And I get that the Apple DOS and Apple U/X performance on this machine might not be very good. Early 90’s computers and needing to be wrangled to even support normal, supported operations and configurations wasn’t uncommon.

Of course, getting a router SOC with firmware from the factory , soldering on the Ethernet ports and adding RAM and storage, installing an OS, throwing it in a case with a power supply into a box isn’t solving the problem of insecure foreign firmware but is meeting the “Made in US” demand.

So what counts and who gets exemptions will be telling.

I can’t think of a complete start to finish, OS to mosfets, computer that is 100% manufactured in the United States.

If we are going to talk about how much the cost of public transportation such as trains or buses are covered by taxes it would only be fair to look at roads and personal vehicles too.

If Starlink’s are about 2 tons each (the v3’s are going to be much larger) and they each have a roughly 5 year life span and the 10,000 currently are equally spread over that lifespan (so around 2,000 a year need to be replaced) that’s equivalent to around 10 tons per day of Starlink material breaking up in the atmosphere.

With the 1 million SpaceX datacenters Musk talks about and an original projected satellite Starlink swarm size of 40,000, that number balloons to something like 500 tons per day.

So while today it is only a fraction of the total amount of material breaking up in the atmosphere, the idea that multiple companies could have Starlink size satellite swarms with lifespans measured in a few years we start to easily dwarf what meteorites do.

I have the setting to only send that specific host’s identity configured or else I DoS myself with this many keys trying to sign into a computer sitting next to me on my desk through ssh.

Like I can’t imagine complaining about adding 5 lines to a config file whenever you set up a new service to ssh onto. And you can effectively copy and paste 90% of those 5 short lines, just needing to edit the hostname and key file locations.

10 billion a year supposedly for the past 5 years now.

That is how he made the website unusable. Like a billion people have Facebook/Instagram accounts but Facebook is equally unusable without an account.

And the second part about models, if model choice doesn’t matter, what do they do? If LogClaw injests my logs, applies your custom algorithm to automatically create intelligent alerts without me having to configure anything, what does the LLM do?

If the LLMs are necessary for this, then mode choice should matter no? Some 2 year old version of Mistral or OLLAMA or NanoGPT isn’t going to perform as well as OpenAI or Claude no?

But I mean you still have to pay for a Claude API with Moltclaw or whatever no?

The 1 seat per 50,000 from the article is a little obscene. I think switching to cube root apportionment and single at-large approval vote would be my preferred choice.

With cube root 1 billion citizens would result in a Congress with 1,000 members. A single national at-large district with party list approval voting would entirely eliminate the possibility of gerrymandering. But even multi-member State-wide districts with approval or ranked choice would still go a long way.

Of course that still leaves the Senate but at least for the House these reforms would be massive. I would eliminate the Presidency too but that’s whole other story.

It would be nice to be able try some of these without having to jump through half a dozen sales calls and find out it is cost prohibitive or your team is way too small for the kind of business they target.

You don’t just leave all your ports open on the firewall and only close the ones exploited. You default deny and only allow the bare minimum you need in.
