It needs to work and be reliable, else it becomes something like YaCy, that doesn't work that well. Well, Mastodon and Lemmy work fine, so that's a first step.

Yes, and there are people who already worked on terminal screens using RISC-V. But any compatibility advancement is already an advancement for backtracking how those systems work. Therefore, an advancement in Open Hardware. If we can use those systems more efficiently, it's all the better.

I think this kind of work is a good step towards Open Hardware.

Well, it is a little weird that Tor was originally a military technology funded by the US Department of Defense. Also, privacy in these days is really hard to achieve.

It's cute, like a version of the tardigrade.

I have worked with somewhat large codebases before using LLMs. You can ask the LLM to point a specific problem and give it the context. I honestly don't see myself as capable without a LLM. And it is a good teacher. I learn much from using LLMs. No free advertisement for any of the suppliers here, but they are just useful.

You get access to information you can't find on any place of the Web. There is a large structural bad reaction to it, but it is useful.

(Edit) Also, I would like to add that people who said that questions won't be asked anymore seemingly never tried getting answers online in a discussion forum - people are viciously ill-tempered when answering.

With a LLM, you can just bother it endlessly and learn more about the world while you do it.

Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That's why I stopped using it.

I think the only imminent risk of AI is enabling millions of minds to do their will.

Hot stuff. I got to say, YouTube has some pretty interesting things.

I stand by the indie studios. We have proof again and again that indies just want to reach their public.

We have to accept that there is a way to break the capacity of pirating, which has been tolerated by companies by decades. VPNs can be banned, the US defense department deeply knows about Tor. So, if there is political incentive, those capacities can be banned at any time.

I think the fight needs to be a legal one. It needed to be a legal one since the inception of piracy. It just has its flaws that can be exploited by politically invested institutions.

That is so true. If Steam goes away, so does all of my games. I should have the right to have a local setup binary on my computer, like GOG.

 

Today I had to downgrade fastapi from 0.114.0 to 0.112.4 to make a software work. And it just hit me - what if pip didn't support 0.112.4 anymore? We would lose a good piece of software just because of that.

Of course, we can "freeze" the packages into an executable that will run for as long as the OS supports it. Which is a lot longer. But the executable is closed source. We can't see the code that is run from an executable.

Therefore, there is a need for an alternative to which we still have access to the packages even after the program is built. That would make it safely unnecessary for pip to store all versions of all packages forever more.

Any ideas?

 

Last week I posted about the magic qualities of quantum systems in Computer Science. Now I bring an example article that makes use of it.

Why, instead of safely entering a BIOS setup, does the cell phone brick when installing the Custom ROM wrongly? Wouldn't this protection be better for users? I mean, this could be done through ADB.

Also, do you think it's possible that this way of doing things will come to the computer, with ARM hoping to gain a good share of the market and all?
