Initially, I was confused where to find their open weight model offering. It's here: https://portal.neuralwatt.com

> Because the entire reason we are here is due to the fact that harms to kids are on the other end of the scale.

If that's a "fact", where is the proof? What harms are there that can only be addressed with age verification and not in any other way?

> Dismissing the harms [...]

This is a strawman you've created.

> Defending privacy effectively means plugging the root cause it is being encroached.

Defending privacy means defending privacy, not submitting to nefarious interests and well-meaning but misled followers.

> This is being articulated as a defense of privacy when it originates from social media harms to kids.

Social media can be dangerous to kids, I don't see anyone disputing that. The dispute is around the solution to this issue.

How did you come to the conclusion that advocating for privacy is at odds with protecting users? I'd argue the opposite is true.

At that price point you could also go with a Tenstorrent Galaxy Blackhole, which starts at $110,000.

This assumes good faith, which doesn't match reality. It's about control, not protecting children.

Also age verification is still a problem in itself. Given your idea of a physical card, kids will find a way to use the card of their parents. Even if the card couldn't be misused by others - you give platforms the knowledge of whom is a minor, which means they can be targeted better.

Putting timing belts in oil was quite a bad idea from them though.

I've had great success with OpenCode Go and DeepSeek v4 Flash for Terraform code refactorings and extensions. It's cheap enough to pay it yourself ($5 first month, $10 afterwards). Ideally you provide the model a feedback loop (e. g. passing tests) so it can safely iterate.

I'd love to too, but I guess Crescent Island with 480 GB will cost something like $10-12k or even more.

Every now and then there are some people who try to innovate in this space. Example: The guys from corsairpower (https://corsairpower.com/) who put a marine engine in a Cessna 172. However, it seems like they get stuck because of small market size, regulations and incumbents who don't want the status quo to change.

Friends don't let friends use Ollama: https://sleepingrobots.com/dreams/stop-using-ollama/

One of the most interesting features of sodium batteries is that they still perform good in cold temperatures.

So does Opencode Go ($10/mo: https://opencode.ai/go) for DeepSeek v4 Flash and MiMo 2.5.

Having proof is not always enough. I had a bad experience with a shady used car salesman and my review was removed by them. I appealed, nothing happened. I deleted the review and put up a new concise one with proof. It wasn't published. The appeal was eventually successful but my new review still not published. I appealed via arbitration, which was decided in my favor but the review is still not published, as their decision is not legally binding. So Google rather pays hundreds of Euros in arbitration fees than publish my honest review. In the arbitration process they said that because I deleted my first review there is nothing they could do, which to me is nonsense. Overall the Google Maps review situation is very frustrating. At least they now show how many reviews have been removed in the past year for defamation for every Google Maps listing.

I'm speaking of third-party providers. They just host those open models themselves on their hardware.

There are also EU providers for those models, e. g. Tensorix.

There are US providers for DeepSeek v4, MiMo 2.5 and GLM 5.1.

> As a bit of an aside, I have been toying with the idea of adding some sort of second pass/security auditing/scaling offering to my consultancy for people vibe coding projects which wind up generating interest. (Not sure what the fuck else I'm going to do!) I have a few non-technical friends who have found themselves in this situation and there's a real need for it.

There might be a need for it but as a consultant your daily rate should be way above what a small vibe coder is willing to pay.

> As signs of how desperate I'm getting, I recently signed up for Task Rabbit and am seriously considering applying for a job at Tractor Supply.

I hope you'll find a way to keep going. Signing up for gig work is a race to the bottom though and not something I'd recommend. May I ask how you've arrived at this point?

+1, it's good enough for what I need to do as a DevOps engineer.

After reviewing the video tapes the police concluded that the women knew that they were handling poison - they kept their hands away from their body and immediately washed them after the attack.

I've been using DeepSeek v4 Flash with OpenCode for the whole week to refactor a Terraform code base I inherited and it worked surprisingly well.

In that scenario others host the model, not DeepSeek themselves, so they indeed charge their own prices.

Which one-off tasks need 10k lines of code?

> If you are (like me) somewhat paranoid about the fact that Vaultwarden hasn't got a proper security audit on its codebase [...]

It was audited in 2024: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Password-manager-BSI-reports-cr...

You can make it illegal to use private cameras for surveillance of public spaces. In Europe this is already the case.

> Basically, the spark I felt some 25 years ago seems to be completely gone.

You just need to find the right application for your skills to reignite it, e. g. a side project. There are also plenty of awesome books out there to dive into new topics (I like O'Reilly and No Starch Press books).

So you are looking to offer a managed RADIUS server once you've finished building the software?

What motivated you to start this and which language did you choose?

The times where you have to try to appease small but vocal perpetually outraged groups are over. The German language has no generic feminine so adding it to the extension would contradict its goal.

I like the Unhooked extension. You can select which parts of YouTube you want to remove (e. g. Shorts). My start page is empty, I need to visit the channel pages to watch their videos.

It's still the same word, just as generic masculine. Gender speech isn't part of the German language but an add-on with no standardization (that's why there are multiple different approaches). Apart from looking awkward one of the main criticisms is that it hurts the reading flow. Following that point the extension improves the reading experience.
