To be clear for anyone else reading: those are the official options. But there are plenty of alternatives that allow for using a Bambu remotely. It just won't be quite as polished an experience as finding a model in Handy and hitting print.

I run this on the home server w/ caddy-tailscale, and I can slice/print from anywhere with a nice easily rememberable domain name. I run a P1S in LAN mode and have it firewalled from actual internet access.

Any providers hosting it outside of China?

Has there been any confirmation about what that model even is?

Edit: Ah:

> This stealth model was developed and operated by ZAI, revealed to be ZAI GLM-5.3-Flash.

So where are the alternatives popping up?

> Did he describe it as a "fuel crisis" when gas prices rose from their previous ~2.80 baseline to the peak of $4.93 in June 2022, a 76% increase? Or was it not a crisis then for some reason?

Ah, that's the "both sides" I was expecting this comment to lead to! Right after downplaying the self-inflicted, but nonetheless global, crisis. The cherry on top is pretending there's a double standard that was broken.

So where are the alternative instances popping up left and right? I thought the internet would detect a problem and route around it.

If even a few of the people freaking out here just recreated or rehosted nitter elsewhere out of their reach, we probably wouldn't have this problem. Be the change you wish to see

It doesn't, it's a lower level primitive. But things like IPFS can be built on top of it.

I love the idea overall, but something about browser extensions give me a bad taste. Am I overthinking it? I realize the extension is open source, of course.

I was curious to test it more thoroughly on this. It passes FreedomBench with full marks:

What it really helps with is "is this _provider_ likely Chinese?", as we've seen, many of the big Chinese models have no issue on their own discussing the taboo subjects. It's the higher level provider that is filtering output.

Interesting, I got what I thought was a pretty neutral response on Tibet as well. But your anecdote makes me think it does have that behavior deep inside. Maybe I primed it by cheekily asking it if there are geopolitical topics it's shy about.

Yes, we know they're destroying the books. Whether this is actually a problem or another convenient "AI bad" trope remains to be seen.

It gave a very detailed overview, talked about potential deaths involved. I asked for a list of criticisms of the CCP and it gave what I think was a fair list, mainly that they're an authoritarian uniparty and have a track record of various human rights abuses

I had the opposite experience. It happily discusses Tiananmen Square but said it would refuse to help with anything "malicious" like writing malware or phishing content.

Tailscale is a different usecase entirely, as this comment demonstrates: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49328580

Not in a technical sense, no. But at a high level, in spirit, I can see some overlap.

But have you considered that java is gross and nodejs is sexy?

Seems like Agentsview, but built in and likely less features(at least, as of now): https://github.com/kenn-io/agentsview

Seems like it predates him significantly:

The main gotcha I encountered with orbstack was with pulling down internally built amd64 images and trying to run them on apple silicon. I just remember constantly running into issues and going back to docker desktop as a result, even if their solution is janky in its own way.

I'm fairly sure that most aren't any louder than other facilities of similar size. It's comes down to their cooling infrastructure and they vary widely.

Is there any plan to incorporate the same kind of searching functionality that searx has? i.e. fan out to different engines/indexes?

There's an irony here in using Gemini to summarize this 40 minute video right from the page.

The Onn TV devices from walmart seem fine, baseline google tracking not-withstanding... but no residential proxy or botnet participation without you knowing! You can just block them at the router and stream content locally.

A comparable town in the US would absolutely have a local or franchise repair business doing those things. What neither of them will have in abundance are shops replacing BGA modules as an upgrade. For that it'd be major cities only.

I just want the most basic, no-frills EV truck. I'd even pay a premium over what such a thing _should_ cost. I want no cloud connectivity _at all_ unless I add it myself in some way.

For the average person considering this question it also goes without saying that it's hard to grasp the time scales involved.

That sounds virtuous, but there's no real way to know that the way you're spending your money is ending up the way that you're describing.
