<p>Indeed - background noise will tend to lead to a lot more false positives, but you should use it as a guide rather than inherently trusting results. Same goes for using BirdNET-go and other models, though these do allow you to be very strict with detections and reduce false positives more.</p>

<p>You can adjust which detections are accepted based on confidence level, so it might be that the settings are very strict.</p>

<p>Getting strange issues whereby routes appear and disappear as I zoom out?<p>I understand some routes should change as you zoom, but this seems much more random For example; I might see 5 routes zoomed in, but I zoom out one level and they all disappear completely?</p>

<p>Just to note, eggs are not as ethical as you may assume... We have bred chickens so that they lay an unhealthy amount of eggs, which is likely a pretty stressful life experience. The original breed of bird (Red junglefowl) laid roughly a dozen eggs a year, where as modern layer hens will lay 300+. So it's not really "comes out anyway".<p>They often get medical conditions like Keel bone fractures and reproductive tract disease and they're also culled at around 18 months when output drops (tiny fraction of their lifespan). Oh and the male chicks don't lay, so roughly one per hen gets killed on day one.<p>I still think overall milk is probably worse, but plant-based is biggest win to reduce suffering overall!</p>

<p>No doubt Fable can outperform on many coding tasks, but the way you phrase it really exaggerates the gap and I'd suggest that for 95% of tasks, most devs simply don't need Fable level, and in fact, despite mostly using Claude, I have found codex is generally quicker at most tasks and can be even better than Fable with certain languages.</p>

<p>This. 
And maybe anecdotal, but my experience of people who have used melatonin is that they sleep very deeply, but for a shorter amount of time. But likely they will wake up after around 6/7 hours sleep, rather than the recommended 8 hours of sleep. And once woken up, it's very hard to go back to sleep.</p>

<p>Funnily enough, I ran across an article this morning titled <i>"What you hate about AI is the capitalism."</i> and I feel like you can basically apply that to all tech!<p>It’s probably naive to assume a different system would cure all our ills. But I do wonder - if humanity acted for the collective good instead of individual self-interest, how different would our technology be? And how different would we be because of it?<p>Link to the article for those interested:

<p>I agree - I think we really need to encourage reduction in the obvious negative habits and encourage people to take up more positive habits. eg.<p>- Use car less; walk, cycle, or use public transport more
- Eat meat & air-freighted food less; eat local/seasonal produce more
- Treat household items as disposable less; repair what breaks and buy for longevity more<p>I am sure there are plenty more, but how to incentivise these things is a hard problem. One exception being food, where you could easily shift agricultural subsidies away from intensive factory farming and towards local/seasonal food (details may be more complex, but it's do-able!)</p>

<p>Is it possible that these companies simply fork the existing protocols and use the technology without buying into the existing "crypto world"?<p>Yes it won't be quite so decentralised, but say a number of major banks all spin up a node for say a <i>JPM asset trading blockchain</i>, it becomes semi-decentralised, so they have some advantage of a using a more secure shared ledger, but they also retain more control and thus probably more acceptance within banking, as big players can keep a walled-garden of sorts.</p>

<p>Completely disagree that 99% of people will just do it.<p>A lot of people are already skeptical of the frontier labs - I moved over to Claude from OpenAI when they bent over for the US government. And I'll certainly move on again if Claude start asking for photo ID.</p>

<p>The TLDR is that the best setup is probably Mac Studio (128GB RAM) / MacBook (36GB)  with Qwen 3.6 35B (3B active params), or Qwen 3.5 122B model (this one is slow though).<p>These models are still very capable with good hardware, but they do lack the deep reasoning of major models and require more precise prompting.<p>So unless you really need the privacy, or have a lot of excess cash, it is not  recommended, as considering the price of major models, it's just extremely cost inefficient!</p>

<p>Since when did the Loop demonstrate it could beat subway systems?<p>A heavy rail subway line can transport 30,000+ people per hour compared to vegas loop which maxes out at 4500 people/hr. Plus every single Tesla in the tunnel requires a human driver, unlike trains. 
Even <i>IF</i> Elon managed to create these larger Tesla vans, they won't reach those numbers on a single route.</p>
