Why do these video generation ones never become usable to the public. Is it just they had to create millions of videos and cherry pick only a handful of decent generations? Or is it just so expensive there's no business model for it?

My mind instantly assumes it a money thing and they're just wanting to charge millions for it, therefore out of reach for the general public. But then with Meta's whole stance on open ai models, that doesn't seem to ring true.

Can also use the library computer too.

> When you factor in the price of buying a printer

I don't think that's a fair comparison, as you would have to compare buying a printer and pen, with buying a computer and internet connection.

You can never truly be sure as it's can't be entirely removed. There has to be a little bit remaining, just the first few modules or the machine will shut down after 30 minutes, but the Librem 15 is a beautiful machine and Puri.sm are really awesome.

Yup [1]. They've basically left their core mission and just sell out now.

Thanks for raising closed hardware too, and I presume you are talking about the Intel ME (backdoor spyware [1] that Intel puts into all their chips via their closed source proprietary firmware). It's a complete blackbox, other CPU that no one knows entirely what it does, but has full access to your main CPU/memory/computer, and allows it to be remotely controlled by anyone with Intels signing keys.

We need to open this too, or at least be transparent, and your points on closed firmware/hardware is really important.

Just a PSA, that you really shouldn't be using Vivaldi or any closed source browser. As we know, companies that start off privacy/ethically focused (take Mozilla for example) eventually turn evil and start spying/tracking their users.

Vivaldi will eventually start doing this, and you'll have absolutely no idea because it's entirely closed source. No one knows what mischief they get up to.

TL;DR; Don't sign into your bank with Vivaldi

I really hope this fixed a bunch of encryption and key issues.

We ran Element for our dev team for 6 months and had to give up because frequently a person would just not be able to decrypt a message, warnings would appear but there was no way to solve this. So literally people where missing messages and just having to ask people to post the message again (because there was no way to request the keys be sent). It was a complete disaster and only got worse over the 6 months.

The notifications icon was a mess too. You would frequently see the "unread messages" indicator for a message that was in a thread sub conversation somewhere, even though all the messages had been read. So again people were missing messages.

Despite numerous people begging for threads to be disabled while Element fixed the bug, they refused to put that option in.

In the end, we had to give up and just move to Slack. I really want Element/Matrix to work. I feel like we need it to work, but the lack of support and understanding from the development team would make be warn people to not use this in a professional/day job environment.

That being said, I'll defo be trying it out again personally with the hope they've listened to the community and fix these important bugs.

I presume solar power?

I just installed it on Chrome, and it hasn't worked on a single site, but upvoting as I love the idea as horrible as the whole consent banner thing is :(

For example bing.com, britishairways.com all show their consent popup. It does try and do that minimize thing, as something flashes to the bottom right. But the model still appears in the same place as always.

Really nice! I made a small cli tool that has an extra step of basically printing out a tree, so you can ask the ai what files you want to output:

https://github.com/markwylde/ai-toolkit

The real tragedy is the proprietary bootcode.bin gpu code that is a blackbox and we don't have the source code for.

How horrible that a tinkering/hobbies project has to have these hidden secret blackboxes that can't be modified.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've just given it a try and it looks great. I had tried coolify.io before, but the multi node/swarm support wasn't great, and the registry didn't work. Dokploy seemed to work straight out of the box.

One thing I wish it had to preview deployments though. Coolify had that. But I can live without it.

The experience is awful if you don't want any of the Python stuff.

Really cool. Your demo would have been even better if you add contenteditable on there so the user can edit and see how it works:

<pre contenteditable="plaintext-only" class=""><code>...

I'm constantly dumping several files from my project into chat ai's, so made this simple cli tool that can dump the file tree, print all file contents or get the typescipts definitions for all files.

It works best on small/single responsibility projects.

I think the closest you might get is something like the bittorrent dht. There are still bootstrap servers for the first few connections, but there's really no getting away from that, right?

It's now so trivial to solve them, and extremely cheap. You can install a chrome extension, give some solving service a $1 and basically never need to reload.

If you live in Europe or a country that has discrimination laws against less abled users, you should raise a complaint if a website uses Captcha's. I believe captchas are unnecessary and make life more difficult for visually and motor impaired users.

However, there are loads of captcha solving services you can sign up to that just solve them for you for basically free. For example, 2captcha. You install a browser extension and it just solves them for you.

Still ridiculous you have to do this.

Why? It's a local model that runs on the device. How could ChatGPT see anything to do with it?

Great, yet another new battery revelation that will never come to market. Why is this? Why do we constantly hear of these amazing, technical advances, but yet we never see any of it come to market?

- Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

- Solid-State Batteries

- Sodium-Ion Batteries

- Aluminum-Ion Batteries

- Silicon Anode Batteries

- Magnesium-Ion Batteries

- Lithium-Air Batteries

- Zinc-Air Batteries

- Flow Batteries

- Graphene-Based Batteries

Would be great to see this sort of thing for all political parties, or at least Labour and Conservatives.

Sodium-ion batteries are rechargeable batteries that use sodium ions (Na+) as its charge carriers12.

They are similar to lithium-ion batteries in terms of working principle and cell construction, but they replace lithium with sodium as the intercalating ion1.

Sodium-ion batteries are cheaper to produce, safer to use, and operate better in extreme temperatures than lithium-ion batteries3.

However, sodium batteries of equal capacity are heavier and larger than their lithium equivalents3.

I'm convinced Musk is intentionally trying to kill Twitter, and it's going exactly as planned.

This is my thought too. How many cells are actually need to do this. If it's just a few, surely if a patients kidney is in 80% bad shape, then they can take a few cells from the 20% good and do this?

I guess if there is a genetic problem with the patients own liver, then it would make sense to use another persons cells.

Ahh just read the last paragraph:

> If the liver trial is successful, Gouon-Evans says, it would be worth investigating whether a person’s own stem cells could be used to generate the cells that seed the lymph nodes. This technique could create personalized cells that capture the diversity of cells in the liver and don’t require immunosuppressive drugs, she says.

It was an amazing watch. They were so well done and every second was addictive to watch.

We also tried to use it, but frequently, messages will fail to decrypt with no option to retry. Threads is a mess, where messages will show as unread, but you can't actually see what message was unread.

Matrix/Element is so close to a great alternative to Slack, but in it's current state it's totally unusable.

But as frequently stated, Human Resources is not for the employees. It's even in the name. Humans are just a Resource. The whole point of HR is to ensure the company is legally safe from their employees and legislation.

If you own a company, you'll love HR. If you work for a company, hate them.

Any recommended reading? I found a cheatsheet [1] which seems useful, but there's not that much in there.
