    Where does open source AI fall into place?

    Open-source AI is the escape hatch from the entire sovereignty vs. subsidy cage match.

    It makes your predicted "free trade zones" redundant, because the whole internet becomes a free trade zone.

    It undermines US big tech's valuation premium (good for competition, bad for investors).

    It partially neutralizes China's data-sovereignty advantage (if you run the model locally, you don't send them data).

    It cannot be stopped without breaking the internet or banning math.

    The only thing open-source can't solve is the compute gap for training the very largest models. So governments will fight over chips and training clusters, but they've already lost the battle over model distribution.

    That's the real shakeout: Closed-source frontier models as state assets, open-source everything else as a global commons."

  5. If you are running Google Chrome on Windows and wish to disable the illicitly downloaded 4 GByte AI model, here are the steps to go though:

    1. Disable AI Features (Prevention)

    Deleting the file (weights.bin) is often ineffective as Chrome will automatically re-download it upon relaunch unless the associated AI features are disabled.

    Standard Settings: In Chrome, Go to Settings > System and toggle off On-device GenAI (or "On-device AI") Experimental Flags:

    Enter chrome://flags in your Chrome address bar and disable the following:

    #optimization-guide-on-device-model
    #prompt-api-for-gemini-nano

    1. Delete Local AI Model Files (Clean-up)

    After disabling the flags, you can manually delete the storage-heavy folder to reclaim space (roughly 4GB).

    Press Win + R and paste:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Open your profile folder (usually named Default).

    Find and delete the OptGuideOnDeviceModel folder.

    As an experiment I have deleted just the existing weights.bin file and re-created a read-only 0 byte version. I can then monitor this to see if it's changed in the future.

    Hopefully this will disable these illicit AI features and prevent it from being re-enabled in future.

    Working out at the gym. For an old man I find it's not to bad 🤣

  11. ich hab mich ja die ganze zeit gefragt weshalb die für #KI / #AI so hardcore viel #speicher benötigen
    die #weights sind ja nicht so krass und einmal geladen brauchen die für sich auch keinen zusätzlichen speicher

    was aber hardcore speicher frisst ist das context window 💡
    und das muss mit den ganzen #agenten ziemlich gross sein damit die nicht unterwegs "vergessen" was sie zu tun haben
    das habe ich in meinem #homelab gemerkt; das #model braucht vlt so 4GB vRAM - dann erhöst du den kontext und deine GPU explodiert 😅

  12. Just cleaned up enough space in my office for my bench and hand weights. My plan is to do 10 bench press reps before every cup of coffee. I drink coffee continuously, so I should get an arm workout over the course of a day.

  13. Searching for my personal trainer... oh, THERE she is! Shylo seemed less interested in my Sunday rowing & weight lifting, and more interested in watching me & looking out the window. Some trainer...

  15. An addendum: at Staunton, a young woman was running back and forth along the stretch of trail we were on. She passed us a couple of times in each direction, giving us a cheerful smile each time. At a guess, she was timing herself, maybe race training. Good steady #5k or #10k pace.

    Each time, we smiled and waved back, and I felt a ferocious envy. #Running is the only exercise I've ever enjoyed for its own sake. #Weights and #martialarts were means to an end—get stronger, fight better. #PT and #roadmarching were not to get yelled at. But running was a gateway to a better world.

    Never again. My leg won't take it. These days, the only world to which it would be a gateway would be the emergency department, maybe followed by the operating suite. While I miss the #ER too, for quite different reasons, I'm not in a hurry to get back to it ... like that.

    Of course I enjoy #hiking for its own sake as well, but I don't think of it as exercise. It's the best kind of #medicine. Losing my gut would be a bonus, though.

  16. 1️⃣ Form First, and Weights Second 2️⃣

    Understanding the principle of “form first, weight second” is essential for every beginner lifter because it sets the foundation for long-term success in the gym.

    🫨 Good Form Prevents Injury

    😁 Better Muscle Engagement

    🤩 Builds Stronger Foundations

    🫩 Reduces Bad Habits Early

  17. ↗️ Tracking Workload for Consistent Progress 📊

    Over time, your body adapts to this stress by growing stronger and building more muscle, so tracking becomes an essential part of the process.

    ✍️ Track Total Volume (Sets × Reps × Weight)

    🔥 Use RPE or RIR to Gauge Intensity

  18. Looking for lifting program rec’s.

    I’ve been #lifting the last couple years, mostly the basic moves, with steady progression, based on Rippetoe “Strength Training. But I’m curious about exploring a more formal program. I’m looking for something to compliment #running, but also to be more rounded athletically and retain mass as I look at breaking half a century.

    I’m looking for other rec’s and experiences.
    - Some people on a discord mentioned “Tactical Barbell”
    - I like lifting for power and strength
    - Zero interest in the typical “20 reps, low weight”
    - Prefer a book
    - 2-3 workouts/week, 45-115min ea
    - Currently no mental capacity to roll my own

  19. I never thought I would see this day as someone who was 250+ pounds most of their adult life and wore a 2XL shirt at some point...

    I officially wear a small size shirt and sweatpants.

    Comfortably I may add, not super tightly.

    Though it is American so that is probably medium everywhere else.

    I think I need some #weights and I should get it back to a medium!
