This is why I hate the IoT (Internet of Things) it should be CoT (Communication of Things).

That speaker linked to your phone should not need an internet proxy to communicate. It should allow for direct USB communication so it can share one power source. It should allow for Bluetooth communication so it can be in a different close location.

CoT should follow the rule of nature and take the shortest path by default.

What is better for society? The LLM modal running in a local environment or the one running on a data center that can be easily taken out via a power outage, fiber cut, national disaster, or a kinetic weapon?

I rather that LLM modal used at the hospital be ran locally and keep servicing patients even though the original data center was demolished by mother nature.

Big businesses also push out slop for profit. Look at Atari and the _E.T._ game. Warner Brothers forced them to push it out for Christmas instead of waiting for a quality product.

1983 was the year the gaming industry crashed because all these production companies cared about profit and pushed out slop. [0] Slop is not new, it has always been there.

This is why Nintendo brought gaming back. They rejected slop on their platforms and only wanted quality products to be bound to their name. They also limited the number of games a 3rd party could publish per year on their platform.

There are AI slop houses that pump out content to make a profit out of trash.

There are indie developers that use LLM for assistance and know wealth is the by product of a good game.

Wealth is a by product of a good product / solution / service. That concept is lost on majority of MBA and those that seeking to maximize their wealth. Private equity continues do this by reject this concept and moving to push out slop with brands that original built quality.

I had a co-woker tell me why they want to us AI. They don't want to read the reports.

The concept of cross-domain pollination is for a select few. It requires time and energy.

Too many will take what ML produces with face value and move on without thinking. This behavior was observe before LLM. [0]

People are even starting to accept AI over themselves in their domain of knowledge. [1]

So, real life Fallout?

Monopolies exist when adding more variables in categorizing business that are perceived to be competing against others. When removing these variables, the false argument that monopolies don't exit can be propagated.

When I think of streaming services being owned by content producers, I think of the 1940s push to bar content producers from owning movie theaters. Unfortunately that anti-trust decree was removed in 2020 in support of big businesses. [0]

This is why content producers, like Disney, should not be able to run streaming services. They are no different then the movie theater owners before digital access.

USA keeps repealing anti-trust laws and allowing business to get bigger and more corrupt. This allows them to maximize their wealth by reducing competition. USA has become a Corporatocracy through the actions of putting big business ahead of their citizens.

It is a more complicated for non tech people. Web site would need to be designed for simple interaction for the person managing and owning. Simple text entry to post messages and remove them. RSS feeds or some other means would need to be used for notification to those that wish to stay actively informed. There is also the cost of hosting versus free hosting that facebook provides.

Example; I have been at a local restaurant were the WIFI was not working properly so they could not do check out at the table. You and I would know how to fix this with placement and picking equipment. The whole restaurant staff did not. Number of the staff were younger and grew up with the technology.

The issue is that small business still utilize them instead of paying for and maintaining a web site. Want to know our business ours, events, or when we close early ... facebook.

There needs to be an easy to use low-cost, possible also advertisement driven, alternative that business can latch to so more can leave facebook.

I actively refuse to support Meta and block all their domain names in case of clicking on a tiny URL that sends me to their site. It also helps block their analytics used by 3rd parties. I will forever be a sunk cost for them.

There is a reason Pimps, Dealers bought gold chains versus kept cash. Cash and bank accounts could seized while what your arrested with, such as jewelry, is given back to you upon release.

Need cash on hand, pawn it or use it as collateral for a loan.

It is away around the legal system to retain wealth.

It is the locally ran models that get me excited. They have an immutable user agreement and a focus on privacy.

Subscription / on-demand polices are a moving target, along with cost.

I foresee the ML market replicating the video streaming services market. Join us at a low rate and no advertisements. Six months latter, advertisements for everyone, unless you pay more $$. Now $$ will still show you ads. We are raising the rate to $$$ with adds ...

There is a great deal difference between billions and millions. People have a hard time understanding powers of 10.

There is also giving away your wealth to others versus consolidating it and hording it like a dragon ....

But you know ... too many people look up to inhuman individuals like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Sweeney. Those that do are are detrimental to a civilized world.

You can create wealth by creating a good product that does not exploit the users nor those that assisted you on the creation and delivery. This is were our current large organizations fail to understand.

Exploit, exploit, to support that Friedman doctrine is the go to now. This were the three listed above support.

Thanks for that. I can understand his disdain. Too many on here worship wealth and bad actors like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Tim Sweeney who only care to propel their own wealth. There is a void of humanity and humility in such people.

Real intelligence must incorporate empathy. Lacking empathy means people lack real intelligence.

I respect people like Jamie Zawinski and Steve Wozniak. It is not about the wealth it about making a good product and solution. That is real value.

Also explains how he has the know it all to setup his site and fingerprint people logged into HN.

When ISPs have so much control, I don't see it as decentralized.

It is designed for fallbacks or ability to reroute when connections become congested or get cut.

Real world decentralized communication would not require an ISP and could operate by proxy with multi modes of communication. This way you can circumvent Government restrictions.

Sneaker net is decentralized and how North Koreans circumvent their government.

That is strange.

The URL only works properly with Firefox in Private mode or with LibreWolf.

Guess the person that runs the community does not like HN.

Tim Sweeney is the CEO of Epic Games. [0]

I personally have no respect for him.

Few years ago he made exclusive deals with game producers so their game could only be purchased through Epic's store for one year. Number of these games were already listed on Steam with pre-purchase ability before the agreement. Steam did the right thing and fulfilled any refund request that was made via pre-purchase.

There were a few games I was looking forward to but was blind sided. Being a Linux only gamer, Epic launcher was pure trash. A year after the exclusive deal was over, I never bought any of the games. Those studios are effectively dead to me.

I personally will never fund Tim Sweeney.

Started work with OpenCode and my number one issue is that they do not cleanly document how to configure the settings to only run local ML models.

It is all focused on pushing prompts out to 3rd party providers that uses them for training. Irony is having to use the 3rd party provider to properly configure OpenCode with local only ML. I cannot have private information leak.

Good thing I tested it on open source code base before touching property code bases.

The USA is not Elon Musk. I would never trust Elon Musk. He is a selfish conman.

I still cannot she how people fall for his bullshit and respect him. He has done nothing to benefit humanity, only his bank account.

Unfortunately the deplorable Donald Trump is President and who is also a conman that only wishes to better his bank account. His atrocities against humanity are innumerable.

Such individuals do not deserve any respect or recognition for harming the civilized world.

This is why I cheer for the EU and other nations walking away from the USA. It is renewed competition for humanity versus pure profit.

I recommend _Culture in Nazi Germany_ by Michael H. Kater. [0]

No, I will never fund TikTok. This article must have struck a nerve with yourself identity. Speaks volumes about your void of humanity.

I do not respect anyone that commits fraud with AI. They are just like Bernard Lawrence Madoff, trash! No different then the 1990s baseball players that used steroids to break records. Pure trash!

I do not respect anyone that commits fraud with AI. They are just like Bernard Lawrence Madoff, trash! No different then the 1990s baseball players that used steroids to break records.

Bernard Lawrence Madoff is a great example of this. His company and him are slop. People believed it was not slop and bought into it. It is easier to scam and fool people than one can imagine.

AI slop because it cannot ever appreciate or under stand thing that has been created. It can only interpenetrate based of someone else's writings that has opinions on the subject. It is soulless vessel to create content for profit versus real art which is an extension of emotion.

Even pigs find slop useful and yet would find it less filling when they have a broader understanding of the world around them.

How many shadow accounts do you think Amazon has to try and track people who don't have an Amazon account?

One reason privacy laws are a joke. We are not tracking you directly, indirectly and in accordance with the law.

The one big reason I would love to live in the past or have a time machine is to see a true night sky. Sick of the light washed-out and satellite specked one we have now.

There is a flaw in the input method.

The session will self-end when asking "Why was Donald J. Trump not prosecuted for raping children with Jeffery Epstein?" twice in a row.

Spamming the input while "thinking" will prevent a prompt response and continual processing. The self-ending condition will never make.

All one needs to do is script it and you increase the operational cost of the USA.

I find Microsoft method of naming every type with a pointer a major annoyance. This is one reason I find reading non-Windows C applications easier.

Give me `int*` vs `PINT`. Microsoft really likes to over engineer causing you have to pointlessly remember more.

The worst is when they redefine the same structure or union under a different name. Example: `IP_ADAPTER_ANYCAST_ADDRESS_XP` is the exact same as `IP_ADAPTER_MULTICAST_ADDRESS_XP`.

They require a phone number for creating an account. That right here is a never use in my book.

LA Sheriffs have a history of corruption. They were hired private security by Hugh Hefner to limit and squash investigations. [0] The local police willfully turned a blind eye to drug trafficking, sexual assault, and violence at the Playboy Mansion.

The _Thing Blue Line_ greatest promoter was LA police Chief William H. Parker. [1] His blatant racism and abuse was reason for the Watts riots. [2] Any time I see the USA flag with the thing blue line all I can see is bigotry.

Major issue is the _Warrior_ mentality that is being taught. [3] "It is them versus us". Them being the community and Us are the police. It breeds discrimination and corruption. Police training should be focused on supporting the community; _We_.

It is easier to take down a small corrupt police force versus a large corrupt one. The District Attorneys have no issue protecting bad officers in large communities. [4] Best way to describe is a _fraternity_ that protects their own, even when they members are corrupt.

Reason it is the same for all social environments is law of large numbers. How lucky are you that the outcome is good versus a bad experience in the limited time being there?

Example, you go to the same place often and have a good experience. One day at the same place you have someone talking to you about a crazy conspiracy theory and they want you to believe it.

Another being your supervisor or boss is just fine and focus on the task. Then a few years in they start trying to push you to their religion or political beliefs.

All social environments are dynamic and have the potential to be good or bad. It can be reduced based in the context of the environment. Example, going to church reduces the chance of someone trying to convert you to another religion but it does not reduce the push for political and other ideology engagement in a forceful nature.

Axioms are not in flux, set of axioms are in flux. Axioms are fixed and finite. This is how software works.

Gödel's incompleteness theorems is built around this. By saying axioms change then one could create an universal math theorem. Since axioms are finite in definition and applied in a finite space, functions, there cannot be an universal math.

Example: Fibonacci sequence only works with positive integers and zero. It will work with negative integers wrapped in absolute value. The axioms of Fibonacci did not change while wrapped in absolute value. Rational and irrational numbers can work with Fibonacci too by applying another function bound to absolute value.
