Same here. Modern 32 gb machine from work is a slog. 2 minutes from wake to actually working, can be 10 seconds just to use the start menu sometimes. Older thinkpad with 16gb and linux/cosmic desktop - wakes almost instantly and perfectly snappy for most things.
Corporate AI criticism always ends up being AI boosterism. This is just a way to laugh at “early” AI’s mistakes while implying that it will get good any day now.
It’s not like it NEEDS it for anything.
I see this take online a lot, but in person, everywhere I go people play netflix and whatever directly on their TV. I think there might just be a huge divide in perspective between those with and without game consoles of some sort always connected to their TV.
This absolutely. Anyone who actually wants open registration will be configuring their own SSO or whatever backend. The default should be safe for testing and/or hobbyists.
While good, network security isnt the issue. Its running a web service with open registration allowing randos to upload content that gets processed by the server.
Throw this up on a dedicated $5 VPS and you still have a problem. The default should be manual registration by admins.
Unless a sentence like this uses the word “all” you should default to “some” as the implied qualifier. As in, not “all six future earners are in survival mode, but “some six figure earners are in survival mode.” Even that would have been shocking years ago, but nowadays, a family with a single earner bringing in 100,000 can very much be struggling to make ends meet in a high COL city.
Restic is great, and the de-duplication between snapshots is amazingly good. Same content in different files (e.g. tar files of linux systems) take very little space like magic). Backrest is a nice web frontend for it.
Note that you should use some retention features of your provider to manage the risk of ransomware deleting your backups.
Usually these models are trained on past data, and then applied going forward. So whatever bias was in the past data will be used as a predictive variable. There are plenty of facial feature characteristics that correlate with race, and when the model picks those because the past data is racially biased (because of over-policing, lack of opportunity, poverty, etc), they will be in the model. Guaranteed. These models absolutely do not care that correlation != causation. They are correlation machines.
I cant imagine a model being trained like this /not/ end up encoding a bunch of features that correlate with race. It will find the white people, then reward its self as the group does statistically better.
That’s not the biggest disadvantage “if used properly.” Any account you have should get a passkey on every device you own. Each device has it’s own passkey system. If you have an iPhone, yeah, you get an apple passkey, but then if you have a windows laptop, you have a microsoft passkey, a FLOSS system will have it’s own, and so on. You are already on whatever system would contain the passkey and can easily add different ones each time you get a new device.
The biggest issue is that most people use a small number of devices (including many who use 1). Passkeys work best if you have many devices, so if you lose one, you just use another to access your services. If you have 1, you need to use recovery codes (and people don’t save them).
How many good passwords can you memorize? I can maintain 2-3 in my head long term, especially if only used rarely, and you can be phished if you are typing it in. Not tenable for online accounts. The only real comparison with security parity is a password manager + 2fa generated on-device, compared with passkeys. In both cases, you have “strong” password, no re-use, resiliency to fishing, and requires both “something you know and something you have.” I think a password manager is slightly more usable, but I’m not convinced either is a “good” experience yet.
Yes. Because targeted advertising is just selling something in it’s self. It was always a scam, but the mark os businesses that buy into the idea.
I see that cosmos advertises running your apps on a vpn built-in. That might be worth looking into. When I switched to self-hosting everything on my “tailnet” and closed incoming ports, a lot of the nice features of Yunohost for maintaining DNS and certs for the various apps stopped being that useful. In this day and age, I think being able to self-host and experiment within a safe VPN environment instead of on the open internet is the way to go.
Hot take: For personal use, I see no value at all in “availability,” only data preservation. If a drive fails catastrophically and I lose a day waiting for a restore from backups, no one is going to fire me. No one is going to be held up in their job. It’s not enterprise.
However, redundancy doesn’t save you when a file is deleted, corrupted, ransom-wared or whatever. Your raid mirror will just copy the problem instantly. Snapshots and 3,2,1 backups are what are important to me because when personal data is lost, it’s lost forever.
I really do think a lot of hobbyists need to focus less on highly available redundancy and more on real backups. Both time and money are better spent on that.
Do you have a recommendation for consumer-priced outdoor cameras/doorbells? Seems like a minefield.
The ICC is one of those orgs where not having their data sitting on silicon valley servers is a big friggin’ deal, and they should have probably thought of that years ago.
a) the wording makes it legally ambiguous what exactly would constitute violating the text. If it just said “comply with anti-discrimination laws,” that would be one thing.
b) It applies to the whole organization, not just the group accepting and applying the grant, making it very challenging to meet the requirement.
c) Unlike just about any other grant, the funds can be clawed back in the future if something was violated. This is not normal for a grant, and puts the entire organization’s existence in jeopardy if they suddenly find themselves owing millions of dollars that had already been spent.
It’s very likely their legal council told them under no circumstances should they accept the terms.
They also don’t care he just took a wrecking ball to part of the White House. They don’t care that he has crashed the economy or broken the government. They are coward sycophants.
The software distro was intended for any type of ham radio, so it does ft8 and just about everything else. Not intended for just V/UHF. Im guessing the author just name-dropped the one mode that people have heard of.
Im really surprised Microsoft hasn’t already come out with a chrome-os like neutered version of windows specifically for this.
