It's a place like Apple is a place !
bobim··on Tim Cook Sold Out Steve Jobs
I love boring-that-works but that's just me. Right about brand preception, it made me move to jolla, lots of suffering and a sense of acomplishment because fewer cents of my money going to far right pockets.
bobim··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
It might be small cost in retrospect.

Maybe you were "tricked into", but probably not forced. We are free to refuse, at cost, but free.

And the reason why it refuses to print this B&W document when yellow is empty.
bobim··on AliExpress runs silent WebAudio fingerprinting that breaks Bluetooth multipoint
We take everything we have, freedom, privacy, free speech, for granted. The reality seems to be that these concepts are fungible and that we have to be ready to fight for them. Instead we trade these for convenience, and it's very very sad.

It's artificial?
bobim··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Thanks, in my view this is a masterpiece, but it might not be obvious to everyone. That you got the reference makes my day.

Need to rewatch with the kids

But stemming from which need? Cold war?
bobim··on London Underground begins scanning passengers' faces
Humans are able to identify a person just with general dimensions and how they move. It's probably within the reach of today's machine learning techniques...

Direct classification as bad actor with bad intentions.

Brazil was so right. We're just an inference away from being jailed. I'm not from UK but it shows how we are all helpless and see in plain conciousness what is coming. When did we lost the grip?
bobim··on 1,741 "informed" consents with one click? GDPR complaint filed
They are useful as a deterrence system, can't decline in one click? I'm out thanks.
bobim··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
I'm not fully understanding this business of MoE so please forgive me if this is a dumb question, but would it be possible to use MPI with a small cluster to distribute the load?
bobim··on Turning a pile of documents into a searchable useable knowledge base
My take was on pictures embedded into those documents, I'm not sure screenshotting would help as the text/numeric data is already there. Just saying.
bobim··on Turning a pile of documents into a searchable useable knowledge base
Could it be extended so it also extracts pictures from pptx and xlsx and run vision to get a description to be added to the text content before indexing?
bobim··on MiMo Code is now released and open-source
I'm slapping debian on any crap hardware around, but that's just me with different ideological standards.
bobim··on πFS
This is disturbing to realize that pi then contains all the past and future knowledge, including when I'll pass away.
bobim··on 'Sloppenheimer:' Amazon employees mock the company's AI on Slack
If you've been 20 years in and built the infrastructure you might disagree with new management and have a very clear view on the harm new policies are making. Professionals might be the ones that have skin in the game.

As an individual contributor I sell my time, not my soul.
bobim··on Astronauts on ISS told to shelter as repairs under way to fix air leaks
I didn't realize Buran flew, and flew autonomously. Impressive for the times.

Are there already skills around modelling, simulation and post-processing? Any pointers?

Could you share some of your hardware details for Qwen 3.6? And are you using the dense or MoE variant?
bobim··on DOS Zone
My opinion is that work should be compensated fairly, that's all. I was just highlighting that copyright is a strange exception, the patent system is more fair even if not perfect. 25 years to make money on an idea seems good enough to me.
bobim··on DOS Zone
True, but in defense of the author site and from a personal perspective, the copyright laws are very skewed and allow for being paid for life for a craft that has been made once. Even heirs benefit from it for life. Isn't that wildly unfair for all the other jobs where you are paid for your work once for all? And irrespectively from the fact that what you designed has been produced by the million and still running...
bobim··on Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
Ah yes, that explains it all! I'm still learning how to unlearn.
bobim··on Where to buy a non-Apple, non-Google smartphone
I have rage-quit apple for a C2 and the muscle memory still kicks in after months. The ergonomy of Sailfish is sometimes bizarre, the little top left dot for navigation for example. Still it does everything I need, just with a very bad camera. Let's hope the 2026 will fix that.
