I'll keep an eye open, thanks
beAbU··on Anthropic's Claude AI blocks video game cloning and reverse-engineering
An agent running in a restricted sandbox helps fuck-all if the underlying prompts are sent to a mothership datacentre somewhere.

Care to help a brother with an invite?
beAbU··on Manifestos, Fear, and 'Loser Thinking': Inside Proton's AI Reckoning
I'm very happy with Migadu, although they just offer mail, nothing more.
beAbU··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
> In one attempt, the AI answered 13. In the other, it answered 22. Those are the party ballot numbers of Lula and Flávio Bolsonaro

That's "Half-Life 3 confirmed" levels of copium.

What constitution?
beAbU··on Jared Kushner Hacked Phone Reveals Secret Negotiations, Millions in Transactions
In case you don't know, /active is the "real" front page, where this post is still thriving.
beAbU··on Americans Are Spending More Money to Drive Worse Cars
The Kia Niro and the Hyundai Kona are dramatically different vehicles visually. Same platform and EV drivetrain, sure. But to say it's a rebadge is incorrect.
beAbU··on How Quickly Can the DoD Rebuild and Recast the Munitions Industrial Base?
Kickbacks and bribes mean fuck-all when your life depends on the thing you are buying arriving on time and doing what it says on the tin.
beAbU··on Tesla Roadster
How do you know it had that much downforce?
beAbU··on Tesla Roadster
I don't think the car in the video weighed even close to 1000kg.
beAbU··on Fruits and Vegetables 50% Less Nutritious Than in the 1960s
Supplements are cheap. You just wasted your money on a $50 bottle of urine colouring agent.

You can buy like a kilo of ascorbic acid on amazon for that money, which will last you multiple lifetimes probably.

beAbU··on Porsche Mission S
Aren't we still waiting for the previous tesla roadster to be released?
beAbU··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
So thats what's been going on. I was wondering why all of a sardine my *arr stack started downloading executables.

I found the "ignore and blacklist executables" setting easily enough and moved on with my life.

But props to the OP for taking it this far!

beAbU··on An Apology
What software? It's a pin you strike with a hammer to pierce the piezo speaker within.
beAbU··on Citroen revives the 2CV for an electric age
Range Rover 4x4 is for when you have leaves on the estate driveway in autumn, or when you need to take the hounds grousing by the lake on weekends.

I don't thing anyone is _actually_ taking their range rover offroading in any "real" way.

Oh we can only dream!
beAbU··on Bot traffic from Yandex
Don't invade another country. Easy.
beAbU··on I tried to move my notes out of Emacs. I failed. Again
I find the overlap in the venn diagram of people who actually benefit from taking notes, and people who create/use note taking systems (obsidian, zettelkasten, bullet journal, remarkable etc) are vanishingly small.

Most "public" note taking looks more like performative art to me.

Just my opinion tho

> Emacs just by itself will not provide you with a whole ecosystem

Blasphemy!

beAbU··on Theranos.world
English is not my native language, and by the time I posted this my English was all but used up for the day. But I think most understood what I was trying to say anyway, so I'm chill.
beAbU··on Theranos.world
It is exceedingly difficult to convince someone of a lie, if their livelihood depends on believing that lie.
beAbU··on US imposes sanctions on ICC hours after former judge wins Nobel Peace Prize
The South African judiciary and the dept. for international relations (who pushed the pro-russian motion) are two very very separate and sometimes-at-odds-with-one-another state bodies.

Do you have some sources that corroborate your claim that Judge Pillay is out of touch? What specifically is she out of touch about?

beAbU··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
There is a middle ground here: Make this setting configurable, off by default, and with all the associated warnings of what will happen if you switch it on. Better yet, make it settable on each billable service. Keep Route 53 going, but halt and delete any VMs that exceed some limit.
beAbU··on Extra Big Ass Intelligence
Those limericks are straight up fire!
beAbU··on The Forgetful CPU (Linux on M4)
Apple is fucking huge! It's like the biggest (and probably most valuable) consumer electonics brand.

Just a few short years ago apple was the most valuable company period.

How big do you want them to become?

Also, how much bigger will open harware really make them? How many people really care about linux on a mac?

beAbU··on US tells France and Germany to release diesel stocks or face US export ban
I think that's the point of MAD. Bin Laden and his whole country would have been deleted off the face of the earth by everyone else's nukes if they tried shit like that.
beAbU··on Sudo – A dedicated music player designed around listening to music
You mean CF card? I upgraded my iPod classic by pulling out the old 1GB hard drive and replacing it with a 64GB CF card. The pinout is the same, and it works flawlessly.

I felt like a real hacker when I did it!

All those presets are brilliantly named.
