- Having AI working with and for me is hugely exciting. My creativity is not something an AI can outmode. It will augment it. Right now ideas are cheap, implementation is expensive. Soon, ideas will be more valuable and implementation will be cheap. The economy is not zero sum nor is creativity.
- Many of the same skills that we honed by investing that time and effort into being good software developers make us good AI prompters, we simply moved another layer of abstraction up the stack.
- You could make the same argument about the printing press. Some people like forming the letters by hand, others enjoy actually writing.
- Fred has been going at Tesla far longer than Elon has been political.
- My understanding is Fred (Electrek) has been nothing but negative about Tesla since he got upset that they haven't released the roadster yet. Something to do with having enough referral points to get one. It has become his whole identity and it is sad to see.
- This take is pure Luddite nonsense. AI "lowering labor value while boosting capital" ignores centuries of automation: productivity gains cut costs, expand markets, create new jobs, and raise real wages despite short-term disruption.
Steam engines, electricity, computers displaced workers but spawned far more opportunities through new industries and cheaper goods. Same pattern now.
The "jobless masses stuck with 1GB phones eating slop" fantasy is backwards. Compute keeps getting vastly cheaper and more capable; AI speeds that up.
"Terrible for indie creators and startups"? The opposite: AI obliterates barriers to building, shipping, and competing. Solo founders are moving faster than ever.
It's the same tired doomer script we get with every tech wave. It ages poorly.
- Does uboot work on this?
- Hardly, you can use .ssh/config to configure an SSH key just for this service.
- It's worse than that sadly, there is no way to have it globally removed. You either have to use a VPN or age check with every website that requires it (or at least whichever service they partner with, I've not even looked).
- Some sites geoblock the UK because of our less than sensible laws e.g. imgur.
- I always need lower power consumption. I'm in the UK and my power costs are $0.40 per kWh. Even running a raspberry pi 5 24/7 would cost me $25 per year
- I don't understand what it is doing here either.
- Dentists did avoid aerosolising procedures when COVID protections were in place, along with upgrading to FFP3 masks and full face visors.
- I don't remember U-boot support being missing for so long on Raspberry Pi 4. Is there something unique about the Raspberry Pi 5 that makes U-boot support harder?
- Re: Disk Utility - that old school disk still represents disks just as the old school floppy icon still represents save even though most of us haven't used floppy disks in decades now.
- Maybe they are poisoning the well to slow their competitors? Get the funding you need secured for the data centers and the hiring, hire everyone you need and then put out signals that there is another AI winter.
- Exactly, we need to fund the people that have the knowhow now to either document it fully so it can be replaced later or to replace it now. Before that knowledge of building and operating it for so long is lost forever.
- Yes they can be trained up but a mechanic working on a car will never understand all of the undocumented design decisions that went into its production. They understand the what but not necessarily all of the why. Not only that but like you say it isn't a popular path meaning you aren't getting a broad (or deep) talent pool.
- If someone was on the original team writing this software when they were in their mid 20s then they are now in their 70s. If we don't start rebuilding some of this software soon there won't be anyone alive that understands it intimately in the way only an original author could.
- The skills required to maintain old codebases atrophy and we are barely training new people to do it so the skills pool shrinks. That means it doesn't get regular maintenance and it means disaster response in situations like this is slow and expensive.
Whilst it would be a major upheaval to switch to a clean room engineered implementation using 2025 best practices it would at least increase the talent pool that can work on it effectively.
There does likely come a point where it is cost effective to rebuild it both in reduced unplanned downtime and reduced maintenance costs.
- The amount of Argumentum ad Nazium / Reductio ad Hitlerum going around at the moment is getting really tiresome.
Can we stick to the actual issues instead of invoking Nazis? It’s not helping the discussion.
- This is not just LLM drivel — It is drive by LLM drivel.
- It isn't AGI, it is domain specific intelligence.
- Not everyone knows how to use Cron, the comment is a good tip for those that don't. The target audience for a solution like this might be less technical than the average Github user.
- How can it be done without a 3rd rail?
- That's a clever solution that would use less processing power. A camera pointed at the door provides the benefit of being useful for other purposes e.g. person detection / recognition and standard security camera purposes.
