I'm thinking more as a provider. Why put a model on my side to handle permissions/scope/auth/actions when thats already handled (or easy enough to spin up)by a rest-inspired http api? If you're needing to give the m

It's why I asked the question. Maybe I missed something.

Probably covers most use cases and is a lot cheaper and safer.

Was thinking about this a couple of days ago... Sam Neil - Gone. Sean Connery - Gone. Tim Curry - (now)Gone. All the big names from my childhood are starting to die... Damn.

I get the concept and use case - but equifax has a reputation on par with klan members and pedos...at least be self aware enough to know to conceal your true form! Phillip Morris became Altria or whatever. Plus, I can verify for employers t

thats the hard part, right - my 76 year old dad is on his banking app while his samsung TV is allowing a bot to try and take over other accounts at the same bank on the same IP. IP Blacklists, no matter how good can't stop this. You ha

What if I have a slimy TV box or nasty on my phone, living on my network? You take IP down, you kill the cancer but you also end up killing the patient.

Thanks for trying it. The vpn stuff is shaky right now, but the proxy stuff has been great - on a really small sample size.

Prediction: AI ends humanity not via some super cool/scary/robopocalypse - but as a marketing stunt gone wrong when a Frontier LLM accidentally knocks out water/electric/gas by hacking in and trying to patch them. Philli

This is fun, but what does it prove other than a good tool used poorly produces bad results? The analogy du jour for me is describing AI as the iron man suit. If you are tony stark it makes you a god. If you are my grandma, it makes you mee

It feels like if he triggered a wipe - that is destruction of evidence; but if it auto-wiped he's fine. If it were a box of drugs and he triggers an incendiary device - he's in trouble . If agents trip a protective boobie trap and

I take out your electric grid and blow up water treated facilities and natural gas terminals. Food rots, no water for hospitals, no heat in the dead of winter - arguably the virus does what the Falcon does; but with much higher precision -

1st place my head went. Realistically though, whats worse - this thing going rogue or OpenClaud breaking out of its container and shredding a nation's infrastructure like a platoon of gremlins? Genuine question...

Preach! Dedicated Infrastructure > automation > ad hoc scripts > non deterministic llms from a dependability perspective alone. Using an LLM to do something that prettier could have done is analogous to using a 3d printer to nail u

For whatever its worth I built this about a decade ago because I am a non academic who can't think in tableaus, but still wanted to solve optimization problems. I created a json like schema/struct/whatever to describe the pro

Maybe I'm not paying close enough attention (probably) - but I feel that China is providing a glimmer of hope that this (only the uber elite can get good AI assistance) isn't true, and we're maybe at a weird inflection point

Brutal own goaling by the USA. I'm glad it happened, but the USA had a golden opportunity to subsidize domestic providers for 10 years and lease to China to discourage competition and side innovation. DeepSeek and Qwen would have been

This also exists: https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/ TBH, its never anything super exotic (though it helps) but simple stupid basic things like cookies that does 70% of the work here. Also, your IP address at hom

its ease is also vastly inflated. If it was as simple as this site makes it out to be, companies like fingerprint.com don't exist.

The world isn't binary. People want to look for jobs and network. At the same time they don't want their data turned over and sold to the kind of people who scrape LinkedIn. Plus - Your data is LinkedIn's cash cow. They'

Fingerprint (and its ilk) use a tiered identification system to identify you, with a decrease in confidence with each step down. They start with a supercookie approach (first-party cookies, third party cookies, indexdb, localstorage, sessio

Sorry about that...public now. So the whole selling point of this approach is that after coordination with other browsers - the server is completely out of the picture. All telemetry is done peer-to-peer instead of coordinating with a centr
