Even the most liberal Nozickean voluntary society existentially requires a mechanism to limit granting of membership to those who genuinely uphold its values, and limit intrusion and abuse by those who do not. The literature you linked show

You may be unaware, but the EU, India, and China have also engaged in their own versions of economically-pressured internet presence takedowns of international activists and dissidents they label subversive. The degree differs according to

The point is that people who proclaim themselves "antifa", be they in dictatorial power over half of Korea, or merely a band of organized activists, are not automatically due credibility and trust because of some grammatical fixat

Nomenclature alone is meaningless. Is the Democratic People's Republic of Korea which professes anti-fascist messaging and motives both democratic and anti-fascist? I wouldn't assume every "antifa" group is principled an

Not only are LLMs perfectly equipped for command-line interfaces, Linux is also the most performant OS for hosting the models locally.

Lancet is run by left-wing academic ideologues who do not practice medicine clinically, the publication advanced untested theories as policy during COVID and then recommended exceptions for BLM protesting.

Seed Turbo 2.1 is incredibly detailed in describing every physical feature. I use that one for vision tool calls through Venice API.

With modern automation and AI, tracking and adjusting paths is better every year. Also, anything with malfunctioning movement will quickly descend and burn up in the atmosphere at that very low orbit.

Correct, everyone complains about "enshittification" but they fail to recognize that the most egregious cases occur when a company with a dedicated founder/leader transitions to rule by committee.

Venice (uncensored privacy AI API and app co) took a year to expand their self-hosted model selection to routing hundreds of other models. It's harder than it looks to get customers. But they did grow to 3M users and >$50M ARR as of

If you want to avoid bans, Venice is another good option since their focus is uncensored and privacy. They run models themselves alongside offering OpenRouter-style routing for frontier and niche models - but at least they fully anonymize t

Or you can get mad at journalist-bloggers for writing unscientific selective fearmongering hit pieces catering to culture-war-polarized confirmation biases.

His operation tangibly and physically contributes more to the material advancement of humanity than most of the armchair critics in the comments do - I think that matters more for character allegations. And this first of its kind refinery i

That's why they added a verifiable E2EE mode that encrypts before leaving your device all the way to the GPU's TEE. You can proxy and see the shape of the request if you like. The platform supports no-KYC signups too, so if you ca

Yes, local for anything that can run locally. For higher-end model needs there are privacy platforms like Venice ( https://venice.ai/privacy ) with ZDR legal contracts and multiple E2EE options for their open-weight models. T

That would be an improvement in the same spirit, as the modern CRAs are also unconstitutionally limiting over what one chooses to do with their own property. The scope should be limited to government-involved services and facilities, as tho

Osaurus is what I use for local - it's a native Swift macOS app with sandboxing, agent tooling, and server capabilities. Mac only though.

The "pen-testing" discoveries go both ways. In Iran, Chinese HQ-9B surface-to-air missile systems and YLC-8B anti-stealth radars failed to intercept any aircraft. In Venezuela, Chinese JY-27A early warning radars failed to detect

If you are planning to get a Tesla car with PowerShare (it's slowly expanding to the Model Y and other vehicles) then you only really need one Powerwall 3, because the car when charged acts as ~7+ powerwalls worth of backup.

Unfortunately the MCP for external agent tools is flawed at the moment, it returns a format differing from its stated schema. So it doesn't work with OpenCode.
