That's helpful if they live in the same country, can figure out who the 4chan poster was, the police are interested (or you want to risk paying a lawyer), you're willing to sink the time pursuing such action (and if criminal, risk

Your IP address is hashed when you connect and then a large part of it is lopped off. The part that isn't lopped off is used for ID. There is collision risk; definitely use alternatives if not comfortable with that -- it was made for a

Yes, that very likely would be a run-ender for me, and make me dependent on family and gov't assistance (which is fine; which is something I've planned and plan for; but obviously it'd be nice to not be bankrupt and mooching

It's a lottery either way, I think. I can pay $20k/year for health insurance and limit to $20k/year in expenses (or w/e current annual limit is), or I can save the $20k/year and put it into an unencumbered investmen

Since a year or two before the individual mandate ended (it was worth the fee), I dropped health insurance and self-pay for self and family; I pay now in a year for actual service what I paid in a month in premiums, mostly to dentist, witho

I've definitely been surprised by how it's being used; it's replacing people in places I don't think (even as a closet AI/LLM enthusiast) AI should ever be used: elder care, customer support (even on phone lines), f

I use PWAs for my home websites (things like calendars and thermostat) running on tablets. They're a bit awkward, or I'm just ignorant of The Correct Way. I have to set metadata in a file for some reason I don't understand (m

As someone who went through a prepper episode in youth, I think this is worth underlining. I have a large digital archive of books and trade magazines, everything from bank industry primers for the oil industry to sewing patterns and "

Now I'm curious whether or not this is true. I'm much more likely to be killed or assaulted by friends or family than by a random person, and if I'm being killed by someone, the most likely killer by far is also the person th

I'm banking on Space Emperor Elon. If he can form a Musk Sphere around Mars, he should be able to generate enough energy to push Deimos into Earth reasonably fast. Of course, he doesn't have to actually do it. Instead, he could ex

I was pretty pleased to see a news article on the x86/x86-64 emulator for RISC-V, felix86, recently, where they've had success running Steam and playing relatively complicated 3D games using a PCIe graphics card. Dealing with MCUs

They may eventually learn the valuable skill of politely smiling and nodding as someone talks with great passion about things with zero relevance to their day-to-day life, assuming they don't shut up about it at home. Actually, tbf, my

As a user, I'd make that argument for sure. The casual user simply wants the least friction, Microsoft doesn't care, and the FOSS developer space just has to live in this environment. As part of a broader argument to develop for a

It makes sense for short shots, I guess; think a kind of "slideshow of videos"; maybe scene-setting landscape pans, but then you need your production to conform to whatever the AI generates, because it won't conform to what y

out of curiosity, is anyone here using AI in embedded with experiences to share? I see NPUs and the like popping up more on credit card and buildroot SBCs I get, but with zero documentation or sample scripts for them.

the big reason I upgrade GPUs these days is for more VRAM for LLMs and diffusion models. I don't care (or need to care, really) as much about gaming -- along with great Proton support, running things from a midrange Linux-based gaming

I didn't intend to say "do your own thing" to mean "make no effort to generate any earned income." You could instead slow down and take on a la carte freelance/contract work. -Or you could take a risk for a cou

It can be a pretty a serious and offensive accusation for sure. When a dev voices their own characters in a game and has a flat affect and/or stilted speech pattern, it's inevitable to be called AI by someone. Art I don't und
