Has Mr. Gilmoure been around as long as me???

Nope ;-)

Companies not moving faster will be outcompeted.

Open source .. will win.

More female systems run automated systems. This is a long-standing association, from airport announcements to "Bitching Betty" in a fighter plane.

This is an extension of same, for better or worse.

I live in B.C. and applaud losing the time change, but think the choice of time zones going forward wasn't the best.

I'm expecting major buyer's remorse this winter when people realize that the sun sets at 5 in December and January, and doesn't rise until 9.

Younger generations gave up on radio because it sucks.

I'm gen X, and I despise radio so much that every time I've ever replaced a head unit, I've left the antenna disconnected. If radio was just music I could probably tolerate it, but I can't handle the ads and pretend DJ's.

For emergency purposes there are portable wind up radios in the emergency kits. Completely unused, in original packaging, because where I live the closest thing we have to natural disasters is winter storms that shut down the roads.

Astra is amazing.

My team supports 4x the infrastucture with 50% of the people with agents following human workflows.

They could literally clear all of the remaining Millennium problems and people would still be coping. This will happen.

Self reinforcement learning works, and it hasn't been about LLMs in a long time.

Hang on. Learn to hang drywall.

If running cgit is too expensive, disable it (or limit it to very shallow views). Developers can clone repositories and run cgit locally. Bots can clone repositories too if their owners think it's so important.

I've heard some pretty sad excuses for AI slop (Shunned at a Funeral) but some very clever uses for it too (Amelia). "The best thing the government did...was invent me!"

As long as they're honest about it being AI I'll decide what I want to listen to. It's hard for it to show any creativity, but creativity is sorely lacking in all current music.

you will need to convince people that civil liberties are more important than stopping crime

To be fair, most people think their civil liberties are more important than stopping their crime.

We just have trouble taking it beyond that point.

Freenet is also based on middle-out compression.

No. Trying to push 30TB into Freenet will be interpreted as an attack on the network by other peers and they'll disconnect from your peer.

Freenet is better viewed as a communication medium than a storage medium. Data is prioritized according to demand, somewhat like an LRU cache. You can't upload 30TB and expect the network to preserve it for you.

On liability, running a Freenet peer is more like running network infrastructure that automatically routes and caches other people's traffic than intentionally publishing it. US law explicitly recognizes this distinction in the DMCA's provisions for transitory network communications and system caching. We discuss this in more detail in the FAQ.

You obviously haven't tried Freenet. You can join our room on River and you'll see no spam, no fraud, no hate speech, none of that.

Decentralized doesn't mean unmoderated. Systems built on Freenet can be moderated however their creators and communities want. River is moderated.

The difference is that nobody running one service gets to decide what everyone else is allowed to run.

The cope has been nauseating.

It works. Everyone onboard now?

Now it's about how it scales and how we optimize use and lower release cycle time.

Everyone agonizing over token costs doesn't understand the exponential cost decay.. and how are you going to compete with hyperscalers who have essentially unlimited, near-free tokens.

Buckle up.
