Documentaries always like to show them as geniuses because it’s more exciting than the idea that people are oblivious and law enforcement isn’t always effective.

This sounds hypothetical and old fashioned but Trump was trying to force hotels to house ICE agents while they do their gestapo shit. So it’s still very relevant.

Capitalism consumes everything, even criticism of itself.

I do a Kansas City BBQ pizza with brisket, red onion and pickles. It’s amazing.

I’ve also become more and more convinced that these colossal huge general models are not necessary for many useful tasks and smaller more focused models will do just fine for a lot of the workloads people will actually be willing to pay for. Particularly once these companies have to stop selling at a loss.

I like and use Cloudflare but it’s worth mentioning you must use their dns for domains you purchase from them.

Generally when accuracy matters I ask for a direct link with proof and for the specific part of the doc that is related. I either get exactly that or it’ll realize it’s hallucinating and can’t prove anything.

Hugely wasteful but unfortunately still faster than how unusable search has become.

“How about an orange because it’s orange.”

I’m skeptical this wasn’t about selling Steam keys on an external site for less than the price on Steam. Plenty of places sell DRM free versions of games at whatever price they want but steam keys can’t be discounted on external sites. That price parity is only for steam keys though at least per policy.

Changing the password on my password manager is so stressful.

Legit have to plan a good time of year to upend my life like that.

I haven’t seen Sable suggested, but it’s a very pleasant indie game with a lot of BotW in its DNA. It’s not as large and content filled as some of these suggestions but it does have a great sense of style and is more tonally similar to Zelda.

Had to Google it but it looks pretty nice. I thought you meant that you were injecting giant ads into Android TV.

I can’t imagine what nightmarish vulnerabilities Microsoft knows about and is hiding because they would require too much effort to patch. I bet there are some really crazy things that have probably been wide open for decades if you only knew where to look.

My body has the same data quality problems as a datacenter:

Garbage in, garbage out.

Generally people should be more worried about the Ring camera across the street than someone using AI to analyze signal shaping data from the Wi-Fi to figure out what room you are in.

I’m interested to see what kind of hardware will produce “good enough” AI capabilities in a couple years as things are refined and tuned further. The gap between the absolutely massive commercial models and open source models keeps shifting but I don’t have the same fear that I had a few years ago that it might not be possible to get good results from anything less than millions of dollars worth of hardware.

There are very few places on earth that are capable of producing the silicon wafers used in RAM. These factories are still producing at the same rate as before but buyers who pay more (large companies with data centers) are buying them so there are fewer left over for normal consumers (hence the high prices). So why not scale up by making the factories bigger or faster? They are, it will take decades to do that because the process is so advanced. Why not just scale out by building more factories for producing the parts? They are, but that too will take decades.

Buy the game after a few years of bug fixes on sale with all the DLC for basically the same price as a sandwich… or pay $80 for a buggy broken incomplete experience with no real guarantee any promised content will ever materialize.

Although I guess I need SOME people to keep buying them at launch to subsidize my frugality.

I deployed Technitium with docker, but generally this got me heading in the right direction with the initial setup. It’s more of an overview and quickstart than an in depth guide though.

I was doing basically this with a different sync tool, but I had a couple issues with it:

• If I needed to toggle ad blocking I had to go toggle it on both pihole instances
• When troubleshooting an issue I had to check two log sources, or disable one and then reproduce the issue again
• Sync was one directional so I could only make configuration changes from the primary instance

I’ve been a very happy Pihole user for years and years and Pihole 6 is the best yet, but once you’re dealing with multiple pihole instances, Nebula Sync and Unbound, then Technitium is actually simpler to manage since it does all that natively.
