That would defeat the entire purpose of keeping that machine alive.

It won't free space, but It removes the icons, it won't run in the background, etc.

You are welcome to continue development on support for the 486 if you need continued support for it. The kernel is open source and you can easily clone yourself a local repo and continue 486 support maintenance while merging in new features as time goes on.

My very first linux box, which I still have and is still running today, is still on RedHat 3.0.3 that I got on a CD in a book from the Media Play in Poughkeepsie NY in 1996. Granted it is completely useless except as a samba server sharing the 1.6GB hard disk that is still in it (and still works). But, I keep it for posterity, and because I like having a monitor with xearth on it.

I could probably put a newer distribution on it but with only 24MB of RAM, the newer stuff would choke out on it.

Cold-start takes forever, but once running, nuclear plants can load follow, adjusting output by several percent per minute. Generally they don't only for economic reasons: it makes more sense to throttle back everything else instead. However, if you run out of other things to shut down, nuke plants can load-follow just fine. France does this all the time.

Batteries are still useful in a bunch of ways, but you don't need nearly as many for a mostly-nuke grid as an mostly-renewables grid.

They do not. If the grid can't accept the power, they just open the bypass valves and waste the extra heat while the reactor throttles down.

It's not injecting any wealth into rural communities. It's injecting wealth into a single or a small group of large landowners, who upon receiving said wealth will immediately pack up and move to a large city somewhere and live the high life until they go bankrupt a year later.

They are just trying to coerce you into using the Hotmail web client in Edge instead of the classic Outlook app, which they no longer want to spend the money to maintain.

It does seem that way, judging from this video on the "Low Level" channel.

Mac Mini is a popular device for local inference, as it has a built-in GPU which shares the system RAM, so you can run relatively large models for its price.

I assume Clawdbot/Moltbot can work with any inference backend with an OpenAI-compatible API, so it's up to the user to choose between local inference or using a subscription to someone else's LLM service.

What the value is of running an agent locally when all your data is in cloud services is a good question, but I guess it could also use self-hosted data sources, if you have those.

The real estate agent is happy to have a busy open house. Everyone else suffers from wasted time, inefficient markets, and occasionally being suckered into a bad deal.

Okay, sure, it'll draft some text in minutes. You then have to review it in detail to see if it's actually what you intended, which takes at least an order of magnitude longer. You then have to validate if the idea you came up with in seconds or minutes is actually a good idea. Have you thought about second order effects? Have you considered alternatives? Have other people reviewed the ideas? Are you going to get buy-in from everyone else involved?

If you're not doing those things, then you're just generating low-quality slop which wastes other people's time, or worse, gets rubber stamped and creates a real mess. Just slopping out more regulations faster is not a good goal.

If you DO do those things, then the LLM has helped you shave some time off of a small portion of a much larger process. It's a useful tool for that, but let's be realistic about what the actual gains are.

"likely to push printing toward cloud-locked, subscription-based systems"

And there we have the real reason for passing this law.
