The article said they got their arms smuggled in from the US, but that only explains the small arms and drones. Where are they getting hand grenades?

If you're using AI for narratives, you're using it wrong.

Hermes. It can be set up to delegate to OpenCode for better multitasking and context usage as well.

What do you mean by 'Setting the memory to "fast timings"'? The only runtime I can get working for my GPUs is llama.cpp, which I haven't seen anything like that in its argument set…

Hasn't been done != can't be done.

You'd take a featureless, opaque warehouse over a structure with windows and architecture that was intended to stand out? The asphalt doesn't have to be an eyesore if planned well,…

Office buildings employ considerably more people, support nearby restaurants, consume less power and water, produce virtually no infrasound, and are more attractive than data cente…

There's a much simpler reason LLMs will never be conscious: they are static. They can't learn. They have very limited, not really persistent context. Conscious organisms alter them…

I somehow doubt Halium explains the level of performance I've seen from them.

I'm surprised even those things work for you considering how unbearably slow Phosh and Linux apps are on the Furiphone with much more modern everything.

Ever tried using Linux on real mobile hardware? Phosh and updates via Flatpak are unbearably slow. I have yet to see a way to try Plasma Mobile, etc or have much of a way to custom…

That's what the Halium project does, but it would be better to have an equivalent, independent alternative.

Tell your government that selling your citizenship to foreign businesses is not OK.

Governments that require any particular device, OS, or 3rd-party platform have sold your citizenship to private interests.

If I had a car with that feature and no clear way to permanently disable it, I would take it back.

I have Furiphone and F(x)tec devices. They ought to work well as mobile Linux devices, but they very much do not. They are unbearably slow, which I attribute to poor storage I/O op…

That's something I've never encountered on Linux/KDE/Wayland/Flatpak across Debian Trixie, Arch, and Fedora. Might be worth nuking your local Zed files and trying again.

I regularly leave it open for days and never run into any copy/paste bugs in Wayland/Flatpak.

Thanks, I hate it.

Do you have any reference guides on how to perform this distillation? I have a use case for this and hardware to run it on, but have never seen how it's done.

From the outside, I don't see the problem. The sites I visit, including LWN, never seem slow or have downtime as a result of this increase in traffic. I hear complaints from people…

Everyone I've ever encountered say something like this and then switch to Android cease to have any noteworthy complaints after the first month. There's a transition period for sur…

They also block 3rd-party DNS in many cases, forcing you to use theirs so they can sell your activity more completely.

Why do online services need to know where I am? Why does my ISP need to know who I'm communicating with? For me, VPNs are about reducing privacy leakage. Most of the internet colle…

I heard a long time ago about using molten salt heated by solar mirrors for something like this, but the corrosiveness of the salt proved to be challenging. I wonder if these two t…
