I think TCP/IP-over-DNS has been done for getting free internet over paid Boingo hotspots in airports. Eventually free Wi-Fi became the standard and this is not a thing anymore. We have just progressed to fighting the in-flight free Wi

Clearly the solution is to just make Wi-Fi free by default. Once this is done, it becomes uninteresting to download gigabytes of crap to "hurt" people. Win-win for everyone. Just saying.

India's government is dirt poor in comparison to China's government. Clean energy is expensive. Both governments are actually very pro-clean-energy and more willing to deploy it, given the money, than a certain two ~80-year-old fa

Ask around if any of your friends have a 3D printer. For a one-off personal project that needs an RPi case most people with hobby printers would probably not mind. It costs pennies in materials, the only thing it uses is printer time, and h

Considering how much stuff it seems to want to support, I wonder how much software will actually support it correctly to specification. This seems like the USB-C of image file formats.

LLMs can be deterministic if you set the random seed and pin it to a certain version of the weights. My bigger concern would be bugs in the machine code would be very, very difficult to track down.
