As opposed to?

Do you really think OpenAI, Anthropic or any other entity in the same business respects your data?

The Chinese AI companies who release open weights actually deserve whatever input you give them. They are the reason why there is competition and not duopolies in the domain.

At least that’s what they’re telling you. It’s a ”trust me bro” scenario.

I’d rather use the phone home version (deepseeks own endpoint). The benefit is that I’m fairly certain that they actually host the model I’m paying for.

That's because 4k on a 43 inch TV is lodpi

Honestly I’d prefer Chinese backdoors over western ones. China is still a land far far away and I couldn’t care less about what they’d do with my data, unlike western alphabet boys who could freeze my accounts and assets for ”wrongthinking” in the future.

You seem to see everything from a binary perspective. China bad, Taiwan good. Russia bad, Ukraine good.

The world is more nuanced than that.

But to answer your question. No we should not give anyone automatic kill bots. Automatic kill bots shouldn’t even be a thing.

Hard decision by Anthropic, but at least they can sleep well at night knowing their products doesn’t kill human beings around the world.

Honestly, that’s way better than having my data stored in US or Israel. The further away from home the better.

Pop open the lid, be right back to where you were. No amount of boot time optimizations will trump that.

"Anti western propaganda" means "dont show whats happening in Palestine and you'll be fine."

Israel has controlled the narrative on Meta and Google. TikTok is the only platform they couldn't control until now.

Yup, same thing here. Gonna try on my Mac soon. Will keep us updated.

It got leaked as a PR with an url to a magnet (torrent) afaik.

It’s a well known fact if you’re remotely interested in cars. Mazda has supposedly upped their game lately regarding rust, but they and other Japanese brands are still regarded inferior to Volvo/german cars in terms of falling apart to rust in our Nordic climate.

You can use car.info to if you want to dig further on this (statistik på skrotade bilar). Or just ask your favorite LLM. You don’t have to take my word for it.

Japan doesn’t salt their roads nearly as much as we do.

I assume you're referring to Länsförsäkringars list of most reliable cars (in terms of engine/mechanical fault).

While it's true that it's mainly asian/Japanese cars that are least reported, that doesn't make them the most reliable in general.

Mazdas and Toyotas tend to rust off in our nordic weather way faster than german brands or older Volvos. Sure, the engine might still run but what difference does it make if it's all become a piece of rust that is ready to fall apart within ten years.

Quality is not just based on the design some office workers come up with. It’s also manufacturing process, material sourcing (iron ore etc) and processing of these materials.

The list goes on. But yeah, if I look at for instance Volvo EX30 or EX40 etc, they look very ”off” somehow and doesn’t scream ”built to last” any longer.

Compared to the older XC70, 740 and so on which are built like locomotives.

I strongly believe that some countries correlate with quality (in general, and depending on the subject). It has to do with the way of working I guess. People in countries with stronger hierarchy in the workplace tend to polish away the faults and shortcomings when reporting to their superiors.

I don’t believe there’s anything strange in thinking that way. It’s as if saying the Avocados in Peru is generally better and higher quality than the Avocados produced in Spain.

Volvo sadly no longer stands for Swedish quality and safety.

What you’re buying is essentially an overpriced Chinese car with Volvo stickers.

And I’m saying this as a Swede. Buy German cars, specifically within the Volkswagen auto group (Audi, VW, Skoda etc) if you want reliable quality.

Theoretically you could domainblock known DoH servers that certain applications would use.

But yes, I believe that if an application try hard enough there are ways to bypass any set of rules you set on a device. Luckily, most applications just use the internal libresolv for any domain resolving needs.

And in case it wasn’t clear. Yes it’s DNS-over-HTTPs and no one except my server and njal.la know about my queries.

That’s incorrect. I use DNSecure (iOS app) to relay all DNS traffic on my iPhone to my DNScrypt-proxy server which I host on the internet (make sure you know what you do before exposing DNS servers on the internet).

It’s awesome because I have system wide tracker/adblocking which works whether or not I’m on my LAN and even with Apple Private Relay on.

>Any computer is general purpose if you want it hard enough.

True, but not any general purpose computer comes with 1000TOPS of computational power.

DNScrypt-proxy on openWRT + Unified blocklist text file is far superior than any of the alternatives in the comments.

It’s not an ”out of the box” solution. But when it’s set up you get encrypted DNS requests and network wide ad blocking.

All in a few megabytes.

Shkreli actually tried to upload the album to what.cd. They didn’t accept him as a member.

I’m sure my iPhone 14 Pro with 6GB RAM can handle the 4GB weights no?

Says device is unsupported :(

It's a nice idea. Perhaps you could make it come up with more creative or catchy names?

Right now I only see it merging the two words in one way or the other.

I wonder if this could be used to block ads on TV apps, Youtube app etc.

Is this a per device client? Is it possible to say, run it on Ubuntu as a server and have it handle the whole LAN?
