sponsorblock + uBO. Giving into the wishes of tyrants (pay us or else we're going to saddle you with ads) never weakens the power of the tyrants, it only strengthens and encourages them.

That's not strictly a platform problem. US Federal Government (intelligence agencies) were conducting aggressive information operations (i.e. narrative control) and has effectively infinite taxpayer money to bully / sue / har

I know it's not the recommended runner (OpenHands), but running this on Cline (ollama back-end), it seemed absolutely atrocious at file reading and tool calling.

You're of the opinion that the public's approval of the bureaucracy is higher , rather than lower? president > congress > nameless, faceless bureaucracy

Energy Star didn't only measure energy usage, it restricted freedom of trade between what were otherwise two parties voluntarily engaging in trade with no fraud, coercion, or deceit. Poor analogy.

The government does not have the trust of the public. Presidential approval ratings in recent administrations have been under 50% on both sides of the aisle and Congress is even lower than that. If anything, distrust of government is near

The GOP is not the party of small government. They are the right hand of the uniparty of big government, which sometimes LARPs as the party of small government. There are real small government parties in the US, they just don't get any

From the context of our socialist society's current far-left overton window featuring social wealth redistribution pyramid schemes (OASI, which meets the SEC's and CFPB's statutory definitions of a pyramid scheme), socialized

I assume you bought years ago at a low interest rate - please correct me if I'm wrong. What do you figure the mortgage would be at today's price and interest rates?

The pace with which the cost of living is rising is staggering. Heck, I remember the fight for 15 (referring to the campaign to raise the federal minimum wage to $15/h) a decade ago, but I don't see how someone could live on that,

I'm all for corporate death penalty or forced divestiture for every company with a $1T+ market cap. Fuck Apple, Nvidia, Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla, Broadcom, and Berkshire Hathaway. The more decentralization the better.

Good guess. I'm big on "marketplace of ideas", where each state has far greater control of public policy (which is overwhelmingly federalized right now). If California wants to show the world how good single-payer healthcare

Would it not be better to have a peaceful, civil, lawful, separation of the two different Americas than for us to rigidly cling to an idea of a "United" States that no longer represents reality? We're clearly living in two di

Yes, you can, actually. Pyinstaller will produce PE, ELF, and Mach-O executables, and Py2wasm will produce wasm modules that will run in just about any modern browser.

Are grammar rules surrounding past participles and infinitives, or the history of the long-dead civilizations that were ultimately little more than footnotes throughout history really more important than basic digital literacy?

Google/Alphabet's corporate death penalty (forced dissolution by the state) cannot come quickly enough. Live by the sword (secretly cooperate with state-run intelligence agencies against the interests of their own users), die by t

"Entity that conducts IP theft whines about IP theft"... just like OpenAI whining about Deepseek distillation... Remember kids: information wants to be free!

If people who cannot read code well enough to evaluate whether or not it is secure are using LLM's to generate code, no amount of model transparency will solve the resulting problems. At least not while LLM's still suffer from the

But there is also no publicly known way to implant unwanted telemetry, backdoors, or malware into modern model formats either (which hasn't always been true of older LLM model formats), which mitigates at least one functional concern a

It's amusing to see the hypocrisy on display, though. The authors of the report seem to be seriously accusing DeepSeek of IP theft from OpenAI, which was built on... IP theft. LOL.

Isn't this a bit of semantic lawyering? Open model weights are not the same as open source in a literal sense, but I'd go so far as to suggest that open model weights fulfill much of the intent / "soul" of the open

I want to clarify that I'm bouncing around policy ideas here, not making impassioned calls for specific policy positions. Your concerns about state-sanctioned racialization / eugenics are certainly valid and historically supported

Trust the megacorporations. Trust your government. "It works well for everyone else, why are you being so weird by not doing what everyone else does?" Grant the megacorporations control over your entire life. Your government wil

If the consequences for following through with a poorly-planned pregnancy are so tragically high for the children, why do we not simply restrict and have licensing requirements for the privilege to have children? We use the power of the sta

I recognize that kids in poverty is not a desirable outcome. That said, I'd also point out that 18 years of child support (which many states assign as an uncapped percentage of the man's income - not based on what it actually cost

If the man wants the child, and the woman doesn't, the man "loses" - the child gets aborted. If the man does not want the child, and the woman does, the man "loses" - he is forced to pay child support. I have brough

For best results, I believe you're supposed to combine all of the above. Like condoms, they don't always work perfectly.
