Beside what @pootriarch wrote, maptiler and other map providers started to display osm with overture maps.

Overture maps is started by corporations to present their gibberish data to their shareholders. It’s mostly AI generated building footprints with varying quality and location of pages and businesses from facebook.

The corporate sponsors of osm couldn’t add this data to osm, because it’s against our rules. The license of overture maps is compatible with osm, so you copy from there freely, you can use it as a source, and it’s legal for providers like maptiler to mix them.

The problem with overture is it’s quality is not checked, while it’s datarich, you can’t be sure if it’s true at all. Looks nice, but not more usable.

The most important questions about any p2p service:

  • why would anyone store my data?
  • why would I store someone else’s data?
  • how can i be sure that someone else’s data is not CSAM: i found the answer you can select what repos to sync

It seems to me it’s IPFS again, but now for git repos. And it has the same problems as IPFS

infeeeee,

There were other similar initiatives where everything is encrypted, so you cannot be sure what others store on your node. For torrent you can select what torrent you download and share.

I was thinking about Storj, where you get “money” for hosting other people’s content in a similar p2p fashion. For Storj the answer to the first 2 questions are money, but you can’t answer the third, because encryption. (“Money” is not real money but some strange crypto, but that’s not important now.)

CSAM is just the worst possible example, it’s forbidden in most countries of the world, and no sane people should be ok storing it. The main thing is, if you host other people’s content, can you know what is the content, do you have some word if you want to host it or not.

DHT returns an ip based on a hash, what do you mean.

If you solely rely on DHT for searching for new things to download, than yes, that’s a good way to get unwanted material on your hard disk, I don’t recommend to do that to anybody at the curtent state of the technology. Don’t mix up things deliberately, usually people don’t do that, they get a torrent file or magnet link from a trusted source, than DHT can’t mess it up.

infeeeee,

As I understand DHT is just addresses and hashes, not the actual data.

I draw the line this way: If I disconnect the computer from the network any given time, does it store the questionable data.

infeeeee,

Yes?

Do you want to ban the internet because people using it for bad things? Basically you say the same thing.

I don’t care what other people do, I care what they could do with me.

infeeeee,

What exactly is a KYC selfie? Is it a photo of an ID card? I figured out WUI is WebUI. The author uses some strange acronyms I never heard before.

It’s very American that they can steal your identity with just one photo. My European state issued ID has data on both sides, so if someone would take a photo of it won’t be enough for anything. Also if you loose it you just get a new one and noone can use the old one for anything.

infeeeee,

Is ‘meteorologist’ the correct word here? I would expect a lava warning from a volcanologist or geologist instead.

No. There is a notability requirement among others: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

This is the main reason wikidata linking in osm is getting more common than wikipedia. Wikidata and osm don’t have this requirement. Name Suggestion Index stopped using wikipedia tags and it only uses wikidata tags nowadays.

infeeeee,

Yes, just like how an encyclopedia was edited before the internet, common people didn’t had an article there, just notable ones.

The same way you don’t add historical data to osm, because we decided that we don’t want to collect that data here. But you can add that to openhistoricalmap. There are different projects for different things.

infeeeee,

I don’t know I don’t edit wikipedia regularly, I only fix small things if find something wrong or outdated. I just replied that your definition of wikipedia is not the same as wikipedians think, it wasn’t specifically about this situation. I haven’t said I agree with this definition neither.

I just read more about this project and notability wasn’t their problem but citation and referencing third party sources and maps correctly:

The seller didn’t said they pay for their electricity. If they live in a dorm, or charge the phones in their workplace or school, there are lot of illegal ways to get free electricity. It’s easier to conceal a regular phone than an antminer

Saarnio himself built the first product mock ups, after spending the last 1.5 years learning to program — upskilling from his former finance-focused background to close in on the AI opportunity.

It’s so hard to find programmers nowadays that this entrepreneur had to learn to program to create this raspberypi in a box.

infeeeee,

He is coming from a finance background, so the math and logic part of programming should have been easy for him. I guess he was also familiar with Excel formulas, from there to learn python is not an unbelievably big step, 1.5 years should be enough.

On the photo you can see the phone connects to a webpage(172.28.172.2:3000), which I guess running on the black box, so it’s just a website actually. There are literally tutorials on the internet to create something similar, first result: digitalocean.com/…/how-to-create-an-intelligent-c…

The article also mentions 40 people working for Jolla, I just don’t understand that line, why the manager had to learn to program, if he had 40 programmers to do this?

Actually their Sailfish os is not bad, it’s based on Linux, originally developed by Intel and Nokia, and they have a proprietary Android compatibility tool which can run Android apps very well on their phone. There was an article about this tool recently, compared to waydroid by a Gnome developer: blogs.gnome.org/…/a-dive-into-jolla-appsupport/

Maybe all the programmer had better things to do, everyone could see that this current AI hype will just disappear in some years, and they just wanted to show something on MWC, and only the boss had time to dive into this bullshit.

infeeeee,

You can find the list of supported hardware here: libreboot.org/docs/hardware/

There are some mobos, most of them are from prebuilt desktops.

I found only one “gamer”: Gigabyte GA-G41M-ES2L from 2009, Socket 775, supports Core2Extreme, that was a beast 15 years ago.

But any other mobo can be used as a gaming mobo, usually they have standard ports and and newer ones tend to follow standard ATX sizes. Front IO ports usually use different configuration, but you can still use it in a case, possible that only the onoff button will work, no leds and reset, that’s good enough

infeeeee,

I love how the screenshot tool messes up the rounded corners of the phone, good job Xiaomi!

(From the mi browser I guess it’s MIUI on a Xiaomi phone, no sane people install that manually)

Afaik there are actually 4 flash memory manufacturers in the World, when you by an SSD the chips were manufactured by one of these companies:

  • Flash Forward (Owned by or related to: Kioxia, Sandisk, WD, Dell, Seagate, Kingston)
  • Micron (Crucial)
  • Samsung
  • SK Hynix

Yes, that’s true. Illusion of choice, anti monopoly laws are working as expected.

Big Wind - The most powerful fire engine of the world: 2 MIG-21 jet engines mounted on a T-34 tank base (media.techeblog.com)

It’s for extinguishing oil well fires, owned and developed by MOL, the Hungarian oil conglomerate. It was used in Kuwait after the Kuwait-Iraq war, here is a video of it in action: www.youtube.com/watch?v=uyGDxglTVgA...

You can just take photos with any app, than upload it from a computer with the kartaview uploader, which is still foss: github.com/kartaview/upload-scripts

There is also the similar Panoramax/Geovisio and the full platform is foss (yet): gitlab.com/geovisio/web-viewer/

A public instance is hosted by osm france: panoramax.openstreetmap.fr No mobileapp, but you can upload on the website or with a similar cli tool: gitlab.com/geovisio/cli
