I avoid talking to LLMs in my native tongue (French), they always talk to me with a very informal style and lots of emojis. I guess in English it would be equivalent to frat-bro talk.

I don't know where you are from, but that is the case for most european countries. I would be surprised if it were not also the case in the US? Usually it's not implemented as a rule though, but rather by creating tax cuts for ce

My wife worked for a cloth upcycling association (finding sustainable future for discarded clothes). Reality is, there is just 10x more thrown out clothes in the west that any third world country on earth could need, same for shelters. Asso

I used to work for a well known communication app, the kind everyone here used. Couple things I learnt about "end to end encryption": - You can call your service e2e encrypted even if every client has the same key bundled into the

The goal here is just to piggyback on the AI bandwagon, gather a lot of funding, create a product nobody understands but that sparks imagination, and sell it to FAANG. Nobody cares if it makes sense, it just has to appear futuristic and ava

The UK was happy to ignore the violation of the handover agreements and offer BNO passports to steal all the young brains of HK, unfortunately.

There are no security implications, on the contrary. It is objectively cleaner to keep your user scripts in your home, that way they are only in _your_ PATH, whereas putting them in /usr/[local/]bin implicitly adds them to ev

Not really, but these stuff are in an isolated DMZ vlan, so theres not much to escalate to. I fancy a bit upgrading to a smarter router like unify's with integrated firewall and stuff like like though.

I use funnels for things like Vaultwarden, that are secure enough to be exposed on internet, and would be cumbersome if behind the tailnet. I use serve for everything else, just for the clean SSL termination for things that should stay wit

I have a "Copilot" button on my new ThinkPad. I have yet to understand what it does that necessitates a dedicated button. On Linux it does nothing, on Windows it tells me I need an Office 365 plan to use it. Like... What the hell.

I wouldn't say comics are really popular in France. But we may have different interpretations of what comics are, as I don't consider "bandes dessinées" (e.g. Tintin) as comics.

I know nothing of this world of comics, I guess because it is essentially part of the US culture and did not penetrate much of Europe. There has been a number of investigative shows arguing the valuation of collectibles in general (comics i

The hash to verify content is only half of the problem. You also need to store the _actual_ content of the page. What's the point of having Wikipedia reference a URL + hash if the page does not exist anymore? A blockchain is, at its co

by Galanwe 11mo ago
You do need some kind of reliable, distributed storage though. The sequential nature of a blockchain also ensures that such stored content is held no matter what by any full node.
