Id argue digital media is still physical media when it simply a portable file. A smaller form, yet no doubt physical.

I think the distinction comes when your the digital media no longer becomes portable. Then it's like a leasing or renting.

True randomness intrigues me and I'm not really sure why. Ive noodled around with creating random number generators from entropy sources like a webcam or microphone. It's a fun exercise.

The most useful case for randomness sources is the application in cryptography primitives I think.

Well, they aren't hated for the tech they built, that is cool and easily appreciated.

People don't like google because they turned it into a way to sell people to others for a profit in essence. Over time more and more intrusive to the point where they are no longer worth any of the services they offer. Like a creepy stalker following you every where you go, at some point you need a restraining order.

Most people don't even realize the creepy stalker exists though.

We are technically searched the very moment you pass one.

And I don't mean in way of an operator querying a database, I mean automated searching. Which somehow can completely bypass 4a protections.

The very existence of a hotlist means the system must search me for a match each time. This is unreasonable and obnoxious and makes me not enjoy driving anymore.

Literally every tradesman in town has an F150 lightning because for fuel alone it’s about 1/4 the cost of any gas or diesel pickup.

I thought ford killed the lightning because it didn't sell?

Does it not demonstrate the trivialness of it which was the case I'm making?

I simply do not want to announce my address here, it's ancillary to the discussion...you shed a layer of security by deciding to make your address public, non of which would benefit the whole point of any of the services I linked.

Circling back to the main discussion of indie web, tor is a great alternative if your circle of visitors is of reasonable size and you want a place outside of the commercialized internet. It's available to anyone.

Paying the penny will certainly give you robustness and reliability...but honestly that's part of the fun of indie web.

Ok, well here is an example of how easy it would be to set up your own torum for instance. 3 or 4 commands and it's up.

I don't feel the need or want to share my services with the world to demonstrate that.

I am? Just not my codebase lol. I don't see why the two ideas need conflated.

I just happen to not self-host my own code base. But your acting like I paid a penny for that, and self hosting git isn't possible, and we aren't on a forum which exists on the commercial internet.

Making something as easy as possible to try demonstrates why you need to pay a penny? I don't follow.

+1. Why even pay the penny? Spinning a onion service is trivial...and...more secure than the clearwebz.

I've made a few easy to spin up services. Heck, you can even run it off your phone.

I can't tell if your being sarcastic but if you can't prove fhe within ( and I'll be generous) a few 1000 lines of code. Bologna.

What are your concerns? LM studio is the opposite of cloud its for running locally?

Interesting. I have some homework to do then. Do we have to close our eyes and look away for it to be true or does it really not gain any insight?

Where can I find out more about how this could be possible?

Have you considered that maybe the computation itself on the private data, no matter how you put it, even if encrypted, was designed to protect the consumer?

I.E., gaining any sort of insight a transaction of protected information is what the protections were in place for.

So is FHE more about skirting regulations and privacy laws? Or, is it a new frontier of an untapped data source that has some red tape around it?

To me, something was simply not encrypted properly if you are able to draw conclusions/learn insights/detect anything about the data. It's in conflict with the idea of what secure encryption means to me.

Ah, that sounds impossible. Good luck, sir...Also, who wants this if you can just run a local model?

1 point per minute and comments from people who never make comments. Is this really that intresting?

It's pretty confident this calculator is a cat.

What's the use case for this?

No they don't track people. /s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wikfmlJHQz8&t=115s

But seriously, there are a large amount of references even from their own site which state the opposite so this is pretty upsetting to find out.

It only corrodes if it's not completely encased in concrete. The concrete stops the reaction. And, if one portion of the rebar is not encased it will eventually corrode through overtime.

Completely remarkable you barely need a brain to be alive...A thought provoking reality to swallow.

Casually spin up some b200's who are you sir..

Great demo/comparision and definitely exiting.

The only accent I treat differently is the unsolicited spam call.

Face to face, I work with Indians, Ukrainians, Vietnamese, Mexicans, Brazilians, Russians, Guatemalans, Cubans, Italians and I love to hear the twang each person has.

Curious what you mean by treated differently or why you needed to put so much effort into hiding your accent? Are you sure it wasn't just general English? Because of course you may get treated differently if you can't speak English...but I think the accent is not really a problem.

Account creation with only a phone number or google account is lame.

Interesting, what's the purpose? Maybe, host a podcast without revealing your real voice?

I tried a few, I think the British American was maybe the best one. I didn't really notice a huge difference on Italian or Indian accent.

British - American https://pastewaves.com/player/25cacf64-461a-4eef-9b02-9bc0da...

A little shaky, but no doubt hints of a British Accent.

I think it should check if my browser is compatible before downloading 50+ mb.

Well that's a lot of money. Cheap considering what that may have cost a few years ago I suppose.

I imagine it is 25k tokens not dollars

I wonder what license will be applied.

It's a loss leader, and also credits can be used in more ways like integrating directly into a product (why would you do this? haven't really seen a great use case yet I dunno).
