My understanding is that Net Neutrality is not the same as privacy. The first is concerned with providers not discriminating against the data being sent/received. The second is about tracking all the data that is being sent/received (and more).
Very interesting video, I had no idea the level of redundancy built into QR codes. Thanks!
LLMs can also be helpful when your actual feelings should NOT be conveyed. For example, I can have a genuine response to someone along the lines of, “You are dumb for so many reasons, here are just a few of them that show you are out of touch with what our product can do, and frankly with reality itself. {Enumerated list with copious amounts of cursing and belittling}” Ok LLM, rewrite that message using professional office language because I emotionally refuse to.
When a car crashes, there’s usually a magnitude less people impacted then when a plane crashes. But you know what? Air travel is still much, much safer than car travel. Large but infrequent incidents can be much less dangerous than smaller but more common incidents in the aggregate.
There is an art to it - picking away strategically for maximum feels-good relief. Bonus if you get it off in one piece using tiny scritches over a long period of time.
Targets: the Dirty Dozen
Getting to experience improved mental health thanks to having a private quiet place you can think and relax? What a weirdo… (That sounds amazing, I’ll take two!)
Beautiful take on the Arrogant Worms classic! <3
Exactly! If you only want to use a Large Language Model (LLM) to run your own local chatbot, then using a quantized version will dramatically improve speed and performance. It also allows consumer hardware to run larger models which would otherwise be prohibitively resource intensive.
You can, and it’s easier than you might think! Check out a platform like Oobabooga and find a nice 4-bit quantized LLM of a flavor you prefer. Check out TheBloke on hugging face, they quantized a ton of great LLMs.
ICQ… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I used to use the crap out of that service, but I can’t for the life of me recall what killed it anymore than I can recall migrating from AIM.

Merry solstice!
I respectfully disagree - it’s very easy to contract comment threads you have no interest in (at least on my client if I long-press a comment, it hides the comment and all responses), but I sometimes enjoy reading through an actual discussion two or three people have in a comment chain. They may be few and far between, but that’s the nature of an open forum.
Don’t forget the “fix” Sony offered after they were initally caught was an even MORE invasive rootkit. 🫠
It’s no surprise that anyone with enough intelligence to have the clearance to handle this case wouldn’t want anything to do with it. The writing is on the wall (and in the ballroom, in the bathroom, in the poolhouse…)
It’s not specifically what you are requesting, but your comment reminds me how much I enjoy Fallout Radio. Great songs interspersed with fictional hosts discussing all manner of things. It’s just so nice to haveusic broken up with a little bit of banter.
One of the greatest examples of the work and detail that went into the recent Fallout London mod are the custom radio stations with their fun hosts.
