Maybe. If you’re talking about the invasive forms of BCI (ie not EEG) then it could be better. Biocompatibility is difficult, the article doesn’t go super in depth, but assuming they don’t get attacked by the immune system then maybe. But you still have to implant them by opening up the skull so there is that.

Wish my grandfather hadn’t left x.x

So I don’t doubt their motives— but was there a specific thing that they said about locking hardware?

Blarg I don’t know if corporations know what a teacher, student, or hobby is.

students, educators, and hobbyists will be empowered to rapidly prototype and test new solutions, with a clear path to commercialization

I like the idea of it; yet you can’t host private repos. I don’t want to be locked in to GitHub but as someone starting their career it’s important to show that you’re working on stuff. Hence I worry that moving away from GitHub will negatively impact my interviewing prospects.

Lmao typo

I have an i7-2600 prebuilt for my NAS— is idle most of the time, bought it for $100 4 years ago. Have pretty cheap power at like $0.12 per KWh, but again mostly idle so probably doesn’t cost much anyway.

I would say it can sometimes be nice to have an old Laptop for this purpose, you have to slightly over build your solar but can be nice to have a mouse and keyboard attached and monitor, ssh works. Still have an hp laptop with a core i5 2nd gen sitting out in my greenhouse, is a little more power hungry but not terrible on idle, and is nice to be able to configure changes to watering without going back inside or wrecking the zen by bringing phone.

One side doing bad things doesn’t make another side doing bad things ok. Democracy isn’t perfect but it is better than the rest of the systems. Money in politics sours the pot.

Eh I dunno there’s so much infrastructure that is human centric; if you could make a humanoid robot it could easily traverse all the human designed places

Ok this is interesting can I ask how you know that they scaled back their compute? Without looking into it too much it seemed like they were full steam ahead (revamping three mile island).

You should back up your windows 10 pc as an image and use it as a virtual machine on the Mac or some other Linux environment. Once support stops nothing really bad would happen, besides security stuff and maybe perhaps some unexpected hugs. So you could just disconnect it from the internet too but the VM option isn’t reliant on the hardware which could go bad.

I am also interested in said experiences

I think it says 23Hz or something

Nice I wasn’t old enough (at least my parents thought so) to have my own computer at the time but I remember my dad showing me a long index of distros around then and thinking it was cool that there was puppy Linux and with “damn small Linux” that you could curse in the distro name

Sure but not by at least an order of magnitude

What are the specs of the 2011 laptop?

I mean American isn’t looking so hot right now, but that doesn’t mean China is suddenly an angel
