Russia and China entered into a defense cooperative with Iran without any requirement to go to war on the others’ behalf so it’s likely Russia and china supplying intelligence to Iran.

Why are all these pills shaped like suppositories

To be fair K8s was created by the Borg creators as a public version of Borg.

There have been studies that report the same thing: using an AI for too long actively makes you dumber.

The program I use with WINE requires network access to authenticate and because it was for audio production, it had access to my filesystem for samples.

Ten bucks says you downloaded a compromised VST.

There’s a concern if the infrastructure hosting OSM’s services are degraded because of bot traffic

Hopefully this episode gives the Danish government reason enough to get away from American owned tech.

The irony of this being about the apple and Google app stores is palpable.

If it quacks like a duck, it’s a duck-like

It’s kind of wild to criticize people for not providing the conversation prompt logs they had with LLMs and then publish code on GitHub generated by an LLM without publishing their own LLM conversation log.

“Infini-attention” isn’t perfect memory, it’s highly compressed representations of the entire history. (https://arxiv.org/html/2404.07143v1).

Much like quantization. The longer the context gets the worse the compression makes recall.

Recent comments by the new Japanese PM stating that an invasion of Taiwan may trigger an “existential crisis” for Japan that would allow them to deploy self defense forces to defend Taiwan.

It’s created a gigantic diplomatic and economic fight between Japan and China.

Even if you assume human nature is greed, it’s also human nature to have their babies eaten by wolves but I don’t see anyone suggesting we should center our society on baby tossin’ wolf pits.

It’s creating a snowball effect in Japan, as schools, daycares and kindergartens close down it’s getting harder and harder to find people to watch kids when people need to work. Most daycares have waiting list and point systems determining how much “need” a set of parents have for daycare because there’s not enough of them.

They’re both “immutable” in the sense that they’re setting up either read-only Filesystem Hierarchies (as in bazzite, which uses ostree) or Symlinking their entire filesystem hierarchy to a read-only “store” (as in nixos).

Bazzite uses something called ostree to “diff” the filesystem hierarchy much like git does, while Nix basically makes giant read-only store of files and hashes them, then weaves them all together into a “view” of a filesystem that gets symlinked into the context of a running program.
