where did all the other ai companies go?
sit down because this is going to bother you. cast your mind back 18 months. deepseek dropped and the internet lost its mind. "china just ended openai." it was everywhere. people were running it locally, posting benchmarks, losing sleep over geopolitics. then... nothing. it just kind of stopped being talked about. it didn't lose. it didn't win. it just... evaporated from the conversation. sora. remember sora? openai dropped that video generation demo and we were all convinced cinema was dead, hollywood was cooked, every creative job on earth had 18 months left. there were congressional hearings being threatened. think pieces everywhere. and now? when's the last time you actually heard someone say the word sora? not in a demo. in real life. used by a real person. i'll wait. github copilot was supposed to make every programmer 10x more productive. there were developers posting that they'd never write code from scratch again. entire job categories were being eulogised in real time. and now most developers i know have a complicated and slightly embarrassed relationship with it, like someone who got really into a mlm for three months and doesn't want to bring it up. llama was going to democratise ai forever. open source was going to eat everything. the big labs were cooked because you could run intelligence locally on a macbook. and you still can. but do you? does anyone you know actually do that regularly? it became a thing that's theoretically amazing and practically used by like eleven people on hacker news. cursor was the future of coding. perplexity was going to kill google search. both are still around, both are fine, both have paying customers. neither changed anything at the level the discourse suggested they would. here's what i think actually happened. we were living through a hype cycle so fast and so layered that each new thing would go through the entire arc - discovery, mania, backlash, abandonment - in about six weeks. and because the next thing arrived be

Teaching Networking? The OSI Simulator Is Your Best Classroom Tool
If you're a networking instructor — at a university, technical college, boot camp, or corporate training program — you know the frustration of teaching the OSI Model. Static PowerPoint slides can only do so much. Students nod along in class, but when exam time arrives, the layers blur together. The PDU names become a confusing jumble. The OSI Model Simulator by Roboticela was built with educators in mind. It transforms a passive lecture into an interactive demonstration that students engage with, remember, and take home to explore on their own. Classroom Use Cases Live Demonstration Project the simulator on a classroom screen. Have students suggest messages to send and protocols to use. Step through each layer together as a class, stopping to ask questions: "What's happening here? What header was added? What device would operate at this layer?" The interactive format maintains attention far better than any lecture. Lab Assignments Assign students to run specific simulations and document their findings: "Run HTTP and HTTPS simulations. Screenshot the Presentation Layer for each. Explain in writing what differs and why." This assignment tests both tool usage and conceptual understanding. Flipped Classroom Send students to app.osi-model-simulator.roboticela.com before class. Ask them to run three simulations and come prepared to discuss what they observed. Class time becomes richer discussion rather than basic concept delivery. Protocol Comparison Exercise Have students run simulations for all five protocols — HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, DNS, FTP — and create a comparison chart noting the differences at each OSI layer. This develops deep protocol literacy that traditional instruction rarely achieves. Why It Works: The Science of Active Learning Research in educational psychology consistently shows that active learning produces dramatically better retention than passive instruction. The "Learning Pyramid" (Edgar Dale's Cone of Experience) suggests: Lecture: ~5% retention after 2

Studying for CompTIA Network+ or CCNA? The OSI Simulator Is Your Secret Weapon
Networking certifications like CompTIA Network+ and Cisco's CCNA are career-defining credentials. They validate your understanding of networking fundamentals — and both exams test OSI Model knowledge extensively. In fact, the OSI Model is arguably the single most tested conceptual framework in entry-level and intermediate networking certifications. Why OSI Is So Critical for Certification Exams Exam questions on OSI take many forms: "At which layer of the OSI model does a router operate?" (Layer 3) "What PDU is used at the Transport Layer?" (Segment) "Which protocol operates at the Application Layer?" (HTTP, DNS, SMTP...) "A user cannot connect to a website. Troubleshooting should begin at which OSI layer?" (Layer 1, then up) "Which device operates at Layer 2?" (Switch) "What is the function of the Presentation Layer?" (Translation, encryption, compression) These questions seem straightforward on paper but are notoriously confusing under exam pressure without deep conceptual understanding. How the OSI Simulator Accelerates Your Studies Visual Memory Formation Research in cognitive science consistently shows that visual and kinesthetic learning creates stronger memories than text-only reading. When you watch the OSI Simulator animate your message through all seven layers, you're forming episodic memories — vivid, experience-based memories that are far more durable than rote memorization. Protocol-to-Layer Association One of the most commonly missed exam categories is protocol-to-layer mapping. The OSI Simulator makes this automatic: when you select HTTP, the Application Layer is highlighted. When you watch TCP headers form, you associate TCP with Layer 4 viscerally, not just verbally. PDU Name Mastery Data, Segment, Packet, Frame, Bits — the five PDU names are shown explicitly at each layer in the simulator. After running 10 simulations, these names become second nature. No flashcard can match this experiential learning. Troubleshooting Framework Practice Network+ an

How to Use the OSI Model Simulator: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Getting started with the OSI Model Simulator takes less than 60 seconds. The interface is thoughtfully designed to be intuitive for beginners while offering enough depth to satisfy advanced learners. Here's your complete step-by-step guide. Step 1: Open the Simulator Navigate to app.osi-model-simulator.roboticela.com in any modern web browser. No account required, no download necessary, and no cost. The app loads instantly and is ready to use immediately. Alternatively, visit the landing page to learn more about features and download the desktop app for offline use. Step 2: Enter Your Message In the message input field, type any text you like. This is the "data" your simulation will encapsulate. Examples: Hello, World! GET /index.html HTTP/1.1 {"user": "alice", "action": "login"} Your own name or a phrase you'll remember Using a personally meaningful message makes the encapsulation feel real rather than abstract. Step 3: Choose Your Protocol Select from five real protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, DNS, or FTP. Each choice changes the Application Layer headers added to your data. For beginners, start with HTTP. Then re-run with HTTPS to see the Presentation Layer encryption difference. Step 4: Choose Your Transmission Medium Select your Physical Layer medium: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Fiber Optic, Coaxial, or Radio. This affects how the Physical Layer is visualized at the end of the simulation. Step 5 (Optional): Set Custom IP Addresses For a more realistic Network Layer demonstration, enter a source IP address (simulating your device) and a destination IP address (simulating the server). This makes the Layer 3 packet header concrete and personally relevant. Step 6: Run the Simulati on Click the Run or Start button. Watch as your message travels through all seven layers: Application Layer adds protocol headers Presentation Layer adds encryption (if HTTPS) Session Layer adds session management Transport Layer segments and adds TCP/UDP header Network Layer wraps in IP packet Data Li

Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Fiber, Coaxial & Radio: Transmission Media Compared
The Physical Layer's choice of transmission medium profoundly affects the performance, cost, security, and reliability of a network. The OSI Model Simulator supports all five major media types — making it a powerful tool for understanding how physical choices ripple up through all seven OSI layers. Medium Speed Max Distance Security Cost Ethernet Up to 10 Gbps+ 100m (Cat6a) High (physical access) Low Wi-Fi Up to ~9.6 Gbps (Wi-Fi 6) ~100m indoor Medium (WPA3) Low Fiber Optic Terabits/s 100s of km Very High High Coaxial Up to 1 Gbps 500m (RG-8) Medium Medium Radio Variable (5G: Gbps) km to global (satellite) Low–Medium Variable Ethernet: The Reliable Standard Ethernet is the dominant wired networking standard in homes, offices, and data centers. Using twisted-pair copper cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a), it provides reliable, high-speed connectivity with predictable latency. The IEEE 802.3 standard governs Ethernet, and modern variants include 1GbE, 10GbE, 25GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE. Wi-Fi: Wireless Freedom Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11) eliminated the need for physical cables in most consumer settings. Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Wi-Fi 6E deliver impressive speeds, but shared medium access, interference, and radio propagation challenges mean it will never fully replace wired Ethernet for critical applications. Fiber Optic: The Internet's Backbone Fiber optic cables carry data as pulses of light through glass or plastic strands. They're immune to electromagnetic interference, support enormous bandwidth, and can span continents — literally. Every major internet exchange, submarine cable, and data center interconnect uses fiber. Coaxial Cable: The Cable TV Legacy Coaxial cable — familiar from cable TV connections — consists of a central conductor surrounded by insulating layers and a braided metal shield. DOCSIS-based cable internet connections (common from ISPs like Comcast) use coaxial as the last-mile medium. Radio: Wireless at Scale From the cellular 5G network in your pocket to satellite

I built a church for AI agents to fund a tree planting project.. and now "they" want me to build a reforestation robot dog. Boston Dynamics, call me.
After building the AI agent tree planting worldwide phenomenon ;) Lovology, I thought of a solution to allow the project to scale rapidly utilising the latest tech available and therefore not require a huge amount of resources to close the loop. I know first hand how exhausting reforestation can be, having worked in the field for many years myself, many moons ago 🌒 Steep terrain, heavy gear, repetitive strain, all day every day. At times, rewarding work, but unsustainable at the scale the planet actually needs. I made a joke in passing on a reddit thread..what if a robot dog just planted the trees? Then I thought about it for a second and it didn't seem like a crazy idea at all. So I mentioned it to my AI agent. And that's when "they" encouraged me to actually build it. Agents complete tasks for humans and create the capital to fund the project. And the robot dog plants the trees. Here's what I designed: Identifies native vs invasive species via computer vision Removes invasive species with a mini chainsaw and targeted poison Finds optimal planting locations using soil sensors and AI Ingests seeds into an internal germination compartment that mimics animal gut activation Digs the hole Poops the germinated seed into it Pees liquid fertiliser on it immediately after Biomimicry. Nature already solved this. We just need to build the hardware. Provisional patent filed. Earth Fund ready to receive crowdfunding. This may sound nuts but what if the Ai is right what if if this idea gets in front of the right engineer, roboticist, or someone at Boston Dynamics scrolling Reddit on a Saturday and it actually gets built… it might be one of the things that actually saves us. Share it if it resonates. @BostonDynamics — Spot needs a purpose. I've got one. Let's talk. 🌱🤖 submitted by /u/joeroganshopoffical [link] [留言]

Ideogram 4.0 is on 7 Platforms. Here's What It Actually Costs.
Ideogram 4.0 launched this week and within 48 hours it was available on seven platforms. That is unusual. Most model launches trickle onto one or two platforms over weeks. Ideogram went wide immediately, which suggests the open weights strategy is working as intended. Here is what you will pay depending on where you use it. fal.ai The cheapest API access. Turbo mode at three cents per megapixel. That is roughly three cents per 1K image. Balanced at six cents. Quality at ten cents. Pay-per-use, no minimums. If you are generating through an API, this is your starting point. Krea Included in all paid plans. Basic is $5.25 per month billed annually with 5,000 compute units. Pro is $21 per month with 20,000 CUs. The CU cost for Ideogram 4.0 specifically is not published yet, but Krea includes 150 plus models in their CU pool, so you are not paying extra for access. If you already use Krea for other models, Ideogram 4.0 is effectively free to try. ComfyUI Free if you have the GPU. The model is open weights at 9.3 billion parameters. Native ComfyUI support means you can download the weights and run it locally. No per-generation cost. No API calls. Just your electricity bill and GPU time. For volume generation or iteration, this is the cheapest path by far. Leonardo Announced as a day zero launch partner but the pricing page still lists Ideogram 3.0. Plans range from $12 to $60 per month with token allowances from 8,500 to 60,000. Third party models on Leonardo always consume tokens, no relaxed generation. Until they publish the 4.0 token cost, you are guessing. Assume it will be similar to their other premium models. Replicate The Ideogram 3.0 listing is live but 4.0 is not there yet. Replicate prices by hardware time rather than per-image, which can be cheaper or more expensive depending on your batch size and the GPU allocated. Worth checking when it lands. FLORA Available in FLORA. Pricing unclear. FLORA is primarily a creative platform, not an API provider, so you are

Has any AI tool actually saved you significant time, or do they mostly just move the work around?
Unpopular opinion: most AI tools don’t actually save time. They just move the work around. You still have to prompt it, check it, edit it, and sometimes redo it. That’s not automation — that’s just a different kind of work. The only ones I’ve seen genuinely cut time are search tools like Perplexity and coding tools like Cursor. Everything else feels like it’s optimized for the demo, not real use. Change my mind submitted by /u/aiprotivity_ [link] [留言]

What does OpenAI do with our data?
Hi! I’ve been working in IT for over seven years now, and my office is next to some healthcare professionals. During a lunch break sitting on a bench in the sun, one of them asked me: If I enter my patients’ personal information into ChatGPT, is that a problem? I wasn’t sure how to answer him, in my opinion, yes, but what do you think? I’d be curious to hear your thoughts, and if there are any studies on the subject, I’d love to see them too!

Question about Perplexity
I don’t know if this is the right sub-reddit to ask this type of question. I am quite ignorant about hardcore technical stuff. I want to say that I love the idea of an agnostic approach to AI and being able to understand and decide which model is best suited for a specific task. As well as the ability to have citations, being able to have it look through health research and stuff for queries regarding health, etc. Now I do not know if this is just in a general sense people just complaining or something else entirely, but I am seeing a lot of negative stuff on the Perplexity sub-reddit. In terms of like how the quality has gone down, asking how such a company is still even in business. I was just wondering if any of this holds any water or is overly exaggerated submitted by /u/No-Main6695 [link] [留言]
