That’s what I’m saying tho. If the government is all-in on this, and basically the only reason the stock market is growing is because of AI related things, they will get a backstop or a bailout. At which point we’ll probably be forced to use it even more to justify that action.

I admire Cory’s perennial optimism, but the more billions the governments pump into this scheme, the less likely it’s going to be. “Too big to fail” and whatnot.

Z is stretched so thin trying to invade just one country right now. How can they possibly be planning to invade another?

(Also, rest of Europe, you watching this? Finland, want to go repatriate some land?)

There is at least graceful degradation:

When the battery dies, the glasses continue to function as a traditional pair of single-vision specs, ensuring the wearer is never left in the dark or have safety compromised such as when driving or operating machinery.

There’s nothing about a subscription in here, and there’s no need for an internet connection. Sensors just watch how your eyes are trying to focus and adjust the metal lens that’s sandwiched between the glass parts.

Vizio, take the hint and open up your full stack. Become the hacker’s TV. We’ll write cool stuff that you can use for free (like you’re already doing) and we’ll get to shut off your shitty telemetry in our own firmwares.

This has been on my list of things to try for a while, but I’m currently in “if-it-aint-broke-dont-fix-it” mode.

I have one of these. It’s usb 3.0 only which it sounds like is what you have anyway. It’s not part of my NAS, I just use it when I need to quickly look for something on an old drive, but it’s been pretty reliable for me for the last few years and was cheap, so I have no complaints.

Ah my mistake. As I’m sure you’ve found you can certainly get USB-SATA adapters. They’ll be $15-20 each, so you’d realistically be better off getting 2 2-drive enclosures since that would be about the same price but much cleaner. I’ve used Sabrent for this for a while and they’re fine. There are occasional usb disconnects so it’s not good for anything mission critical. And never do anything port-powered when connecting drives over usb, always use parts that get their own wall power.

Buy a cheap LSI card on ebay, they can usually be had for around $15-20. Make sure it’s either in HBA or IT mode, or that there’s a way to put it into that mode. If it’s in HBA/IT mode, you can then just use it like more SATA ports. Buy a pack of LSI-SATA cables (there are two kinds, get the kind that includes the SATA power connector). Then you can put the card inside your computer and the drives anywhere that the cables will reach.

Thank you for your service

Is parodic a word?

Yep. Encouraging a whole new generation of casual artists, makers and readers can only be seen as a great thing. I would just add that we all need to remember how to slow down, and understand that’s good and necessary to do so every so often.

I think the problem is that we’ve forgotten how to just do nothing and be content with it (or even a bit bored with it). While I think unplugging is good, this just seems like replacing one kind of attention addiction with another.

I’m going to mod my regular glasses with a couple of ultra-bright IR LEDs and hope that these cameras do a crappy job of filtering it out.

I haven’t seen any consumer NPUs that will aid with training. They’re mainly used for accelerating image effects in photoshop or blurring your background in zoom. Most aren’t even any good for inference offload. Inference and especially training take a good GPU with a large amount of VRAM (expensive) or something like a ryzen strix halo with a ton of system RAM (also expensive). With model quantization you might run modestly sized models, but you would be training tiny, tiny models at best. Think thousands of parameters, not the billions or trillions used in the LLMs you know and love.
