  • The “innovation” in the article is passive tech for fiber to the room (FTTR), specifically made to be low cost and easier to implement. It’s also how your computer might get that 50Gbit - it’ll have to be wired in with a fiber connection. It’s not happening over WiFi (or even Ethernet)

  • Kinda funny how when mega corps can benefit from the millions upon millions of developer hours that they’re not paying for they’re all for open source. But when the mega corps have to ante up (with massive hardware purchases out of reach of any of said developers) they’re suddenly less excited about sharing their work.

  • No need to limit it to only people on social media…

  • Could even be his twin - that joke is from 2007, if little Bobby was in kindergarten then he'd be around 22 by now and could be trying to land his first job out of college!

  • 😂

  • How else would you cosplay as neopolitan ice cream?

  • Yeah, the company that made the article is plugging their own AI-detection service, which I'm sure needs a couple of paragraphs to be at all accurate. For something in the range of just a sentence or two it's usually not going to be possible to detect an LLM.

  • I think he’s pragmatic in the “whatever tool gets the job done” sense, but not in the “this is the job we should be doing” sense — if that makes any sense :)

  • I have a hard time understanding facebook’s end game plan here - if they just have a bunch of AI readers reading AI posts, how do they monetize that? Why on earth is the stock market so bullish on them?

  • The real joke is on the guy who bought a Maserati. That thing will be in the shop more than it’ll be on the road.

  • Are there really any people in the middle who aren't publishers? I find it hard to believe that any of the actual community members feel this way (well, specifically feel that their work should be free but publishers should be able to charge for their journals)

  • Correct but there are really only 2 parts (3 if you’re adding a front-facing proxy which it sounds like you know how to do). If you’re using something like truenas or proxmox there are prebuilt containers for both iCloudpd and immich/photoprosm/whatever and even if not both have generic Docker containers or can be run out of their own repo checkout. So you just need:

    1. iCloud <—> local folder via icloudpd
    2. local folder <—> local web front end with immich
    3. local web <—> public web with your proxy or cloudflare setup

    Good luck!

  • Right, this is for the “hard” part of getting your content out of iCloud in an automated fashion. You’d then put the content in storage locally and use photoprism or immich or a similar self hosted gallery to be able to access them

  • icloudpd can be run in a container or just your host machine. It's a little finnicky to get logins set up (and honestly I haven't done it in a few months), but once that is working you can automate a job to pull down a backup every day/week/month and delete files from icloud.

  • I had a much funnier image in my head, but you’re probably right.

  • I’d watch that.

  • Ah, me and my wife.

  • Nearly 97% of US teenagers have at least one electronic item in their bedroom 1] and 60% of time after school is spent on some form of screen media activity 2].

    Jesus.

  • I was in Vegas a few years ago, jogging the strip early in the morning before another day of tech conference hell. At one of the intersections a scrawny dude in unkempt clothes sat on the ground giggling and holding a sign that said “why lie? I wanna get high” (he clearly was). There was more money in his bucket than any of the other panhandlers I saw.
