    Homeplug is a defunct standard that had some real limitations, Ethernet over Power is a generic term relates to any standard of network over power lines.

    The G.hn powerline standard is a massive improvement (despite being almost as old and is closer to MoCA as it will actually work over coax and other copper wiring, not just power lines) for both performance and stability, but the Homeplug standards have probably ruined the public perception.

    G.hn is also a bit weird because the Wikipedia page presents it as how carriers could use, not as a home network option, even though a few home pieces of equipment are available, such as the TP-Link Deco PX50 which uses G.hn for the wifi backhaul.






  • I lean toward more the good side of ok. I personally think there’s more hits than misses, but I know it’s all subjective. It was the Writer’s Group section which really put it over the line for me.

    I probably only think Sweary Aussie Drama is lazy because I’ve been watch episodes back to back. But I think they think it’s one of those sketches where a bit gets so overplayed (like Numberwang) that it goes around to being funny again.

    Nice to see Olivia Coleman make a cameo, even though the joke felt like an inside joke that doesn’t come across very well.

    Nice to see Behind the Scenes sections making a return. Although my favourite use of them was in “Situation”.











  • Wow, agents built to monitor and reflect human behaviour, accurately model and reproduce human behaviour.

    This is what is what shits me off when people complain “Oh this AI isn’t real AI” or “This isn’t consciousness” The limiting factor is is the training data. Humans have just had a few more million years of training data passed on through genetics. It’s replication and fakery all the way down. If this is you, if you fucking need the reassurance that you are better at being fucking conscious compare to a machine fuck the fuck right off and go do something amazing with it then. Compose something. Create something. Feel the wind in your hair and the sand at your feet. Fuck off, we’re all dirt.
