:-) Yeah, this is officially boring now. Still fun though!

>but I think eventually we'll have even more specialized ASIC like machines with models burned into them

This has already happened and is very interesting.

If that were the case, it would be reasonable to expect that companies like OpenAI or Anthropic, which are heavily indebted, would lose part of their business model, not because their models are bad, but because others will be cheaper and not as bad.

I think he means they will be commercially relevant and most AI compute won't be on GPUs.

Famous last words...

I mean, LastPass was a train wreck after their breach, but they didn't go as far as trying to stop me from exporting my vault when I switched to BW.

The idea of BW doing a rug pull and suddenly removing the ability to export your vault I think would trigger a class-action lawsuit.

Depending on your level of DIY-ness and willingness to handle powders, you could make some Super Goop. I've heard good things about it but haven't yet had enough bed adhesion issues to make it yet.

I've been looking at Linux phones for a while, and now the latest 'sideloading' lockdown from Google has pushed me to seriously consider getting off Android. What phones do you use or recommend for someone who has a little Linux experience?

Maybe start with GrapheneOS on a Google Pixel phone, its a privacy/security focused Android fork.

Otherwise for full Linux, take a look at shipping-with-Android devices that are semi-supported by postmarketOS, Mobian etc. Or go with vendors focused on non-Android Linux like Pine64 PinePhone, Purism Librem, Furilabs, Liberux and maybe some I forgot. The Debian Mobile wiki page has a whole lot of other links but I stopped maintaining it.

May I add this link to your interesting list : https://volla.online/en/

Volla OS looks like an Android fork, so more like GrapheneOS than postmarketOS/etc.

When buying the phone you can choose to have it with Ubuntu Touch instead of Volla OS. There is also multi-boot.

Ubuntu Touch is still an Android-based OS (they used to have a variant that didn't rely on Android, but discontinued it).

Thanks for that precision, I didn't know about that fact. For those interested : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ContainerArchitecture

Smartphone Linux is a total mess. Even postmarketOS does not have a single fully supported and maintained device it can point to and say "buy this, you can run fully featured Linux on it". Very sad. The best option seems to be running Termux on GrapheneOS on the latest Pixels.

I fail to see what a new protocol would bring to the equation. I see it more as a human behaviour issue, network effect, worse is better etc etc.

My grandma uses Facebook because someone taught her how, she doesn't have the capability to explore technology on her own. That honestly goes for most people, they treat their computer as necessary for getting along in modern society and nothing more.

Facebook is the internet.

The Journal of the American College of Cardiology has a good paper stating that saturated fat is not linked with CVD or mortality.

If you're willing to make the jump before GabeN makes it easy for all of us, I can recommend CachyOS with KDE Plasma.

I've recently made the jump and it seems to have stuck. This is at least the fifth time I've tried to switch over the last 20 years and it's the first time it even moderately feels like most things have just worked.
