I feel like this enables the dick putting in process.

Ah that makes so much more sense.

for “private reasons.”

That’s such funny phrasing. Why not say like a misguided effort to protect better against covid.

From experience, older thinkpads usually sell for cheap, come with an inbuilt monitor, and are built sturdy. Highly recommend.

There is actually a whole subsection of AI focused on training one model with the output of another called knowledge distillation.

And, idk how, but I ended up reading the entire thing.

Why are tax dollar being spent making it a little faster for rich FiDi people to get to JFK. Take the A train like the rest of us.

There is so much infrastructure NYC could improve:

• Biking Infrastructure
• More subway routes in Brooklyn
• Better ties to PATH and LIRR
• Expanded and more reliable bus infrastructure

And that is just what I can think in the moment.

I think there is levels of trust.

I am often able to reach of level of trust to believe a company is not straight up lying about the code they are running on their servers.

I am not often able to reach a level of trust to believe a “trust me bro” from a company (especially if that statement is not qualified in a meaningful way).

Just read through their faq

Some of the messaging community believes that software that is open source is more secure. It is our view that it is not.

That’s a nope from me.

Imagine spending $400 for 24GB of ram.

Maybe because of centralization? The article is fine though.

But…I kinda agree with the downvoters. I think federation is the real way to create safe spaces for people. Centralization just does not seem like the way.

Having a minority founder doesn’t inherently mean the site will be safe. Everyone has biases and prejudices.

There are so many easier ways to get at Satya Nadella and Microsoft. Why choose this?

This looks like it’s from the aifund thing he is a part of, but it seems like they took that part out. I have never worked for of those companies so idk 🤷‍♂️.

Imo, Andrew Ng is actually a cool guy. He started coursera and deeplearning.ai to teach ppl about machine/deep learning. Also, he does a lot of stuff at Stanford.

I wouldn’t put him in the corporate shill camp.

Based.

Printing always messes with me a bit. The fact that they are network connected and have so many security vulnerabilites makes me wonder what I don’t know.

edit: grammar

Consumers have almost zero control and options in regard to privacy, other than simply buying an older model.

This line really hit me hard.

I’m probably from a younger generation, because as long as I have been around google has never felt like a choice for me. Instead, it was always the default or mandated by the organization I am a part of (university, other web services…). It’s kinda a fight to get out of the google grasp.

Hearing you (and I guess the article towards the end) talk about google as not a monstrosity gives me hope that maybe other companies can push through and usurp google’s “defaultness”. It’d also be great if it was not another giant like microsoft giving competition.

I’d love to be able to a make a non-google choice and not feel like an outsider.

First off, I think you’re completely right in that laptop batteries are definitely a non-ideal solution. And, I’m really not an expert in this, so take my words with a grain of salt.

You could mitigate a bit of the dangers by doing some of the following (I only did the first):

• Reducing the max charge level to 50% of the capacity.
• Monitor your batteries health to alert for any discrepancies.
• Switch out your batteries every couple of years (which is super easy without downtime on the aformentioned old thinkpads).

If you are an under $100 budget, there seems to be an argument that maybe you are willing to risk a little bit for that extra power reliability.

To give a different opinion than all the thin-clients, old laptops can be a good choice too. I am a bit preferrential to really nice old thinkpads.

If you buy them used you can get insane prices (~$40) and also you get all the laptop conveniences of a keyboard, screen, battery (for power failure). Also I think the power/performance ratio is pretty much the same to the thin clients.
