Yes that is the one. I'm surprised by the low rating on IMDb. Well produced movie, with an interesting real-life inspired premise, a bit of thriller.

The "Kompromat" angle should not be ignored in this day and age. "In cases of kompromat during the early 21st century, Russian operatives have been suspected or accused of placing child pornography on the personal computers o

I've seen people in real life still pushing for crypto. Believe it or not they already got burned a couple of times, but somehow they think that with the next crypto they'll be at the top of the pyramid chain and able to cash out.

That website is no longer worth pointing out. The person running it cannot be contacted by others so the offerings and details are frozen in time.

Fairphone makes their fair share of blunders. Software updates are a big issue, especially around the times that critical vulnerabilities need to be patched. With the hardware I'm not impressed, and on their own forum I've seen pl

As someone reading much of what Molly White publishes, there is no short supply of people in crypto that give of the same aura and are f̵i̵n̵a̵n̵c̵i̵n̵g̵ donating to someone that will push their crypto regulation agenda https://h

You might want to try to follow on that, maybe they do have a separate if in their codebase if you're logging in for the appeal. Otherwise the DSA approach, with whatever that may entail process wise.

When working a regular 9-5 I very much preferred office presence for the social aspect, especially when work is slower and no pressure. But when I actually need to concentrate and deliver high quality work, it needs to be in a quiet place.

That is where their responsibility ends in terms of the EU AI Act. And that is fine and how it should be, no secret watermarks.

I had the option, and had it disable everywhere, manually. The only one I didn't use, at all, is Anthropics service because of iffy Dario aura and their terms of service. Where is training in user data enforced and not possible to opt

You must have not been keeping up with the times :) Their big play this year was to write a "whitepaper" on the future state of EU economy, which is something that they'd like to hand of to EU leaders and part of that proposa

Brave's adblocker does a good job. As far as I know Firefox started using some of the Rust written components of that engine. Interestingly on fingerprinting test websites, Brave also did significantly better than Firefox + PrivacyBadg

GDPR would be enough if money was the aim. Enforcement is pretty thin with that as well, not as if there weren't enough companies out there that can and need to be fined.

Ha! That's pure nonsense propaganda. Show me where it is 10x easier to take disability than establish a company. Then show me how EU destroyed Germany's nuclear energy, while doing well in other countries. If you can't you ar

For me htmx is a utility library to spruce up a couple of interfaces here and there that benefit from a bit of reactivity. Anything more complex I really don't feel that it's the right tool. Or that there is any great tool to buil

If it's technically.implemented uniformely without thought of user access patterns, then yes it's a bad idea causing friction and frustration. If I drag&drop a file in an app or it's icon, or by right click. The permissio

Premature optimization argument fits right in. Now that memory is up to 10x more expensive it is worth considering optimizing programs with large memory footprint.

Use of the term of direct democracy feels dilution in that case. It is a significant step in that direction, though for me (and wikipedia) direct democracy is without the middleman. Switzerland still has parties, elected government and so f

They had large increase in volume, and trying to move to Azure at the same time. I don't envy them for either work they need to do. But also don't feel pithy because it's Microslop, at the end of the day.

What do you use instead of llama.cpp? With vllm for example most models don't seem to be supported out of the box.

Yes, it is very impressive what they can do by recycling copyrighted material. They are more impressive for me when they are not used in agentic contexts. Though that doesn't sell hype anymore to inflate valuation. For more than a year

You can generally understand your AWS cloud usage, and waste can be self evident with their existing tools. Not at all with llms. A postgres index post is unlikely to reach front page. It's already part if the docs, and should include

Yes, llama.cpp supports presets (an ini format). Though it's not always clear which llama-server flags it does not support.

Thanks for the laugh with the netflix logo. I feel that is very apt when all their recent shows I've glanced at seem to have their scripts brought from Temu or from a genai prompt.
