No, and thankfully that is not something LLM's can do.

It's kinda cool but I'm never going to put my z-wave network on an internet connected device that is a complete security/privacy fail out of the gate.

I'm also never going to put a "IoT" device in my home, just turning a light on and off does not make a thing "smart".

Check with your local non-profits, most 2nd hand no warranty/guarantee shops are in your local small industrial parks and sell mostly to non-profits or very small companies.

They will not have a store front or advertise you'll just call the owner and ask if they have "X" or equivalent and if so you can go get it. I've used a few of them over the years for monitors and wyse terminals for small businesses.

It's feasible, just not sure it's profitable.

Your biggest issue is going to be EU/UK (un)encryption laws now that Switzerland is breaking.

A standalone home/cloud VM server would probably be easier than a full cloud based google like system that can easily be throttled at it's one source by any EU agency/government.

As long as you realize that is not how LLM's currently work.

Just like your comment wasn't a serious comment, anyone defending this rich asshole has no idea what he's actually saying.

This was a backhand to anyone not born rich and in a CS program that he's purposely trying to make a permanent burger flipper. It's the exact same vain as Biden's "coal miners should learn to code" shit.

There just copying Kagi (https://kagi.com/) who did it first and better than anything Google is going to be able to muster.

Or I could use any text based editor to do that without AI.

"there will be another crisis someday" ... yes I guess that's always true in general.

I can agree it might be crypto but not because of "crypto" specifically it's more about the banking deregulation and the abomination called Fintech as a whole that will more than likely cause a community to regional banking crises due to all of the SanFran startups buying and then running banks into the ground. Crypto is just the cool boy thing they are using to buy said banks.

Sadly no. Russia already controls the important (rich) coastal lands and the single mineral mining area now. There is no reason for him to turn anything over without a complete invasion from the USA which is not in the country's interests.

The Ukraine lost several years ago and has no chance of winning at this point as the death toll on there side is not only larger but more devastating.

The thing you need to worry about is the next step, regaining Georgia's oil reserves.

The saddest thing about the Zuck is it's not even his line.

He lifted "Personal Superintelligence" and the "vision" word for word from far smarter people than himself from nearly a decade ago. That story was already reported on.

Who's going to take up his mantle Mr. Desch ?

To be fair Abraham Loeb is a quick sliding Baby Boomer who's closer to 70 than 50. Like Ridley Scott (when was the last good Alien movie?) his tank has to be on empty at this point.

No they do not. They buy from local or state distributors who are national sized companies. They may or may not buy from China and Mexico.

But no small business is buying napkins and straws directly from China.

Well that's confusing, small businesses by there very nature are local businesses and there supply chains has very little to nothing to do with internationals tariffs.

But Bloomberg has to fearmonger that's there way.

You do not have 'civil liberties' in the UK. There is no Miranda rights and there bill of rights is strictly based on the Magna Carta and is not as comprehensive and the US Bill of Rights which was based off of the UK version.

Per the wiki:

Civil liberties have been gradually declining in the United Kingdom since the late 20th century. Their removal has been generally justified by appeals to public safety and National Security and hastened on by crises such as the September 11 attacks, the 7/7 bombings and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.[4][5][6] The pandemic oversaw the introduction of the Coronavirus Act 2020, which was described by former Justice of the Supreme Court Lord Sumption as "the greatest invasion of personal liberty in [the UK's] history."

Look at the original Honeywell Z-Wave products, still going strong and still doesn't need an internet connection to work.

They will work with any Z-Wave/Zigbee compatible controller.

Some one has been hitting the wacky weed a bit to much I think.

Check with your public power company they are the only ones that let you buy into a solar farm you will never see that from a private company which is nearly all of the solar/wind mega's.

Putting panels on your roof is not an investment it's power freedom from serge pricing models. It's a home not an investment.

Session - no e-mail or phone number needed. It generates a 66 digit id on new account creation.

You need to at least put a description of what your code is/does in the github page preferably with screenshots otherwise it's going to get marked as a phishing scam/attack and rightfully so.

There is no way I would ever run anything blind.

So they have finally hit there top end price and have decided to lock it in.

Speaking to that type of attorney is going to cost at least a grand upfront.

It's not a "current state of affairs" the industry has been like this for the last 30 years.

There is a difference between a "private" company and a "startup" the problem with startups is they mainly hire younger workers that are willing to take two trigger private stock options that will almost never trigger. Only the equity investors get single trigger options for when the company gets bought by a big player based only on the valuation (that's the end goal of startups 80% of the time).

While a truly private company (think Harbor Freight, etc) will be focused on building the business not the valuation and if they do offer private stock as a cash build it's very limited but single triggered. It's almost always bought back in a buy back so no loss of money typically.

I tend to work in the large corporation side which is a different beast altogether. I did just get bit by a tiny little startup but I knew that was coming from the start. It was an easy 2 year pay-day.

Several dupes in - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43723817

As much as I'd like to think there users will vote with there wallets once they cripple non-synology hard-drives I doubt it.

Synology knows there base pretty well much like Sonos they will more than likely just buy there overpriced drives.

Dupe of many https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43721170

Actually Win11 does there is no difference. Large size companies build there own image after using automated tools to rip most of it out while small companies do it manually and then build there image.

It's not that different from what a sane person would do at home other than the money spent on the tools.

As a former Sprint/T-Mobile tier 3 System Design Network Eng I'd rather have the Exec's burned at the stake.

I've been on 300 people bridges trying to diagnose software problems (programmers blame the network 100% of the time until you smack them with facts and prove what they did) with CIO's, CTO's, I kid you not CFO's and CMO's on the line demanding 5 minute updates on hours long outages.

During a major outage the only good exec is the one we tranked in the corner not bothering me while I look at packets.

"In the US, at least. Europe, Germany in particular, was probably a different story."

Not really I was in the army back then stationed in Germany and had a buddy that was clinically insane over his Amiga's. Yes I agree the graphics was forking amazing at least a decade maybe two ahead of it's time but you couldn't play Warlord or Wizardry on it so he used my beige PC clone running Dr. Doss

They had the same problem in Europe not enough sales but the owners was bat-shit crazy and wrote a lot of crazy little programs to make them semi-functional.

Amiga died When Commodore bought it for the Lorraine/Sage IV code base.
