Let's hit end of July goals: Lifetime & discounted subs!
July 30, 2023

As the glorious month of July comes to an end, The Lunduke Journal is this close to hitting our monthly goals. (Gotta have goals, right?)

There are two little targets The Lunduke Journal has left to hit by July 31st:

  1. Nudge a few more people over to NerdyEntertainment and ConservativeNerds.

  2. And add a small handful of paid subscribers to Lunduk.Locals.com.

Nothing big or crazy. But sure would be awesome to stick the landing here at the end of the month!

So, let’s stack the deck in our favor and make this happen with two little incentives:

  • Lifetime Subscriptions (for all three sites) and

  • Choose Your Own Price for individual sites

But only until the end of the day tomorrow (the 31st).

Lifetime Subscription back for 1 day: $120

The Lifetime Subscription is great. We all have a small mountain of monthly subscriptions to various services, right? This option lets people pay once… and just be done. Full access for life. Never need to pay again.

For obvious reasons, I can’t offer The Lifetime Subscription all the time. But to help give both of our remaining goals a nudge over the finish line… I’m making new Lifetime Subs available until the end of the day tomorrow (July 31st).

And they’re just $120.

And this includes full access to all three sites in The Lunduke Journal (including NerdyEntertainment and ConservativeNerds). If only a handful of you grab this, we’ll hit our July goals (seriously… we’re that close)!

How to get the Lifetime Subscription:

  1. Get a free subscription at Lunduke.Locals.com.

  2. Go to Lunduke.Locals.com/support.

  3. Select “Give Once” and enter “120” in the “Amount to give” field.

  4. Then, if you want full access on the Nerdy Entertainment and Nerdy Politics sites (you do), become a Free member on each… and let Lunduke know by emailing Lunduke at bryan at lunduke.com

Boom. Easy peasy.

… or …

If you only want access to one or two of the sites — or simply aren’t ready to make a lifetime commitment — you can Choose Your Own Price below. Which is also a pretty sweet deal.

Choose Your Own Price for every part of The Lunduke Journal

Lots of options. You choose which sites you want a subscription to — and how much you want to pay. The total price is… incredibly cheap. You’re welcome. ;)

Did the "USA Vote Against AI Data Centers"?

The narrative is that America "revolted" against AI data centers in the recent midterm election. But is that really what happened?

The futility of Ad-Blockers

Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.

It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

openSUSE says "No Lunduke allowed!"

Those in power with openSUSE make it clear they will not allow me anywhere near anything related to the openSUSE project. Ever. For any reason.

Well, that settles that, then! Guess I won't be contributing to openSUSE! 🤣

Fable 5.2 the new Top Model

AGI, AGI — yadda yadda. I don’t do hype but I do evaluate the latest and greatest models from Anthropic and OpenAI when they come out. What do they do FOR ME? Not for benchmarks, but my real work.

I’m more than likely not someone whose work pushes the top models in a way that distinguishes their true new abilities. I’m not folding proteins or solving 100-year-old math problems. I’m also not trying to break into anybody else’s networks etc.

I had Fable 5.2 take a look at ALL of my work from the lens of: how do I turn this capability I’ve built into income (getting a job, running my own business, etc.). What is the strengths and weaknesses of what I’ve built as a platform. And more.

I found its output helpful. It was like getting a very experienced business developer, and AI architect giving me input to consider.

I then had it do a code review of my /Supervise skill and to evaluate the real use over the past 3 weeks. I’d spent all summer getting...

Anthropic needs to IPO before the bubble pops. It may not survive a full court press by the Democrats to shut down AI datacenters.

However, the $78 per share valuation, which would set the IPO over a trillion, has investors asking what the revenue future looks like.

This brings up a broader question: Can any purely AI company generate enough revenue to get out of the red? Are there other revenue stream outside of data theft?

I, for one, am curious to see how this turns out.

Like SpaceX, Anthropic will introduce a lock-up schedule designed to limit insider selling and reduce the risk of a post-IPO stock slump.
The filing, however, allows certain non-founder insiders to sell up to 10 percent of their shares on Day One and lays out more than 20 dates over the following year for non-founder employees to gradually offload their holdings.

The reset in expectations comes as markets increasingly question whether AI companies can earn enough revenue and profits to support their massive ...

3 Days Left to get your name into LCOS 1.0’s About Window!

Holy imminent operating system release, Batman!

Three things worth knowing:

  1. Saturday, October 31st is the last day to get your name into the LCOS About Window by picking up a Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscription.

  2. Saturday, October 31st is also the last day when Lifetime Subscriptions are massively discounted. (Crazy, how those two dates line up! What a coincidence!)

  3. Sunday, November 1st is the official release date for LCOS 1.0!

Want your name in the About window for the Lunduke Computer Operating System 1.0? You’ve got about 3 days left to make it happen!

Here’s what to do:

  1. Go to this page and pick up a Lifetime Subscription (aka “One Time Contribution with Lots of Perks”).

  2. Within a few hours, you’ll receive a confirmation email from yours truly with all the details.

  3. Reply to that email with how you want your name displayed in the LCOS 1.0 About Window (nick name, first name, or full name are all aok).

Just be sure complete step 3 before midnight (Central Time) on Saturday, October 31st so it definitely makes it onto the final LCOS 1.0 build! My advice? Do this by Friday, October 30th so there’s no chance you miss it!

Huge thank you to everyone who has been supporting The Lunduke Journal and LCOS! You make all of this possible!

LCOS 1.0 Ships on November 1st!

A release date has officially been selected!

The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) 1.0 will ship on November 1st… just two weeks from now!

A few quick tidbits worth mentioning:

Worth repeating: If you want your name in the LCOS About Window (see the screenshot below), you only have through October 31st to grab a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal and make that happen.

Huge thank you to everyone who has contributed with both hardware testing and financial support. We’ve had absolutely tremendous momentum over the last few months, and that wouldn’t have been possible without all of you.

LCOS 0.9.3 has Landed! Plus: How to Help.

The Lunduke Computer Operating System (LCOS) is flying towards the official, 1.0 release — with version 0.9.3 now available for testing!

Between now and 1.0, LCOS is laser focused on a) fixing bugs and b) making sure it runs (and runs well) on as much hardware as possible.

Right now, LCOS needs your help. Here’s how:

  1. Test the latest LCOS release on your hardware. Hit any snags? Report them on GitHub, the Lunduke Forum, or via DM on X.

  2. Donate to LCOS (and The Lunduke Journal), so that we can expand our hardware testing lab (among other expenses).

If you haven’t already, watch the LCOS Roadmap video, to get an idea for where we’re heading (in 1.0 and beyond).

Then check out this page, for details on how to support LCOS & The Lunduke Journal (and get your name on the LCOS 1.0 About window in the process).

A huge thank you to everyone who has already contributed (in both ways)! With your help, we are making LCOS into the best gosh darned system in all the land.
