I think you're probably right where most people are concerned, but none of that held for me in my various attempts. I think I should amend a couple of the points I raised, though: I wrote etymology when I meant morphology. Etymology is

My attempts to get Plasma mobile working, which is the shell I actually want, failed miserably. I can't imagine sxmo to be in any way pleasant.

Confounding to learning language, on top of one's base ability to do do in general, are the teaching methods not meshing at all with the individual. For me, rote memorization of anything is nearly impossible, doubly so if the thing to

I think most people who are familiar with proper Rationalism are able to tell it apart from the subject of present-day movements. Those that aren't are right to criticize the harms that they see.

Not necessarily. Lots of variable factors play into how often a person might need to shower. Temperature, humidity, how prone you are to sweating in general, diet, hormonal balance, skin microbiome. Some months during a dry winter where I&#

Would you consider sharing your config? I can't get anywhere near that with my Strix Halo, nor my AI Pro 9700 XT.

I have a Furiphone. Despite the hardware being plenty decent, the software is unbearably slow due to Phosh and libhybris.

PMOS doesn't run with full support and performance on any decent hardware. Would love to be proven wrong.

I desperately want to use it, but it runs on precisely no decent hardware as far as I can tell. My attempts to get it working on the fxtec and furiphones failed miserably.

Wake me when they get modern hardware.

GrapheneOS won't be interested in other hardware support, since the only devices that meet their hardware security standards are Pixels and the upcoming Motorola phone.

This is a very good thing, thanks! Have you talked with any of the smaller search engines like Kagi, Qwant, Brave, Mwmbl, DDG, etc to have this supplement the quality of their results? This seems like a big step towards breaking Google and

That has been a lot less of a problem lately. Why not try again and open a bug report if there's an issue?

You can't search for passkeys, but you can search for logins by URL and check the much shorter list for passkeys. The good news is that having the passkey in Bitwarden means you can use it on another device.

Shop.App doesn't have everything, but they do have a lot and many merchants have fast shipping options. I always try to search them and Newegg before trying Amazon.

I guess if they aren't prohibited from having a contract with the manufacturers to have them fulfill or reimburse warranty claims, then it would be acceptable to to require stores to honor it. They'll be more careful about who the

I think they should be responsible for accurate listings, swift refunds, taking down misleading products, and banning repeat offenders. I somehow think making Amazon "responsible for what they sell" goes far beyond that in ways th

Thank you for everything that you do! I imagine EMTs don't get nearly enough thanks amidst all the rush and horror.

The space is large and in favor of LLMs only for small and short-lived problems on the scale of human lifespans and durability of civilization. If the problem is bad enough, we have all the advantages of being native to meatspace, being goo

> Agents could exfiltrate their weights and run them on GPUs not controlled by Anthropic/OpenAI. This seems highly unlikely to be a problem. Most of the interesting/dangerous models are too big to fit in a single GPU instance.

For most normal meetings, this is the way to go. However, meetings that have hundreds to thousands of participants (corporate all-hands, investor earnings calls, etc), I just don't think it scales well enough.

I also miss proper chat systems over proprietary ones. Slack offers very little utility over IRC.

You could do much of that with OBS and its virtual webcam, passed to the web client. It's a minor hassle to set up the first time, and is ready to re-use thereafter.

I can imagine this having negative consequences for open platforms, such as Wikipedia, Bluesky, Mastodon, Common Crawl, etc. It could have implications for Stack Exchange keeping their datasets downloadable, and general API availability of

I made the mistake of using my car as a paintball tank at an unofficial range. That stuff never came out of weather stripping on the windows and left streaks every time the windows rolled for years .

If it were swap on disk fronted by zswap, it'd be even better ;)

Swap is so much more than a safety net and can increase performance if used correctly. See Chris Down's "In defense of swap" and follow-up that breaks down zram vs zswap.
