I bought apple product and yet they own and control access to me as a customer tolling at 30% of revenue.

So no, that wasn't free either.

The religious are more likely to object to this name. One can imagine a different name in Saudi, for example.

Among atheists one would think it would no more troubling than referencing Legolas in a name. [1]

In China I suspect they'd object to "Mao's Eyes" as a name for this.

[1] Many atheists may register an objection on the grounds of upsetting others in the community.

Elegantly cool. Good job.

>I think the important thing is just being able to serialize and deserialize POD structs to and from some representation (e.g. json). For more advanced data, such as images or specific binary (file) formats, it’s easier to write custom writing / reading, encoding / decoding logic.

Why not just use a visitor? (Genuine question, not c++ snark).

Something like that I guess.

There’s an English cricketer called Ben Duckett. His nickname among Australian fans when playing for their local team appears to be “Autocorrect”

Autocorrectson sounds like a fine family name.

In England it’d be “Duckyson”

I wonder if there are real examples of more creative nicknames becoming surnames.

Like an 8 year old factoring large numbers it's not amazing how well it is done it's that it is done at all that amazes. Sure. Amazing but not at all useful and not something one would expect the kind of fuss we've seen.

Seems the explanation is the deepseek-r1 models I was using are not, in fact, deepseek-r1. Thanks all for the heads up.

I've been trying both deepseek-r1:8b and deepseek-r1:32b using ollama on a local desktop machine.

Trying to get it to generate some pretty simple verilog code with extensive prompting.

It seems really bad?

Like specify what the module interface should be in the prompt and it ignores it and makes something up bad. Utterly rubbish code beyond that. Specify a calculation to be performed yet it calculates something very different.

What am I missing? Why is everyone so excited? Seems significantly worse to me than llama. Both o1-mini and claude haiku imperfect, sure, but way ahead. Both follow the same prompt and get the interface and calculation as specified. Am I doing it all wrong somehow (more than likely)?

After fixing up my open-webui install I tried "testing 1 2 3, testing. Respond with ok if you see this." Deepseek-r1:8b started trying to prove a number theory result.

Is there a chance this thing is heavily optimised for benchmarking not actual use?

Have you got some support for this claim?

There's a lot of wild claims about, so while this is plausible it would be great if there were some evidence backing it.

How does the pebble compare to the pine time?

But if you're into it, Ben Boehmer in Cappadocia, The Blaze atop the Aguile Du Midi in the French Alps are a couple of the many gems in that same series of Cercle sets.

I don't mind holding your hand. Get your search engine out.

"alfa bank" site:theatlantic.com

then compare with anything written by anyone who understands what DNS is.

The Atlantic trashed their credibility with that absolute fabricated garbage. I am not a trump fan.

The Atlantic is simply not a credible source for anything involving Russian influence on the USA.

Anything they print on the topic you think is plausible should be corroborated relatively deeply. The Alfa Bank BS is amazing.

Putin sucks.

If they do so with a political point eg "you should care as much about children in ...." Maybe that point has some considerable support too. Should that be suppressed too? Maybe it should. Uncomfortable.

> Luigi Mangione's comments on stack overflow don't even register in terms of violence caused.

This is completely and totally true.

Totally irrelevant in terms of what policy /should/ be and one of the reasons to move it away from one example because what fits one example may not be generally applicable. I have not and do not stick up for S.O.

Marx, yeah nah I don't think he's helpful here or indeed anywhere.

Nope, wrong cause direction. Do people never become mass killers to get attention? Does giving mass killers more attention, making them famous affect anything, maybe encourage more?

"No" is a reasonable response if you can support it.

Let's move this away from Mr Mangione's direct example and consider what appropriate policy should be where serious crime gathers attention.

Somebody publishes their thoughts contributing to how the world should be in their view on the internet. We all do that, me here.

They are then accused and arrested for a horrible crime. Murder, for example. This garners their thoughts a great deal more attention than they would otherwise get as now they are (in)famous.

No removal of publication until conviction.

Is there now an incentive to advertise your views by committing crime to attract as much attention as possible? Easiest way is to make it as horrific as possible.

I am thinking extremist racists will take those rules. More than one of them. More than once.

So now we're somewhere pretty uncomfortable. I think it wrong to suppress Osama Bin Laden's screeds recently removed from the Guardian online, however much I loathe him and everything he stood for. So what about some neo-nazi mass murderer? Or the copycat? Or the following ten? Is that really so hypothetical that we can't see a body count with it? Is this alarm-ism? I hope so, I genuinely do and have no hidden motive here.

I'm not buying that this situation has easy policy nor that whatever is done results in something we are going to be fully comfortable with.

One outcome may be very much worse for many more people than another, so thinking it through fully is really needed. Something I am yet to make much more than this vague start.

Online publishing policy seems like a relevant framing.

Owntone http stream works on any browser, ios, droid.

Works well enough i haven’t bothered to set up anything else.

Wireguard is pretty great for all this stuff.

and yet so often, right now, today, these rubbish upload and playlists missing files is what you get from youtube.

So buy some hardware from China, like eg banana pi, drop your Linux or bsd router distribution of choice on it.

But yes you’d need to know something about which distribution, ideally listen to someone’s actual experience.

This was the hope that started this thread. It still does work sometimes around here but surely not this time at all.

This is not replacing artists with ai which is what is being discussed.

Spotify replaced artists with ai, they have no need to pay labels to do it.

YouTube wants you to pay for rubbish quality uploads by their users. You want to listen to an album and put on the playlist, track 3 was a single so you get a mono recording of the rock video complete with theatrical dialog that makes no sense to listen to when you want to listen and not watch. Is that playlist actually the list for the album? Maybe not but even if it is, how many tracks are missing because of copyright claims or similar?

YouTube does nothing but rely on the crowd for quality and it’s rubbish.

But sure, I’m sympathetic when they ask me to pay for “premium” - I’m sure it’s a premium rate.

You’d need labels at all then why?

show me consumer router hardware not made in china.

Having trouble generating much ripoff sympathy for someone who wants to listen to elevator music and feels ripped off because they can't tell the difference between human and algorithm. They've lost what that wasn't already long gone for them? That I have sympathy for, how could we not?

Banana Pi /is/ hardware.

OpwnWRT is one distro that runs on it, apparently. Seems you know even less than I do about it.

https://www.banana-pi.org/en/product-news/557.html

So who knows much about banana pi and using that to build a router. What firmware? Are there better hardware options? Anything user-friendly enough to compare with consumer grade uis for routers? Anything else that should be being asked in this space?

https://www.banana-pi.org/

I've had a reasonable run with athom pre-flashed tasmota kit and HA.

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/5790427

Low effort, low maintenance, works good. mqtt & wifi, tasmota has everything you could want in a timer interface while still exposing switching etc to override it HA.

> I do feel a lot of ordinary kids would miss out ...

Or maybe simply miss out on being properly educated so that science and engineering isn't magic passed down by the authority of the ordained clever people wearing the robes but instead something that can be understood.

It's actually quite difficult (impossible?) to have an informed opinion on any government policy if you don't understand some stats and probability. Yet the newspapers are dominated by people writing who completely lack this understanding.

This works both ways or it doesn't at all.

You want selfless devotion to the goal then you damn well better not be wasting my time and cutting costs at the expense of my productivity.

Managers who don't know what they're talking about and insist they do and insist they are right causing massive lost time, then want to hold meeting after meeting about how it is everyone else's fault. You've seen it. Why am I working long hours doing work, some of which is shovelling sand that need shovelling because I'm not too good for it when if that idiot had been restrained to their level of competence we'd already have delivered and I'd see more of my family. Selfless devotion? To what?

In the old days when SSDs were 'expensive' and companies economised and didn't immediately buy them for the team because my time isn't worth saving but they want me to stay back to get more done for a deadline? Selfless devotion to a goal you're showing clearly you don't care about.

This stuff is really normal. You have stories, everyone does. And so we take the path that is best for ourselves and those we like. Any other choice isn't "egoless" it's insane.

Managing a team is hard. Keeping idiots from having idiotic influence is hard. Spotting who is managing up is hard. Noticing, supporting and retaining who is good is hard.

Having someone with a massive ego who you might cross the road to avoid having to socially interact with other than they do a decent job of that hard managing might work out better than "Egoless."
