The Hobbyist

Thorn, the company backed by Ashton Kutcher and which tried to get its way to monitor all messages in the EU via Chat Control. No thanks.

The proud dad’s name ends with Unis and the kid remembers the X first digits, hence Unix, hence Linux!

This. I will resume my recommendation of Bitwarden.

I’m wondering, the integrated RAM like Intel did for Lunar Lake, could the same performance be achieved with the latest CAMM modules? The only real way to go integrated to get the most out of it is doing it with HBM, anything else seems like a bad trade-off.

So either you go HBM with real bandwidth and latency gains or CAMM with decent performance and upgradeable RAM sticks. But the on-chip ram like Intel did is neither providing the HBM performance nor the CAMM modularity.

They used PimEyes, nothing new.

Of importance: they do not want to release the tool but use it as a way to raise awareness.

You mean between the French article and the English comment? :)

From what I understand, bsky’s architecture seems to allow federation at multiple levels. On one side the individual profiles are actually websites and the app aggregates the content almost as an RSS reader. I do see some profiles which are independent like Jeff Gierling’s, so yes federation at the profile level seems to work.

And this is really important because it is one way to prevent your data from being hostage by the service. Then there is another level of federation. I’m not entirely sure of the terminology here, but there is one aggregator aspect, which is quite compute intensive. And that one I don’t know if there is another instance of it. But functionally speaking, I’m quite impressed by the technical aspect of bsky. There has been a lot of thought put into it.

And monetizing it is not the issue, the problem is mostly how. That they have some paid features is fine, it’s even important that there are ways to monetize it without milking their users of their privacy.

Let’s hope this works out and becomes sustainable while respecting the users!

That does not sound like a viable long term solution to me.

It may have been the case in the past but Ive used both the GTX 680 and RTX 3060 on Fedora with no issue whatsoever. I have veen using the nvidia peoprietary drivers and they work well.

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic and co should help fight this fight, their tools are the problem here.

indeed! so there must be more to this. So how does it actually work?

Many such lawsuits have ended in settlements outside of courts, so I’m guessing many legal claims have not been validated or invalidated in court yet. This can be good or bad of course. But now, if this guy goes to court, I’m actually concerned because it may give an unchallenged path to Nintendo’s legal arguments and assuming the court decides he’s guilty, there will be precedent of these legal claims having been vetted in court. Would that not be worse for anyone in the future who would want to challenge Nintendo’s legal claims?

This was already quite a significant challenge compared to socketed RAM, but now with Lunar Lake I guess this is simply impossible? The RAM chips are colocated with the CPU…

im not sure this applies to Switzerland but Framework now allows freight forwarding within the EU it seems (it also seems recent as most older discussion says it was prohibited).

Also, I think a delivery to Switzerland is not too far out as they have finalized a keyboard layout a while ago and this is a necessary step before delivery.

(Notice how there is Sweden in that list which is now available for a laptop to order too officially).

I’m hoping these countries get expanded to soon!

I’m with you all the way, really, except that, truly, KDE plasma and dark mode are the superior choices, obviously :)

We had captchas to solve that a while ago. Turns out, some people are willing to be paid a miserable salary to solve the captchas for bots. How would this be different? The fact of being a human becomes a monetizable service which can just be rented out for automated systems. No “personhood” check can prevent this.

I think it exists and works but that its simply not in their best interest to have people use it and be found out that they used chatgpt, for OpenAI’s business/profit potential. I have nothing to back it up but have just lost all faith in OpenAI.

Serious question: how does North Korea train “imposter IT pros”? Are these people working for the government who get access to the www? How do they then develop the skills to be selected as such in the first place? What kind of programming experience us taught in NK?
