There is no such thing as "pseudoanonymous" it's not a thing it does not exist it's an oxymoron.

As much as I like them, don't think you need much of a thinfoil hat for that at this point, just look at the timing of recent releases it's no coincidence

They are good for small tasks but you would not be able to use it like you use Claude and most likely be disappointed. But also, I do not know how you use claude. There are many services online which offer hosted services for these models,

Not being able to discuss the biggest change to our job in living memory is such a reddit thing to do, just sticking their heads in the sand.

There is no reason to assume they said that and all the reason to assume they didn't say that.

There is no way not to, OpenTTD has 0 cards to play since everything is explicitly build on IP that is not theirs, and they know it. They were "not pressured" because Atari didn't utter threats to them, it didn't need to

So what segment does it target in your opinion? The "surface" market is minuscule and compared to the edu market irrelevant, the "vendor lock in" angle with the google logins can easily change over night as it did with m

This is not primarily competing with the surface line of laptops, this is mostly competing with chromebooks which dominate schools. That's a completely different segment of devices.

There it is! Very interesting offering. It's nice that it's running full mac os with "root access" (whatever that means on macs in current year) I was afraid they'd introduce some bastardised version of iPadOS for t

TOS is TOS and if there is one company not to mess with it's Google because they don't give 2 shits about you. Going straight to a ban with 0 warning and 0 appeal possibility is exactly why I'll never use googles AI chat&#x2F

New York also wants 3d printers to know when they are printing gun parts. Sure these initiatives have good meanings but also would only work when "the good ones" chose to label their content as AI generated/gun parts. There w

What claims are you even responding to? Your comment confuses me. This is just a tool that uses existing models under the hood, nowhere does it claim to be "actual intelligence" or do anything special. It's "just" a

Since you have not mentioned it: those crypto scams are NOT related to the project in _any_ way. And I really doubt they've helped the popularity much. From the creator himself: https://x.com/steipete/status/2

Same here, since I'm the only one using my instance. But, you should be aware that there is an CVE in that version that allows any account level to increase their own permissions to admin level, so it's inherently unsafe

Learned a bit more about this initiative since then. I guess this is a great example of why I heavily dislike creator initiatives like this. In their world getting more people to comment is a good thing, no matter what the comment says. In

Clippy was never open source or "good" in any way, it not selling your data was a result of its time, not a conscious choice by its creators. The entire forced clippy "movement" is incredibly poorly thought out

Seeing how reddit is moving in the opposite direction by doing things like allowing people to hide their submission histories, that seems highly unlikely.

It's always been an odd choice to build infra on services owned by companies from a country which doesn't recognise the ICC and, even worse, has a special law that if any of US service men were ever tried there, they will invade t

Seen this around quite abit over the past few days. I wish the github landing page/readme would actually substansiate why this is better beyond it being written in rust which seems to be the main argument for the tool right now. I ma

Which means very little; european trucks are allowed to haul 10~15% more weight per axle. Being allowed to drive faster and or for longer has little to do with 'hardware' beyond different gearing and more to do with road safety an
