At the rate things are going, yeah there will be a point where intelligence services aren't going to be happily cooperating across the Atlantic, that is unless there is a clear mutual benefit in doing so.

The one EU service I can't find is an easy OIDC provider, like okta or auth0, to manage the users of a SAAS. Any recommendations?

I guess it depends on how you frame it. "I've just posted this comment, what do you think" vs "Someone online has just posted this comment, what do you think". But it does require to know the bias that LLMs have ahe

One was taken during daylight on film, which needs to be processed and scanned, the other one was taken at high ISO during night time on a digital camera. So much interpretation is done on colour on each step of the way that it's not s

Or maybe Microsoft continuously degrading their user's experiences has finally reached a breaking point, to the point where Pewdipie AND Linus Tech Tips are talking more seriously about linux. So yeah Pewdiepie is part of it, but I hon

everyone here is commenting how odd it looks to use a regexp for sentiment analysis, but it depends what they're trying to do. It could be used as a feedback when they do A/B test and they can compare which version of the model is

The same way you can decide to not visit a website, you can decide to not use LibreOffice. I think it makes sense, how else are they supposed to fundraise and develop the features that makes the software useful to manage your own data?

I've installed linux (debian LTS with XFCE) on my mom's computer and she recently called me to thank me. She says her computer is much quieter now (meaning fewer notifications). She only needs a web browser and a text editor. So y

I use claude code with an API key and pay per token, and the /cost command is very helpful. And before people ask, it's because I have a very low usage and it's cheaper to pay per token. I'll have the odd month at $30, t

Do you mean every pixel or every sub-pixel? Sub-pixel is interesting because the geometry of the grid isn't going to be the same from one screen to the other. It might also look compressed horizontally.

This claim keeps circulating around and around and is not "EVs are producing more pollution", it's "if EVs are going at motorway speed, and if we only look at the pollution generated by the tires, then indeed they produc

I don't think it's about repeating the instructions, but rather providing feedback as to why it's not working. I've noticed the same thing when creating an agentic loop, if the model outputs a syntax error, just automati

Exactly, I stopped reading when I saw the flying stats. There are people who still haven't clocked where our climate is headed. I get that you may have to see family abroad or maybe indulge for a holiday, but this is "I'm usi

In fairness, back in 2017 I bought a OnePlus 5T with 12G of RAM. That's almost a decade ago. Phones RAM progression has stagnated for a LONG time, during that time I doubt that webpages have become lighter, so yeah I'm not surpris

A lot of hate in the comments, I think it's great that companies are in a position where they think it makes sense financially to support Linux as a target platform.

If I may give constructing feedback then, "noise evidence generator" sounds like you're creating fake noise proof to fool courts. The name needs to be revised. "recorder" might feel less like it's inventing thi

For grid storage the only two things that matter are cost and reliability. So it would be a big deal, but it's not the public for whom it would be the biggest deal. I think light aircraft doing short flights might be pretty interested

Starting his post by "I hate corporations and Google is yet another disgusting example of it" is a great way to have no issue resolution. Assuming good intention (at least in writing) may help if this post gets traction.

Politically it would be an interesting choice for Netflix to encourage people to use their BitTorrent clients.. But technically, you're right.

That's not at all how I read it. They mentioned they delivered a software decoder on android first, then they also targeted web browsers (presumably through wasm). So out of these 30%, a good chunk of it is software not hardware. That
