See, I think, you're not supposed to continue using those services as before. They want them all gone, and so-called age verification is a means to chase away users that are less dedicated.

What I think must result is, a monotonic cultural erosion and deprecation of such platforms and regions implementing those restrictions, and continuous replacement with engineered and packaged foreign imports from venues and regions from psychological "upstream" where there aren't such restrictions. But I guess that's what they explicitly desire.


This is hardly a novel implementation of [stream responses and chunk on sentences] + [stop on VAD and memory hole the chat log] concept. This takes <1k vibecoded lines to replicate it with an all-local setup.

If this can generate VGA signal, it can also generate driving signals to control the original CRT too. Monochrome CRTs especially don't have fixed pixel counts, you can feed 4K240 signals if you want. It takes an analog circuit designer to pull off though.

High end phones these days run smaller LLMs sorta fine.

And?

Laser engravers. Blu-ray drive laser modules are dime a dozen and are plenty powerful.

Can I get a pair of camera glasses that uses AI to identify other camera glasses, and controls a moveable laser to blast the cameras on the other glasses?

You'll need much better high-speed cameras than on existing glasses, and a really good beam steering mechanism coupled with much better laser than Blu-ray diodes. It'll be heavier than most VR goggles and very finicky. I don't even know which ones of fixed camera with a dual polygonal or standard 2-axis galvos or prism based PTZ with the camera doing classical lock-on and trained laser shooting from the opposite side of the camera. It's a >$50k project at benchtop static PoC level.

Put aside everything unethical and unworkable about it. Probably cheaper to lobby for a think-about-kids camera ban for products weighing less than 250g or contains transparent window apparatus that may or may not be curved in diameters larger than 10mm for fire risks or something.


I hope that was sarcasm.

That's a bad idea on so many levels.


Yes; I don't want to accidentally blind people.

That page uses the older versions of "SWaP-C2 Optimized[1]" meme, I would guess it might have not been updated in 3-5 years.

1: Stands for "Size, Weight, and Power [and] Cost [and] Cooling Optimized", defense industry equivalent of self awarded gold medal stickers on product packaging, apparently


like apt? or ftp.example.com?

also: what's download? in embedded sphere, flashing a firmware is often reffered to as download. That's an industry standard term.


That turns jokes into contracts that nobody wants. Bad idea.

Maybe just don’t make “jokes” like that.

I don't make such "jokes". Idiots do.

And when the idiots do, the proposed system locks the fire door for them. That's just dangerous. We'd want them with bunch of confusing options and better illuminated de-escalation paths.


Reuse tools to do what? Touch type on a mechanical keyboard?

What makes human hands especially suitable for e.g. assembling a phone or installing a door handle onto a car?


> Touch type on a mechanical keyboard

yes. do you think it's safe to just plug usb into some hole and type? the safest option for a robot is typing with fingers


I think we're all misunderstanding SpaceX. I think it's more of an engine factory disguised as a general space company that managed to borrow the dad's card.

The only thing SpaceX truly has an edge is its engines.

They have perfected the engine for a ship like a giant Mars class rockets. And that engine has been in full scale series production for years, while the actual Starship keeps blowing up. The reason they developed their hoverslam landing technology, also, was because they wanted their precious engines back.

It's as if they handed groups of gamers a credit card and they went onto plunder stocks of RTX cards from 20 miles around with some Roombas bought on reward points. It's just inches below the threshold for typical BS detector if it weren't specifically tuned for the relevant topics.

All makes sense if everything was an elaborate ploy to get someone to pay for specifically the engines.
