I can’t wait for the horse to be invented again! Then running, then walking, then crawling, then swimming, then floating, then not moving at all and then death!

Lol, one visit to Vietnam can easily show you why an SUV is not going to be a hit there. It’s basically motorcycle country. Cars are pretty common too, but motorcycles are basically THE form of transportation there.

Accidentally Capitalism towards workers?

OP, this^^^

Long story short, profit.

The not so short versio is that each manufacturer along the supply chain decides for how long they want to provide updates, the following manufacturer can’t provide updates that the previous manufacturer doesn’t. And so it goes until you get a phone that has 3 years of software updates and 5 years of security updates and that’s it.

For example, you might buy a phone from google, they buy electronic parts from maybe Qualcomm and a few others. Say Qualcomm decides that it won’t be profitable to provide driver updates to the SoC past 7 years and critical security updates past 10 years. At this point even if Googke really wanted to, they can’t provide anything past that as they would not be able to update the Qualcomm driver. But google has otger providers with maybe shorter support windows, abd they have their own costs and updates to make. So Google decideds that for them it won’t be profitable to provide support past 5 years and security updates past 7 years. So now you get a phone which will be unsupported after 7 years, and here comes the big difference between phones and most computers. Phones have a locked bootloader and usually a custom SoC. Locjed Bootloader means that you can’t just install another OS that might still provide some support, and the custom SoC means that any driver support will have to be only for this specific device.

So with an old laptop you might have a custom motherboard, but the cpu, gpu, ram, wifi, sound, etc will all be off the shelf, so if some linux developer makes some sort of driver support for your wifi card, it will also apply to all other laptops with that wifi card, but for a phone this won’t work, let alone even be viable since the bootloader is locked.

Simply put, no right to own and profit chasing means that no one really cares if your phone is a security and usability nightmare after a few years.

RAG is basically like telling an LLM “look here for more info before you answer” so it can check out local documents to give an answer that is more relevant to you.

You just search “open web ui rag” and find plenty kf explanations and tutorials

Have you tried RAG? I believe that they are actually pretty good for searching and compiling content from RAG.

So in theory you could have it connect to all of you local documents and use it for quick questions. Or maybe connected to your signal/whatsapp/sms chat history to ask questions about past conversations

Any basic ear plugs, literally $2 to make the world nicer, to sleep better in loud situations, to protect your hearing, to prevent infections in pools, and more.

You don’t realize how much nicer the world is when it’s like 15db quiter, especially when you are in a city.

Yeah, personally I just looked for second hand high vram gpus and waited. I got 2 titan Xp (12gb vram) for only $180 each.

I know there is all of that AI hate, which i’m all for. But taking models to run locally does not benefit the AI companies. If anything this is the way to make something that is actually good out of that hot mess.

You could use an llm with an mcp to the local filesystem and hope it can do it for you

And that’s why I just cut contact with all people in my life every time I get a partner, to be respectful. Haven’t talked to my grandpa in years but what can you do?

Kind of an over simplification. Yeah, cops should ideally be fit-ish but even an obese person with a gun or a tazer can protect people, maybe not as well but still, and that doesn’t take into account the fact that a lot of cops are not actually on the streets but rather in an office doing paperwork etc. The problems are:

• There are maybe not enough cops that are fit for actual fights?
• Cops are ridiculously undertrained and unfiltered, giving us all if these assholes that really just like power.

The general population

• Iron man, the only human is happy the driver.
• All adam sandler movies and adam sandler is the only human (I believe it would just amplify his movies)

Past 30 age is meaningless as long as both sides are happy.

Would a 80 yo with a 30 yo be weird? Yeah, would it be wrong? No.

50 and 30 is unusual but definitely okay.

What is this weird ad post? F u

Your last point is more of a philosophical / semantical one. What does it even mean that something is a specific color?

It’s like how blue butterflies actually don’t have any blue pigments but rather have a nanostructure that interferes with light in a way that favors blue.

About as much as I trust other drivers on the road.

As in I give it the benefit of the doubt but if something seems off I take precautions while monitoring and if it seems dangerous I do my best to avoid it.

In reality it means that I rarely check it but if anything seems off I remove it and if I have the time and energy I further check the actual code.

My general approach is minimalism, so I don’t use that many unknown/small projects to begin with.

This. They measure these body changes and some idiots decided that these correlate perfectly with lies, but really they can correlate with plenty of things. They start with a base measurement where they ask you simple and verifiable questions such as your name, address, etc.

Here are some legitimate reasons that can get you marked as a liar:

• Getting nervous because you are being investigated.
• An accusatory question gets you nervous
• Panic attack
• Physical discomfort, can be because of a long investigation.
• A question agitates you
• And more

A polygraph can be useful to help uncover the truth as it can help investigators possibly find subjects that disturb you and could relate to lies.

Calling a polygraph a lie detector is ignorant, malicious, stupid, or some combination of the above.

P. S

Good liars can fool polygraphs easily, like not even a complicated thing to learn.
