Banning AI (AGI, really) super intelligence is a horrible idea. We NEED a singularity to happen to truly advance as a species, merge ourselves with technology, and spread out into the cosmos.

We already have specific travel lanes in the sky. Airlines fly them all the time.

Wow you can't handle the word "shit"? Go back to watching care-bears. Your simping for corporations is pathetic. Just bend over already, they won't use lube don't worry hunnybunny.

I owned a galaxy S7 Active back in the day.

The Moto G hasn't been a small device in a decade. The current iteration is a 6.7" screen, which is well above the 6" line that makes it a phablet. The base iPhone 17 is smaller at 6.2", but that is also enormous. I will hold on to my Iphone 13 mini.

I did have the 1st gen moto g and it was the perfect size at 4.5", but it is sadly outdated to use now.

BTC mining will always be profitable as the mining algorithms scale difficulty, and value more than doubles per each halving. This statement will remain true until 2140.

This is how fiat operates too, via the digital banking systems. This is why proof-of-work coins are superior to any currently known monetary system.

By announcing the M6 cpu mere days after the M5 launched, they've let their customers know that if they just wait a year, they'll get a better chip. This could reduce sales of the M5 laptops.

You get far more uptake if you:

Give lesson, then reward with treat, and a reminder to comply.

than if you: inflict pain, and then give lesson.

carrot vs stick.

As supposed to the old the donald subreddit, who would ban you for even mildly dissenting opinion. The fascist censorship ideology is on the far right. The far left will engage and debate you in good faith, at least until you come back with gaslights, ad hominems, and deflections.

Apple is shockingly a strong name in local LLM use. Just not at the base model level..... The max and pro chips have extremely fat memory bus speeds and up to 192gb unified ram, but even the 96gb or 64gb options can run hefty LLMs

That's how wifi standards work though. They'll establish 99% of spec years before it reaches final spec. They'll even put alpha/beta products on consumer shelves before the spec is finalized. Rather or not the pre-final hardware supports the post-final spec is in the air, and many devices get left in the dust or abandoned to a lack of firmware updates anyway.

I have 320mhz w7 hardware and I, by choice, run my AP at 160mhz. In my environment it's faster and more reliable. 320mhz may be useful in some edge cases where you live in a shoebox and don't have many neighbors interfering. But if you have many neighbors, or a sizable home, you get better performance from 160, or even 80, mhz widths.

That actually exists. I've seen a few on I-20.

This is correct. Quantum computing is, largely, a grift. There will never be a working model, proof of concept, or productized release. A few qubits in a lab costs millions of dollars and, unlike silicon, there is NO path to economy of scale. This puts it out of reach of even billionaire or 1st world government black budgets, and even if the cost WAS sunk, the stuff doesn't even function as the hype says it does.
