Will we see people being paid to host small single-GPU servers in their home ? I guess that would require redesigning the training system because the data transfer speed would be much slower with a higher latency. Maybe that is not even compatible with LLM training ?

FreeCAD 5 months ago

A very powerful feature of FreeCAD is its Python console. It is very useful when debugging software that uses/produces 3D solids. With it I was able to:

- colorise solid faces with random colors

- colorise faces by type (cylinder, plane, etc.)

- add 3D labels in the scene

The pinephone hardware feels like a prototype due to the old A20 cpu (heat problems, poor battery life).

The lesser-known SHIFT6mq has an actual mobile chip and apparently works correctly as a phone under postmarketOS (only GPS, NFC and Camera missing): https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/SHIFT_SHIFT6mq_(shift-axo.... There are pointers on the wiki to hack on the camera if you want to help the cause.

The Fairphone 5 is another good candidate for hacking: calls and camera are not working: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Fairphone_5_(fairphone-fp...
