As you’ve described it, and from what I have read, its very similar to how tailscale negotiates its connections.

Does seem to be unique to Plex though.

I get how that could work, but what services actually do that? Homeassistant can, but that needs to be setup explicitly for it to work.

How does that work? Do they do something like what tailscale does to negotiate the connection? Can you point me to any doco for how that works?

I dont know that that is true. With cloudflare tunnels, their server.x.y.z will resolve to a cloudlfare IP address, which then tunnels it to their server? The traffic has to hit the cloudflare server, it can’t short circuit that connection? Am I missing something?

I would assume yes, it goes out to cloudflare and back in. You want to setup an internal DNS server on your network, and resolve your servers address to its local one. That way when your outside your network, you use the tunnel, and inside it goes direct.

1. You can’t receive those emails anymore.

2. Someone else can.

LLM left to its own devices.

Thats crazy. Are those public numbers from rivian?

My only point of confusion is that a 20k loss on every car is insane. I’m guessing its a bit of BYD is subsidised somewhat, and everyone else is price gouging somewhat. No idea the ratio.

Also odd that other Chinese brands (really only tried MG) dont seem to have the same high quality, high pricing that suggests the same level of crazy subsidies.

Honestly, there is just so much fuckery going I just have no idea what is what.

But the business model has to change in order to survive. The company cannot undercut forever, it actually needs to change in order to survive. The business model of today is not sustainable. They may have a large warchest, they may be able to crush GM, but once they do, or the warchest runs out, the business model must change.

If you want to make the argument that their overall plan with the later change is sustainable, thats fine, but this current phase is not sustainable.

Sustainable implies that they can keep doing it forever without changing. Switching later means what they are doing is not sustainable. It might be successful, but its not sustainable.

I think your muddying sustainable and successful. It definitely can be successful, but its not sustainable.

Its also high risk, especially if you can’t crank up the prices enough later

I am pretty sure there is some financial fuckery going on with BYD. My parents own two, and they are very nice, but way under priced compared to every other EV manufacturer.

Can’t prove anything of course, but there is something odd going on when everyone else is 20-30k more expensive.

Hard to feel sorry for GM though, they suckled at our governments (Australia) teet for decades before giving up and leaving entirely. At least if BYD is being propped up we are at least getting good cheap cars from it.

I was thinking the same thing, does anyone have a local LLM that they could test against? Local shouldn’t have the same preprocessing up front?

I happy to believe that its probably trending down, overall PC shipments have been trending down for a while, but 400m drop over 3 years is a huge amount that just doesnt smell right.

A lab computer is used by up to N students typically, so by removing it, there is potentially N more devices being purchased by the N students. So that could mean more iPads or Chromebooks, or even more PCs overall.

And converting a university device to a byod device doesn’t necessarily remove a PC either, given the user may purchase a new device for work.

With any statistics to back it up (which none of us have, especially not the original article) all we have is speculation.

Also quite disappointing that no one is questioning, “where did they go”. If Chromebooks or Apple picked up a fraction of the “lost” users, they’d be shouting from the rooftops. And a fraction of those users would crush most Linux distros infrastructure, so we’d have heard something.

Yeah, this is just terrible journalism.
