People don’t have a choice. Their pensions will be forced to buy SpaceX at inflated IPO prices because Musk controls Nasdaq.

At least Denmark isn’t corrupt.

In 1930’s Britain, the average lifespan of an Englishman was 60. Hobbits had an average lifespan of 100. So a 51 year old Bilbo was the same as a 30 year old Englishman.

I have that habit. Then I get really angry replies where people accuses me of stealth editing posts.

Missed the last one Stick Stick

It was on YouTube like 6 years ago. I did it 4 years ago and they’ve been running great.

You need to get a lifepo4 that has a lead acid drop in BMS.

Lifepo4 charges at 14.2. So it’s not only safe, but it means the lifepo4 is undercharged which dramatically increases its lifespan at the cost of runtime.

I’ve done it successfully for two Tripplite 1500va and two APC 750va UPS’s. They’ve been running for over 4 years now.

I bought a lifepo4 that specifically said it had a lead acid drop in replacement BMS (battery management system).

The only problem I have had was when I had a two day power outage. After running to complete drain ( and they lasted over 2x longer than my older lead acid), the Trupplites wouldn’t charge up after power was restored. I had to pull the batteries and charge them outside the ups to get everything working again.

Under normal use they have worked great.

Lifepo4 works fantastic as a drop in because the peak charge of lead acid is only 80% charge of lifepo4. This means that while you don’t get full capacity out of the lifepo4, it never fully charges which dramatically increases the lifepo4 lifespan.

Isn’t it a huge delay to swap out to a different ~30b model every few minutes depending on the use case?

What local model are you using?

You are both correct That certainly was considered AI.

Notice my use of past tense as well as Zeoic use of past tense. I said chess was AI as you stated. Zeoic denied that chess was ever AI.

" the term ‘artificial intelligence’ was coined by John McCarthy in the proposal for the 1956 Dartmouth Conference [4] . In its beginning, Computer Chess was called the Drosophila of Artificial Intelligence. "

Expert Systems:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expert_system "In artificial intelligence (AI), an expert system is a computer system emulating the decision-making ability of a human expert.[1] "

Chatbots in AI:

Lisp is a language USED for AI research, that doesn’t make it AI itself. “Lisp was an AI language.”

I didn’t say Lisp was AI. I said it was a language used for AI.

Chess programs were AI. Expert systems which were regular logic were AI. Lisp was an AI language. Chat bots were AI.

This is a bot which makes it a type of AI and it’s really inaccurate.

Detection is completely broken because it finds terms that aren’t anywhere in the thread, even as substrings.

AI isn’t just LLM.

Why was this upvoted? It’s AI slop giving definitions for acronyms that aren’t in this thread and not even related to backups.

This is a much better idea than those products that are $1000 for a bad laptop with a tiny eink screen.

For the eye strain. Gotta build up those muscles.

Yes that’s why I said 10 seconds. I looked up the webpage on way back and divided it by 56kbs.

It was owned/run by a teen that was signed up as a customer on my ISP. He got a legal letter from Paramount and gave it up.

Because most dial up website pages took 5 seconds or less to load.

I found one of the most graphic heavy websites from 1998, sttng.com and it was 50KB. That’s 10 seconds to load on a 56kbs modem (you’d never actually get 56kbs).

When he says “fight or perish”, maybe he means fight for your right to party. Dog of course refers to I Wanna Be Your Dog by the Stooges. The ego perishes under the weight of uncontrollable love.
