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.

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 a shame Moore’s law doesn’t seem to hold anymore.

They said they can’t do that in the article:

but at the same time, we cannot ‘take over’ the application identifiers for the open-source apps we distribute, as that would effectively seize exclusive distribution rights to those applications

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.

It’s not just that, it’s also the fact they scored the responses based on user feedback, and users tend to give better feedback for more confident, even if wrong, responses.

And then when those AI also have issues do we use the AI to check the AI for the AI?

Unless revanced somehow gets the APKs resigned it will almost certainly destroy revanced.

If you’re putting in that much work, please submit those edits to musicbrainz! We need all the help we can get 😭

As a musicbrainz editor, don’t depend entirely on Picard and musicbrainz for correct tagging either cause shit isn’t as well curated as you think.

Does ollama have a graphical client now? I have always run it as a background server.

I don’t agree with a total ban, but the writers of the article downplaying the harmful content on YouTube I think have forgotten the multiple times YouTube has gotten in trouble with advertisers for shit like “elsagate” where they were showing mutilation etc. of Disney characters targeted at children.

There needed to be some kind of regulation, but an outright ban is a bit much.

This feels like they’re trying to drive a tack with a sledgehammer.
