We "cut the cord" back in 2003 and have hardly ever seen a commercial since (local Linux ISO streaming).

This is the first time I've heard of this commercial... ๐Ÿ˜„ (down in the comments)

Still not worth the $1500 annual fee y'all pay though.

I've recently repurposed an AMD AM5 server as a gaming desktop.

However, the ECC DDR4 ram means he will miss out on the majority of "epic game glitches."

Bringing back "Don't ask, don't tell" is a bleak sign of where our federal agencies are.

This one is on AI in US Patent applications and blatantly ignores a federal ruling.

Problem? If you can't attribute a "majority" of an invention to a single person, then anyone can claim to be the inventor.

The brutal irony here is that this company didn't bother watching my first ALPR video before referencing the most recent video in their marketing.

If they had, they would've seen my demonstration of an adversarial noise attack fooling their Rekor Scout system with a near 100% success rate.

Make of ESPHome Cartridge Player by eduncan911 | Download free STL model | Printables.com

Having some fun with the old RR V-Minion. It's needed a full overhaul since day one, but with over 1000 print hours, it's still going with only a failed bed wiring with all the flex.

"Based on the available evidence, the skills that future graduates will most need in the AI eraโ€”creative thinking, the capacity to learn new things, flexible modes of analysisโ€”are precisely those that are likely to be eroded by inserting AI into the educational process."

A screenshot of a still image from the movie The Forbidden Kingdom (2008) about The Monkey King. The image shows the four actors of the movie Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Michael Angarano and Liu Yifei and standing shoulder to shoulder looking slightly away from the camera, all four focused on a single object off frame.

Going through my #CyberSecurity Today backlog, I found this announcement that slipped under the radar.

A German company TNG released a revamped #AI #DeepSeek model called R1T2 that is 200x faster than DeepSeek, while also being 40% more efficient.

That's awesome! I thought the op was just u advertising some company AI. I apologize as I missed the "solo" statement! You peeked my interest so u got another following.

Related: Have a look at TNG models.

My goal is to fit within 8GB sys ram, for portable IoT devices.

For decades, I've actively sought after broken, half-assed, discarded products so I can disassemble and repair myself. To "keep it going" or "fix it my way."

I have had immense joy in doing this, and passing it onto my children.

Do you plan on open sourcing the model(s) and weights?

There's no way in hell I'd give someone else's AI access to my personal accounts.

I've been known to hand carry 90lbs+ servers on streets of NYC to get to subways. Young and dumb.

Ages ago I had a student doing a journalism internship in DC. After speaking to groups of lawmakers, she called and sheepishly asked, "Prof, is it me, or are some of these powerful people . . . not always that smart?"

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2025: LIVE from New York YouTube video by Associated Press

For this year's #MacyDayParade, we found this AP stream most enjoyable so far.

Don't even bother with the Paramount crap - it's 3 minutes of show and then 3 minutes of ads. Rinse and repeat.

Ask them for a bug bounty first. Otherwise, leave them vulnerable and open.

For this year's turkey day and xmas project, I think I'm going to pull from my collection of UP Core Plus boards.

A few LLMs now actually fit within the 8GB of system ram. There's also that German group who distilled the DeepSeek models down to a 10th of their size as well we'll try out.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut Education and Science Research the way weโ€™re cutting it ourselves โ€” strategically undermining Americaโ€™s long-term health, wealth, and security โ€” we would likely consider it an act of war.

It's because on Jan 20th, he signed an EO to release oil from the Federal Reserve - to keep gas prices low.

We have been, and continue to subsidize gas prices under this administration.

A little unknown fact being omitted from these statements.
