Ham radio, electronics, energy markets, databases, electric cars, backpacking, running, kayaking, data science, MSIS achievement unlocked, love not hate. He/him. My opinions are my own. Born and raised in the southern U.S. below the Mason and Dixon line, and actively trying to move North. Post kids, I'm looking forward to living smaller, owning less, and being able to walk or bike to the grocery store

Our politicians were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
Ironic: There is a phrase popular with US partisans that is contagious and has spread like wildfire, and effectively shuts down critical thinking and examination of ideas by its adherents in favor of classifying an entire population as somehow flawed, afflicted or inferior. When someone uses this phrase, I know there is no hope of civil discourse and the nuanced discussion of ideas they hypocritically claim to want. The phrase: "woke mind virus".

Always remember, fame is ephemeral and famous people are just naked apes under their clothes like you and me. Don't worship people. Don't let them do the thinking for you. Think for yourself.

Not sure what hashtag to use...

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.
Reading the headlines this week in the United States and I'm pretty convinced we're at a CODE BROWN moment. I would elaborate, but I'm not entirely convinced it is safe.
Ham radio unpopular opinion: (US) Ham radio has a moderation problem. I haven't turned on my radio in months and probably won't for a while. The nets are typically fine, POTA was fun, Field Day was full of challenge and camaraderie, and there's always a project on the bench. These are the best of ham radio. But recently the worst has been shown again, and it's intolerably ugly. How many times does one turn off the radio in utter disgust over unmoderated hate before one never turns it on again?
I think we need to say, as a community, a nation, a world: While we don't mind AI providing valuable and useful tools for people, we don't want AI to replace people. We don't want to entrust our collective future to an AI that we can't turn off because it now thinks for us, instead of merely helping us think. This is not a future we want, and we must be loud about it.

Access open-source inference and compute at a fraction of the cost. Build with us.

I've just realized some AI companies are now blending AI and blockchain in such a way that the AI can never be truly turned off, just like we can't turn off Bitcoin or the Internet as long as some fool exists somewhere that wants to run it, which will be for the rest of human existence however long that is.
