Here's a video[1] of it to jog anyone's memory who saw and might not remember it.

There's probably a way you can just set it and forget it with overlayfs.

OpenWRT solved the problem of updates via immutable firmware image flashing while maintaining customizations 15 years ago using it.

What regular home workload are you thinking of that the computer I described is incapable of?

You can call a computer a calculator, but that doesn’t make it a calculator.

Can they run SOTA LLMs? No. Can they run smaller, yet still capable LLMs? Yes.

However, I don’t think that the ability to run SOTA LLMs is a reasonable expectation for “a computer in every home” just a few years into that software category even existing.

It's kind of funny to see "a computer in every home" invoked when we're talking about the equivalent of ~$100 buying a non-trivial percentage of all computational power in existence at the time of the quote. By the standards of that time, we don't just have a computer in every home, we have a supercomputer in every pocket.

You can have access to a supercomputer for pennies, internet access for very little money, and even an m4 Mac mini for $500. You can have a raspberry pi computer for even less. And buy a monitor for a couple hundred dollars.

I feel like you’re twisting the goalposts to make your point that it has to be local compute to have access to AI. Why does it need to be local?

Update: I take it back. You can get access to AI for free.

No it doesn't. The majority of people aren't trying to run Ollama on their personal computers.

People go to prison for market manipulation all of the time.

went to prison.

In the USA, nobody need ever go to prison for market manipulation anymore; they simply have to be able to pay the price necessary for a pardon. No logical consistency applies to the process.

We need to normalize tar & feathering again.

App stores are just worse package managers

No, the consoles should be open, too.

Works well on Linux, just toggle a checkmark in the settings.

Twitter went from being the heartbeat of the internet to X, the second Facebook for your parents to repost catturd2 posts and Pepe memes on.

> If a union member is facing discrimination at work, get them a lawyer for it.

As part of the policy of the current administration, the EEOC has dropped all cases related to LGBT discrimination in the hiring and the workplace[1] and is refusing to take new cases.

If you focused any effort on addressing that, I suspect someone who isn't even in the union would come out of the woodwork to say "that union shouldn't be addressing policy like that, it's divisive and what about everyone else?"

Union workers' rights and interests are impacted by policy that discriminates, pretending that isn't so doesn't get us anywhere.

Then vote and change things through voting.

Also, title ix still exists, civil court should take the case.

So? Not every organization has to take on every issue. And the idea that they must has been enormously damaging and kept us from having a lot of nice things.

Unions represent LGBT workers, of course they advocate on behalf of their members. It's quite literally why they exist.

Remember, unions are democratic organizations, they do what their members want. It turns out union members want comprehensive protections against discrimination in the workplace.

If the protection of workers' rights triggers someone, perhaps unions aren't for them and they'd be better off joining a club or something.
