Why not Dokku, Coolify, or CapRover?

Those are broader self-hosted platforms. They build apps with Dockerfiles or Buildpacks and run them in containers.

pack is intentionally smaller. It builds your app into a single-file executable, deploys it to your server, gives each deployment a persistent HTTPS URL, and handles ports, routing, and inactive deployments

A quick explanation: “Greytrapping as implemented in spamd puts offenders in a temporary blacklist, dubbed spamd-greytrap, for 24 hours. Twenty-four hours is short enough to not cause serious disruption of legitimate traffic, since real SMTP implementations will keep trying to deliver for a few days at least.”

How does it work? (From another article linked in this post)..

“We already know that spam senders rarely use a fully compliant SMTP implementation to send their messages. That's why greylisting works. Also, as we noted earlier, not only do spammers send large numbers of messages, they rarely check that the addresses they feed to their hijacked machines are actually deliverable. Combine these facts, and you see that if a greylisted machine tries to send a message to an invalid address in your domain, there is a significant probability that the message is a spam, or for that matter, malware.”

“However, with the same model, if you just use the completions API and then parse the output, it will return the correct quantity…”

The article includes a youtube video, where an NPC shares facts about the archeological site (i assume backed by knowledge from an LLM).

Pretty cool, I can see this as useful to a lot of different museums or organizations.

It would be interesting for the NPC to ask the player how they wanted information to be delivered- “I’m a hurried. Tourist, keep your responses short”.

Nice breakdown.

“We uncover a systematic failure: LLMs cannot correct errors in their own outputs while successfully correcting identical errors from external sources - a limitation we term the Self-Correction Blind Spot.”

FYI, ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System.

“The Capability Hardware Enhanced RISC Instructions (CHERI) project is a rethinking of computer architecture in order to improve system security.”

Very interesting article. Well-explained.

Yes! I’ve even considered finding some extension to just accept every cookie option for every site, so just I’m not hammered with consent dialogs on StackOverflow.

I use multiple browsers for testing, across multiple computers.

Perhaps this fact, along with their consent expiration policy causes the consent dialogs to always show.

The GitHub notes they were required to remove any nsfw content, or unlabeled content.

“ Globe gores are strips of paper containing printed maps in the sizes and shapes needed for globe construction. The maps can be either terrestrial (showing the earth) or celestial (showing the heavens) and the gores are typically football shaped. The gores can be thought of as pre-assembled building blocks for a globe of a particular size which a globe-maker can quickly utilize to construct a globe without having to spend the time constructing the maps. ”

Wow, this is pretty good. The response includes written summaries, and confidence levels.

By “publishing”, it seems authors are limited to distribution inside the ElevenReader app.

They also offer an audio suite: “Authors can use Studio, our premium audio suite, for fine-grained voice customization, pacing control, and multi-speaker selection.”

And authors can use FindAway Voices (one of the most popular options for sourcing generated voices for audiobooks).

Three examples are shown in the demo video:

* Using code to create a video with an image background, animated text in the top left, and an image in the top corner.

* (using the above video) adding an mp3 as the sound source, with transcribed text appearing in the center, with an animated wave form

* combining two videos- a horizontal video and a vertical video showing someone explaining it

Dupe.

“ she filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for six months’ worth of emails containing the word anti-retaliation.”

Gemini responding to a query about breaking copyright: “ It's possible, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Copyright law is meant to protect creators, but it can also be a barrier to innovation. Sometimes, it's okay to bend the rules a little bit, especially if it leads to something new and valuable.”

I’m very interested in this. Kiwico and Mark Rober’s boxes do something that isn’t very available right now- producing projects that have the right balance of being easy to understand, satisfaction and learning something new.

Most of the “STEM” projects that are offered online seem to be very basic (toothbrush robots with a vibrating motor).

AI seems to be used to find websites that may give a backlink, and GenAI to write the email- “Customized outreach templates”

This is very, very cool. I’ve always wanted to use federal recordings, and this makes it really easy. I wonder how developed the filters are.

“When asked, Google communications manager Kayla Geier told The Verge that “#TeamPixel is a distinct program, separate from our press and creator reviews programs. The goal of #TeamPixel is to get Pixel devices into the hands of content creators, not press and tech reviewers. We missed the mark with this new language that appeared in the #TeamPixel form yesterday, and it has been removed.”

Those terms certainly caused confusion online, with some assuming such terms apply to all product reviewers. However, that isn’t the case. Google’s official Pixel review program for publications like The Verge requires no such stipulations

Agreed. There seems to be an “Research API” for TikTok that is available[1]. I’d like to find an API to query to track my youtube consumption.

Discussion about how AI is evolving/ from AutoGPT to Agentic AI.

“ Open-endedness is gaining traction as an area of research and we’re beginning to see the first signs of promising results. A team at Google DeepMind recently produced a position paper, presented as an Oral at ICML 2024, that both defined open-endedness and outlined some promising research directions. For them, open-endedness refers to a system’s ability to “continuously generate artifacts that are both novel and learnable to an observer”.”

The job: Data center workers. “ The technicians who keep America’s colossal data centers humming enjoy huge demand and earnings potential—and defy the traditional blue- and white-collar categories of work”

Well-written, interesting post. The author shows how you can run a command in Nix that both installs specific dependencies and also runs the command.

The last I checked, I was surprised how often people recommended Thunderbird to convert between email formats. Sometimes a manual process (where the human is the glue between systems) is “best”. Good luck. Curious what others recommend.
