Venice AI has a solution where I stake their Base ERC20 token, and in exchange I get a proportional amount of free daily-refreshing API access to a variety of high-powered open source models, besides the staking yield and free Pro subscript

I think it was a perfectly reasonable statement. But because it does not align with a recent radical redefinition of diversity, she was fired. Apple certainly wasn’t at risk of losing money over keeping her in that role.

Apple fired its Chief Diversity Officer when she said that white men with blue eyes can also count towards a diverse workforce. A purely non-monetary ideological capitulation. https://www.bet.com/article/pe65fc/app

VeniceAI is great for privacy focused hosting of open-source models. Hopefully they add Qwen 3 Coder (which appears to be on par with Claude 4 for coding) to their API, then I can use my tools with it.

While I wouldn't put it that way, I definitely agree that local device technical obstacles are the best conduit for learning as a youth. As a kid and young teen during the 1995-2005 era there were a lot of hoops to figure out and jump

Thinking about client vs server, wouldn't it be even less wide-ranging, less costly to enforce, and more appropriately targeted if such mandates are one-time and on the client side - only on device manufacturers and OEM-shipped OS? Sup

Is it possible to genetically engineer fast-growing but sterile trees that are 5x the height and width of mature hardwoods? Plant one in every sizeable park, greenbelt, and plaza. Would add some nice green variety to skylines and suburbs an

Those early tokens aren't necessarily immutable, they still could be "edited" depending on UI. Human conversation and even internal compositional cogitation is full of "what I meant by that" or "on second thoug

Labour Party was elected six months ago. It is doubling down on existing government surveillance policy as a cure-all weapon to investigate and chill opposition, and to humble foreign tech companies.

In this case yes - everything went by the design and law of the underlying code. There was no exploited bug or vulnerability flaw besides human laziness here. 1) Their multi-signature wallet signing employees lazily clicked through in uniso

This is a polemic that fills every paragraph with name-calling and fear-mongering over “Christian fascists”. It is not intellectually interesting and does not belong on HN.

There is no cluster at 150 in the underlying data though, there's even distribution among unrealistically high age ranges. This is yet another case of people taking partisan telephone game conjecture literally.
