Also, the easiest way to generate ‘Consciousness’ in any system is to add a feedback mechanism. A simple echo in a system or input stream, is a potential emerging ‘consciousness’. It becomes aware of something ‘it’ did before - and then it discover the illusion of ‘I’, free will and personal responsibility (vs long-chained cause&effect from society/environment).

Cute! My first computer was a C= 64 ‘beast’. I wonder how many of those this little fella can emulate :)

I agree. However, I think it is related to Capitalism and all the sociopathic corporations out there. It’s almost impossible to think that anything good will come from the Blue Church controlling even more tech. Capitalism have always used any opportunity to enslave/extort people - that continues with AI under their control.

However, I was also disappointed when I found out how negative ‘my’ crowd were. I wanted to create an open source lowend AGI to secure poor people a descent life without being attacked by Capitalism every day/hour/second, create abundance, communities, production and and in general help build a social sub society in the midst of the insane blue church and their propagandized believers.

It is perfectly doable to fight the Capitalist religion with homegrown AI based on what we know and have today. But nobody can do it alone, and if there’s no-one willing to fight the f*ckers with AI, then it takes time…

I definitely intend to build a revolution-AGI to kill off the Capitalist religion and save exploited poor people. No matter what happens, there will be at least one AGI that are trained on revolution, anti-capitalism and building something much better than this effing blue nightmare. The worlds first aggressive ‘Commie-bot’ ha! 😍

‘overcapacity’ is the newest US propaganda buzzword :-) Someone put together a list of insane western claims for 30 years. None of it stuck. Its the same propaganda playbook…

Great for Russians ! Nobody wants, or needs US/Capitalist propaganda/manipulation in the back door…

Amazing. I’ve been ‘staring’ at the sys rq key for 20 years with Linux and many years before with Win/Dos, and never really knew how it worked, for what, or if it was still used for anything - even then.

Apparently (from light search) sysreq was mostly used in the old days to halt current job and enter a systems menu.

Anyway, thanks for fixing a long-standing knowledge gap :-)

Over time I’ve seen several groups tinker with p2p protocols for packages. Latest using gnunet/ipfs for Guix packages. But I’ve never seen a working/integrated system. Weird…

Looks to me that using shark patterns inside a jet engine (vs as outer skin) incl hardened printing methods is a new tech, and yes everybody can eventually imitate/repeat other peoples tech, but it’ll take time to get things right, so the article seem unbiased enough.

Damn, things are moving fast atmo ! Thx for info!

Ouch. I actually thought that HIMARS were one of the few successes, but apparently that were only in the beginning, and now they are worthless. Impressive. The level of Russian EW are confirmed from other sources also. I can’t really remember any weapons that have been a success ? All the Western super weapons seem to have been failures.

‘Similarly, during democratic elections, Google employed whitelists for sites that should be shown (or demoted) for election-related information’

I’m sure they only use that little ‘non-fascistic’ feature for home use and not all over the world, yeah.

China, Russia, Iran etc seem to know what they are doing, and why. All people in the western world need to apply a Chinese firewall and block these US state/profit controlled corporations.

Just to add: Even if we can replace the energy from diminishing fossils with nuclear etc, there are still a huge forest/mountain of essential technology and products that are reliant on fossils, and they won’t be replaced by anything. I can recommend Nate Hagens on YT for more on the ‘energy blindness’ issue, and what it means for our civilization to lose the last.

Odd and sus to include Russia for no particular reason…

Unfortunately it was paywalled.

I’m not an expert, but ASML uses a very powerful ultraviolet ‘cannon’ to edge patterns into their layers https://wikiless.northboot.xyz/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithography, and apparently (from the few lines of article txt) the Chinese are going for particle accelerators for edging instead. I wonder if they will use a beam or just fire away on a masked wafer.

Slightly ot, I think hybrid photonic computing is the future, but that would probably also benefit from smaller construction techniques, so …go go China.

If someone is interested in chip construction and new AI trends in that area, I can recommend ‘Asianometry’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UC1LpsuAUaKoMzzJSEt5WImw and especially ‘Anastacia in tech’ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw / https://redirect.invidious.io/channel/UCORX3Cl7ByidjEgzSCgv9Yw

They have not reported on this Chinese particle thing yet, tho…

Yeah, data can be beautiful - but is ugly if presented misleadingly. Only very little can be concluded from this ‘graph’ (without sources btw), but it is presented as if the inner west are the great core of enlightenment, spiraling out to the ‘dumber’ nations. The level of knowledge excellence is obviously related to the amount of dollu spent - which is nonsense. My equally valid opinion is that Western liberal/Capitalist education is exceedingly inefficient, and only optimized for wage-slavery. Notice how all the super ‘edumecated’ citizens from the west have been so easily propagandized to think that Russia is the bad guy. …China is the bad guy …socialism is bad …communism evil …Capitalism GREAT! We are the best!! …and so on and so on with similar infantile propaganda from the Capitalist elite. The average intellects in these ‘educated’ western nations is Embarrassing, and misinformation from constant propaganda doesn’t help much i’m afraid…

Looks like aprox. half of AI talent in US, are Chinese.

Surprised by Russia. They have a lot of skilled engineers/good education/science institutions. Anyway, they are sure to work with China now, so they’ll get accelerated quickly enough…

You need more than a llm to do that. You need a Cognitive Architecture around the model that include RAG to store/retrieve the data. I would start with an agent network (CA) that already includes the workflow you ask for. Unfortunately I don’t have a name ready for you, but take a look here: https://github.com/slavakurilyak/awesome-ai-agents

Not much help, but a quick search revealed this: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs

This seemed to be read-only tho, so not sure if it covers the use case you described. If you can program a little (AI help?) find a simple fuse filesystem in a language you know, fiddle with it and call ffmpeg or similar on receiving files.

I’m not a Gnome expert and are using the ‘dash2dock’ extension, but if I right click on rightmost ‘show apps’ icon, and select 'dash2dock settings, I can change opacity, bg color and such.

Not sure where else to change those settings, so apol’s if this is not applicable in your case.

A few ideas/hints: If you are up for some upgrading/restructuring of storage, you could consider a distributed filesystem: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Comparison_of_distributed_file_systems?lang=en.

Also check fuse filesystems for weird solutions: https://wikiless.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace?lang=en

Alternatively perhaps share usb drives from ‘desktop’ over ip (https://www.linux.org/threads/usb-over-ip-on-linux-setup-installation-and-usage.47701/), and then use bcachefs with local disk as cache and usb-over-ip as source. https://bcachefs.org/

If you decide to expose your ‘desktop’, then you could also log in remote and just work with the files directly on ‘desktop’. This oc depends on usage pattern of the files.
