Ollama with standard Gemma2 model open to the Internet. What could go wrong?

I call out this one because the Chinese government has already examined it for exploits and flaws.

Letting it run outside a sandbox on the Internet is tantamount to sharing any information and capabilities it has with the CCP.

Ah; so you want a collection of “yes, I can do this” items.

It’s not free, but I highly recommend night school courses in trade skills (welding, basic electrical wiring, basic plumbing and pipe fitting, etc).

That can show you are prolific?

Wouldn’t you want to excel in the subject instead of just being prolific?

Ericsson was doing great until it got swallowed up by globalization.

The one-two punch of the US and China shuttered a lot of viable global infotech companies.

Banana.

Is this unpatched or just everything they could get their hands on?

A lot of cybersecurity experts have already put a lot of free information online.

The main threat is straight out of The Matrix: energy consumption.

In a time where more and more parts of the world are having water and energy supply issues, we have AI server farms springing up that consume as much power as a small city… leaving humans with higher costs and less power available.

As for the rest, AI sucks at trades currently, and will only be replacing information worker functions in the near term. Of course, since suppliers compete for work, AI will be mostly an add-on, where the losers in the short term will be those who don’t add it on.

In the long term, those who are very focused in how it is leveraged will win, because you still need to train new humans, and that’s difficult to do if all the junior work is being handled by AI.

So in 50 years or so (if not sooner), we’ll see the full effects of this push to integrate AI at all costs, both on expertise and on the environment.

Ignoring metabolism and focusing solely on food calories consumed and exercise calories burned.

While calories are basic physics/chemistry/biology, they say nothing about the health of the individual. Not eating anything for a month to burn through your fat reserves isn’t going to leave you thin and trim.

I do breakfast at 7, small snack of nuts at 10, lunch at 12:30, small snack at 2, dinner at 6, and absolutely nothing after dinner.

Meal volumes get adjusted depending on what I’m trying to do with my weight.

That 7-7 fast gives my body time to properly digest food and means my cholesterol spikes properly when I do eat food. This means fewer cravings, so the entire process becomes easier.

Daily exercise only counts if it’s cardio and not muscle building. Otherwise the fat gets converted to muscle, which weighs more than fat.

Of course, weight loss shouldn’t ever be considered the end goal, and building muscle and having your weight go up/stay the same is perfectly fine to become healthier.

I knew a guy who had a pirated copy of Office, and was doing a presentation for a law enforcement branch of government where the crack screen popped up when he launched his PowerPoint presentation.

After the presentation he was told to go and buy a legitimate license and show them proof he’d done so.

I loved my Bontrager riding gloves; used them for 30 years before they fell apart. They were the fingerless kind; worked great for cycling and pullups/weights; not so good for running/pilates/yoga.

For running, I have some merino wool cutoffs with a leather pad and flip top mittens. Used them for 20 or so years. I usually start wearing them when the temperature gets close to freezing; being able to flip the mitten tops on and off helps a lot with temperature control.

I run a Jellyfin server for anyone who has VPN access to my internal network.

However, there’s “plex server” posters with QR codes on them on telephone poles in my area, that seem to have a subscription portal you have to go through to get an account.

So there are definitely people attempting to make some money off of pirate plex servers.

Humans in 80,000 BCE:

“We have to do something about this global warming”

“I know, let’s scrub the air of methane and CO2 and store it deep underground! Then we’ll never have to worry about global warming ever again!”

Start small; don’t commit to always being there; just do drop-ins. Or contribute to a github project. There’s lots of ways to volunteer that don’t involve running the program.

So… the theory itself is low context?

Well, I guess in this case, there WERE spoons.

I wonder if DailyMotion is hiring?

Find somewhere you can volunteer. Doesn’t have to be with something you’re interested in, but it helps.

I’ve seen people use low profile corner weights on those before. They’re little triangular weights that slip over the corners. May not be legal in some areas due to being a tripping hazard.
