I don't know what you consider to be safe, but I assume you're talking about privacy and data retention.

You can pay someone like Ollama, which is US-based, which runs those models in their cloud. You can also download many/most of the models to run them locally on your own computer, although the performance depends entirely on your hardware capabilities.

Ollama has their own policies about privacy and data retention here:

That's just one third-party doing this, and there are many others.

The optics don't look good for Microsoft, but we don't know their side of the story.

Same.

I left a really good job for a year, to go work for a company CEO'd by a buddy of mine. I had a bad, sinking feeling in my gut from the very beginning when In interviewed with my new boss (not my buddy). Sure enough, I fucking hated working for him, and quit after a year.

When I was leaving my old job, I remember rationalizing it to myself that I would regret not doing it if I didn't try. I have mixed feelings about that job -- not necessarily regret for taking it, but definitely some regrets for how things went down at the end.

With that being said, if I had turned down that job, I don't know if I would regret it now or not. Who's to say?

Anyway, I got my old job back, and lasted there for several more years. It's still the best place I ever worked.

I remember having this interview with an HR person several years ago (like in the early 2010s) where she asked me all these vague, difficult to answer questions. None of them were technical, and I can't remember a single one of them now, but they reminded me of the vague questions we get from various IT audits.

I can confirm this. Our Model 3 doesn't charge as fast using a NEMA 14-50 plug connected via the Tesla-provided mobile charger.

When we moved to a new house, we bought a Tesla wall charger, and it indeed charges at higher amps, but I don't know if the extra speed has necessarily been worth it since we primarily charge the car overnight.

Since when was there ever a plan to disable IPv4 on the Internet? Just because IPv6 is around doesn't mean that IPv4 is going to go away.

I feel dumb. I've never heard of Antigravity until now.

BatMUD is the one I played a long time ago, and has been around for 35 years now. I honestly don't know how active it is these days.

During the Summer of 1997, I stayed at my university and had a job at the computer lab in the basement of the library. We had four Windows 95 PCs, four Mac Quadras, and then tons of VT terminals. I specifically remember the one at the lab assistants desk being a VT-320. Anyway, it was enough for me to telnet to BatMUD. I got all the way up to level 32 or so (and made some friends!) before I stopped playing. Man, that was a great Summer. Well ... it was great until I got cheated on but that's a whole other story. :-p

I just went to the site and started watching a video -- seems to be working for me, at least. YMMV

Looks like a bug that I hope someone will have a fun time fixing.

Which constitution would that be, again?

Maybe? Maybe not? It depends on the nature of the outage and how motivated their customers are to switch over to a new service.

Yes, CrossOver (which is mentioned in the article) works on Apple Silicon.

I still have my Windows 95 installation floppies. It was a phenomenal operating system at the time, but I don't miss it one bit.
