I'm curious about the Yocto based OS. Can you tell us about the architecture? How small the LOC is and how much customization has been done if it based from existing stacks?

I always wonder what GitHub has that Codeberg doesn't. It's a shame this isn't as popular. It seems like developers, of all people, are willingly letting their code be AI piggybacked.

Exactly my concerns as well. If we're indeed heading toward “ask AI first, humans later” model there's potential for a slippery slope—one that could be exploited depending on which regime happens to be in power. If politicians or special-interest groups can manipulate or curate AI-generated “opinions,” they could present those biased outputs as if they were genuine reflections of their constituents’ views. Over time, the line between authentic public sentiment and engineered AI propaganda could blur, undermining informed democratic debate.

Hey Friel Family, I just wanted to reach out and say how sorry I am to hear about John’s passing. I didn’t know him or his work, but it’s clear he made a significant impact on many lives. Losing someone who has touched so many people is never easy. Even though I’m a stranger, I hope you find some comfort in the memories you shared and the love that surrounds you during this tough time. Sending you all my best wishes and support.

Ah, the beauty of a powerful mind. As our high school dropouts are setting in their labs adding lithium from used cell phone batteries and Sudafed from wherever they can get it to cook a batch of methamphetamine for some quick cash, our most esteemed scientist are setting in their labs adding zeros from “zeroes unlimited” and “fuzzy” words from “scientific thesaurus” to cook up another grant for some quick cash.
After rereading the above paragraph I thought it to be too negative, but then I thought, “If indeed this is only a projection of a 2D reality then 3D movies are not really in 3D and I just paid way too much for the popcorn”.

The problem still is the charging time. EV occupied the space longer than a gas car does refill. Until we reached the technology where the batteries can be charged in seconds, 'drive EV as effortlessly as driving a gas car' is a bit of overstatement i think.
