I like it. Is the music AI generated though?

It's an alternative way to cast media to your TV by way of somehow ripping the streaming video off said website or service.

I did also come across this article on Ergo log detailing a study that a chitosan supplement may reduce microplastics absorption (small stud, caveats of course).

Concentration of microplastics in the body decreases due to chitosan supplementation https://www.ergo-log.com/chitosan-microplastics-body.html

Sounds like it's basically dead. The issue with messenger apps is that they're a dime a dozen, there are so many of them and they offer so much variability in security, privacy, but most importantly usability and uptime. If your friends won't switch to them, there's almost no point in having them or using them.

There are a few editions of this guide, apparently, and the most recent is a 2022 edition, but it contains most information of the older editions but might have a newer foreword.

This is the 2022 edition linked from Wikipedia: https://link.us1.storjshare.io/s/jxoqtjnsv35pbrrndvy3gifrqqo...

Here is a html version of the book that has clickable chapter links and so forth: https://www.oism.org/nwss/

Sounds like a very cool project. I often use the ElevenLabs app/extension to listen to articles, but I would love to have a local option to do this. I'm on Windows though, so I look forward to your future updates.

I came here to ask the same question.

There's some details here but I still don't fully understand.

EDIT So, I did a very preliminary search and it appears some people are concerned that HuggingFace is going to be banned for some reason or another are are building some type(s) of repository for open source models.

Here are a few mentions of it on reddit and twitter but really no in depth conversation about why it exists, what purpose it serves or how it's meant to be used. [1] [2]

There was another project mentioned called Tensorbay available at tensorbay[.]net and seems to have torrents for different models, weights, old scrapped websites that might be useful for training data & etc. But, I can't confirm the security or anything about it, so of course, visit all this stuff at your own risk.

I'd love to hear from whoever runs this project what it is and what it's for.

I noticed the nytimes just published an article about this.

How Terrorist Groups Are Using A.I. to Gain an Edge in Battle https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/10/us/politics/ai-terrorism-...

This seems to be the only way forward from what I can figure. Helium's main selling point is that it's essentially degoogled chromium + a few miscellaneous patches & full uBlock. But once Google completely strips all that out of Chromium project, that won't be a tenable option.

I'm not sure what Opera/Vivaldi/et al. use for their native adblocking, but Brave's rust adblocker makes the most sense to me. Really it's uBlock's filtering lists that keep the whole thing working anyway.

How are they going to be adding uBlock Origin to Chromium going forward if manifest v2 gets completely deprecated/removed entirely?

How did you determine who was a no name drop shipper though? Based on what criteria?

I think you're going to have to standardize what you consider to be knock offs and what's not, or you're going to end up in continuous quagmires like this trying to make a determination based on vibes.

You might even end up getting together a team of volunteers to look through them or it'll probably get overwhelming.

What determination did you use to make the original list?

I wonder if this would be useful in OSINT stuff.

So, how did you come up with the brand names and decide on what is a knock off and what is not? I looked over the Github and really didn't see any specific criteria mentioned.

What application is doing the sending and where is it being sent?

How often would you want to run it and do this though? I propose some kind of tool that constantly generates random GDID data and sends it to Windows telemetry.

I think we need to determine where the GDID is being sent and under what circumstances and just spoof that data.

Everyone can claim 100m free tokens or what?

Gotta say I'm not particularly a fan of the font choice on the website.

It's wild how restricting China's access to our GPUs led them to create some of the top & most widely used open source ai models, while the US's models seem to be few and far between.

It looks like Meta has given up on Llama, which was one of the most popular, in favor of going proprietary to make more money.

This also leads me to believe the discussion about China slipping propaganda into their models (the whole "ask it about Tiananmen Square" thing) was never really a thing or at least not a priority for them.

Only way to see what's going on is testing to see what's going on. Hopefully, someone who knows more about it than me can take a look at the packets and see what they contain.

The article links to this page, which was shared on HN yesterday. [1]

I feel like using wireshark to look at what's being sent back and forth from Windows telemetry, when using Edge, Chrome & etc should reveal what's being sent and recieved. Using MITM SSL spoofing should be able to intercept the packets.

So can you change/spoof your GDID easily?

Is it possible to alter or spoof your Microsoft GDID?

EDIT Someone posted this to Github & shared it on HN:

What format was the screen recording in? So it can actually access video playback and edit that video playback and add to it via prompts?

How many tokens/$ did you end up going through for that?

It's been preached for years in the piracy community that it's a terrible idea to use Bittorrent over Tor as it strains their network resources, is incredibly slow and ends up giving legal liability to the exit nodes if they get DMCA requests or whatever from copyright holders (amongst many other problems). [1] I know some clients provide the option to use I2P and that seems to be a better option for a variety of different reasons. [2]

How do we define "mythos level" exactly outside of marketing buzz? I don't even think the majority of us can access Mythos yet even to make a comparison.

I saw that posted on here earlier and I don't know if the person posting it had realized a new ingredient had been approved or was just coincidence.

The principle of charity suggests we should assume good intentions about others and their ideas, and give them the benefit of the doubt before criticising them.

From who? Iran & it's proxies?

It depends on what you're trying to do with it, right? If I have my browser spoof it's useragent to say it's firefox when it's chrome, is that fraud? At what point are we saying something is fraud and at what point are we just trying to avoid needless fingerprinting in apps/operating systems/whatever else?

If you're using any type of adblock in your browser, you're essentially spoofing countless systems just to have those ads not show up. But if I'm having my operating system tell an app that I'm not OS XYZ that's fraud?

Someone in the comments of that post linked to a long FAQ section for GrapheneOS about how apps can identify it and so forth [1]. I don't understand why it doesn't just attempt to spoof that's it's stock Android/Google everywhere it possibly can?
