  Meshtastic requires bespoke hardware, it’ll always stay a marginal tool

  This requires: an iPhone.

  And someone will make a bridge from this to Meshtastic in a while anyway

  This is nothing like the ones you list, this is local only no internet

  This doesn’t have an android client 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs are shit at current events

  Perplexity is kinda ok, but it’s just a search engine with fancy AI speak on top

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI agents wrong ~70% of time: Carnegie Mellon study⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Wrong 70% doing what?

  I’ve used LLMs as a Stack Overflow / MSDN replacement for over a year and if they fucked up 7/10 questions I’d stop.

  Same with code, any free model can easily generate simple scripts and utilities with maybe 10% error rate, definitely not 70%

  Most likely Claude, it’s pretty much the best at the moment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does vibe coding sort of work at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The main problem with LLMs is that they’re the person who memorised the textbook AND never admit they don’t know something.

  No matter what you ask, an LLM will give you an answer. They will never say “I don’t know”, but will rather spout 100% confident bullshit.

  The “thinking” models are a bit better, but still have the same issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  IIRC the judge said they could use the data for training, but specifically added that piracy is still piracy and he didn’t rule on that.

  So Disney can just sue Meta for one trillion 😀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Supreme Court to decide whether ISPs must disconnect users accused of piracy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So if Meta is convicted of pirating books for AI training, they lose all internet connectivity? 🧐

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yea, it’s been broken for weeks. You can’t search for new artists at all.

  It got sorta fixed a while ago and now I can search for artists, but adding them doesn’t work. Their metadata server crapped out months ago and they’ve been fixing it ever since, should be done soonish. Or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fixed Lidarr: github.com/blampe/hearring-aid

  And Radarr: github.com/blampe/rreading-glasses

  Basically they replace the broken closed source metadata server for both with a working one.

  The author is also in talks with Readarr to take over the project.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand Meshtastic nodes can be solar powered and independent. You can easily build a big-ish mesh with a couple hundred western monetary units.

  It also uses common frequencies with every single wireless weather display and garage door opener and wireless outlet.

  Also HAM operators are required to not encrypt their traffic and are licensed/registered, thus easily found and their equipment taken away.

  Neither is perfect tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Meshtastic would work too. But it’s banned in many countries. Or specifically devices that transmit in a specific frequency

  I have the account info of the seller, did a police report. Nothing has happened and nothing will happen.

  Lesson learned.

  If the lesser evil would’ve been Soviet Union, we would’ve been a) communists and b) not independent anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It was either surrender to Soviet Union (legendary dicks) or ally with Nazis (had no reason to stay and conquer us). We picked the lesser evil.
