Yeah it didnt cost anything as its free right now, this was literally a test to see what the hype was about. All I'd asked it to do was get its self set up to be a helpful marketing assistant for a web-based product. No specifics or an

tbh you could just combine them with starlink sats. didn't they just apply for (and get?) a license for 1 million sats? Stick a single racks worth of gpu power on those and hey presto you've just got yourself the largest ai cluste

Stupid stuff openclaw did for me: - Created its own github account, then proceeded to get itself banned (I have no idea what it did, all it said was it created some new repos and opened issues, clearly it must've done a bit more than t

Ok let me try this, because I can assure you my intent is not to throw some sort of "gotcha" in here. I'm thinking about this purely from my own personal usecase, and right now as far as I'm aware theres no AWS alternati

What makes you think I'll move the goalpost - the original question was pretty clear; EU cloud providers who offer services like AWS does. What you've linked to is a broad scope site listing a multitude of EU based products and se

Did the exact same thing for a client who's ops we managed on AWS. I was pretty against ditching RDS and a load balanced setup for hetzners load balancer and 3 instances (2 web, 1 db) but honestly, it's been pretty smooth sailing.

The best part of all of this is given their history, and the state of robotaxies as a whole, they will fail, and Tesla will crash. And it'll be a great day. The hype and obscene over valuation of them is utterly moronic. Look how much

it is an abuse vector, GoDaddy use it on domain they deem valuable. If you use their site to check a domains availability they'll often pre-reg it, forcing you to buy it through them or they'll just register it and put it up for a

Technically there is, it's mostly used by the worst domain registrars that nobody should be using, like GoDaddy to pre-register names you search for so you can't go and register it elsewhere. Most registrars don't allow, nor

Apparently he phoned Sam and got the ok. Which TBF wouldn't be hard, OpenAI absolutely would not be able to defend the use of 'Open' in the name.

Go on twitter and search 'maltbot', 'moldbot', 'multbot', etc - the name was just awful and easy to get wrong as its meaningless. I think the crux of it is that 'Molt' isnt a very commonly used word f

Training costs might be coming down but costs for hardware that can run these models is still obscenely high and rising. We're still nowhere near a point where its realistically feasible to run a home LLM that doesn't feel like it

All sounds about right for HSBC. They've got some of the worst banking tech in existence. How the heck anyone puts up with their crap is beyond me, I moved away a decade ago but still have a close family member with them and they'

I've got a similar setup (VM on unraid). For me it's only doing a few light tasks, but I have only had it running for ~48hrs. I dont do any of the calendar/inbox stuff and wouldnt trust it to have access to my personal inbox

Fwiw the new 'maltbot' (molt.bot) is the legit one and can be verified on the official github repo which has had its org changed and loads here: https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot (the original redirects for

Seen a couple of people on X have posted about their Claude accounts being suspended after using this. All of them seem to have used it with Claude Code so yes looks like it violates their policy (not surprising really, it breaks their TOS)

I mean, it's got full desktop access so browsing a webpage is going to be pretty trivial for it. We're well beyond anti-bot stuff at this point.

This may be amazing. But it's also incredibly scary what it will do, and how many people using it just dont understand the issues. Also as of the time of writing theres 337 open issues on the repo, many of which are bug reports and sec

Ha, yep you're right. How bizarre, wasn't a browser ad block, it was adguard dns blocking a ton of tracking scripts needed to show the images.

Totally a tangent here but it amazes me how a company as big as Herman Miller could screw a product page up so much by not even having a picture of the damn product.

What a ridiculously sensationalistic headline. It was a minor issue that occurred out of hours and was resolved less than 30 minutes into the working day. Nobody was in any way injured or affected, and it was business as usual.
