    Isn't that just like Binoxxo? I've solved Binoxxo's every time I came across a newspaper. Online example for the curious: https://raetselwelt.online/en/puzzles/binoxxo/

    That tracks. As a teacher I sometimes find myself conversing with multiple kids simultaniously as well. If it's nothing too deep that requires full focus, it works. (Though I do fi…

    Too assymetric IMO. I have no problems winning with hounds even on hard, but I have no chance of winning except against easy.

    Only side effect I ran into is that journalctl couldn't find the logs of a previous boot.

    I don't work in tech (school teacher), so the main way I interact with tech people is online. IME, everyone I meet offline has some low-level caution about AI taking their job, but…

    Painting something new with great potential as negative and "the enemy" - this is truly the essence of humanity. If the parent commenter enjoys working with LLMs, then just let the…

    Ollama is just llama.cpp but with their own interface ontop. Liquid does support llama.cpp, but Ollama is slow in updating its llama.cpp dependency.

    Wait what? I've used DeepSeek V4 flash a lot and compsred to Gemma 4 E2B (ie. the smallest, event at q4), it consistently underperforms. In contrast to DS flash, I've found Gemma 4…

    Somewhat. To fill out my taxes online, I could sign up with either the AGOV app (needs Google Android) or a USB security key. I happened to have a yubikey, but I needed to mess wit…

    No, there's a misunderstanding. You can extract the message the user entered/received BEFORE/AFTER the en-/decryption. eg. a keylogger, a screencapture, extracting memory from the …

    Well IF Microsoft would also collaborate with Wine... I think I'd pay for a Windows License if it means I get official support for Windows apps on Linux (provided the support is in…

    I think it is different for some people because they are passionate and interested in tech. I'd imagine someone who is passionate about cooking wouldn't be delighted if you cloudn'…
