He was a sysadmin who built a system that gathered the documents. Why do you think that SQL is not capable of searching email? Also an anonymizing system already existed before 2001. The safeguards were dropped afterwards.

Did good work, but haven’t had any since the last contract ended two years ago. What would you suggest?

I don't know, the article mentions having to deal with brine. Let it evaporate in a pool and you've got plenty.

Per unit costs are pretty low, and old Intel gear particularly energy guzzling.

I did, and the original dev of the component fixed it within a few days. It was straightforward, a backwards reading of a spec, reordered. The fix is still sitting unmerged many months later. This surprised me since I thought the project w

Electronics recycling exists, plus a few dollars for the aluminum case.

In general I agree, but recycling old power hungry gear may be better for the environment in the long term.

Cable ISPs such as Spectrum sell capacity on their customers routers for such situations, including ‘smart’ appliances.

I meant catch me crossing and take photos, scans, etc.

They snap me crossing the street almost daily, nothing I can do about since sometimes they take me by surprise.

systemd-oomd works reasonably well and there is source code. Perhaps claude can help add more detailed policy support to it. Just found this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49663299

They look dead to me, not flagged. Most seem to be about tor or onion.

Yes, believe they can down weight certain topics by keywords, let’s hope they do. This doesn’t stop the posts but just flushes them more quickly.

Reading this on my 6s, and it’s still great.

I recently tried to hook up a few games and was sadly surprised they make it hard to work on a LAN, even old FOSS games push you towards internet play.

They have permission from the provider, why they are able to log in.

Looks like it has USB3 unlike the Fairphone. How does the SOC/Camera compare?

That's interesting, is it any farther ahead of the others?

My TDKs from ’96 are still fine. For stuck mechanical disks I remember a modest bump to the side with a screwdriver handle was sometimes enough to get it going.

Doing the “right thing” has come with inconvenience since time immemorial. It takes a strong personality to persevere.

They haven’t allowed a recession to happen since ~2009 when they massively inflated their way out of the worst of the last one. Learned to have the cake and eat it too. The only problem is after a few rounds of this the currency becomes wo

It's not surprising marketing for a large corporation leans toward the bland. This is not the scrappy Apple from the turn of the century.

I thought the discussion was about "frontier labs" in the cloud versus open at home. Others running open models in the cloud is a nice third alternative, but not a solution for those that need frontier models, which I believe cont

The big providers are losing on average tens of billions a year on these services, so yes prices must go up. Even Moore’s won’t help in the medium-term due to shortages and difficulty/reluctance to vastly increase capacity.
