I wouldn't put a random number generator to command a bulldozer inputs, which is the risk you mention about giving an AI instance command of something that can interact with the real world.
That doesn't mean that an AI left to itself in a computer plugged to internet is inherently a risk.
I think you have bought into the narrative they want to sell you.
LLMs are devoid of any kind of intelligenceor awareness.
Intel had a monopoly on bleeding edge cpu for a long time until they got stuck on 14nm for years, allowing TSMC to catch up and providing AMD the means to compete.
In a the best of timelines, intel, tsmc and samsung (and glofo maybe?) Would all have competitive fab nodes.
That goes away if you set them in filmaker mode.
No, qd-oled is still best, LG is closing the gap with tandem oled but is still the second best panel tech.
A power converter I designed 3 years ago needs redesigning because the company that made the transistors was bought out and all their packages were phased out. And they were some fucking good packages that allowed for very good cooling and very easy parallelling of transistors using both sides of the PCB.
A nuke in LEO would make the environment so radioactive for some time to fry every single satellite that crosses the lower van allen belt. After some time (months, may be a few years) radiation goes back to normal levels and you can launch satellites again.
Fun fact, the first nuke in space had a lot of people very nervous as it was thought that making satellites impossible forever was a possibility, and quite a few did fail due to the nuke.
Think that the sky is one nuke away from being 100% clean at any given time.
Making them? Not in the least. But being capable of making them? It's a must, be it gloves, EVs, semis, or screws.
I thought it was limpet teeth
Tough week for euros. Cars that record your face while driving and now apps snooping on communications.
My bet would be some lucky photons that end up heading to outer space from some window. Hahaha
Very cool project.
A great advice one gets at around minute 9 is to place footprints for anything you consider remotely possible or that you'd like to test. You can always leave them unpopulated and the tradeoff between area lost and time lost is usually worth the area, especially in the first iterations of a pcb.
One could argue that it is 100% as every Watt that enters through the socket (not counting reactive energy) is going to become heat at some point in the very near future, including the air moved by fans, the photons emitted by the screen, etc etc.
For small stuff, sure. For something with more components I don't think it's ever gonna be useful. Routing a pcb is an np-hard problem and, imho, no AI has enough actual thinking capability to make a good job out of it.
Cool project and cool crt monitor
Who sets it, then? The people that can make money out of the satellites or use their services or the people that want clean skies?
And how do you enforce it? It's not like you can just go up there an repo the satellites.
I'd even say it's superior to cow milk altogether.
There are issues everywhere. Companies that had their cables deployed made sure that any regulation that would eliminate that moat heavily favor them, either by forbidding other companies to deploy and forcing them to lease the already deployed infra or by forbidding them digging ir whatever bullshit.
Very few companies wanna get into deploying their own network (both in the states and europe), but the few that do make money out of it. I would be really surprised if Switzerland is any different.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh...
Seriously, this playing with living organisms to augment their capabilities and make them do our bidding is a bit beyond my personal moral threshold. At this point isn't easier to miniaturize a robot cocroach?
To note, we are already solving our problems through genetic engineering... Only one generation at a time.
We should not change body parts of persons that are not capable of consenting to that. Why not wait until someone is capable of taking those decisions by themself instead of imposing them and on top of that risking their health while doing so?
At some point we need to accept that in a relfrespecting society health and free will must prevail over any practice that infringes on them.
This graph is the touchstone one should rub all the "RAM and storage are no longer a commodity" bs that micron, sk hynix, samsung, western digital, seagate and others are peddling as of late while the valuation of their companies have gone from "supplier of widely available fungible goods" to "state-of-the-art moat AI backbone tecnology".
You can track the human diaspora throughout the world by the times megafauna went extinct in a area and massive wildfires left the area devoid of trees.
There's nothing people run out of faster than other people's money. I expect this second half of the year we see that the cracks in the AI business grow and bring the whole thing down.
Just a bit after anthropic and openAI unload the "value" of their companies into retail investors.
Several distros have gone XLibre as their default display manager. I installed Artix on a bc-250 just last week and XLibre was the default there.
Engraved deep down in our primitive brain is the profound fear of high grass and forestry, which conceal bears, wolves, snakes, ticks and a lot of other dangers.
Thus, we have the natural inclination to raze it all and leave a very flat grass surface where no animal goes unnoticed.
This ends up translating into modern lawns a few hundreds of centuries later.
I honestly don't know how sap is still in business. ARM is a good one.
ASML licenses their IPs from the american government. But yeah, they are in europe and work with european suppliers.
And people wonder why there are zero companies in europe competing with american ones in the tech sector...
