The biggest shift, in my mind, is that there will no lower bar for morality. Companies goals do not need to be aligned with society to trade for labour. The only lever we have is to block new data centers from being built.
For me, LLMs tend to engage the 'language center' that drains me faster than the 'problem solving center' I usually reserve for writing code. We really need a different abstraction the bridges the gap between human and programming language, and load balance between these two parts of the brain more effectively.
I've been thinking recently of creating a programming language where you write mostly python, but can just "hand wave" away the boring stuff for the agent to do. If you don't want to deal with it, just type in a prompt or pseudocode and it will get filled in. Kinda like using the ai-assisted image editing software.
the main difference being that you don't switch between an agent chat window and the code. Just leave a note to the agent and go back to coding as usual, while the agent fills in the gap.
That’s really cool. I think you nailed it, English isn’t the best way to encode my intentions in code. A pseudo language is likely much more efficient.
Seems like Localsend doesn't currently work reliably with Tailscale enabled. This is a bummer. Hope they also allow sending files between clients on the same tailnet, that'll be super neat.
Super cool, lock-in is very real. We are overflowing with Duplo and Lego sets because I just don't want to deal with another system. There are, of course, other models on Thingiverse, Printables, etc., but knowing these are properly designed to fit and work is a huge plus. Cudos to the team!
I think it’s not right to blame teachers, because you cannot control that right? Agree it’s far too hard to find aspirational teachers, but they are naturally in demand and will be snatched up by well paying positions, like private schools. The tool is supposed to help given the current suboptimal teaching practices.
Anyone has done mesh WiFi (ideally triband) using off the shelf parts and Linux?
I have an Orbi AX system which works reliably, but now I want to upgrade the radio to WiFi 7 and that means I need to upgrade all the hardware.
Hoping to move to using off the shelf parts so in the future I can just change the radio (ideally bunch of USB sticks).
I understand this is not strictly just the router. I can (and used to have) a router as separate device, but any mesh WiFi right now that I can find need a pricy router that acts as the coordinator, essentially negates the economic benefits.
That's a bigger can of worms than you might expect. Most consumer WiFi chips only barely support AP mode, and I'm not aware of any that can do multiple bands simultaneously. You'd probably need 4 adapters on the repeater for triband. One to connect upstream, one for each downstream band. Three instances of hostapd all configured with the same SSID and auth for each downstream interface.
Then there's the roaming issue. This is largely what the commercial "mesh" systems try to solve: deciding / helping inform when clients should switch APs. There are many solutions and none of them are without issues, including the commercial ones. Here's a starting point: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/roaming
