10 years of idle time in 10 years. Did you just like leave a computer switched on for 10 years while you took up farming?

How often did you catch it disappearing?

I’ve been using AWS R53 for this for ages and it works well. Not specifically recommending AWS but using dynamic updates rather than a DDNS service (or running your own name server which I’ve also done).

It’s in the article:

This swapping is powered by an OpenType feature called “contextual alternates,” which is widely supported by both operating systems and browser engines.

Light vs dark adapted. In bright light, the best wavelength is longer.

From that source:

At threshold sensitivity, the human eye can detect the presence of about 100-150 photons of blue-green light (500 nanometers) entering the pupil.

So I guess either blue or green leds are good for this application, and green much cheaper…

It’s a great analysis, and I don’t disagree with anything you said (mostly because you’re better informed than I am). But you nailed it with “Why would I need this? I don’t know yet.” It should all be driven by need—the fact their are more options is great, but doesn’t mean they should be used just because they’re there… For many hobbyists, ease of access and speed to get started is the main driver, and for those cases, pre-built boards are the answer.

I remember talking to a car manufacturer in the early 2000s who said it would be relatively easy to make cars to a custom length / load space. But they tend to make specific models because if you give people too much choice, they get paralysed and don’t choose anything.

I suspect it’s not quite that simple but the principle seems sound.

I’ve also find mpv about a thousand times faster to start up.

An AI-written article from early 2019?

Yes, the date could be fake. But there’s also a reason the AIs write the way they do…

Yea, and yes :). We had a large old fig tree in SW France. It was fascinating and I swear they did get drunk (but not, in all, honesty that fighty).

“Starlink was not meant to be involved in wars. It was so people can watch Netflix and chill and get online for school and do good peaceful things, not drone strikes.”

Until they’ve had a drink. A few glasses of that fermented fig juice and they think they’re all Bald Faced Hornets.

Not sure if this helps, as I’m not 100% certain how I set this up (it was too long ago), but by giving my rpi a hostname I can simply use ‘pizero.local’ from my desktop machine. I don’t run a DNS server per se but maybe look into that kind of dhcp / dns option?

In fact, see this for some similar hyperbole and sentiment.

Definitely LLMs have been over promised and/or misrepresented in mainstream media, but even in the last few months their utility is increasing. I’m a big advocate of finding ways to use them to enhance people (thinking partner not replacement for thinking). They are most certainly a tool, and you need to know their limitations and how to use them.

From experience working with naive end users, they are anthropomorphising based on how the models have been reported and that’s definitely not helpful.

As the models get more and more capable (and I’m pretty happy to make that prediction), will they reach a point where they are indistinguishable from the output of a real person? That will give us some challenges. But the interesting thing for me is that when that happens, and the AI can write that report you were paying someone to write, what was the point of the report? You could argue they were some kind of terrible UBI and we’ll end up with just the pointless output without the marginal benefit of someone’s livelihood. That needs a bigger rethink.

Better for one obscure use case? Or just ‘better’? That’s the real issue here. OpenAI have an agenda (publicly, a helpful assistant, privately, who knows…). They’re not really interested in a system that can identify prime numbers.

Ok, I’m not going to go point by point, as this is getting too long. All I’d say is remember where the model for ML came from (McCulloch & Pitts), and that this is the worst AI will ever be.

If this is truly a jump across S-curves in utility, it’s bound to be slightly worse than other methods to begin with. Many of the arguments against the current approach sound like the owners of a hot air balloon business arguing with the Wright brothers.

Yes, just remember to wash your hands 93% more.

I have also invented double-sided paper which holds vastly more information.
