This is funny to me because I highly doubt the LLM runs locally
Exact opposite. KORA with Cortex is local first by default where “local” can be an on-machine LLM and / or ones that located on the same local network. So it’s Hybrid with local first and the added party trick that you can tap an LLM on another machine that is also running Cortex.
Close. KORA with Cortex is local first by default where "local" can be an on-machine LLM and / or ones that located on the same local network. So it's Hybrid with local first and the added party trick that you can tap an LLM on another machine that is also running Cortex.
No. Lookup KORA and Cortex, very different than Omarchy.

No. KORA's secret sauce is an Orchestrator called Cortex that uses LLMs and resources that are local to machine AND NETWORK before sending work to the cloud.
If you read the court decision it's clear that ICE kind of IS trying to do that. They seem to have reason to believe that there are certain men at a specific shelter who illegally entered the United States that are operating under a false names who have committed one of 8 specific "serious crimes" (murder, manslaughter, rape, robbery, assault, grand larceny, burglary, and assault of a law enforcement officer.)
What they want is for NYC to produce the list of males at a certain homeless facility in a certain age range along with their previous or current criminal convictions so they can tie the fake names to the real ones they are looking for.
I'm not sure I agree with what ICE is doing but it's far less intrusive and reaching than what the headline suggests.
Interesting to note that parts of the decision are redacted and that the unredacted version will be filed under seal.
I will probably give KORA a try when it's available. I'm not on the "fuck ai" train and I see no reason to avoid experimenting with something like this.
To your point Microsoft has already started on something similar anyway.
I don’t think Canada can do that.
They started doing it in 1995. They are called "overflight fees" and Canada's are far higher than what the US charges for large commercial aircraft. Canada also doesn't waive the fee if a plane is landing or taking off inside Canada like the US and Mexico do.

Not only does Canada already do this it's fees are far higher than the United States for large aircraft and they don't waive the fee if the plane is taking off or landing in the country like the United States and Mexico do. They also charge out the ass for using their airports.

Its just not worth it to rent from cult, facist, or megacorps willing to destroy the world to do it. Local LLMs though are cool, and hopefully we set up for better distributed training again.
KORA is built around that idea. Their "Cortex" engine runs workloads on local LLMs first and will use resources on other computers on the network before it sends work to the cloud.
It's a very good idea and if it works as advertised I suspect Microsoft will offer them a LOT of money for it because it's almost exactly what Microsoft's "Hybrid Intelligence" is trying to do.
Noteworthy that this is being done by the guy behind "Cyanogen" and he's doing it with Linux for the same reason as Valve; so that they're not dependent on a Commercial OS that they cannot control. Their "Cortex" engine has real possibility since it leverages local resources before shedding work to the cloud. If it works as promised it's likely that Microsoft will soon be making them an offer they cannot refuse.

Europe should begin its own negotiations with Putin.
That should have happened years ago. There's no logical reason for Europe to abandon its leadership claim on this issue to the United States and it's indicative of what's wrong with Europe these days.
Russia will withdraw from all land it seized from Ukraine after the 2022 invasion.
What about Crimea? Zelensky has openly stated that Ukraine will not give it up, ever.
NATO would be dissolved and replaced with a European alliance.
Don't threaten the United States with a good time. I'd add that there will be no do-overs; the United States will never again enter into a NATO type alliance nor ride to Europe's rescue when shit flies off the rails. That last part is important because we're watching European instability growing in real time. If something doesn't change there were will another broad war on the continent in my lifetime.
Ukraine and Canada would be permitted to join but not the US.
I'd sign off on that deal as long as it contained the previous "no do-over" provision.
All sanctions against Russia will be lifted.
Europe doesn't control all the sanctions. They can only negotiate within their own powers.
Russia will not be required to pay reparations.
I doubt that would get much support from Ukraine.
If Putin doesn’t accept the proposal, the UK and France would send troops to Ukraine.
Hooo boy...
The UK is a spent force. Without it's nuclear arsenal, which the US controls, it has insufficient quantity of anything to really tilt the field. Meanwhile France is burning itself to the ground over an unsustainable and unsolvable debt load that has the possibility of literally ending the Euro. If that's not enough next years French Presidential elections could bring Melenchon to power, who iss increasingly being described as "The Kremlin's Spokesperson".
So threatening Putin with the UK and France is likely to produce no real fruit unless he knows the US is backstopping their effort and that wouldn't be likely to happen with this proposal.
This is also an extremely US / Euro centric take with very little that Ukraine would support and several things that it would probably actively lobby against.
The idiom "Came in" has been in common use since the last 1800's. You can find it on Google's N-Gram search. Heck it appears in Shakespeare!
