more likely big tech and the oligarchs.

(The name of my next punk band.)


You restated his point less succinctly.

Good name for a punk band though.


more likely, investment bankers class and war profiteers with their friends!

Why not all three?

Somebody should these track these people down, and say to them:

Nice insider trading scam you have going. Be a shame if something happened to you.

Then defenetrate them.


If IMF thinks AI is going to be the answer, I would agree with it if we use AI to

Uncover financial fraud

Ripping apart layers of shell corporations

Identifying tax evasion strategies and who is using them

The hard part will be getting anybody to care and act on it.


How is this different from lxd/lxc? How tied is this to kvm or could it work with other hypervisors like xcp-ng, VMware, or virtual box?

lxc/lxd are ~container managers, the kernel is still shared like docker containers. It runs on linux & needs to run in a linux virtual machine on macOS.

smolvm is a virtual machine with the ergonomics of containers like packaging and distributing, kernel is not shared. You'd run containers inside of smolvm.

Also, smolvm runs ontop of both kvm for linux and apple's hypervisor for macOS. So it's cross platform.


Now let's talk about the 155mm artillery shells

I think people were surprised to suddenly have a lot of demand for those.

Sure. Heavy industry. It's important. Maybe don't send it all to Asia because it's dirtier than software and finance.

Are you thinking of 100mhz (3m)?

Sending data by radio is messy, slow, and generally disappointing. Start your journey by reading up on the Aloha system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALOHAnet.


My apologies, I meant 10m (28 MHz). Brain fart. It’s slow but it’s more than adequate for text, and range is excellent (hundreds of miles).

The addition of batteries as an intermittent power source brings us closer to 100% renewable energy and allows us to incrementally decommission dirty plants, such as coal- and oil-fired plants.

The design goal of adding a battery to grid power sources is to capture energy that would otherwise be lost when demand is lower than generation. In addition to capturing excess production of wind or solar-derived energy, one could capture unused energy from our current baseload generating plants overnight. We could also, this would also let us capture the energy that would otherwise be wasted by unnecessary nighttime lighting.


I know people like to make Matrix jokes about what the future of AGI would be like, but I suspect it would be more like the relationship between humans and Cheela in Dragon's Egg.

Back in 94, when I first started using speech recognition (Dragon Dictate, word-at-a-time recognition) I had a curious experience. I could feel the difference between speaking spoken speech and speaking written speech. Now I've been using speech recognition for so long, I now swap back and forth relatively easily. This ability to switch how I speak comes in handy when writing dialogue or a speech.

The end result is when speaking, I use a slightly more formal version of speech, and that helps me organize my thoughts on the fly in conversation. When speaking written speech, I speak more formally than I do in conversation, but the pacing and pattern is different. I think ahead of what I want to say and then try out 2 or 3 different forms before I actually say what I want into the recognition environment. Then I let Grammarly tell me how I'm an uneducated hick that don't speak good.


"Write like you want Grammarly to surprise you in a good way"

One could interpret the age verification operation must run for every command executed in interactive or non-interactive mode.


It sounds like you want to automate the invisible purposeless no-op. Is that allowed?


I was thinking ways to implement with malicious compliance
