Hahahah… making up for the lack of farmer rewards with the 9M plus nodes out there,

Indeed the days of 200 (or 500) ant packets falling from the sky are now folklore.

It was fun… while it lasted… the first 2-3 days or so, haha.
I turned off half my nodes for a while this past week… but looking forward to the next release… and will then turn them back on… (hardware is already paid for so might as well let it contribute as long as the hardware stays online).

I just keep chipping away, adding more used mini PCs… just ordered the 5th!

FBI now wants access to all the encrypted data on iPhones and Android phones.

Apple should have said to their UK customers that Apple were no longer doing business in the UK.
Then the outcry against the government would force them to back down, and then Apple could resume and not have to change anything
But Apple don’t care, they really don’t

If governements are to work for the people, encryption needs to be available for everyone to use.
If information is power, arguably encryption is one of the biggest power levelers available. It is absolutely needed to keep the state working for the people and not against them.
This feels like a battle than the common person already has the high ground on. They just need to stand firm and reject companies trying to erode that position.
(And use autonomi, ofc…)

From the Forbes article: “The bureau’s quiet warning was confirmed just a few weeks ago.”
Kash Patel (the new FBI director) was just confirmed a few days ago, so before he could weigh in on this demand … I suspect he will stop it from happening. He’s a free speech guy and I’m sure he understands the importance of privacy laws.
So will wait and see a while longer on this one, but I think it may turn out to be a false alarm.
There is hope for us human coders yet!

This will be an interesting year. It seems large. training runs brought us pretty close to solving many software tasks without a human. Perhaps grok3 / claude4 et. will take us a bit further there. Then the “thinking” elements (01 etc.) how much farther do they take us in coding, if at all.
I honestly feel people are missing this and it’s going to be interesting. Here’s what I note
- LLM are bias amplifiers
- They try and please
That means folk can make them make mistakes or agree with bias as though the bias is correct. This part is where I see most “look at this, I am a genius” type things being said. It’s also why many software devs fail to use them properly and specify in great detail what they want.
However, the bias amplification is really cool to watch. I find enormous value in many of the LLMs for different reasons, I am not motivated with images and video models, except for real world modelling reasons. So with just LLM via speech or typing I think it is fascinating.
So if you hate LLMs you can make them say silly things
if you are biased they will tend to agree with you and give you more reasons to be more biased.
So using them effectively means being really clever about how you speak with them. It means you have to be emotionless and make huge efforts not to steer a direction.
That is super hard to do and I think for many people, may be impossible without significant retraining (for the human that is). This is what interests me here.
As these get smarter will the average human lose the ability to glean information, leaving only those that are themselves of minimal bias and ego, the ones who will be able to learn from them?
That juncture will be very interesting to watch.

Agree with this a lot.
They really do reflect the bias of the person asking. So many times I see people give the reposes of an LLM and when you look at the question, its no wonder the LLM gave that biased answer.
Leading questions, even if the person does not realise it because their bias makes them blind to it.
If LLMs had real reasoning methods then maybe they could point out bias to the asker before answering. Like a opposing lawyer objecting to the question to the witness

Of course they do - but this is also why they are valuable for creative tasks.
Using them to judge things in reality for you is the tricky part. But they can still be good here if prompted well … we are all still learning how to do this, so I say, give people time to develop their skills in giving good prompts.
And they are about to get it.
