Chinese clones of Arduinos are normally between 3x-6x cheaper, and if your project uses dozens or hundreds or thousands of them, especially in developing countries, that's a major price delta.

1. There are accounts on here that have LLMs responding for them.

2. The sentence is the exact type of structure a LLM writes :/ It's unfortunate.

Isn't that every major AI company?

Should make you "happy" to see that Nvidia's new safety feature-set might prevent you from running open models in the newr future, then...

Did Claude write this?

Take a trip to Alaska, northern BC, Norway, etc.

There's a particular observatory in Hawaii that is supposed to be amazing.

I'm sure there's plenty of other spots!

See my response to the above comment

Yes, and have.

"During a test conducted by Trail of Bits researcher Artem Dinaburg, a preview version of GPT 5.6-Cyber was tasked with breaking out of a Debian 12 virtual machine. Initially, the agent exploited a known Linux kernel vulnerability, CVE-2026-53359, by developing its own exploit. After the host was updated, the agent found another pathway through libslirp, chaining a known vulnerability (CVE-2026-9539) with a previously unassigned bug to gain arbitrary host memory access. Even after QEMU and libslirp were updated, the agent analyzed system components and constructed a new escape chain using three zero-day vulnerabilities and one KVM flaw that had not yet reached the distribution kernel.

These findings suggest that general-purpose VMs may not be adequate security boundaries for highly capable AI agents, especially in older systems with delayed security updates. Trail of Bits recommends using specialized isolation systems like Firecracker, restricting VM access, and implementing rapid patching to mitigate these risks."

> How would it help them? The real competition is coming from China

I mean, sure, you think that and I know that many others do too.

It's Anthropic and OpenAI mainly competing for who gets used by the US government and possibly any US business that does any contracting work, while many others get banned. So basically, Fortune 500+.

There is also a non-zero possibility that the US Gov nationalizes the entire industry and then starts directly throwing Trillions USD into it in the name of "national security". Low % chance, but I can see it happening. Or at least the Fed Gov taking a controlling ownership stake.

It's also possible that the US Federal Government forces NVidia to outright prevent open models via: https://venturebeat.com/infrastructure/nvidias-openshell-con...

*correction/clarity: should say "in half the amount of time."

Yes there was.

"In September 2014, the United States began to undertake efforts to establish a global coalition with the declared aim of countering the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.[26] Since September 2014, the U.S. had conducted military operations in Syria, primarily against ISIL forces as part of Operation Inherent Resolve."

> > US forces leave country where 4,500 of them died in worst US war of 21st century

> I am not even certain that this war was worse than the Afghanistan war

The Iraq war from 2003-2011 (8-9 yr) had twice as many US troop deaths (4430) as the Afghanistan war (~20 yr)(2450) in double the amount of time.

But the server is attached to the channel, and communities form around them.

Not necessarily, it could help potential competitors or financers to better understand the market / competition.

That would quickly get abused and cartels would form over the larger servers about who has access and where.

Yeah, that's how industrial control and operational networks get breached virtually every day in the US.

Production facilities, water treatment plants, power plants, etc... (wish I was joking)

JumpCloud seems to support:

Amazon Linux

Debian

Fedora

Linux Mint

Oracle Linux

PopOS

RHEL

Rocky Linux

Ubuntu

(May work on others)

> but they are literally trying to build a superpower that exceeds the impact of the atomic bomb

Yes, it's a Great Power competition right now, much like the Space Race, Atomic Bomb, etc.

I ran a couple of very local BBSes late beyond the hayday in the 14.4-56k timeframe. That got me into BBS software, which got me into ANSI Art, which got me into associations with warez groups, and that got me into association with various hacker collectives. Had it not been for the BBS scene I probably wouldn't work in technology today.

I'd love to read it when you're done!

> Oracle seems to be doing their best to expedite their own crushing.

Ehhhhhh maybe https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/ORCL

As much as I'd like to believe this, they have their ways of making money.

> I've been thinking about this quite a lot recently as I've been trying to dig up information about 90's era dial-up bulletin board systems. It was a scene I was deeply immersed in at the time (or at least, one specific niche within it)

Say more!

I would have never suspected that one tbh.

Damn

How do people even write anything anymore? I would be so afraid of writing something that someone would suggest I wrote with AI. Reason being, I guess, is that I'm just so surrounded with it and US corporate speak that I rarely notice it anymore.

> Most teachers have 14-16 weeks a year off. That alone is a tough counter argument to surmount.

Teachers in my district take extra work for the district doing maintenance and tutoring and drive doordash to pay their bills during that time.

> Teachers are not underpaid.

A teacher with 20yr of experience in my district makes $5,000-$10,000 less than the state median wage.

And their retirement actually sucks.

> We're early on in the LLM era, so I have hope that it can crush Oracle's business model.

They're a hypercloud provider now. It may be awhile.

> I don’t believe that they are truly concerned about much beyond their own self interests.

They believe it's real and they MUST be the ones to control it. That's how they keep their self-interests aligned.

> either liars

They're CEOs of tech companies with insane valuations

> or homicidally reckless

They're CEOs of bleeding edge tech companies with huge capital and military applications

>So, they're either liars or homicidally reckless.

Yes!

> the fact that an LLM can't even manage to check the status of an order without weird issues makes the notion that it's going to go all SKYNET pretty hard to fit in the brain

I think this actually makes it far more likely something unintended does happen
