A tractor is still something on my list I want. I think I’d only ever be able to afford a old one like yourself and I imagine the relationship with the tractor to be adversarial at all times. Never use it until you need it and then you have to fight with it to work.
I meant more or less don’t buy a WiFi garage door opener that sends data off to your servers install a ZigBee switch yourself.
I do not care to reread my long over opinionated posts they’re full of spelling and grammatical errors.
You want to look into frigate, and you don’t need much of a graphics card. You could use a old gaming PC with a gtx 1060 from 10 years ago.
There’s cameras with tensor cores in them too. I only played around with the pi ai camera but frigate uses the same yolo models. so you can have your camera process the image detection or the server’s GPU.
It doesn’t take as much as you think. Its when you want to generate content that its important you need lots of vram or cram the entire model into context.
I am the biggest ai hater I know but local models, and old school ai technologies before LLMs are pretty cool.
I like how they are trying to drag down other platforms with them. Not that they don’t deserve it, just shows they really do stop at nothing to tarnish their name at every turn.
Just fucking take the slap on the wrist, apologize and lie and say you’ll do better like every other corperation and maybe people will at best forget about you.
This is the way to go. Once you get a stand up air compressor that spits out enough cfm its a real game changer. I don’t even have that many air tools outside of nail guns. Just having solid air for dusting made it worth while for me. I’ll get distracted for hours using my tornado air whip and airsolizer.
Hardwired tools are generally better in both terms of performance and reliability. If you really want get Amish about it you can convert a lot of eletric tools into gas tools and buy them like that.
That being said I will still grab my ryobi battery power tools before anything else.
Before you buy anything make sure you research it first. Start buying things that you own the infustructure for. Don’t buy a 3d printer that doesn’t support Linux, or buy a 3d printer that won’t be effected by the 3d printing laws that try to stop gun parts from being printed.
That logic should apply to everything. If you are buying a IP camera make sure to get one that does PoE and doesn’t connect and ping hone to a server before sending you your data. Don’t buy a WiFi garage door opener unless you installed the ZigBee switch yourself. You should aim to be able to do everything yourself without needing subscription models or useless internet of things devices.
Things you likely want now before they get further ruined:
A google pixel phone to flash and de google.
A car before ~2013 that you plan on learning how yo repair when it breaks down.
A AMD based PC with a a 16gig GPU. Thats like the absolute lowest end you can use LLM’s and defuision models locally that don’t completely suck ass. And if you’re not much of a gamer or desktop user you can turn this PC into a server and run your own services in docker so you reduce your dependency on apps.
Its only bad once it takes the form of Communism/socialism.
Lol.
I’m all about that life
Yeah, you are right and I know it. I more or less don’t trust that to happen though.
Let’s go to the old folks home where they get doped up and we all get stoned.
Literally the only way they can make any of this right when the bubble pops and shit starts hitting the fan is public execution.
Musk, bezos, Altmann, zuckerman, etc.
Nothing they do short of that is going justify all the damage they caused to the world, I don’t think we will be able to move past it unless they where executed, or at the very least have to spend 5 counts of life time sentences in solitary confinement with no parole, work release, etc.
Maybe 40 minutes.
Thats a air muffin paw. Someone wants loves.
Saudi Arabia is our ally who helped coordinate 9/11.
The Saudis only want ea for the kernal level anticheat in ea games.
Which is odd because we are considering banning tencent due to these concerns.
“Our flag will be red, with lots of X’s. Well call ourselves the red’N’exs”

Elons response when his csam generator generated deep fakes and csam of kids was " we are looking for the people who did this ". No mother fucker it was you who did this.
As if he had 0 responsibility for the release of the csam generator, and took absolutely no precautions on trying to prevent it from happening. No other major LLM company has this issue, and the amount of negligence is on par with leaving a loaded gun at the playground in a park.
What’s even worse is instead of immediately shutting down the csam generator elon instead made it so only paying members can generate csam. When people complained again that people where still actively generating csam he simply removed that function to be available in the united States or the uk. So now when someone generates csam of your kids you won’t even be aware of it.
Now elon musk is fighting at every instance to fight for his right to be able to generate csam. Including suing states.
Trump says this is legal, and he has pressured states to not make any laws against ai in any shape or form, essentially making it illegal to stop elon musk from making csam.
This is what Ai boosters call a modern marvel and amazing life changing technology.
I try not to worry too much about it but it really feels like there is a ticking clock on getting some form of collaboration going to a android/Linux really phone going. More and more I have been internalizing that ticking clock.
Everything is slowly in the process of getting locked down and requiring verified accounts on verified spyware operating systems.
Ai is kind of the DRM for what used to be free access to information. Ever sense google and openai bought reddits api rights we can’t use third party apps, and now its to the point you can’t access content without being logged in and using the app. And in some countries you can’t even use your account without a ID linked to it.
I can’t watch YouTube on newpipe or other open source projects without having to switch my IP every few hours. Reddit and YouTube is where most google searches end up in. I could be locked out of basic internet functions, and information completely. Trying to force me to filter my information through an ai that’s always tracking me and all my meta data ends up with palantir creating profiles on me.
In the united States we are fine for now but given how the rest of the world is looking I imagine our time is coming sooner rather than later. Googles captcha is only going to work on verified android hardware in the future so they are building up literal gates to anyone who doesnt comply.
I’m the stupidest person in the world and I don’t like the pressure I feel for how little this issue is addressed when it feels like it should be of immediate concern. I had much more faith that there where plenty of actually smart people working towards this, and when you really get into it, there’s only handfuls of people and they’re really fragmented.
I was pointing out how its less practical than the normal tazers which they still don’t use. The idea of it sounds dangerous to the user too.
The taser gun is the ultimate form. But I agree with your sentiment about less shooting the better.
I guess the point I want to drive home is this taser gloves thing likely costs 300 thousand dollars for a single glove and is funded by tax payer dollars, and its going to be just a toy they bring out to torture people for fun, and otherwise foregotten. They’re still going to pull their guns out first and foremost, and when its slow they’ll abuse their drones and gloves for fun.
Ideally we wouldn’t give them anymore money, my critisim was more a joke but I was trying to point out how the system is so backwards I can imagine a scenario where this was proposed instead of making the ice agents sit through one more paid class with at least the bare minimum a guide on how not to shoot people immediately.
Anything worth while takes effort
