I bought this one last month when it was on sale for $39: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BRK3CYY3
Haven't deployed it yet, but it's fully supported by OpenWRT. I would only be using it as an access point, though. My router is a USFF Optiplex with an extra NIC and runs OpenWRT.
I am probably the wrong person to answer, but I usually just get a light buzz going and work on stuff around the house or yard.
Mowing the yard, pulling weeds, or working in the garden with a light buzz is pretty darn relaxing to me lol. Doing the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, cleaning the bathroom? None of those are particularly fun but are necessary and greatly improved by having a light buzz.
On the rare occasion I accidentally get too buzzed and end up glued to the couch, the dogs are more than happy to take advantage and receive lots of pets and lap time.
A Ferengi ship? Interesting choice!
TIL that I've always been looking at them backwards. I always thought the curved section was the front.
Ooh, yeah. I always forget about the circular nacelles on Vulcan ships. They do have a certain elegance to them.
It's not an "or" situation. It is and always has been an "and".
My gripe is with people refusing to do anything on a personal level because "what does it matter when X industry pollutes more in 5 minutes than I do in a year?".
I get what you're saying and the "individual carbon footprint" is often used to blame shift to regular people just living their lives, but we do still have a carbon footprint. It may be a tiny, rodent-sized footprint compared to the Kaiju-sized ones of big industries, but our actions and choices do have an effect (especially collectively).
I just don't like dismissing the individual carbon footprint as total propaganda because it's not wrong (though I acknowledge it is abused). Dismissing it like that just puts out a defeatist "nothing I do matters" message when our individual choices do matter and add up.
Can you live a totally carbon-neutral life in the modern age? No, probably not. But we also shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater and do nothing.
Yep, that's the one.
I'll reserve a phone but not a truck, lol. Looks like those are scheduled to be out late 2026, so probably at least next year before I can even think about getting my hands on one.
At least it's still a thing.
I used to drive a 2004 Ranger and loved it. Would absolutely love an EV version even if the range isn't super great. Mostly need a truck occasionally and for hauling stuff from the home improvement store or if I find furniture at a garage sale or something.
Need to check and see if that $20,000 no-frills EV truck is making any progress.
Disclaimer: : All of my LLM experience is with local models in Ollama on extremely modest hardware (an old laptop with NVidia graphics) , so I can't speak for the technical reasons the context window isn't infinite or at least larger on the big player's models. My understanding is that the context window is basically its short term memory. In humans, short term memory is also fairly limited in capacity. But unlike humans, the LLM can't really see (or hold) the big picture in its mind.
But yeah, all you said is correct. Expanding on that, if you try to get it to generate something long-form, such as a novel, it's basically just generating infinite chapters using the previous chapter (or as much of the history fits into its context window) as reference for the next. This means, at minimum, it's going to be full of plot holes and will never reach a conclusion unless explicitly directed to wrap things up. And, again, given the limited context window, the ending will be full of plot holes and essentially based only on the previous chapter or two.
It's funny because I recently found an old backup drive from high school with some half-written Jurassic Park fan fiction on it, so I tasked an LLM with fleshing it out, mostly for shits and giggles. The result is pure slop that seems like it's building to something and ultimately goes nowhere. The other funny thing is that it reads almost exactly like a season of Camp Cretaceous / Chaos Theory (the animated kids JP series) and I now fully believe those are also LLM-generated.
If you're gonna repost stuff from ml at least re-upload it so I don't have to connect to it.
New U.S. rules will soon ban Chinese software in vehicle systems that connect to the cloud
Seems to me that the easiest way to get into compliance would be to not make the car connect to the cloud/internet. I'm gonna drive my 2017 model until I can buy a new car that isn't a smartphone on wheels.
That's what I've done for years. Makes managing things much easier, and I run multiple APs (all with the same SSID/PSK) and you can just roam to the best one. One upstairs, one downstairs, one in the weird dead zone in my office, and one on the back patio (it's not hardwired and uses the mesh connection for uplink).
These are all old Aruba APs running OpenWRT but that's the plan for this Cudy Model. I may pick up a few more and just replace all of my trusty but very old Arubas.
