I got a GMKtec G3.

I suppose I never actually had a good experience with Amazon to be able to compare against.

You’d be surprised, actually. You have to be careful, yes - the default option is that you get crap - but all of the high-quality cycling gear/running gear/variety consumer electronics I’ve scored is a testament to the possibility of getting great stuff.

Honestly, it’s baffling how good some of the stuff you can get off of AliExpress is, especially when taking the low price into account.

My ~$100 N100 server is a testament to that. Just need to score some additional storage for it

As I understand it, Google mostly ships new stuff that they let die because it’s one of the only ways to get a promotion at Google - to ship a product.

Once shipped, the newly promoted staff moves on to something else, and the business people take a look and see if the product actually makes any sense from a financial perspective, which is rarely the case.

SSL is not the tool you need in this case, although you should obviously already be running exclusively on encrypted traffic.

The problem here is one of access rights - you should not make files default-available for anyone that can figure out the file name to the particular file in the bucket. At the very least, you need to be using signed URLs with a reasonably short expiration, and default all other access to be blocked.

Language models are unsuitable for math problems broadly speaking. We already have good technology solutions for that category of problems. Luckily, you can combine the two - prompt the model to write a program that solves your math problem, then execute it. You’re likely to see a lot more success using this approach.

I don’t think OpenAI maintains any data centers, they run all of their stuff on Azure.

I believe it’s mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.

To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.

Residential wind for electricity generation is not really recommendable afaik, but it could be viable for some amount of heat generation, potentially: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2019/02/heat-your-house-with-a-mechanical-windmill/

Oh shit, my bad. Yeah, hard agree there

Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

How is Daniel Ek a nazi? That’s a wild take if I’ve ever heard one.

I’d be impressed with any model that succeeds with that, but assuming one does, the complete works of Shakespeare are not copyright protected - they have fallen into the public domain since a very long time ago.

For any works still under copyright protection, it would probably be a case of a trial to determine whether a certain work is transformative enough to be considered fair use. I’d imagine that this would not clear that bar.

I don’t think anyone would consider complete verbatim recitement of the material to be anything but a copyright violation, being the exact same thing that you produce.

Fair use requires the derivative work to be transformative, and no transformation occurs when you verbatim recite something.

It’s extremely frustrating to read this comment thread because it’s obvious that so many of you didn’t actually read the article, or even half-skim the article, or even attempted to even comprehend the title of the article for more than a second.

For shame.

…no?

That’s exactly what the ruling prohibits - it’s fair use to train AI models on any copies of books that you legally acquired, but never when those books were illegally acquired, as was the case with the books that Anthropic used in their training here.

This satirical torrent client would be violating the laws just as much as one without any slow training built in.

Hosting the code is probably non-material as far as costs go for Mozilla, and I doubt they would ever recoup the costs of migrating the code off their current solution in terms of engineering costs.

If I had to guess, this is them meeting other Open Source contributors where they usually are, which in large part is GitHub these days.

Jellyfin is better anyway

I wish this were true, but as a multi-year Plex-to-Jellyfin migrant, I have to point out that Plex was the better software.

I still choose to run Jellyfin for other reasons (don’t like the commercial path Plex is taking, among others), but I still do miss the better reliability and larger feature set in the Plex software stack.

Hey now, we’re all not smart. Sweden makes plenty of garbage decisions that you really should not copy

Pixels can be configured to limit charging to 80% these days.

I’ve started using it and the difference between using 80% and 100% on a daily basis is negligible, I rarely if ever let my device go below about 35% anyway. So this change is basically free battery life for the device
