“Users verify cryptographic proofs to ensure that servers behave properly.”

If this is one of the defining tenets of this data system, is it not DOA? See also: the PGP key-signing parties that never were…

I’m in the same boat. Am trying to figure out how to configure Vinyl cache (née Varnish) in my home lab.

The text says that it uses OS-level tools, specifically bubble wrap on Linux.

Right, this is roughly my mental situation, too. I guess that streaming JSON things can eat up compute way faster than I had any intuition for!

This is a helpful breakdown, thanks, @otterley.

It is, by orders of magnitude, larger than any deployment that I have been a part of in my work experience, as a 10-year data scientist/Python developer.

> This was costing us ~$300K/year in compute, and the number kept growing as more customers and detection rules were added.

Maybe I’m out of touch, but I cannot fathom this level of cost for custom lambda functions operating on JSON objects.

Is it incontrovertibly built in to macOS? I have an iPhone and have never enabled it or Siri, so maybe there is similar off switch for macOS.

The AirPods Max 2 are primarily Bluetooth headphones, but support lossless audio over USB-C cable, for what it’s worth.

No, the ultimate beneficiary of LLM-created code is the toll collectors who stole as much intellectual property as they could (and continue to do so), fleecing everyone else that they are Promethean for having done so and for continuing to do so.

How do you manage this? Just copy the stream URL from Jellyfin Web or…?

This is why I still prefer Signal; this practice seems to be their modus operandi even though they, too, were affected by AWS us-east-1 catastrophe

I am really only familiar with Python, in which I’m pretty sure that the .py becomes .pyc and then CPython translates .pyc into machine instructions.

How does this differ? Is an IR the same idea as Python’s .pyc?

What is the name of Maltese in Maltese? Like “el español” in Spanish, it’s neat to know what languages call themselves

I’m in the same boat, and what tipped me there is the ethical non-starter that OpenAI and Anthropic represent. They strip-mined the Web, ripped off copyrighted works in neat space, admitting that going through the proper channels was a waste of business resources.

They believe that the entirety of human ingenuity should be theirs at no cost, and then they have the audacity to SELL their ill-gotten collation of that knowledge back to you? All the while persuading world governments that their technology is the new operating system of the 21st century.

Give me a dystopian break, honestly.

I like the `VARIANTS` env. var [0] to take advantage of x86_64 newer extensions if one’s processor has them.

CachyOS is a whole distro compiled with these flags, if possible, which is appealing.
