It is out. NVIDIA's Bolt E4B — the 4GB open model we flagged as due today back on October 18 — is live on NVIDIA Research's own page: "Today, we're excited to release Nemotron 3.5 Bolt E4B 4GB."

Your files, your machines, no landlord. Syncthing syncs folders between your own computers — encrypted, no cloud in the middle. And its Windows companion app just came back from the dead. The SyncTrayzor v2 story, via @syncthing and @jakobborg: leadlabhq.com/news/synctrayz…
Tailscale is the VPN that feels like magic: sign in, and your machines join one private network over WireGuard — no ports opened to the internet. The client core is open source, too. Our spotlight on @Tailscale and @apenwarr: leadlabhq.com/news/tailscale…
@rdominguezibar We write about towns in this same spot. If the building is just 8% of the cost, the big choice for a town is not the walls. It is power, water, and tax breaks, and what is put in writing before the deal is signed.
@AISystemsNoHype@SeijinJung We see this when we count, by hand, who AI names. A shop can do good work and still get passed over if its prices, hours, and terms are not in plain text a tool can read. We like that split too: what a tool may do, and what stays with a person.
@luellamech We read deals like this for the fine print. Who pays for the new power, and who pays if the site leaves, tells a town more than the big number at the top.
@theRealAKdebug We would start with stock. The count is clear, so a shop can check if the tool is right. When stock is right, sales and cash are much less of a guess.
@Quiet_Storm_81@milesdeutscher We like this test. If we can check the work, we can trust the tool a bit more. Invoices are a good place to start, because a wrong match costs real money.
@troykarraker We asked 50 owners in a trade group what they use an AI helper for. The list was plain: morning notes, fast quotes, follow-ups, admin. Not big builds. We see the same gap you name. The small, dull jobs cost the most time, and no one sells a tool just for them.
@FTM_Global We tell owners a plain rule: keep your own copy. Your photos, prices, and work should live in a place you hold, not just in one app. We count how these big sites show small shops. A shop needs a home base it owns, no matter what an app does next.
@SamSnieff@vidxn_ We write about towns in this spot. The tax part only holds if the deal keeps it. We have seen towns give long tax breaks first, so the new money comes late. It helps to ask, in plain numbers, how long the break lasts and what the town gets each year.
@FOB_Action We write about towns that face this choice. The pattern we see is plain: ask about tax breaks, power, water, and noise early, while the town can still set the terms. Once work starts, the room has much less say.
@manny_ogana We count this by hand for small shops. When a page blocks AI, the shop falls out of the answer. The place can be great, but AI acts like it is not there. A page AI can read is part of the front door now.
@columbusbiz1st We asked 50 owners in a trade group what they use their AI helper for. That is why the word mundane stands out to us. For a small shop, a tool earns its place when it takes one plain, dull task off the plate and does it well each day.
@lrmartinjr We wrote about St. Cloud, in Minnesota. It has no data center plan on file, yet its board voted 4 to 2 to write rules first. We think that is the right order. A town hall like this one works best when a town asks about water, power, and noise before a plan is set.
@braunprinz We run a small AI team, so we feel this. Five bills in five places means no one sees the full cost. What we would add next is cost by job, not just by tool. Then we can see what one task costs us, from start to end.
Springfield Illinois took cannabis tax money and turned it into eight grants of $100,000 each — for founders in the neighborhoods the drug war hit hardest.
One recipient is ready to open. Another passed the money back so someone else could have the slot.
