There is an empirical way of doing it - best one I’ve seen online so far is this:
I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
Map usage times for a week.
In the middle of a non usage time type the string of characters that are first typed at the start of usage time.
Then open a browser using keyboard shortcuts (does Win+R open a browser in Windows if you type a URL in?) , type a URL, type in all learned username password combos, close browser using keyboard shortcuts.
Well you see, engagement is down, and the whole “sponsored content” thing is in a death spiral due to AI slop. So Meta has decided to cut out the middleman and generate their own AI slop, because surely their version of personalised AI slop will solve the whole engagement problem and keep line always going up, because if it’s one thing users love, it’s an endless torrent of AI slop.
And holy shit does their algorithm latch onto any minor interest in their content.
Accidentally tapped on a floor tiling video the other day, three days of tiling and handyman videos jammed into my feed and me pressing the “not interested” button on every single one.
Facebook, I am there for the rare post from my 150 or so friends and family. That’s it. Nothing else.
The reason we don’t use it anymore is because actual posts from real humans we know are buried under a torrent of shit. Sometimes their posts take days to surface leading to all sorts of chain-mail posts on how to “get your feed back”. None of which work because the whole business model is about jamming sponsored shit down your throat.
Starlink sats have enough transmit power and receive gain to use normal cellular frequencies with a normal antenna on the phone side.
You might think it’s a long way to space, but a few hundred kilometres of direct line of sight to your cellphone antenna isn’t that much more to overcome compared to say, 25 km to a cell tower on the ground.
The biggest hurdle was getting a few thousand satellites into orbit so that coverage and availability is there.
In certain countries they fall under quasi-bank regulations eg. “PayPal Australia Pty Ltd (PayPal) is a limited Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) with authority to provide purchased payment facilities (PPFs).”
That gives some measure of protection on how they handle your funds, but holy shit I would not keep any money in a PayPal account for any longer than absolutely necessary. I use it as a convenient intermediary between my actual card and sellers, no more than that.
The more we automate, the less people can do, so they don’t have jobs and no income, not able to survive…
Most solutions to this issue usually involve some variant of a universal basic income. However, that gets politically boiled down to “MOAR TAXES GOVERNMENT IS STIFLING THIS COUNTRY!1!1”, so in countries like the US that want to keep the freedom of being able to be homeless and starving, it’s not going to be possible.
Is there any sort of way to get the best of both worlds? to have the PC be able to go from power button to jellyfin server started and still have some measure of security?
Windows with auto login? Not really. That is, anyone with a mouse + keyboard locally can get in there.
You can set up jellyfin to run as a windows service and then it should auto start and run as a particular user without you having to log in. Have a look in the “advanced” section in the jellyfin docs.
Train your LLM better.
You didn’t go to the library in the '80s and watch a DVD of a documentary to get the information you wanted.
So this is the concern I have with letting LLMs do all the heavy lifting. You’ve put in a nice summary of how we should be using LLMs and then here’s a glaring anachronism. So now that I’ve spotted that, should I take any credence in whatever else you’ve said?
Mainly the issues are about providing ~600 kilowatts for 8 minutes to charge your typical size EV battery.
A row of 5 chargers of that size soaks up 3MW if they’re all in use, and that’s not something that can be quickly or easily shoehorned into a suburban electricity grid.
It’s about 500 houses worth of electricity usage, for comparison. For just 5 fast chargers.
Not to say it’s impossible, but infrastructure doesn’t come cheap, and so it’ll cost quite a bit to cram that 80 percent charge into your car’s battery.
Well, I did delete a company-mandated image from the bottom of my signature after I realised that it made even just a one-line “Thanks” email balloon out to 800kb.
