In the age of llms you'd think Google's Android keyboard could do more context analyst and stop sucking so badly but apparently not. Should have been "Internet" not "interview."

Nearly all power inverters of the type they are targeting are always connected to the interview for reporting and logging purposes. Of course you don't have to connect them but it's helpful if they are. Many can be integrated with third party dash boards. I don't know if anyone with home solar that doesn't look at their inverter dashboard regularly to see how they are doing with power generation and consumption.

The machine is said to be built, and being tested, but has not been used in chip making, and won't be for some time yet. But this is a much bigger step forward than many realize.

Apparently you haven't played with any local LLMs yet. While they are not up to the big frontier models, they are quite amazing and can do a lot of the low-quality generative stuff that most people use AI for already.

We're getting really close to having coding models that can run on local machines (by local I mean a small cluster of 128 GB NVidia dgx spark machines or AMD 395s), and just about do what Claude Code's models can do, but do it all locally.

You bet. And there are other new slop words now too! For example, here is a "sloperating system":

To save you from having to click it, this is an AI-generated, clean-room implementation of Mac System 7 OS, for x86 platforms.

China is making good progress on EUV too. They have their first machine built now. It's nowhere near as capable as ASML but it's a huge step towards it.

I highly doubt a Chinese mission in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico would go unnoticed!

Although he was dead wrong on several occasions. He was very much anti-Unix and anti-Linux. I remember him writing that unix geeks need to let it go and embrace the (windows) future.

If it's like Jeep, the salesmen are punished if customers don't sign up for the monthly services. Of course the first few months are always free and you can always cancel at any time they say.

Mod parent +1 insightful. It is definitely not a troll. It's the absolute truth. Life kind of sucks for a lot of lower middle class Americans, and it has for some time. And it's not really their fault. They've done everything "right" to fulfill the American dream but they can't ever get ahead for very real, structural reasons. Naturally they are looking for someone to blame and since Obama presided over much of the years since the great collapse, he makes a convenient scapegoat for the GOP and for Trump in particular. Asking these people to vote for a Democrat what in their mind they've never seen any personal benefit to doing so is a losing proposition. Never mind that Trump has done nothing to help them and made their lives worse. But he he appeals to their egos while at the same time stoking their fears.

And the Great Barrier Reef is "in" Australia. Presumably in the outback some where.

Trump doesn't typically follow the law and does what he wants. So far we have his words on the matter, which are very clear. The jet will go to the Trump Presidential library after he leaves office, and he and Eric Trump have both said he will continue to use the plane for private purposes once it is attached the library. How Trump will actually do this, we don't know. Legally maybe the jet does belong to the air force. But who will enforce that? Maybe the courts. Certainly not Congress. Not the MAGA voters.

Just the other day I heard an Electronic Frontier Foundation representative talk about their recently released tool called Rayhunter for finding and identifying these surveillance devices.

The way things are going these days if you attend any kind of protest in the United States right now, you can expect to be surveiled and tracked by police and federal officials. So turn your cell phone off. Sad that not having your constitutional rights protected is the norm these days. I think it's been that way for years but has gotten significantly worse lately.

Apparently there is an open source app called "Policy Plus" that lets you set up policies on Windows 11 home. But I really don't think most users would ever install that, let alone know how to use it.

I'm not at all surprised. Most of Trump's inner circle is entangled in Epstein somehow. For years the GOP has been saying the Epstein files implicate many prominent democrats. It's a bit odd because if the files could bring down some democrats you'd think the GOP and the Trump administration would be champing at the bit to release even some small part of the files that would show this, or even hint at it! Or even some redacted pages that protect their own. But it's crickets. I can only surmise that they are nearly all so deeply implicated it's not even possible to release anything at this stage.
