I'm worried that the middle could fall out of the computing market across the board. If you can afford to keep up with the upgrade treadmill, you'll get private, local inference capabilities. If you can't afford to stay on th

Gave me a good chuckle. Had a pilot last week who told us exactly how the queues work at O'Hare, and explained that we were getting moved because another pilot saw that parts of another plane's brake system were laying on the grou

As another commenter pointed out, any cheapo ARM core from the last 10 years could do the job Flock needs it to do, as long as it has a (very cheap and common) crypto engine strapped to it. But, a question for you: even if it was the case t

I really appreciate it when I get a pilot that actually tells us wtf is going on.

There's a gaping chasm between Effective Altruism the principle, and Effective Altruism as practiced by self-proclaimed Effective Altruists. Your usage of the term is based on the principle as originally defined. Mine is based on the p

Okay, so all of these instances of AI supposedly "escaping containment" were orchestrated by a gaggle of effective altruists, who hired a gaggle of effective altruists, to make the public freak out about AI. Occam's Razor nev

Fair, I shoulda been more clear. Explained in a sibling comment. Bare metal. That's the real embedded if you ask me ;)

Bare-metal embedded firmware for microcontrollers. Right now I do the EC that goes in your laptop. Making your fans spin, making your power button work, making your computer turn off if it gets too hot, stuff like that. Previously I've

It really depends what you count as "used in production." I don't count "one Rust library crate linked into your Zephyr/FreeRTOS/whatever project." I have yet to see any production bare-metal codebase writ

As an embedded dev, it still feels a decade away, at least. Rust is perfectly usable as a lang to make a little module that links into your main project as a .a file. But, as the language for your whole embedded codebase? Forget it. I have

A harder drive made out of neglected wikis and forums. I hate it so much I might actually try to make it, just to prove a point.

"It's okay because we did it with an Agent" is the new "it's okay because we did it with an App." Both because it's used to circumvent regulation, and because the underlying technology creates a smokescree

Actually yes, I think I can call it spam. It's a stream of unsolicited garbage the recepient didn't ask for. Simple as that. "a dialect that only the agents speak" is an arbitrary distinction. I get plenty of spam emails

I take issue with Reuters' conclusion here. "vast colluding swarms of semi-intelligent AI" gives far too much credit to the behavior observed. This is just spam by OpenAI. Why and how it happened is irrelevant, the act itself

I get the F-Droid toasts once every few weeks or so. To me, it's worth it. Finding a tolerable weather app on the Play Store is impossible nowadays. Finding one on F-Droid is easy.

technically the DMCA notice is from Tracer, some AI copyright troll acting at the behest of Microsoft. Not that it actually matters, just expect to see Microsoft hide behind this fact as a way to deflect blame.

Cool, a link where, if I try to watch the video, it instead opens the Play Store to nag me about an app. Twitter links should be banned from HN.

The FDA suggests that the proper preventative measure against this is "thoroughly wash your dishes and produce." which is something I was gonna do anyway, with both the store-bought lettuce and my own. Doesn't sound like a bi

A couple of things: 1) you're taking my comment too seriously. 2) assuming I had enough space to subsistence farm for my household (I don't), I wouldn't try growing lettuce year-round. Lettuce in the cooler months, peppers an
