers.

Don't worry... the internet will route around this damage. Discord will become dust.

It's really worth reading the 450 comments on this video Why this crash matters to everyone that flies a drone for a sense of how the recreational drone community is feeling about this crash.

Who else remembers 1channel, FlixNet and the others?

Ah... happy days. At one point almost everything that had ever been screened or broadcast was available to anyone with a Raspberry Pi and a copy of Kodi with a few choice plug-ins. I'd gladly have paid $50 a month to have access to all that stuff but now, with the destruction of that piracy vector, much of the content is no longer accessible and what's left is fragmented over a dozen different streaming services that all want to empty your wallet.

Hence I now just watch my collection of hundreds of DVDs and BuRay disks that I bought for a song when the video-hire stores started shutting dow and which I've ripped to my NAS.

I laugh at you all!

A Nigerian prince has contacted me and advised me that I now own ONE BILLION BTC which is being kept in a chest in that nation's treasury. All I have to do is send him 4Kg of gold to cover the costs of the paperwork and all that BTC will be *mine!!

Those of you who speculate on crypto and precious metals are all fools -- only *I* am onto a sure thing.

I shall laugh at you and ridicule you when my container-load of BTC is delivered next week. Hang on, apparently another 1Kg of gold is required because of inflation. No problems... prepare to be humiliated you crypto and bullion fools!!! The wealth will soon be mine!

Where is all the money for this UBI going to come from?

Tax the rich?

Yeah, that's not working now so I don't see it working just because UBI is a thing.

The sad reality is that AI is likely to cause major financial stress, regardless of whether there's a bubble or not. Once AI improves worker productivity by a huge amount there will be job losses. That loss of jobs means less money in the economy to purchase goods and services. Reduced demand means reduced profits for the companies that employed AI in the first instance.

Net result: huge economic contraction and a situation where nobody wins.

The oft-described utopia where nobody ever needs to work again (are you listening Elon) is better described as 100 percent unemployment -- with all the heartache and financial difficulties that brings.

In 1940 the world had a population about 2.3 billion

It is currently about 8.3 billion. In less than a century we tripled the planetary population.

Even if every country has a 3 decades of negative growth it will be 60 years before we drop below 7 billion people.

Or three times the population we had in 1940
The rapidly rising population is what drove the growth of everything. A slowly declining population will drag everyone down for decades

LLMâ(TM)s have legitimate useful business cases that can save employees hours.

Guess where LLM isnâ(TM)t being applied rapidly?

An LLM tha can scan a pdf and then either create database entries or an importable file that creates the database entries would save workers hours a week.

  Think scan a pdf and import it into the ERP software database. Think scan a packing slip or order acknowledgement pdf and import it.

It isnâ(TM)t sexy it isnâ(TM)t ground breaking it can save small busineesss. 10-120 hours a week. And now it is like $0.30 a page. When it needs to be $.003 a page.

Also it isnâ(TM)t really ai yet. AI is coming these might lead to limited pseudo intellect but ant colonies and ravens have better problem solving skills

Llm only works when someone else has given the answer or at least parts of it.
