   Yea the idea that the computers can truly think by mimicking our language really well doesn't make sense. But the algorithms are black box to me, so maybe there is some kind of launch pad to AGI within it

   Question is, will SD3 be downloadable? I downloaded and run the early SD locally and it is really great. Or did we lose Stable Diffusion to SAAS also? Like we did on many of the LLMs which started of so promising as for self hosting goes

   It is the easiest to assume the worst for sure, but Microsoft is not the same as the Bill Gates era so Im gonna be a cautious optimist on this one. Lets hope it is to promote Azure, and they dont push the OpenAI route when it comes too open

   Second Pascal -thing I've seen on front HN this week. Is it nostalgia or is it because it's useful and cool stuff even in 2024? I'm nostalgic about Pascal because it was my first real professional full-time payed programming

   Exactly this. It is unfortunately above my budget for items with certain near 100% shelf time, because this is a pretty exciting device to boast about owning. Especially after this news from the Canadians.

    Please let's make a downvote free thread for throwing jokes a round on this topic. We need this freedom for such a topic trending on HN. There is so much low hanging fruit and we're all thinking of several I suspect. My initial th

    Apologies for giving you the boring 'it depends', but it really does depend ALOT where you start off and what you wanna do. I can tell you my experience. If you start off with a stock Amiga finding off the attic you can pretty muc

    If you go after it and buy an Amiga, don't forget it is much about preserving a vintage computer at this point. And not just the computing/gaming or whatever you remember doing. I did this, and I'm not sure it was what I want

    fail2ban has calmed attacks (ssh dictionary mostly) from 100-1000s per day to about a dozen, on my private rpi thing. I assume most attackers are looking for low hanging fruit with little (cheap) effort.

    I care alot about the local impact of lower speed; less noise, road wear and tire wear generating unhealthy stuff in the air and water. Driving slowly sucks, and I assume has costs like lost productivity. But the public good of lower speed
