I slept in my first computer - and worked as verbal RAM (first VRAM!) 28 hours a day !

"..and when you tell this to young people today, they won't believe you !" - Monty Python.

Likes, that are maybe not integrated in NixOs ?: Scheme and elisp, are both lisp, and while It looks shit to start with, I'm coming around to it. Lisp is a clever language imho, so I like it as a configuration language (scheme). Emacs looks almost like a natural extension of Guix, and I'm finally starting playing with it. I feel that every little corner of the Guix have been designed for a purpose from the ground up. Repo is curated with floss goodness, and flatpak for the rest. I like the simplicity and 'order' of it all. Ah, the system installer is shaky, but..

I find guix as both a system and package manager easy and very powerful out of the box. I've had other systems/package managers for many years without using as many build-in features as now.

Besides std Guix, there are 2 spinoffs, pantherx that is supposed to be more enduser polished and rdb that are Guix+Emacs in a love relationship I think. Not sure, but you can check it out.

Maybe NixOS would do the same, but I've never been 'giddy' about a new distribution before, so I I'm just happy I found my new permanent distro. Not leaving.

No, "Capitalism" is Destroying a Generation of Students. It is destroying jobs and most other existential problems come from that belief system, but AI - for now - is a tool.

Only in a terrible environments with psychopath behavior, does it do harm. Unfortunately, that describes 99% of all leadership under Capitalism. It has always and will always be powerful people misusing tools/tech for their own individual benefit. That is what 'free competition' allows to happen. Live with it, or complain about Capitalism instead.

I don't think he have calculated practicality or energy use yet, but for a theoretical/philosophical exploration of Portals, you'll need to go to: https://www.youtube.com/@optozorax_en/videos

I don't know, but allow me a soft rant about the 'distributed' part;

Couldn't selfhosters try to 'organize' and share these burdens ? Why pay for external cloud backup, or anything, when selfhosters can just help each other storing parts of others backup. Then everyone have an automatic back-up.

The tools seem to be there, but Its like there are all these super-skilled infra-structure selfhosters that know everything about self-hosting solutions, but they lack the self-organizing ability to sollve these typical - and a bit trivial, lets be honest - problems in a full p2p style. The result looks to be that all self-hostings solution above the threshold of an average individual selhoster, have to be done in the cloud, and everyone is 'siloed' in their own mini data center.

But, with existing tools, AI and a little imagination, it shouldn't be too hard to 'organize' a little (though here) design a self-hosting p2p backup solution from existing tools. ..or a solution for most of the other cloud services we still rely on..

But maybe its something else ? ..to me, it just seems unnecessary for a high expertise self-hoster community that - when combined - are an absolute gargantuan cloud-service infrastructure ..to still have such basic capacity issues (no offense meant to op, or anyone!), and still have so high reliance on cloud services. Seems odd to me..

What a Rebel ! I mean, who says Arms can't have a rib cage ?!? Go dude, break the SYSTEM !!

Same processor as in the Orangepi 5b.

1. Weird that they don't promote the 3core NPU it contains. The phone will be able to run a 8b model, or image/audio models quite okay. Larger models will be too slow.
2. Another luxury-priced Linux phone. They have to cover their expenses, and there's a nice screen/cams, but the price difference from an Orangepi or similar sbc with an 3588s, to this product is way too big for my pocket. It's around 5* the price for the compute.

It should be possible to have a small portable touch-monitor as UX, and a small sbc/battery in a pocket. Or just stream a remote screen to the touch-monitor. Would prefer such a clunky solution to be honest.

disroot.org have all but backup, I think. You have to give a little for larger storage etc, but check them out, they have the right spirit.

I don't value these papers very highly. Before they are even published/peer reviewed, the landscape have changed. Models get better quickly, agentic frameworks too, and their code even more. But good to have a ball-park measurement tho.

If we see what is coming from the latest papers, ('discover ai' on the tube), we have only scratched the surface of how this is going to pan out. Buckle up..

Paywalled, so thanks for archive !

Interesting, but unfortunately, they don't reveal the interesting part on how they are going to radiate away that amount of heat from a low working temperature of ~80+/- C. I would assume they have to concentrate the heat with heat pumps, into a very high point-temp with higher radiation efficiency. But that also cost energy and create heat, so the heat balance in space can be tricky.

I think it is unethical to pay (or demand payment) for things that can be copied freely. It's a joke, insanity, a depraved legacy/necessity from the Blue Church.
