Even a network based firewall could have prevented it.

Why do that when you can do Sino bad?

Pay respect to Aaron Swartz, and go download whatever you need. I hear Anna's got an archive, or there is some Z Lib somewhere. If buying isn't ownership, downloading isn't stealing.

I fail to see how either of those are useful or beneficial to society.

LM Studio is trash on Windows / Linux... guess that makes sense...

This, plus there is research that suggests dark mode does not help with retention of information.[1] I have started to slowly transition back to light mode for most of my work applications. (Email, Coding, etc.)

Dark mode feels correct, but it is hostile. Now blue light on the other hand... you should get filters for your monitor/glasses.

Awwwe, cmon. You are thinking about the problem space incorrectly. This is an opportunity to create a unicorn company that develops the first AI tongue.

I think this is where leveraging classifier models will become important. The frontier LLM models do "everything", while we've known for a while that to truly scale this we will need to distill models into their individual functions. I don't see this as necessarily a bad thing and hope more is done in this space. Very promising.

If buying isn't ownership, than piracy isn't stealing.

Government can do what they want, but if they ain't for the people, I ain't for the Government.

The whole trump admin has been an experiment on eroding our civil liberties and the rule of law.

No but your little flame war is trying to be without adding anything new to the argument.

Some poor roofer is working 14 hour days in this ungodly heatwave. Burning CD's sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

Well in the U.S. you can start by participating in civic engagement and in your local community.

Civic engagement across the U.S. is at historic lows. We are giving up social society for digital screens these days.

Better to fix it now than tomorrow.

Aside concerns that this is not mature and may possible be built using AI-driven development. Does this not just put every resource behind a single point of failure?

Sorry, should have ran my comment through a LLM to appease the irreverent assholes, forgive me sire.

This. I find distillation way more ethical than piracy. The U.S. already jumped the gun by making this stuff not copyrightable. We should of instead held these companies liable. It's not like the research they did in the process was for naught. They (U.S. AI companies) could of sourced legal material without stooping to the same lows that China and other nations are willing to go to. All in the name of a buck.

Anyways - I pay for z.ai, Opencode Go, Ollama Cloud. I love me some distilled models.

People continue to criticize Arch for being elitist or gate-keeping

I have the complete opposite experience. Arch makes it easy to get in and get hacking right away. Their beginner guide's on the wiki were a gem 10-15 years ago... made it super easy to get up and running. I don't have the time these days to tinker - but boy do I love some Arch.

I'd suggest using OpenCode (via Go sub or just API credits). It will give you access to more than just one companies models and you can experiment and find one that works best for you.

I really like GLM and ended up subbing to both OpenCode Go & z.ai. Mistral, Kimi and Mimi are all also options as well. I have been eyeballing the Kimi Pro sub for a while now and contemplating cancelling my ChatGPT sub for it.

Gotta love HN. You can't just have a thread without a psycho-analysis on how people interact with each other on a social media website.

It's not a comment crafted in good faith. It's telling you what to think and why, using an unrelated analogy to attempt to build credibility.

As a constituent, I see this as the right move.

I would not benefit from an outright ban so that would be too heavy handed. On the other hand - something has to be done. If anything else it's proof the people do have the power to convince their representatives that these affairs matter and we are paying attention.

I wouldn't be to quick to dismiss this as only political theater.

The compute is still real. The VRAM is still real. And the memory bandwidth is where it gets genuinely surprising.

Had to stop there. Annoying. I can't stand AI use for writing. It makes any otherwise great article feel so disingenuous.

But does it surface relevant search results?

Many things on the web use Yandex.

This. I have no trust in TrueCrypt or it's derivatives. If TrueCrypt was compromised then it stands that VeraCrypt is as well.

Ever since the TrueCrypt fiasco years ago, I have no trust in that brand.

Mental health is up there, but far from the most important thing we need to be focusing on as a society in the immediate future.

I say this as someone who has mental health issues, has experience loss of important people around me because of mental health issues, and probably need more therapy than the universe could reasonably provide me.

AI is directly and indirectly uprooting every facet of society. Money, energy, food, housing, medicine. Cultural revolutions are not pretty, the true outcomes are felt by those who are the winners and losers. It very much feels like a rich eats all scenario is playing out right now. I'd wager that's because it is.

Worth calling out that CopyFail can be trivially patched. I did so on my personal devices + remote servers. The attack vector is apparently only typically utilized for exploits anyways, it supposedly has little practical/legitimate use.

This article has instructions on how to self-patch: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/new-linux-cop...

IRC has existed for decades.

A little off-topic, I honestly don't think it's as much as the browser interface that needs to be reworked as it is the idea of operating systems in general.

I don't know what the right answer is, but having used Niri/Wayland vs. GNOME vs. Windows vs. Mac... I will never go back to a non-tiling desktop and a none-kb driven workflow for desktop window management.
