<p>Oh I have really been thinking long about this. The intelligence that we have in these models represent a time.<p>Now if I train a foundation models with docs from library of Alexandria and only those texts of that period, I would have a chance to get a rudimentary insight on what the world was like at that time.<p>And maybe time shift further more.</p>

<p>How do these things work with devices inside a NAT gateway? Most of our devices are inside a LAN. Even if a server gets started, it won't be visible to the outside world, unless we play with the modem settings.<p>Now, a hacker/state who has penetrated a device can do an upload of data from the local decice to a CNC server.<p>But that seems risky as you need to do it again and again. Or do they just get into your device once and upload everything to CNC?</p>

<p>Why is it that compilers don't do this?

Zoom-in takes you to Assembly and zoom-out to the CTO.</p>

<p>Thank you for the response. It looks interesting.<p>>I needed a quick and easy web server<p>I am trying to reason with what I know, but wouldn't something like "python -m http.server 9000" suffice? Or nginx? These are battle tested and python is there on most platforms.<p>Or is there more depth to this specific web server that others don't have?</p>
