It would be about as bad, although nothing, AFAIK, actually systematically sends it as telemetry. This GDID is essentially a similar concept though, but not as hardware tied, but i…

FWIW, YogaDNS stops these bypasses if you tick a settings box ("Block plain DNS over TCP from System Resolver"). Or use similar DNS forcing techniques against port 53. Windows fall…

Indeed, I think this is the correct take. If they'd done their VPN/dirty work in a linux VM/container, with the VPN running in that, they'd have been fine. Clean-them would have ha…

They took the slavery / serf distinction seriously in the Slavic world. While the distinctions might have mattered in the 1800s, by any modern-slavery standard the serfs were slave…

FWIW I think Acemoglu writes very well & I loved his book "Why Nations Fail" for introducing lots of interesting ideas to me, while also helping me understand my own (non-failed) s…

and, as the articles points out, it is literally out of copyright. For profit journals need to die.

The earliest Roman records of Slavs are of the Veneti, who lived in roughly western Ukraine, Belarus, south-east Poland. Very much in Europe. Then, like now, they were the people e…

Ah, thanks, yeah, I just looked it up. I had no idea.

Mistral have moved to actually trying to make money, and been relatively successful; at least if we lived in a normal world. They've got a heap of contractors working to help indus…

Everytime I see people talking about the length of their coastlines ... Look at how long this edge of my fractal is, Ma!

err? afaik Bellard never had any beef with Burger Becky. Both are legendary programmers, but somewhat different eras. I have no idea what you're suggesting.

I basically was ready to come on and make a snarky comment like this. "I wrote one in the '90s!". and then I saw the examples, and the feature set. I particularly like the blender-…

how are you sourcing your proxies? the vast majority seems to be pretty unethical, and many of those that aren't overtly so, seem to not always be nice. There are decent reasons pe…

Of course it can. They can license the code for use under almost any terms they like, including restricting how you use the code. The GPL imposes conditions on your use of the code…

> The Chinese models are censored (too?). This is MUCH less of an issue if they're providing the weights though. They can still be fine-tuned & ablated.

Which is quite the contrast to Mercedes new axial flux electric motor, which goes all in on rare earths- the design relies on the highest end high-grade permanent magnets. Still, p…

I'm a Terence Tao fan, but yes, OpenAI should at the very least just be telling him to go crazy with the latest models on our dime.

I liked this article because it helped me understand the javacript engine flow better than I had. The rust flow is so much more natural to me.

I moved to the UK in 2016. The public sector, simple, no frills, accessible, no flashy graphics, websites were a massive eye-opener. They just worked. They had a job. They did it. …

Damnit. No WFH option.

Thanks very much for this- I had not seen it. It does not paint a pretty picture, and I did not know this context. Perhap the tridge I knew is also of the past, but I hope not.

But DID anything change? Of course I know that some people can just becoming psychotic out of nowhere. But why would I assume it?
