Saw the M stands for Microsoft and immediately closed the tab. 1 it’s unnecessary - communicates nothing but look-at-me branding. 2 toxic company.
The world IS getting mass surveillance. The havens for privacy are shrinking. We are becoming the ants in the ant farm. One thing i don’t understand is how pro-surveillance advocates don’t understand that the moment…
I started with .agents/notes-and-plans/ but the agents were overzealous about putting every random thought there, so i made new system. .agents/plans/<plan-name>/ .agents/notes/<topic>/ .agents/knowledge/<topic>/ I only…
Not sure what you consider "no good" alternatives. jeanp413.open-remote-ssh[0] has worked flawlessly. It's the first or second search hit in the extension manager for "ssh". It's a fork of Microsoft's previous extension…
Wandering in a Barnes and Noble in 2007, stumbled into The Female Brain and read it cover to cover. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Female_Brain_(book) It’s a simple concept but extremely illuminating. Mostly because…
Not sure if finetune is the right word here, but their default local model seems to be an in-house fork of parakeet (?, maybe whisper) that works a bit better on tech jargon than vanilla parakeet i use in handy. Though…
I think it’s timing. So many devs trying to squeeze their subscriptions, build more tooling to throughputMaxx. 6 months ago, i speculate it launches pretty flat.
Interestingly, snake oil gets it's reputation not because it is itself ineffective, but, it was because so many counterfeiters piled in selling cheapfakes, while simultaneously inflating cure-all claims. (citation,…
I can also recommend the book Mindfuckers - a source book on the rise of acid fascism in America. Each chapter is about a different cult from the 60s and 70s including one on the Manson's. Super interesting read.
In Pampano beach FL my 76 yo mother got pulled over for driving a stolen vehicle. Luckily the police had some common sense to decipher what happened. Plate swap, same make model and color.
Bad faith argument, borderline flaggable. But I’ll bite. Do you not see any issue with mass surveillance of people’s movements? I’m an American living in Turkey at the moment. My airbnb host tells me that as a white…
I use chrome primarily when something appears broken in Firefox and i want to test if it’s a ff browser issue. Turns out it’s pretty much never a ff browser issue. Cmd+q
I’ve definitely experienced step jumps down in quality on an almost daily basis. I usually used xhigh. The experience of relying on codex’s outstandingly thorough coding earlier in the year has evaporated for me. I’m…
Contabo, an even cheaper alternative to Hetz, raised prices this month as well by 30-35% as well. Just noting it here because i couldn’t any info elsewhere.
I wonder how aws handles this in bedrock. Do they use Anthropics classifiers? Or their own? Or none? Would their data policing be different in bedrock than their other services?
How i know Masley is trash: > Jordan is suspiciously lurching to the extremely high energy end of the light spectrum when we know that the low energy end (comparable to infrasound) doesn’t have negative impacts on us if…
I’m helping a client move data from dozens of spreadsheet to an aggregate one. The elegantish solution is to use Python, each run takes about 5s and 1 cal of energy. If i hadn’t helped her write the script, she as a non…
That idea was minorly present during Clinton and Bush, by the time Obama was in office I think it was clear that was never going to happen. The book covers the period from 2016 on, so long after that neocon dream.
I don't think Cook gets enough credit for this [0] - Book: Apple in China. (Author Interview [1]) It's an undisputed damning account of how Cook was used by China to train millions of Chinese electronics manufacturers,…
Cute. That is the commenter’s whole point about monopolies. Google is on record making their product worse to squeeze revenue. We’ve been living in the enshitification economy.
Agreed! not having a dedicated voice message button is the one feature holding me back
I thought i had tried this but no it’s a massively crowded app name. I’ll check this out soon, but honestly this one has been great. https://github.com/Starmel/OpenSuperWhisper Though it seems like the dev stopped work…
Despite Trump being a huge footgun for the economy and middle class prosperity and general stability, I listen to the work ofPeter Zeihan on macro economic and geopolitical analyses. He has a YouTube channel and was…
I'm very pleased that it seems like there is a real movement happening in the self-hosted space. I've been self-hosting for about 6 months and actually started with umbrel because the UI looks so polished, which is…
I hope this news travels to more gen pop. My 82yo MIL uses Firefox because she’s concerned about the acceleratingly encroaching “police state”. That being said as an IT manager, it’s hard to tell my employees to incur…
