I just went through T14 Gen 1 hell. I tried to replace a broken LCD and the system just wouldn't boot. I fussed with it so much, the flimsy case cracked and broke in several places. I gave up and decided to use it as a clamshell, but h

Is this not too much? HN or not, does this not demand the attention of everyone?

I'm currently running a Debian lite weight server on an old ml100 (onlogic) nuc. It's an old i3, with 16gb ram and no fan. But I have another. Anyone recommend a solid router setup on one of these ancient artifacts? Presently usin

Thanks for the name. I've only glanced so far, but I foresee reading more of his work.

So how do you think this situation will change now that LexisNexis, Oracle, Palantir, Clearview and others are all converging with our four frontier LLM models (plus military contracts) or directly with their own AI? What used to require a

I think you make excellent points and can't see anything I don't agree with. For me, there's no substitute for a proper book, especially being a bit of an eccentric learner. But certainly AAC could be a brilliant supplementar

I figure it's fair enough, since this is a great but not free book, to drop https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/ - a truly amazing, and in my opinion extraordinarily well written and organized free learning resource. Spec

My homebaked threat models predict exactly this. But I imagine there could be some financial style hiccups too, for sci-fi, perhaps something that ushers a CBDC as the solution. Stay tuned.... And remember FDIC cannot handle a large event.

Depends on specific purpose and values. And it's a simple installation away from empirical validation. Edit: one feature I'm fond of, when posting images on the Internet, is disabling exif data. I don't always want to put my

I'm not asking for confidence. Folks can use their own critical thinking and judgement. I expressed sincerity. Some concur, some don't. I'm not trying and will not try to please everyone. The current state of software is to s

Unable to afford a Google-free phone, I strictly use Moto, which with a bit of adb work and a lot of disabling shitware, gets close to actual Android. They also have excellent glass, aside from doing all I require of them. I see criticism o

I've been using open camera on android since 2019. It's far superior to anything I've seen natively installed on any device. It has a lot of options, which I suspect can be confusing to some, but they're worth familiariz

Just noting that I appreciate all the examples given here and by others, many of which made me feel a bit stupid and amnesic for asking my original question. I guess I have been over-focused on AI...

I could not argue with anything there. AI will be weaponized. Yes. Pretty much. And yeah. The gist indeed. But missing nuances and practical points. And I even struggle to contest your conclusion; all things are what they are, amidst an i

Things I should have, but didn't include: 1) Power asymmetry: When we have two version, one for the elite, and for the plebeians, this could create an interesting scenario. The real version might be red-teamed perpetually against the t

Fairy astute intuition of my actual circumstances. I'm not a developer, nor am I formally educated on the dynamics or details of LLMs. I have a handle on the very basics. My 'research' consists of 1) opportunistically interro

First, I personally predict, for myself, Anthropic will bend soon and this will be history. The last I commented about LLMs I was ad hominem'd with "schizophrenic" and such. That's annoying but doesn't deter either

Symptoms? Can you cite any? I'm interested. We already have curiosity, so you may skip that. But please elaborate. Note though, that so far, it's all been rather ad hominem and quite contrary to HN guidelines which encourage subs

I'm able to copy and paste entire sessions in Grok, GPT, Claude and Gemini. Just not in Perplexity. Again, as I've said elsewhere, try it. I've documented it in video, beyond all refutation. It is what it is, and I'm not

You seem pretty smart. If suddenly, after over a decade, schizophrenic artifacts appear in one single isolated subject, - a subject well known and documented with equal and greater concerns among highly credible sources - does that perhaps

Your concern has been noted. Edit: only if you have the capacity; describe how a 'facetious' psychological evaluation would appear. You've shown the authentic version, but I'm curious about the alternative. Thanks in adv

Meta awareness, repeatability, and much more strongly indicates this is deliberate training... in my perspective. It's not emergent. If it was, I'd be buggering off right now. Big big difference.

Exactly. And I have hundreds of examples of just that. Hence my fascination, awe and terror.....
