    Huh, almost as if the governments get something out of allowing the companies to abuse us...

    Don't worry, the arbitrary software is probably running under Intel's ME or AMD's PSP.

    If the kids are clever enough to have a second browser the parents don't know about, I'm pretty sure they'll find a way to bypass this. For example, who's stopping an older sibling…

    But in many cases, you could split it up into smaller, `inline` functions.

    On the other hand the standalone models would all need "basic" knowledge, so I'm assuming this would be much less disk space-efficient.

    How would this help against someone submitting an actual, non-compromised version bump, then adding malware once it's accepted?

    Question is if this would be thorough enough for this attack? A package with a slightly more involved build process, maybe some patches because it was made to build on a different …

    I suppose using an LLM-powered autocomplete might be something for you then? Then you can be writing the code, with the LLM doing the "boring" parts, in chunks small enough you can…

    Local/open LLMs are a thing though. You can build a server for hosting decent sized (100-200B) models at home for a few k$. They may not be Opus-level, but hopefully we can get som…

    The 2.13 level ("hex racer") is kind of pain. Apparently I'm not fast enough at dividing/multiplying by 16... when I get something like "convert 0xB3 to decimal"

    You may wanna see if openrgb isn't able to configure the RGB. Could even do some fun stuff like changing the color once done with a training run or something

    Sad to see the quality of the content from Lumafield slowly going down. Feels like the content got less technical after they moved it from "scan of the month" to their blog, and no…

    The problem with the "your life objectively sucks" option is when you end up too depressed to actually bother doing anything and just give up. That's another case where drugs can h…

    I don't fully agree with the "if something isn’t worth consuming at 1x, it’s not worth consuming at all" part. Sometimes you find a great video or podcast, but the person speaking …

    Neither this nor the blog post explains what this feature is actually supposed to do?

    Also interested in this, but haven't tried it myself. Apparently NSF (Nano Silver Fluoride) is more commonly in non-western countries. They have a video with some more info here: h…

    You can always put some extra protection on the external interfaces. Won't make it impossible to fry if you really do something stupid but would reduce the risk significantly.

    Roon seems great but the pricing is really steep in my opinion... Costs practically as much as a streaming service, but you still need to get your own music. At least they have a l…
