Yeah it feels weird. It's like microsoft going after someone that uses Visual Studio to make their own IDE. As long as the Chinese customers are paying for access to the models than this seems like entirely fair game. I'm also rather confused as supposedly Kimi K3 was distilled from Fable/Mythos but they only had about 10 days of access to do that? If it's possible to learn the secret recipe to an AI model in that short of a time, it hardly seems like a secret.

There are literally hundreds of Linux distros out there.

You could even pitch it as a ground-based satellite You could make a box that has compute, batteries, starlink and a few acres of solar panels. Pack the whole thing onto a semi truck and you could plonk it down anywhere there's available land. There are loads of places in the US where you could do that, and I think most the anti-datacenter crowd would be placated if the facility didn't need water and generated its own clean energy.

Also, a movie about a war veteran getting mistreated, and critical of the anti-war movement.

Not for you, but for them to track your kids.

Indeed, because even if it's not user-repleaceable, any phone repair shop can do it. (It's also crazy to buy a $1k+ phone in the first place, goddamn, there are fine options for much much less.)

It's annoying, but adapters are cheap. I'm not going to lose sleep over $5.

They did, the whole industry uses USB-C now.

And there was "Project Star Trek": back in '92 they got System 7 running on a 486. It was shelved as Michael Spindler pushed for the PowerPC instead, but it existed.

But Tomb Raider: Anniversary is already that, and still looks perfectly good. And if you want it more strictly faithful to the original, there's the recent remaster. So this is absolutely unnecessary.

That seems like the obvious compromise. You can drop POTS when you have FTTH provisioned to an address

Not exactly, it used the Z80 to control the actual sound chips: a Yamaha YM2612 (which does FM) and a Texas SN76489 (which is a simpler PSG). And this setup, in the right hands, could produce absolutely excellent music.

The man really had no shame:

GPT-OSS-20B gives me 34 tokens/sec on a 4 yr old gaming laptop with a 3080 RTX - smaller models come in faster still.

But that's an externalized cost - the business isn't paying it and the homeowner isn't directly paying it either. So it's really a win-win.

It would be interesting if you could bring it into your basement in the winter and heat your house for free - that does start to make a little more sense.

That's sort of what Google does now. You try to search, it gives you some AI-generated overview of the topic before providing links. It's occasionally handy but most often infuriating.

It can't, that's just "synergy", the idea that one powerful brand can boost another. In reality it just causes confusion and incorrect assumptions.
