Ideally, yes.

Historical preservation, retro computing, period-correct hardware setups.

Yes, except unironically. A market that cannot efficiently serve the vast majority of the population is a failed market.

Planning ahead is the #1 problem for people with executive dysfunction, many of whom work in IT.

Yes, exactly. There's a lot of poor people.

It's still a good primer for those of us that haven't been keeping up with de-Googled Android for a while.

From a corporation with a proven track record in those things? Let's not pretend like they should be given the benefit of the doubt.

o3 and GPT-5 will unthinkingly default to the "exposing a reasoning model's raw CoT means that the model is malfunctioning" stance, because it's in OpenAI's interest to de-normalise providing this information in API responses.

Not only do they quote specious arguments like "API users do not want to see this because it's confusing/upsetting", "it might output copyrighted content in the reasoning" or "it could result in disclosure of PII" (which are patently false in practice) as disinformation, they will outright poison downstream models' attitudes with these statements in synthetic datasets unless one does heavy filtering.

The more options you have, the better IMO.

MDF/MDS isn't open, but could possibly be reverse-engineered enough to read the DPMS data.

That actually sounds like a good match for LLMs' ability to do fuzzy intuition and pattern-matching.

> It feels like wrestling with 1998 in trying to use VLC these days. It's got a real WinAmp feel to it.

What do you mean by that? To me, it's like any other application - you double-click the file (or run `vlc file.mp4`), and it plays. That the UI is not oversimplified is a cultural thing, VLC decided to cater to those that prefer to have the extra controls.

I can see it being useful. Lots of people who don't know English are out there.

If 20B reasoning models are the goal, we can do that a whole lot cheaper than for $1T.

SSH access over a slow network connection?

I don't see how this makes the "JS availability should be the baseline" assumption any more legitimate. We make it possible to function in a society for those 6% of people. Low percentage still works out to a whole lot of people who shouldn't be left out.

I don't see the problem here. Nobody should be able to install or disallow installation of software on a device except for the end user.

You can navigate to the files you downloaded with NewPipe and tap on them. They will open in the default video player.

We don't need more KYC, no.

Huh? Don't you have a file manager on your phone?

Hard open source with zero network connectivity of any kind (other than to a llama-server hosted on my own network, or maybe an optional paid provider) is the only way I would trust this. Otherwise, this is literally spyware.

You're much better off accessing Llama 3 through a third party hoster. Some have a web UI if you don't want to deal with API calls. It's much more transparent this way, since you know that the only moderation layer/system prompt are coming directly from the model itself + what you set. Ask around on /r/LocalLlama, somebody will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

What code is needed to make a decision to go with a smaller provider instead of AWS?

That doesn't fully explain why this doesn't happen with non-profits.

The guy in question has a contact link or email. I'd reach out and just ask.

It's time to switch to the API, then. Not to be glib about it, but an API powered experience where you control the front-end is far more controllable and stable than ChatGPT, which you have no control over.

Yes, that is exactly right. Those exact companies aren't serious companies.

Not everything needs to be a race, and certainly not art.

There is a third-party downloader that uses an API to grab binaries for all games in your library. I just download the individual files one by one, though.

We've got plenty of servers, electricity, network hardware and people who code. We are missing the oxygen in the room, which American services all collectively sucked out. Banning those services will open some potential for innovation.
