No data leaves your device.Browser-based local AI addresses this:1. Works offline after first load – Local AI makes possible offline AI use. Resilience – Work continues even during outages....

I spent a couple of Summers in Yorktown Heights and even had lunch with Beniot a couple of times.

To have the second largest super computer down the hall, an electron tunneling microscope, and beauty of the Hudson Valley seems like a bygone era. The innovation, patents, and persona were not enough to move the needle vs Silicon Valley.

The fact that tiny homes are answer for teachers in some areas and not paying them more. Can the teacher take it with them when they get burnt out.

This is the same answer to solve homelessness in some regions. The Arizona parents probably still going to give these teachers hell everyday.

Yeah, wasn't it Sheldon Cooper who discovered that?

Re:Amazon Elasticsearch Service Is Now Amazon OpenSearch Service on Thursday September 09, 2021 @12:27AM (#28466183)
You can upgrade instantly on AWS, it doesn't take weeks. A lot of problems with AWS Elasticsearch Service are caused by corporations trying to squeeze a dollar out of a dime.

T2 and T3s with no Master Nodes, let alone three, leads to a lot of problems.
