I could see the usefulness of saying, “hey I saw this on my phone a few days ago, which site was it?”

To answer my own pondering. We could feed your browsing history to a local LLM, it could fetch a synopsis of the site and be able to answer that question very easily.

This wouldn’t require a really powerful AI model, combine this with desktop search and you have close to what MS is offering.

Ok, so my next question would be, is this a problem that needs solving?

At a long time Linux user, I’m wondering if it is useful enough to look into an open and trustworthy solution to give this a go.

Thanks.

Looks like there are a lot of extras available. I’ll only get one if a really good deal shows up. But it’s good to know that it is somewhat hackable.

Can you expand on the openness aspect a bit.

I got the Boox Note 3 a few years ago, because it runs Android and I could install Syncthing on it.

I didn’t realize that the remarkable was able to be accessed.

Can you install whatever you want?

He’s ideas were interesting.

But practically, he didn’t have a method to transport power without wires.

Yes, running wires is difficult. But trying to transmit power is staggeringly inefficient.

There is a massive profit motive, especially for trucking companies.

When there is enough money tho be made, it will be implemented.

That may not be the way.

But don’t forget, all advances are cumulative.

The same way we do.

Slow down; drive by feel; look to the sides for trees, sign posts, other markers, knowing the roads.

Self driving cars.

We are on the early stages currently; ignore what Tesla/musk says; in 10 - 20 years full level 5 autonomy will be common place.

In the 80’s the Cray 1 supercomputer was made, now I have so much more computer power in my pocket its frankly ridiculous. And it’s runs on milliwatts rather than kilowatts.

I think they were referring to a different Linus

That doesn’t really make much sense.

My lack of FOMO I generally ascribe to my aphantasia.

I also don’t feel nostalgia. I get that others do, but I am a forward looking type, and am quite optimistic.

Other than pulp fiction, I don’t rate any of his movies.

That is probably good practice.

But your cable SHOULD be rated to run at 100% continuously, if it is not, then the rating is wrong.

It just means that you can run industrial gear; maybe was owned by a keen potter previously. Big kilns need 3 phase power. No it isn’t common for domestic, but I have a few friends with big shed that have 3 phase power for machining tools.

Depending on what capacity the supply has; e.g. if you have a smallish 80A supply you can run a a good sized CNC mill in you shed.

What breakers are there to protect is the cable in your wall.

The cable should be rated to run at 100% load continuously (with some safety factor for running a little more); depending on the breaker rating and curve (usually C curve in New Zealand for domestic).

So a C20 breaker can supply 120A for 1s before protecting the circuit; this allows for starting motors.

Now a breaker is different from an RCD which measures the difference between the phase and neutral lines. If the difference is too high the circuit trips. This is to protect the fleshy thing holding the knife in the toaster.

Education is totally the way, but while the education is happening, a little protection from the world is warranted.

I also understand that he will likely, figure a way around the controls I put on.

But that is part of the education.

I use them all the time, it has its place…but people tend to overuse them.

Nothing worse than someone sending me data as a fucken PDF file. Hey here is a table with a bunch of data, it is spread over multiple pages, and no you can’t get the data as a csv file. Because I want you to spend a lot of time verifying that the data has imported correctly.

I was just about to say that, tis a cursed format.

Agreed, the already has my old laptop which he uses at home sometimes.

I really just want to be able call him when he and his friends are away from the house.

But also have some apps like signal, and a chess game. The Wikipedia app… There really is a lot of good stuff available.

No social media, no unsupervised internet.
