I still don't get how copying copyrighted content to your own website and then asking for donations can be a legal business model. Nor how it can be morally justified. I get that many people like such an archive to be around for cons

This seems to be the demo: https://chat.webllm.ai/ I am getting: WebGPUNotAvailableError: WebGPU is not supported in your current environment, but it is necessary to run the WebLLM engine. On both, FireFox

I never understood why a program installed in Flatpak is not just a directory on disk. When you install something via Flatpak, it still changes data in god-knows-what places on my disk. And the software itself has read/write access to

SQLite has so many advantages over PostgreSQL. No deamon. Single file per DB. Less configuration overhead.

I switched back and forth between "with account"/"without account" a few times now and it seems to work just fine. I stay with the no-account state, as it not only removes the nags, the interface is actually much cl

Oh, that looks good! I closed the app, stopped it and cleared the cache. Then restarted it. The UI is surprisingly sane now. My first impression is that it is much better than before. Everything is neatly layed out in a series of albums, fo

Just tried that. Unfortunately, it seems to completely mess up the interface? I couldn't even see all photos anymore. Even though I do not use backup at all. So it is not possible that those photos are in the cloud or something.

I'm only interested in the state-of-the-art model by each provider. For Google, this is still gemini-3.1-pro-preview, right?

You could just as well use any other coding agent via ChatGPT then, right?

Are you sure ChatGPT on IOS connects directly to the VM? Or via a desktop as the middle man sitting somewhere? If you really only use ChatGPT on IOS and a VM and nothing else, then I would be curious how you set that up. I do not see a &quo

Wouldn't such language and reasoning from Anthropic be an argument that they needed written permission to train their model on data from websites? Has any individual somewhere around the world tested this in court by now? Sued Anthropi

Does this mean it is possible to talk to Codex from ChatGPT on a mobile phone now? When I tried that with the Codex CLI version on a Linux VM, I did not get it to work. Possibly because OpenAI only supports connecting ChatGPT to a desktop i

So this is a VM by Docker? For those who do not trust docker run --rm -it -v "$(pwd)":/work -w /work myaiimage /bin/bash AND do not want to use some other, free VM for some reason?

As I understand it, this "Application Sandbox" is to prevent app A seeing what app B is doing. The problem here is a different one: The user granting an app access to their files and then having no way to prevent that app from sen

This is interesting. I thought granting internet access to apps is not avoidable on Android. When an app does not request internet, is it really guaranteed that it cannot talk to the outside world? Or is it having other avenues like opening

If the algorithm is proprietary, how do you know it is calculating something meaningful?

So is it possible to say "No bots except Google, OpenAI, Grok, Claude and Perplexity"? As far as I can tell, Google is the only one sending me visitors. And the other big AI players might do so in the future. Another option would

Why a laptop at all? Why not just use a VM in the cloud and just a CLI interface?

It was over $500k in the email I got. Not a fun experience. My hands were trembling. Makes you wonder - what if there really would be an incident where some massive amount of traffic got routed to your infrastructure by some heavyweight pla

The appeal of GitHub for me is not only in the git hosting, but also in codespaces. It gives me: 1: An easy way to start a VM 2: A one-click solution to access it via private https access So for development, I dont need to dabb

Which part of looking at the binary to understand how the device works and then writing a driver from scratch that talks to the device would violate copyright? One would not have copy the implementation. Just use the binary to understand ho

by TekMol 3mo ago
I meant the binary. With enough patience and spit it should be possible to understand it. And AI can do it while we sleep.

Could AI do it? Would it work to give the Windows driver to an LLM and tell it to analyze it and write a Linux driver?

AI isn’t replacing me. Like a toddler, it needs to be constantly coached. Like a toddler, it will grow up. Humans are really bad at noticing trajectories. They see the current situation. They know what the situation was 5 year

But why recruit people, now that we have AI? Couldn't an agent monitor feature requests and bug reports, reason about them, and then implement and fix the ones it deems important?

by TekMol 3mo ago
For an open source project, is there any reason to still accept code contributions? Feature requests are valuable because they tell you what users want. Error reports are valuable because they tell you under which circumstances the code fai
