After seeing that the public was willing to call DeepSeek “open source” for releasing 800 lines of Python, an opaque model, and a PDF vaguely describing (or just praising) the proprietary training framework… Yeah, I imagine he feels like he missed an opportunity.
Another day, another speculative execution attack
Also, half of the gains in recent years have been in energy efficiency, not just speed.
So if the idea is to do more with less, you don’t wanna rely on old power-hungry designs.
Did not expect “Linux users” to be this early in the stanzas of “First they came for the […]”
It’s as real as a word is.

One where you can use any server and client you wish, as long as it implements the same freely-available spec. You can probably access the source code of the server and client you’re using.
As with many things: the problem is not the technology itself, but the terms that capital owners demand we accept in order to use it.
I suppose you’re right. It’s just another tool for helping you abide by immutable practices without forcing immutability as an unbreakable rule.
NixOS is kinda the best of both worlds, because it does everything in a way that is compatible with an immutable fs, but it doesn’t force you into abiding by immutability yourself.
You can always opt into immutability by using Impermanence, but I’ve never seen any reason to.
Edit: That said, the syntax has a steep learning curve and there are tons of annoying edge cases that spawn out of the measures it takes to properly isolate things. It can be a lot to micromanage, so if you’d rather just use your system more than tinker with it, it may not be a good fit.
Oh hey, good reminder. The one upside to the fact that my FB account continually revived itself while I was using my Quest 2 is that now I can delete my account (for the last time, I hope) as part of a widespread protest instead of a one-off annoyance.
Oh hey, this same quote is relevant yet again:
In other words, an AI-supported radiologist should spend exactly the same amount of time considering your X-ray, and then see if the AI agrees with their judgment, and, if not, they should take a closer look. AI should make radiology more expensive, in order to make it more accurate.
But that’s not the AI business model. AI pitchmen are explicit on this score: The purpose of AI, the source of its value, is its capacity to increase productivity, which is to say, it should allow workers to do more, which will allow their bosses to fire some of them, or get each one to do more work in the same time, or both. The entire investor case for AI is “companies will buy our products so they can do more with less.” It’s not “business customers will buy our products so their products will cost more to make, but will be of higher quality.”
They just use the inspect tool to edit your balance client side
I think you’re thinking of scenarios where you’re on a call with the scammer and they’ve remoted into your machine.
Tim Harford mentioned this in his 2016 book “Messy”.
They just wanna call it AI and make it sound like some mysterious intelligence we can’t comprehend.
Oh shit. New Freya dropped?! On AI?!?!?!
Anything she uploads is well worth an hour or two of my time.
Meh. TechDirt is great for privacy stuff, but market analysis isn’t their wheelhouse.
I think Vision Pro pretty much accomplished what Apple wanted from it.
Tech press kept comparing it to “the iPhone moment”, but that’s ridiculous. It’s a dev kit.
A dev kit with the best hardware, at a lower price than the second-best, and a more mature OS than anything else out there.
We’ll have to see how it evolves from here, but it’s a perfectly fine first step. Not everything is for you.
ITT:
People saying “They already use every other bit of data they can access, why do you naive optimists think they wouldn’t use the most obvious one?”

People saying “They already use every other bit of data they can access, why do you naive optimists think they would need to use the most expensive one?”
Reflecting on my previous experience with Reddit, Lemmy passes this test with flying colors.
On Reddit, I felt like I was gasping for air while being trampled by an army of trolls and dodging endless sponsored/astroturfed content. Lemmy feels like everyone is genuine. We might not all agree on the details, but I feel like we share 99% of the same basic moral framework and we’re trying to be good.
I do worry that it’s just because of its niche status and the barriers to entry. If Lemmy really pops off, it might be like the September that never ended.
