Often for trivial things that LLM is proud that it has noticed but bear no load whatsoever.

And forced AWS to acquire them instead? Nice trick.

There are other reasons for porting, like control over your own device.

Ouch. But at least there is OSMand.

Exactly this. And now it is AI - I can't wait to see what they will be paying in a few years to those who will be able to clean up the LLM mess.

This is probably at least partially true. And they know that if they get together with South America, they can easily replace FIFA with another governing structure.

You know how it is: 10k here, 30k there... and there is a few M in a swiss bank account (or whatever the modern hiding place is).

You misunderstood, it's 31.6% actually.

Wow, is it using e-paper? Cool!

> ..., I MUST open the bank app to get the CVV code.

Ah. Gotcha.

Well no. We were just reminded (pretty directly and rudely, I might add) that USA is not always on our side. Nothing wrong with being independent and able to stand on our own feet. Which in turn will benefit USA too, assuming we stay allies.

One step at a time. Until then, you can use Murena or GrapheneOS.

Yes. And there were many other cases in between, I just lack incentive to dig them up. Feel free to do it yourself. The thing is - their behavior didn't change for better.

As someone who is regularly blocked by CF and G - no, they are not. Even worse, they should not be, because that would mean the complete end of privacy online (not that we are far from that). Anubis works because at scale it wastes bots' resources (time mainly).

2026: Google again found breaking the law.

For me, Fable is useless. It goes its own way and doesn't communicate much even if explicitly asked to. Sure it builds a lot of stuff, but it is more often than not useless because it misinterpreted the intention and didn't stop to ask - and because it doesn't communicate, it goes unnoticed for too long. Opus is much better for regular work, imho.

Wow, just wow. How about charging the website builders for negligence, for failing to protect sensitive data? Simply incredible.

No difference - very similar actually.

It can be done so that it looks like a series of "oopsie" bugs. China (the same as US) has used spycraft extensively in the past.

> Using a Chinese LLM will not put a Marxist under your bed.

Interesting tangent - it might be taught to introduce stealthy backdoors in your company though. Maybe even across multiple PRs where each session puts a small chink in the armor, and together they allow unlimited access to the attacker who knows about them.

After all, LLMs are mostly black boxes. How comfortable would you be running a Chinese compiler?

> ...many pages simply do not work properly with it,...

Using Google's websites much, are we? FF works great everywhere except there. I think the official term for the bugs on these pages is "oops"...

I use FF everywhere except on G pages, where I use Brave.

The big gotcha is what one understands under the word "use". If I want to USE it as a basis for my business where I sell routers with the GPL software, there are some tiny restrictions regarding that, as Linksys learned [0].

Curious - why like this? I usually tell it to write down the analysis once all is clear, so I'm wondering if your approach is better.

TIL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983

Absolutely not. Go read e.g. GPL license before spreading such falsehoods.

Nah, I think this is Google's way of pushing against those who value privacy. Firefox? With uBO? No cookies? Not fetching Google fonts? Must be a bot for sure. /s

With openweights? Yes. It might halucinate a backdoor somewhere ( not that you can trust any model about that), but it will still work.

I know that running this locally is prohibitively expensive (for now), but what kind of cost would I be looking at if I wanted to rent the hardware and run the model by myself?

5-10 minutes? I'm sold. Any link you can share?

I'm saying this as someone who has learned about CORS protections many times, implemented the solutions with care they deserved, but forgot most of it soon after - each time. So I'd be very happy to invest even 15 minutes to break this cycle.

Interesting... I wanted to prove you wrong but it looks like you are right: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S%26P_500_companies

Just had 10 rounds of busses, motorcycles and fire hydrants with Google before I decided I don't actually want to see that page so much. So Cloudflare is unfortunately not the only offender here.
