I use revolut on a stock pixel 9, have been considering Graphene, but im worried about stuff like:

This type of post is why I come to hackernews. Up until now I've been depressed that we don't have a proper "Linux" phone os, but your explanation has properly laid bare the reason why that's a bad idea.

You've given me hope for the future!

The world is greener now than in the 1980s according to NASA:

Now does that translate to better crops? I don't know, but humans will do whatever it takes to adapt, so we really need to stop with the climate scaremongering.

> Why is this statistic relevant?

More people, low wages, no taxes, no infrastructure for said people.

So very relevant, no?

I think it's even worse than that. If at some remote possibility that a criminal does get caught and charged with a crime, the prisons are full (37% foreign criminals [0]) so they won't do any prison time, and therefore no justice is served. In fact our prisons are so full, violent criminals are being let out after serving only their half term [1].

This is an area I hope AI will help. A locally running AI (of my choosing) will filter the crap online - Ads and beheadings.

> No it did not. Online right wing is trying to push narrative that is all.

It's sad that people don't see what's so obviously happening in the uk. Censorship is alive and well in the uk, and there are plans afoot to further the control of the online world.

A fellow Ashens fan!

They are not the same! The cacao differences between the two basically means the uk version tastes great, and the US one tastes like my socks.

Coming from the PC games industry in the 90s and early 2000s, it was a struggle to run some of the games on release. 90%* of people wouldn't be able to play the AAA games on release (think Crysis, etc). This period of local LLMs reminds me of that time, whereby the hardware just isn't there yet. Give it time, and the prices will drop.

It's only just become available for ARM, so I doubt there's much information out there yet.

Just a heads up, proxmox now supports ARM, so with the authors setup, it could potentially run Proxmox along with LXC for containers.

LXC does provide a security boundary, more than Docker but less than a full blown VM.

Especially introverts! When I've been on calls all day long I'm wiped out.

Talking to a machine has the same effect on me.

1. Of course it is. That is how models are built. They are not always correct of course, but it's the best we have.

2. We need to choose the cheapest energy option at the time. If renewables are cheaper then great, but making the poor even poorer to make is rich people feel better is not a good solution.

3. The consequences of making the world poorer is more people will die from climate related disasters.

You guys see ads on YouTube?

Brave browser is a thing by the way.

The statistics for the number of deaths from climate-based disasters is clear: fewer and fewer people are dying the richer the world becomes. In fact the decrease in deaths is very significant:

"Annual climate-disaster deaths averaged around 77,000 per year in the 1960s–70s, dropped to about 33,000/year in the 1980s–90s, and fell further to roughly 27,000/year in 2000–2019 even as the number of recorded climate disasters rose from about 1,171 to 3,656 to 6,641 across those same periods."

If you're optimising for human life, then "drill baby drill", as more energy = more wealth. More wealth = better infrastructure, health care, dealing with extreme weather conditions.

This is what I've been focusing on. Writing good user stories, defining the definition of "done", acceptance testing. Thinking about the high level design decisions. Never thinking about how I'm going to implement feature X is honestly a breath of fresh air.

I've been writing code for nearly 30 years, and I'm done.

I'm not sure to be fair, but they do have constant "token anxiety", which I simply don't have anymore since using v4 flash.

Indeed. My fellow software engineers keep complaining about using up all their Claude tokens within an hour... Whilst I'll be rocking DS flash for the entire day. Sure it gets a few things wrong here and there, but that's when you pull out the Claude models or whatever for those tricky tasks.

Ah thankyou I missed that, good to hear.

No mention of whether the robot's models run locally or in the cloud. Ie. Does it require an internet connection?

For a robot to be in my house it would have to run locally, there's no way I'm allowing one that runs in the cloud to operate my washing machine for example.

Yes but someone who has access to that kind of hardware can distill down to a smaller model that is specialised for a specific task. I don't need my local model to be an oracle for everything, I want a coding AI, one that knows medicine, another that recognises objects in my security camera, etc.

> "I just don’t want to use Docker for development – if your dependencies are so sprawling that you’ve lost track of how to install them on a new machine, why do you have so many?"

I mean, there's a perfectly good solution for many of the security issues mentioned in the article... But it is dismissed because the author just doesn't "want to"?

By the way, LXC is probably better suited for reproducible build/development environments, over Docker.

> Did leaving the EU actually fixed anything for the UK?

Yes - it fixed the attribution of our problems. Politicians, leaders, judges, etc will find it harder to "blame the EU" - when then blame is squarely on them.

This will then have an effect during voting.

Here in the UK, a large proportion of the population still think the EU is a good idea... Despite all the evidence proving otherwise.

> Reading this made me remember why I stopped playing my Xbox One: never-ending updates.

My experience with Steam is very similar (I don't have it run on startup because I like my PC to do other things from playing games).

Online updates really have ruined gaming for a lot of people.

Just like vinyl, humans seem to prefer a physical "thing" they pick up - put in the machine - and instantly have access to the "thing". It's simple, predictable, fixable (generally) and swapable. The digital revolution is not what we had hoped for...

Honestly I've seen google maps suggest some absurd routes, especially to avoid 1 minute of traffic on the motorway.

Always best to double check the routing suggestion.

Probably Proxmox. Veeam support is relatively new.

Sort of like how ants in a colony produce a working "society" that no individual ant could muster.

Instead of openrouter (which is admittedly a good service) I've switched to EU only servers via https://cortecs.ai/

If you hunt in the settings you can restrict your account to only use EU servers for inference... Which means you can't use a lot of the US frontier models, but you can use all the Chinese ones, albeit within EU GDPR, etc.

This to me is a good compromise between privacy and cost.
