But that’s why thermostats have a range and turn on/off cool/heat as needed?

If you were gone for a day with everything off then it would make sense to not overshoot. But when you are home it’s not like it goes from 30-60F instantly outside. As the outside gradually changes, so does the amount of heat or cooling on the inside.

Why do you care about outdoor temps for your indoor setting?

I do. But I also see a need to support content creators.

It’s not that they won’t do it. It’s that they currently don’t so it’s a good choice.

When they add ads, then we can find something else. I’m on Roku now but have been increasingly annoyed by the increase in ads.

Bad luck? I have very high levels of mica sediment in my well that my immediate neighbors do not have. I asked my neighbors when I moved in and none of them had that problem. The well company said that they usually drill a new well.

A few miles away a neighbor has such high radon that they need special filters that need to be disposed of by a professional company because it needs to be treated as a radiation hazard. I have no radon in my water.

As someone else said for lead, if you have old soldered copper pipes, that could be your lead problem.

A professional company can install water treatment to make your water safe. The well pump salesman showed off some of the crazy systems that they had done. One was a system of really large water tanks connected to a very large Reverse Osmosis system to deal with a well that had bad water quality.

“Depending on how Bluetooth stacks handle HCI commands on the device, remote exploitation of the backdoor might be possible via malicious firmware or rogue Bluetooth connections.”

I of course don’t know details but I’m basing my post on that sentence. “Backdoor may be possible via … rogue Bluetooth connections.”

You literally need physical access to the device to exploit it

You don’t need physical access. Read the article. The researcher used physical USB to discover that the Bluetooth firmware has backdoors. It doesn’t require physical access to exploit.

It’s Bluetooth that’s vulnerable.

He demonstrated that he is senile when he blamed the current trade agreements on the president who signed the last agreement. Trump signed the last agreement. He can’t remember.

That’s why he changes from tariff off to tariff on every week. He has no plan. He has lost his memory.

I’ve been using minipcs with integrated graphics ( and one with a laptop class GPU) instead of desktops and see no reason to stop.

With the current Minecraft monthly updates, paper is always behind on the latest features. There are also minor problems that paper introduces with its performance improvements.

Years ago paper was critical for a good Minecraft experience, but a newer PC (newer than 6 years old) runs great on vanilla.

So if you’re planning to have the kid play on Switch or something like that, it’s not going to work.

You can run Geyser (a modified Minecraft server) to let bedrock clients play on your Java server.

Sorry the first link was wrong but the second link was a research paper that showed them doing it.

Just google electron microscope eeprom and you will find hundreds of documents on the procedure. The second link I provided wasn’t theoretical. It showed it actually being done.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312551555_Reverse_engineering_Flash_EEPROM_memories_using_Scanning_Electron_Microscopy “All those parameters allowed us to obtain clear differences between ‘0’ and ‘1’ states as seen in Figure 4. It has to be noted that this image is obtained without additional image processing to highlight differences between ‘0’ and ‘1’ states.”

"demonstrate the possible [emphasis added] automating "

It doesn’t say it isn’t possible but that they have a possible way of AUTOMATING it. That is instead of someone looking at the image and reading off the bits into bytes, they could take the image and output the data without human intervention.

That’s a consumer data recovery company. They aren’t going to use an electron microscope like a nation state, university, or dedicated emulation hacker.

Which is weird because one of Rossman’s sources claimed that they were on the phone with Brother, asked how to do manual registration, and were told it couldn’t be done unless a genuine Brother toner cartridge was installed.

Yes

As long as the silicon got snapped and not just the softer plastic around the silicon.

If it’s actually important data that a nation state would want, most of the data could still be read off with an electron microscope.

“training a new model”

Is equivalent to “make a new game” with better graphics.

I’ve already explained that analogy several times.

If people pay you for the existing model you have no reason to immediately train a better one.

When you throw more hardware at them, they are supposed to develop new abilities.

I don’t think you understand how it works at all.

Data is collected. Training is done on the data. Training is done on the trained data (deep seek). You now how a model. That model is a static software program. It requires 700 GB of ram to run (deep seek). Throwing more hardware at the model does nothing but give you a quicker response.

If everyone pays you to use your model, you have no reason to develop a new one. Like Skyrim.

I’m supposed to be able to take a model architecture from today, scale it up 100x and get an improvement.

You can make Crysis run at higher fps. You can add polygons. (remember ati clown feet?) You can add details to textures. https://research.nvidia.com/publication/2016-06_infinite-resolution-textures

But really the “game” is the model. Throwing more hardware at the same model is like throwing more hardware at the same game.

Which part of diminished returns not offering as much profit did you not understand?

Current models give MS an extra 30% revenue. If they spend billions on a new model will customer pay even more? How much would you pay more for a marginally better AI?

Current games have a limit. Current models have a limit. New games could scale until people don’t see a quality improvement. New models can scale until people don’t see a quality improvement.
