what good does it do to invest in a solved problem?

if open models are good enough then it doesn't matter, if they aren't then there's probably a return available in investing there.

Sam Neill has died 10 days ago

i saw him around a lot on tv and so on as an australian, just genuinely a pretty good bloke. like i dunno what to say i don't know if i've ever cried about an actor dying before

i'd love to say he was awesome in every role but he always seemed super honest in his performance and i think that hurt him a lot when he had to play bullshit characters lol.

i dunno i'm just some guy

i don't see how it's a design mistake, linux allows more footguns in general to not decrease utility. Allowing you to manually give root prompt access (with warnings!) to a non-root user is one of them.

you can also just not run docker as root and not add normal users to the docker group

it already sends data back to google, the ai stuff, everything that goes in the address bar goes straight to google unless you specifically configure chrome to block it

the on-device ai just offloads some work onto your device

i doubt anyone will be banning chrome, for some reason "it's for ai" is a valid excuse for any amount of sillyness

i think it was just poorly implemented. i didn't use the circles feature because all my friends would be in one circle and my family were all offline, but i still had to deal with it for no personal benefit

opt in probably would have been better, like just default everyone to one circle and make it obvious how to split them up after you're a bit more comfortable with the platform

they made a bunch of other obvious blunders like attempting to force real names and spread them to youtube, mandatory account linkage etc etc but i think there were probably just too many conflicting high level voices at google trying to set direction

Unless this is improved greatly from the last time I used it is pointless, any command you would use it for instead requires you to right click, open as administrator a command prompt to get the expected result

Australia is still pretty messy, Telstra was privatised and pretty much stopped upgrading their network for years around the 24 mb ADSL level

Eventually we had a forward thinking prime Minister create a new company that started running fibre to homes and wholesaling it to non government businesses but they lost power and fibre to the home became fibre to the neighbourhood running the last bit over existing phone lines

Eventually it was returned to fibre to the home as upgrading existing lines to run shitty 100mb connections was actually much more expensive than just running fibre

We're only now starting to get to the point where fibre is fairly available when it could have been ten years ago

while true i think it's inevitable. bots are most of the internet, limiting communities to known good actors is becoming incredibly important and the side effect of removing unknown good actors is difficult to get around

with wireguard i found that pretty almost every public wifi blocked it and even a lot of private internet connections at my friends houses did as well

if my mobile provider blocked it as well it would have been completely useless

probably depends on your location a lot though

If it was easy I would expect 5-10% if people would probably do it, much like alternate desktop installs

This would mean millions of devices

You mention Graphene is more secure so what exactly am I gaining from not being able to install it other than my phone being trash once it's out of support

GPT-5.4 5 months ago

I bullied it into giving me concise answers, now it starts every answer with "just quickly" or something similar but it gets straight to the point

What about having several use cases in mind, and give the scores for each of those?

i imagine the same reason they don't score for 1, it takes time that could be allocated elsewhere

tbh i think scoring for multiple scenarios would take more time and be less useful. kernel devs are not implementors, they may have never used docker or built a cut down kernel for an iot device, they just build a general purpose kernel

Facebook is cooked 5 months ago

The algorithm is not optimised for meaningful interactions, even 10 years ago i couldn't get it to even mostly show friends and family after fighting it for a week
