So if you don't want a self hosted service there are tons of cloud providers. Google photos, iCloud, etc. Some people don't want to pay a monthly fee to store their photos or don't want to risk losing something with sentimen

The point of Immich is self hosting. Using AWS defeats that purpose

At this point, can you tell me one non corrupt government? At least they are doing stuff for the people

At least with ISPs you are paying for the infrastructure and the connection to your house. Cloudfare has been like a silent Trojan that was added as a layer everywhere
155.
by gonzalohm 4mo ago
You are right, but that's mostly a US problem. When I lived in Europe I was able to pick from a list of at least 10 providers. I'm not sure how it works, but I think there is a law saying that the ISP that laid the optic fiber cab

It's funny that Cloudfare presents themselves as the protector of the web when they are the gateway to it. We are one bad CEO away from having a system of "pay a subscription to browse the Internet"

What about PC gaming? There are stores that sell you the game and it's yours to keep

Energy savings, freeing up resources, allowing to apply security updates, reducing strain on battery, giving you a clean start after booting, closing network connections, etc.

Steve Mould has a great video explaining the mechanism in epi pens

I agree that it's an interesting architecture, but I'm not sure how it would work in a highly controlled server. If you can't connect from your Mac, then I doubt they will allow an agent to make requests from the server

I think it's safe to say that computing should be mostly deterministic. I know compilers use heuristics that are stochastic, but come on. Imagine if you were given a layer of abstraction that randomly flipped bits from time to time...

Is it worse than the companies that built the agent and gave no credit for the data they used?

by gonzalohm 4mo ago
The point is not raising red flags I guess

I think my point is that minimizing the process doesn't free the ram it's using. Closing it, even if it stays running in the background, should free up resources

What can possibly require a laptop to be up for months? I have a Linux server that can run for years without needing a reboot. But my laptop I just shut it down after my work is done

What's the point of sleeping your computer? If you are not using it then it's better to just turn it off
167.
by gonzalohm 4mo ago
I don't have any data to prove it but I think Mac users don't bother "cleaning up" after they are done with their computers. I think windows and Linux users usually shut down their laptops when they are done. I believe t

People may adjust their eating times or leisure activities, but work is 9 to 5. It's amazing to have almost 5 hours of sunlight after work

So if I sample a guitar because I don't know how to play the guitar, is the tool I used to sample it "an oracle"?

Those are my thoughts too. I believe there was a world cup or euro cup during the 2008 crisis, which Spain suffered specially badly. All countries were getting out of the "hole" except Spain, but hey we won the euro cup so suddenl

It's a wide street and they installed a screen. I guess that's not something that you can set-up for every match so they decided to leave it up the whole time. The problem I have with it is not that my street was closed. It's

In the US there is lobbying. In Spain there is soccer. I have seen crazy things done just for soccer. The town I used to live in closed my street for a few weeks during one world cup. I wasn't able to use my garage during all that time

Why is that? And who draws the line? If I use a synthesizer to generate music, does that count as AI generated?
174.
by gonzalohm 4mo ago
At this point, for me it's equally scary that the US government can do that. If I can't control the firmware then I don't really care for which government my car is spying for. It's all bad

Isn't that the market strategy of silicon valley companies? Sell at a loss, capture the whole market and then inflate prices

Do I need the most intelligent model to generate boilerplate code, which is my main usage for AI? Resounding No. For my use case a model from a year ago is good enough
177.
by gonzalohm 4mo ago
So we just bend down then?
178.
by gonzalohm 4mo ago
Yeah, this is the classic silicon valley strategy of selling at a loss and then once they have captured the market inflate prices. See Uber, Netflix, etc.

How is it not related? You are saying that we have massive powerful devices (smartphones) that can take over personal computing. I'm telling you that for you to be able to do "personal computing" you need a device that you ow

Because of lobbying. That's usually the answer when policies don't make sense
