This is genuinely really cool.
The best/worst part of the AI boom for me has been waiting for the advances to trickle down in terms of open source models and on-device models, rather than having to send everything up to the cloud.
Obviously this isn’t an open source model, but the on-device processing is great.
The 3D map covers a volume of about one cubic millimetre, one-millionth of a whole brain, and contains roughly 57,000 cells and 150 million synapses — the connections between neurons. It incorporates a colossal 1.4 petabytes of data.
Assuming this means the total data of the map is 1.4 petabytes. Crazy to think that mapping of the entire brain will probably happen within the next century.
Nope, running locally on the Pi.
That’s not the point of this I think lol. It’s very impressive as a tech demo, that even a device even as underpowered as a Pi can run these AI models to a passable degree.
Just to play devils advocate here, in both of these scenarios:
Imagine someone would sneak into your home and steal your shoes, socks and underwear just to get off on that or give it to someone who does.
This reminds me of that fetish, where one person is basically acting like a submissive pet and gets treated like one by their “master”. They get aroused by doing that in public, one walking with the other on a leash like a dog on hands and knees. People around them become passive participants of that spectactle. And those often feel violated.
The person has the knowledge that this is going on. In he situation with AI nudes, the actual person may never find out.
Again, not to defend this at all, I think it’s creepy af. But I don’t think your arguments were particularly strong in supporting the AI nudes issue.
For you maybe. You think your grandma could set up home assistant?
Slower as in 500ms slower iirc.
Linux users when bloat
Ferb, I know what we’re gonna do today
Someone’s working on an open source implementation of the low level wifi firmware for the ESP32, info here. Would be cool if they do actually manage to reverse engineer something usable.
Linux isn’t for mainstream users yet. It wasn’t when I tried switching to it several years back, it isn’t now.
I tried Zorin recently, UI looked absolutely beautiful so I wanted to try and get into it on my laptop.
Only issue is, the trackpad scroll speed was too fast. I went into settings to try and slow this down. No dice, this option just want available. I tried googling, which led me to some stackexchange posts, which I tried to use to solve the issue by changing xinput or something device parameters.
I tried for maybe 15 mins to do this without success. This kinda stuff is why Linux is not ready for the masses yet. I shouldn’t have to touch the command line for something like this. On windows I could have changed this without googling anything or touching the cli.
I know this is just one thing, but it’s representative of my other experiences with Linux in general. Things seem to have improved since several years ago (needed terminal to even get touchscreen working in Firefox), bit it’s just not there yet.
I really do want to switch to Linux, but I don’t want my computer os to be a hobby project that I have to sink time into to keep functional, I need it to be a tool that lets me get work done with minimal roadblocks.
Just wanted to chime in that I’m not an apple user, I primarily use android and windows. iPad is the only iOS device I use. I flat out disagree with clunky, Apple’s UI design (on iOS at least) is beautiful. UX wise, I can’t comment on functional differences between Android and iOS, at this stage in time, both are comparably usable for most people.
You can say many things about apple but clunky and unintuitive would not be it.
Honestly mad respect to these Devs man. Gotta realise they’re doing this stuff for free and they’re not getting paid. If anyone hasn’t checked out the Asahi Linux blog, do give it a read, it has done fascinating deep dives into Apple’s hardware engineering.
What’s that?

Most people can’t tell the difference between low bitrate vs high bitrate. Usually just confirmation bias.
Have you truly tested whether you can? I don’t mean playing each side by side and seeing whether you can tell the difference, but actually testing yourself in a way that you don’t know which is being played (like having someone else play it for you).
You can block ads on the NVIDIA shield launcher using Pihole of adguard DNS. Just need to go into settings for your wifi network on your shield, change dns1 and dns2, then reset the home app. It won’t be able to download new ads, so the banner on the home page will stay the default ad for several of Google’s own apps like play store and YouTube or whatever.
I too was not able to find a third party launcher that looked as nice as the original.
It’s a breach. Name and username should not be publically accessible using the email address alone.
Oooh that’s pretty bad
