I kinda appreciate that you still apply some benefit of the doubt.

voytec··on US stops sharing intelligence on Russia with Ukraine
Trump seems to be all about providing Russia and degrading the US.

Nonetheless, I see it as a good thing for the EU - maybe we'll finally stop being a "sending prayers" pussies, develop weapons, stop depending in 100% on NATO, and grow some balls.

When it comes to lying to investors - it’s fraud.
voytec··on Spacetime maps: A map that warps to show travel time
NYC seems like bad default example. I had to check other cities to "get" what's this site about. With NYC - everywhere is similarly far.
voytec··on I helped fix sleep-wake hangs on Linux with AMD GPUs
I've had zero problems with S3 wake/sleep on AMD ThinkPad with FreeBSD for years. And FreeBSD uses AMD drivers pulled from Linux. How is this still a problem on Linux?

voytec··on Phind 2: AI search with visual answers and multi-step reasoning
These graphs were available to me for some time now but I have not really found them all that interesting. For some reason, I had to wait for the diagram to render and then for the text to slowly render.

To my poor understanding of LLMs, when the diagram was slowly created - the text behind it should already "be there" and should have been displayed immediately after the diagram but this was not the case. Also, often the slowly drawn diagram was only presenting my rather clear (for LLM) prompt: "i did this, when situation was this and that, and than this happened; question: why the result was A and not B?"

I found myself falling back to Claude more often than not over using Phind 70B and 405B models. I found it kind of... more gimmicky than useful.

> Month day year makes sense because that's how people talk: I'll be there February 5, etc.

People also say "twelve past two" and yet you don't use 12:2:SS.

For a person born and raised in metric system, MM/DD/YY is just as bonkers as if someone decided that MM:HH:SS makes sense.

voytec··on Seagate: 'new' hard drives used for tens of thousands of hours
Not to defend Seagate, but also:

> Although it’s not entirely clear if actual fraud is happening here, something has definitely gone very wrong.

voytec··on We got hit by an alarmingly well-prepared phish spammer
> People connecting through our VPN have access to an internal-only SMTP gateway machine that doesn't require SMTP authentication.

This part sounds... not great. Even bad actor within org could send messages as someone else: president to payroll etc.

voytec··on WordPress Is in Trouble
Narcissistic personality disorder[0] is unnoticeable for a person having it, but makes lives of all around them a living hell. Such person is always right, and the 99.99% people around with an opposite opinion/viewpoint are idiots. If some "idiot" is standing up, there comes the retaliation part.

voytec··on Decline in teen drug use continues, surprising experts
Current Israel's gov is the reincarnation of Jewish people's former oppressors.

It's sickening how they're looking into singular events from the past to explain their current attempts at committing ongoing genocide attempts.

You mean 2G and 3G in favor of 3.95G LTE, AKA 4G.
