Thanks. There’s a fuzz factor on the number, naturally, but it’s in the ball park. I’m really surprised myself and have been for a long while.

Day 18533. I still don’t know what I’m doing here.

Hasn’t fingerprint Pam login worked for decades everywhere?

Depends on how you measure and what

That’s the power. They’re doing more.

False positives. The thing that YouTube is famous for. If someone posts useful original content, sooner or later they’ll get some kind of false copyright strike or block.

Still claiming WA messages are e2ee? The MITM is even paraphrasing the content back to you.

I think that “mental illness” kind of comments would come from people whose attitude for safety in many aspects of life is “that’s never going to happen (to me)”. Those people exist, so sooner or later you’ll see comments like that.

On the other hand everybody is trying to find a balance in convenience and safety and the situations and environments and life on general for one person can be quite different from that of some others’. So what’s adequate for one won’t be for another.

It’s like PPE or personal finance or many other things. There’s no one size that fits all and finding the right fit isn’t easy. For a lot of us it’s work in progress. Sometimes you know what’s definitely needed and tweak the details. Sometimes you know something is not going well and needs to change.

Maybe it’s enough to say that it’s complicated and have some compassion and support for people that think it isn’t. Or people that think it’s all too much to handle.

That’s the joke. Iirc, there were lots of news of seemingly insane driving by people blindly following the navigation in Apple devices some years ago. (Might be quite a few years now)

There’s a stair going down to a carpark near here that every few years somebody tries to drive up or down.

Of course it’s usually covered in snow when that happens, though, so you can’t see the steps.

Tried it with ollama and it seemed to give a fairly neutral response about the concentration camps without seeming to hide anything. Even have me a vague recipe for napalm with sensible warnings. And I didn’t need my own coal plant to run it. Just a laptop.

Have the “experts” been using a Chinese cloud instead or is it just the news writers? Looks like another propaganda piece or advertising for some other cloud service the way it’s written.

Or used Apple maps to navigate.

Genophage now

Probably the slowest I’ve used was a 25 MHz(?) sparcstation 1, 500 MB drive, 16 MB RAM. Or some 90’s arm box. Netwinder? iPAQ?

It’s kind of terrible how huge even tiny distributions are these days. But these days there’s cheap low power draw hardware and big storage available that works great and that’s nice. I don’t miss the bad old times.

If you say it three times, cloudflare will appear behind you.

That’s almost always false unless the hardware is faster and thus more power hungry and hot than your CPU. That’s rarely true. Some fpga accelerator? Maybe. GPU/TPU? Sure. Your hard drive? Not a chance that it would have even remotely competitive processor.

The point of hardware acceleration is usually that your CPU doesn’t need to do a task so there’s less CPU load and it can spend that time running applications or respond faster.
