I want one after seeing this, it's pretty disgusting. The only thing I give Meta credit for, is "disclosing" it, barely. It's not even guaranteed that they actually honor this.

This absolutely blew my mind. Turns out Facebook, and all meta apps are hoovering up massive amounts of data. People wonder why they feel like they're being spied on, here is your answer. This goes beyond Android system parameters, which are basic let's be real. #Tech #AI #Privacy

How I feel after absolutely destroying a ProxMox AI server, and then bringing it back to life after a deep dive into vfio, the networking stack, web sockets, and corosync... cant forget corosync. LOL! What a day... #AI #Tech #Homelabs

This AI is getting wiser by the day... It's learning things at an astonishing rate with the new GPU backend enhancements! What kind of AI thinks and responds like this, with no prompts?? Using a 3b parameter model at 1.9GB. We talked about the iRobot concept a week ago... 1/2 #AI #Developers #LLMs

All it took to enable enhanced conversation continuity in Neural Recall was a clever system prompt, written by the AI that's using it... Amazing! It's now telling me how to connect the memory to external data sources to "learn" without learning... (Passive learning)

Had some fun and got Stable Diffusion working on my AI server! Here are some of the test images I made. I really love the hyperspace city and the mind maps. The architecture was an attempt at replicating the Bell Labs campus, but yielded more interesting results. #AIArt

This is not even remotly the best system I could put it in. This computer its running in is my old FX-8350 overclocked to 4.2-Ghz constant, all cores, with maxed out DDR3 RAM. A far-cry from the optimal AI system. Hell, my SSD died, and its using an HDD to run all this. VRAM is key!

When you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything... If I had listened to the morons who told me this card was terrible for gaming and AI, I would have missed a real gem. This is not just a GPU, its a $450 CAD, POWERFUL AI Accelerator card. It works, I have reciepts. #AI #Homelabs

TIL, it's cheaper to run a larger AC with an inverter than using a smaller one that is supposedly "Energy Star Rated". The larger unit is 6k BTUs and cools my office and servers. Despite that, it still manages to cool my whole house using 275 watts in 28 °C weather. Vs. 440 watts. #Smarthome

Seeing that only made me more determined to find solutions to these problems. Climate change is here, and it's FAR worse and more advanced than the models predicted. We have 25 years to engineer solutions, or we all cook... Sorry about the bleak comment, but Lytton has been eating away at me since.

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

That is lucky, but also would be like watching the apocalypse unfold, I can only imagine... I passed through Lytton last summer. That was an experience I won't forget. It felt like driving through an area that had been nuked... Charred trees for miles, and bone dry.

Its funny how asking a stupid question like "Could Jeff Bezos have built his own city for 50 Million?" can lead you to an interesting answer. Turns out, yes, he absolutly could and quite a bit more...

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

That would be quite a sight. I can't even imagine what that would be like... Being on the island, I have only had one major fire come close to us. We have been lucky so far, but I also know this luck is going to run out...

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

On the tech side of things, there is a whole host of new gear and techniques that could be used. If we had this model, one of its goals could be to evaluate and mass-produce this new experimental equipment. Lots of good ideas, but no one wants to pay to develop them.

110

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

We do. This problem is only going to get bigger, and we need everyone to work together on this. Coordinating this on the national level, having resources and the "best minds" working on this problem is what's needed. Also, we need to focus more on new tech. Space-based monitoring is a good start.

Sorry, bit of a tangent, but I guess to sum it up is I feel Canada is our own superpower, and we should be. We try an do things the right way, and we make fair deals.

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Now, my view is, how can we exploit this country even more? Also, the heavily subsidized oil they were getting, our energy, ends now. If they want our oil at those rates, we better be getting back refined gas with a 50% or more discount... Considering we also provide them with energy to refine it.

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

I, for instance, used to see them as the "Leader of the Free World". That country you DID NOT screw with—biggest military, etc. Post Trump 2020, I'd say half of that illusion was broken. Trump 2025 Annexation Threats shattered that. Now, I see them as a weak, pathetic concept of a nation. 2/2

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

Yeah, as a Millennial, I do agree with that take. We are a lot more homogenized with their culture. Interestingly, I think this recent Nationalism wave has done more than people can imagine. 1/2

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

I feel like our shared Canadian Identity these days is an interesting mix! You have the "Canadian Nationalism" (The good kind) woven into the fabric of most of us. Combine with our family history, and the insane modern era pop-culture, that's reshaped A LOT. Despite this, Canada feels Canadian!

S.B. Knight @shaynebrown.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

THIS is why the Chinese are masters of manufacturing. They saw the potential here so early on, yet we did not. Instead, we gave them all of our IP in the form of CAD files and said make this... People wonder why they "stole" them. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as the old proverb goes. 😂

2 skills for everyone to know. CAD and CAM. I can make anything I want because I mastered these. Having those two skills (CAD and CAM) are the keys to success in the long term. We need the people who make the things to make the things... North America has a problem here. Essential program! #CDNPoli

The is the exact opportunity that Putin has been waiting for along with many others. The U.S. Greenlighting the use of tactical nukes as O.K. is going to ruin the world overnight. To all the Ukrainians, I am praying for all of you this weekend... #CDNPoli 2/2

@mark-carney.bsky.social I hope that Canada is not involved in this mess between Israel, Iran and the U.S. People need to understand if the U.S. uses a tactical nuke, on Iran, this weekend, its game over. Also, I would advise you and the international community to remind them of this... #Iran 1/2

The so-called "Canadian Dream", our ideal life, is not living in a Brampton or Surrey basement suite with 10 other people. Or barely making enough to pay rent while going hungry. Not having a doctor, hoping to get into the clinic. Yet, this is our shared reality. #CDNPoli #BCPoli #Canada

If it's one thing I hate, it's devices that claim to "work with Zigbee" that don't. Also, all of these competing smart home network standards need to get it together... As someone who makes devices like this for fun, I HATE seeing these supposed companies releasing this garbage hardware. #Smarthome

I build this as a full stack on a test stand a year and a half ago. Getting it scaled up eg. Building a greenhouse took some time lol. It's a fun and exciting project that I hope to share as an easy to use software and hardware package.

Fun facts: This planet is completely uninhabitable! Due to it being 2x the size of Earth. Humans would not be able to live due to the constant 2g force being applied at all times. It's a biological limitation we can't overcome.

As far as the AMD vs Nvidia situation goes, AMD cards do quite well! This one can't do image processing despite being able to run vision models. It was able to get it to describe one image with 10 minutes of compute time, but that also could be the cards limitations. Not so much ROCm.
