We just posted a memorial for Louis Gerstner, the CEO that turned around IBM. I think reading about Louis Gerstner gives a pretty good example of why this would be a bad idea.
My business experience is that company culture is very important to a company’s success and I’m just doubtful that this can be created through AI.
That could be survival bias and smells of a multiple testing problem. Surely there would also be a few automated systems to that sometimes would be able to turn around a company.
LLM CEOs would be middle of the road, I suspect. Yes, they could be much more in touch with the goings on within the business and make fewer baseless decisions. Though you would not get an innovative or culture-building leader that is necessary in some circumstances.
i really with raspberry pi foundation released a pi with built in nvme instead of using a hat. i think using flash memory is the true bottleneck on the system
Heh, I'm the opposite. I wish the rpi stayed the course of cheapest "working" SBC, and move their high-end boards to a different brand. Raspberry Sigma, or 67 or whatever gets the younguns crazy these days.
After the pandemic, the "25$" SBC suddenly became 100+ with low availability. The main thing that made rpis worth it is gone now, and they're all chasing number go up on benchmarks.
I hear you. There is obviously a lot of tension between price and performance. I think the introduction of boards with larger and larger ram specs really pushed the cost just before the pandemic and then scarcity spiked things even more. As when I purchased the rpi4, I got the maximum RAM and that became expensive.
However, SD Cards are really terrible devices to run a general purpose computer on and they are designed for storing large files like photos, videos and mp3’s sequentially not the SWAP, logs, and databases that a full operating system is constantly writing and accessing in a random fashion.
I think if you are running a base 2gb, then maybe absolute value makes sense, but once you start hitting the larger RAM configutations, an M2 slot is a no brainer.
I think the cheapest working SBC is really the zero line.
I just don’t believe that this is a long term problem. The costs and chips are going to come down, the machines are going to be more optimized for these types of functions and local AI is going to become a bigger and bigger thing.
I agree. it’ll be like the early days of personal computers, when only big mainframes existed.
But with AI there’s a problem: there will always be someone with a bigger machine than yours, and an AI smarter than the one you can run locally. This is something that scares me a little...
well, I think its relevant to tech, vc, and startups.
An event like this exposes a chink in legacy media practices that could be distrupted by a new media player like youtube, or whatever.
If 60minutes had used a more modern distribution platform such as Apple TV or YouTube they could have programmatically squashed the distribution of the episode without the need to police their various global distribution partners. I mean frankly, global bespoke distribution deals are a terrible UX anyhow.
They failed to do that in this case and here is the fallout.
I missed doses long enough that I had to start at the beginning, but I avoided that because I had to book and appointment with my doctor and get prescribed the lower dose, etc.
So I gained the weight all back and then lose it again when I got back on the doses.
Hasn’t the news basically been doing this for years? I’m not sure that “creators” should be singled out for this. We’ve been living in that world for a long long time.
I feel this doesn’t really address whether we are losing something privacy or security related by not having NAT. I think my main devices are always updated Mac iPhone or iPad and can handle it, but do I really want my thermostat or doorbell or lock or garage door opener or light switch directly accessible on the Internet or is the nat serving a useful purpose? I don’t feel like this is addressed in this article.
> but do I really want my thermostat or doorbell or lock or garage door opener or light switch directly accessible on the Internet or is the nat serving a useful purpose?
You should, but the exposure from having no firewall is much higher without NAT. Packets with private network IPs are martians on the internet and will not find their way to your device unless they come from the same network and the ISP's infrastructure doesn't drop them. IPv6 addresses are routable across the internet so the packets will most likely get to your router, meaning anyone on the internet can talk to your LAN in the absence of a firewall.
The reality is that consumer router firmware is horrible in every aspect, especially security, and this isn't going to change with IPv6 rollout. I fear the most likely scenario is that ISPs will set up inbound firewalls on their end, and then we'll be even worse off than we are right now.
Those naughty incoming packets can hit your private devices even with NAT-without-state full-firewall. The details depend on how your NAT actually implements the translation, but it’s perfectly possible for $randomHighPort to send all its incoming traffic straight to some device. Said another way, a NAT is not guaranteed to do something like match entries based on the layer 4 4-tuple.
