10base2, or ThinNet, were the English names of that kind of networking. We had a mix of that and 10baseT (rj45) when I was first in college. 10baseT was significantly better, in that fewer machines had to physical share the same bus wires.
I’m not sure what video you’re referring to, though.
Ah, sorry. Sometimes I can’t tell because of the threading here.
That’s exactly the distinction I was making. The person I was replying to said “Imagine believing that they need “AI” to record us.” I was clarifying that this isn’t the AI we hear so much about that requires huge datacenters; it’s the kind of simple, embedded, “edge” AI that you can do with whatever microcontroller you have lying around.
These TVs don’t incorporate enough power to do any kind of serious LLM. The “AI” they’re referring to here is likely an embedded speech-to-text engine. And that probably is pretty necessary for this–it would take too much data to send actual recordings to Samsung, but text transcripts are tiny and easier to search and index. It’s easy to forget, but reliable speech-to-text has been around less than 20 years, and the tiny ones that can run on embedded chips are even newer.
And they knew that only a despot would be willing to actually put political opponents in jail, so they voted for one. But then he turned out to be some kind of despot!
Wasn’t that The Diamond Age?
Edit: Nope, I just can’t remember for shit anymore.
Thanks for the clarification!
Which Ultima are you talking about here? I don’t know which of the Ultima games has a post-apocalyptic setting.
This is a pretty good guess. Trump seems to really want to use nukes, just in general. I’m not sure he even cares why.
