Does anyone happen to know if there is a N100 model that supports HDMI-CEC so I can make my old TV set smart with a recent Kodi and maybe some retro-games? But I’d rather not let it consume 9W or whatever such a machine needs all day long. So it’d need to start and shut down on its own. Preferably without manual additional steps involved, hence the CEC…

I think we have some more pressing issues with email. We need a new protocol that effectively fights spam, phishing and adds encryption and signatures. And that protocol needs close to 100% adoption around the world. I don’t mind if we also go ahead and make it more efficient and add features like automatic deletion etc. But that’s just the cherry on top.

Do you install the CA certificate or the client certificate? Because both aren’t the same. The app needs to authenticate with a client certificate file. The server has a server certificate that is checked against the CA certificate. So you’d install that (CA) in the android system certificate store and additionally give a client certificate file to the app.

And since it wasn’t ever a secret that these services are for data harvesting, they got next to nothing from me. I mean does it make a substancial difference if they sell your data or use it to get to know you so they can do targeted advertising… Or train an AI with it? I’d say the latter isn’t even that bad compared to the other business model. But yeah, be cautious about these tech companies. Generally speaking they’re not invested in your privacy. On the contrary. If you value that, use other services. And it’s been that way for quite some time.

Well, nothing lasts forever. I’d say distributing them on something that lasts 10+ years is better than doing noting. Otherwise they just get lost, buried in the attic or the next harddrive crash takes them.

I have a NFS and Samba share to my NAS. And Jellyfin exports things via DLNA / UPnP so there is always a local route to the storage. Also I’ve set the IP address of the server in the /etc/hosts file of my router. So even when internet is down, the DNS can resolve it.

I think as a country they don’t need “in” on AI. They already do lots of AI, robotics… Published language models that are on par with what’s publicly available elsewhere, use quite some electricity for AI compared to other countries… So I think it’s just the next AI thing, this time from China. And probably part of some strategy to end up in a total surveillance, techno dystopia. Now they need to connect it to WeChat and all of their camera surveillance and they’re almost there.

Yeah, it’s so much novel. And Jarvis - of course - is the only scifi to compare things to.

The article is kind of all over the place mixing high-school graduates and fourth-graders? I can see how you’re sluggish at typing in fourth grade… The numbers for a 17 year old would be interesting… But yeah, 13 words per minute isn’t impressive. And most young people I know use phones and tablets, not computers. So naturally a good amount of them isn’t good around these things.

Yeah we do. But the AI communities here didn’t really take off. Most people here just downvote everything about AI because they’re tired of it. But there are some people who discuss that form of AI that people can run themselves, modify and participate.

Lots of people seem to like them. I’ve read several AI summaries also here on Lemmy. And they kind of always miss the nuance. Oftentimes they entirely miss the point. So much that it sometimes becomes wrong.

Ah okay. I don’t have a Fritzbox here. I suppose that does the trick. My idea was to use that to test if incoming IPv6 works. So disregard any services on the Fritzbox itself and just see if you can access it directly. And if yes, configure an IPv6 port forward to the NAS.

Isn’t myfritz plain old IPv6 directly to the router without any proxying or tunneling? If yes, communication would mean IPv6 packets make their way through the ISP to the router.

If you google it, you’ll find lots of similar questions for O2. I think you have to contact their customer support and get that activated once.

And have a look at your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Sometimes you can do it via IPv6 already, just not over IPv4 because there is some translation in the way. (In case they want too much money to give you a real IPv4 address.)

Maybe you can try if you can open your FritzBox UI from the outside with your my.fritz address. I think that has IPv6 and a port forward in place (if activated).

And btw: It’s perfectly fine to do it. People need storage and online collaboration. Access to their data while away.

I’d blame capitalism. And corporations prefering short term growth and attracting investors. And the whole modern business model of exploiting users private data to sell advertisements. That’s how the whole internet works these days and thak makes being evil baked into every successful company.

And btw: Zuck did one good thing. He personally gave us competetive AI models to tinker around with. If it weren’t for people like him, we would have AI dominate us without the average person having access to more than the online services like ChatGPT. Yeah but that doesn’t take away from the things you lined out.

That’s alright. I learned something anyways. Maybe I’m a bit overly cautios with these companies. I mean they even combine two of the buzzwords that attract investors… “AI” and “Quantum”… But I don’t know much about the topic. Usually we have some classical signal processing available to handle sensor data. But AI can do things like imaging and finding patterns well. I can see how there might be some synergy between the two fields.

you’re dismissing everything […]

Not at all. On the contrary, I’d love to learn some more about it. That’s why I’m asking all these questions. The thing is, we’re talking about something here (quantum computers) and you’re saying they have one. And then you go on talking about an entirely different subject, saying MCG is useful and they bought some SQUID sensors… Of course I’m dismissing that. Since it has nothing to do with the conversation we’re having?! I don’t even disagree. Quantum effects certainly exist. And I bet measuring small magnetic fields is super useful in many applications. But what’s that got to do with the question I asked?

That article talks about a bedside magnetometer device, used to measure the heartbeat of a person. I can’t find any reference to quantum computers 🙁

That certainly counts as hype. But I wonder if there’s any independent information out there about these computers. All I can find is self-advertising and news about investors. I mean we occasionally do get these claims that someone proved quantum supremacy. But as far as I know the validity often isn’t clear or the results aren’t reproduced yet. And sadly I can’t skim the papers since lots of them aren’t open access.

And for research it doesn’t matter if you need days to cool down the computer just for one calculation. Or if most results are wrong due to noise and you have to re-do every computation on a traditional computer to check which results are correct. But I’d expect it takes them years or decades from a protopype like that to something actually useful. And as of now we haven’t even solved superconductivity or the temperatures or decoherence. So I’m always a bit careful with these claims frome the quantum startups.

And does the company you mentioned actually own a quantum computer prototype? Because it seems their focus is writing algorithms/software.
