While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #UNIX v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

#retrocomputing

An old reel to reel magnetic tape. It has a label, in Jay Lepreau's handwriting, proclaiming it to be "UNIX Original from Bell Labs v4 (see manual for fmt)"

I have enough.

JOHN BOGLE, THE Vanguard founder who passed away in 2019, once told a story about money that highlights something we don't think about enough:

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responds, **"Yes, but I have something he will never have ….. enough."** Enough. I was stunned by the simple eloquence of that word-stunned for two reasons: first, because I have been given so much in my own life and, second, because Joseph Heller couldn't have been more accurate. For a critical element of our society, including many of the wealthiest and most powerful among us, there seems to be no limit today on what enough entails.

“Hi! Your OS here! See that red badge demanding your attention?”

"What is it?”

"It's sports news! Isn't that great?”

"I don't give a shit about sports. How do I turn it off?”

"If you're not interested in sports, you can customize the alerts to show something you ARE interested in.”

"I'm interested in an OS that does what I tell it. One that works for me. That doesn't track me or try to ‘maximize engagement’ or sell me crap or nag me about using AI or whatever. Got anything for that?”

Our philosophy as far as how it would ever make sense for Obsidian is that it has to fit with the principles that are in our manifesto, which is that it would have to be private. We're not comfortable with the idea that our users' data could be stored in OpenAI servers without their consent. I think a lot of tools out there are just kind of defaulting to this feeling that there's an arms race. We've got to put Al into everything.
Let's put a little magic button everywhere. I don't think that's us. We want to give users confidence that their thoughts are theirs, that things are not going to be used to train the next LLM.
That said, I do think Al can be really powerful for certain uses. So the question is, in the long term, do we end up giving an API to the plugin community so that they can build those types of functionalities more easily? Right now, we're not working on it. We've been holding off and watching what's going on. We don't feel a sense of urgency to suddenly put all these things in there because, to be honest, the plugin ecosystem is there for you and you can do it if you really want that. There are things much more important to us on the priority list that we want to work on first, that we would rather set our time aside for with our limited capacity.

@protonprivacy Hey Proton!

I’ve trying to find more information about the advanced models of Lumo (in the paid version), but I can’t find anything. Would you point me in the right direction?

I want to know what exactly are these advanced models, like number of parameters, how much context (tokens) they can handle, and general capabilities (can they generate images, etc.)

Thanks!

@Linux That’s pretty scary. Does this include the “end-to-end encrypted” photos in WhatsApp?
