Sorry, I can't say. I always stayed near the water for work as a dive master or ESL teacher, so I never made it to Laos.

Spent significant time in Vietnam & Cambodia & Thailand. Cambodia is a sad country full of desperate people. "less-policed" is the entire country. ~50 years since https://en.wikipe…

Might happen. I told my entire family I would not support their windows installs past 10 and 11 is full of spyware. Half bought a mac and half opted to install Linux. IF all you wa…

It isn't just the $ savings. It is indentured servitude. I have more than one friend that quit the day they got their green card.

This exactly, having ran very large scraping operations, it only takes a slight increase in cost to make it unprofitable for many use cases.

Better suited for discouraging scraping. 2 cents * 300 scrapes = $6 although 2 cents is huge over estimation and you would probably not show this every time. Only when there is unu…

Great search engine. I use it daily via SearXNG and an API key. Maintainer is very friendly.

easy to do when you don't ship any cards :P

What did you have nothing but TBills, TIPS? Not quite sure what you have where you could just sell them. But, ya, bit silly as your money is still in USD. Nothing is happening to U…

Yes, there was a big one for FF in Oct https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-9680

I am not GPU poor and don't care about speed. I care about how good the model is which is much harder to measure and much harder to do. I have not seen many independent reviews. Th…

Where is the source code for the extension itself?

I like yours better. I can't even find the source for Mozilla's and yours does not have google analytics.

So much spam around this model. LocalLLaMA is stuffed with spam posts and even hacker news is getting spammed. Who has actually ran this model and verified performance? Does anyone…

Kroger is 7.3% & Albertsons is 4.5% according to GlobalData. Varies a little by source but that is approx correct. But that misses the consumer picture, grocery is very regional an…

This is great news! I live near Kroger HQ and have been following the case closely Both of these companies are in the S&P 500 and have plenty of negation power with suppliers witho…

I'm excited to test the final model. This could be a major breakthrough for open-source LLMs.

It reminds me of encryption in 90s in the US. Motivation is different but I could see outcome being similar, driving development out of Europe. Interesting history read IMO: https:…

I don't think so. People will just follow personalities not aggregators. I can go buy a Neal Stephenson and know it is not spam. I can watch Cody'sLab and no it is not spam. By the…

45mi drive to work so 90 round trip. There is no way to charge there. Most weeks will be 4 days 90 miles (WFH Friday). So, less than 60% but similar ballpark. Circuit breaker is in…

Running it through a calculator, I am getting 24 hours on a standard 120V 15AMP socket. from 20% to 80% on a Model 3 2024 Tesla. I am using calc at https://evadept.com/calc/ev-char…

No? They did this on Linux too. https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/21/crowdstrike_linux_cra...
