Exactly that.

Even w/ memory feature OFF. It's easy to miss PI leaked into piles of HTML/CSS/JS code.

Brief: looking for a well balanced laptop well running Linux and easily capable of local inference for small LLM-s, image generation, etc. It will be used standalone so quality dis…

I am looking for a Python library that generalizes over popular LLM API-s without sacrificing full control (need to use tools, control temp, seed, top-p etc). Simon Willison llm se…

But there is: https://umbrel.com/ (except for hosting email which is not realistic anymore).

They keep saying "monolith".

On the contrary, it is so much easier to upgrade a small app every week or so because you have little to test and probability of breaking changes affecting you is minimal. You shou…

Not saying it necessarily will fall apart but there is a possibility. UK is already out. Hungary and Poland are very nasty EU members for lack of a better term. The tension is grow…

Anything else individual to be replaced by communal? Like, maybe, everything? Or just the cars? There are countries already implementing what you believe is right. Please emigrate …

I struggle with the very same problem. Even connecting a real physical SIM won't protect accounts from suspension. This is crazy because it isn't based on behavior on the platform …

Because the 21m hard cap and change resistance are the definition of Bitcoin. If these are taken away for any reason, the result would be indistinguishable from shitcoins.

> Whther it's likely or not is beside the point. It's possible in theory, therefore (and this is my main point here) the digital scarcity of bitcoin is not some emergent mathematic…

Fractional reserve is already a thing and will only increase from here. Bitcoin's scarcity relates to the base money supply and obviously cannot coerce the higher economic layers. …

It's much more than exchanges and miners as exemplified by the 2017 block size war, won by the users. The scenario you are describing - while possible in principle - is unlikely. S…

You are incorrect. The miner does not intermediate transactions in any way, shape or form. Firstly, miners do not technically intermediate transactions. Transactions are fixed and …

I already had communism and state-owned housing in my country, so no thanks! Never again. You are welcome to move to a state-managed economies though.

You nailed it.
