My advice: download open models, self-host them, and use OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google models to build your own AI infrastructure and solutions. Be ready for the moment when you can become independent from these companies. Seize the means of production!

AI may never be as cheap as it is today […]

Zelensky fears Trump's Iran war could hurt Ukraine Ukraine fears what soaring oil prices and a shortage in air defences could mean for them.

Šobrīd Trampa uzsāktajam karam Irānā, kam joprojām nav skaidri mērķi, ir divi prognozējami iznākumi:

- pasaules uzmanība novērsta no Ukrainas;
- dzīves dārdzība pieaugs. Degviela, siltums, pārtika, kredītu apkalpošana.

...kids, remember: security first, and only then all that fancy stuff. Properly securing a headless server in a macOS environment is challenging.

It’s nothing like Debian, where I feel like a fish in water.
