jjoergensen··on Ollama violating llama.cpp license for over a year
I noticed this "thank you" today: "GGML

Thank you to the GGML team for the tensor library that powers Ollama’s inference – accessing GGML directly from Go has given a portable way to design custom inference graphs and tackle harder model architectures not available before in Ollama."

jjoergensen··on NanoKVM: Affordable, Multifunctional, Nano RISC-V IP-KVM
VAT should be added for EU. This would make importing less of a headache.
jjoergensen··on Windows 11 is now enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
How is this not a compliance risk? Automatically transferring data, including personal data, to the cloud without explicit consent raises GDPR concerns.
jjoergensen··on Tunnel.pyjam.as – HTTP tunnels without custom software thanks to WireGuard
Perhaps this could serve as inspiration https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go/tree/tun/netstack

Fly.io version using it https://github.com/superfly/flyctl/tree/master/pkg/wg

net.Dialer using gVisor https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go/tree/tun/netstack/tun.go#...

jjoergensen··on Windows 11 Pro will soon require a Microsoft Account during initial setup
So how would that work for people who only work in offline networks?
jjoergensen··on GitHub confirmed using all public code for training copilot regardless license
I agree that what Google does is considered fair use. They show your content as snippets and they gain knowledge about topics and improve their search engine based on your content. I don’t see a big issue with what Github is doing either, as long as it’s not a near duplicate of the original content.
jjoergensen··on GitHub confirmed using all public code for training copilot regardless license
Google has trained their web search on much of the internet. Is it problematic?
jjoergensen··on Stepping Back from Speaking
How wonderfully liberating when people dare to be honest with themselves and others. It's a good thing.
jjoergensen··on Tracking Users Across the Web via TLS Session Resumption (2018) [pdf]
What would this tracking mean in regards to following the EU ePrivacy directive? My understanding is that session resumption mechanisms could be used to track users by capturing the session ID and associating it with the user's IP address, it should follow that the use of such devices should be allowed only for legitimate purposes, with the knowledge of the users concerned?

"(24) Terminal equipment of users of electronic communications networks and any information stored on such equipment are part of the private sphere of the users requiring protection under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. So-called spyware, web bugs, hidden identifiers and other similar devices can enter the user's terminal without their knowledge in order to gain access to information, to store hidden information or to trace the activities of the user and may seriously intrude upon the privacy of these users. The use of such devices should be allowed only for legitimate purposes, with the knowledge of the users concerned. 25) However, such devices, for instance so-called "cookies", can be a legitimate and useful tool, for example, in analysing the effectiveness of website design and advertising, and in verifying the identity of users engaged in on-line transactions. Where such devices, for instance cookies, are intended for a legitimate purpose, such as to facilitate the provision of information society services, their use should be allowed on condition that users are provided with clear and precise information in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC about the purposes of cookies or similar devices so as to ensure that users are made aware of information being placed on the terminal equipment they are using."

jjoergensen··on EU Draft Council Declaration Against Encryption [pdf]
Stasi 2.0
jjoergensen··on GPT-3 Explorer
I did the same a long time ago. No key yet, but waiting patiently and in excitement.
jjoergensen··on Bye
Looks like an alternative to hey.com :-)
jjoergensen··on Denmarks shuts down all schools, daycare facilities, universities, highschools
Tax and VAT payments can be deferred
jjoergensen··on Danish bank launches negative interest rate mortgage
Buying a house means taking over a payment and tax liability, it's not just about owning and controlling an asset. Confidence in the financial system is apparently so low that someone is willing to pay you fictitious money now in return of fewer actual cash in the future.
jjoergensen··on ZeroTier Releases LF: A Fully Decentralized Fully Replicated Key/Value Store
Copyleft discourages me from adopting the technology, I'm not much for including anything with a copyleft license in my stack. I clearly understand the need to make a profit and have nothing against it ... I understand that you feel that SaaS monitoring would be a problem and that this project is not just technology to support your primary product (the zerotier network stack), but that it is a product you wish can generate a profit on its own. Maybe the ideas behind CockroachDB's work could be helpful? https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/oss-relicensing-cockroach...
jjoergensen··on ZeroTier Releases LF: A Fully Decentralized Fully Replicated Key/Value Store
Big fan of zerotier. But not a fan of GPLv3. Would you consider a different license?
jjoergensen··on Cloudflare Time Services
Thanks! I guess that answers my question. So the timing of both sources should match each other.
jjoergensen··on Cloudflare Time Services
I assume Cloudflare does not serve leap-smeared time? In regards to rough-time, does anyone know what the result would be when both Cloudflare and Google are used at the same time, and Google serves leap-smeared time?
jjoergensen··on Grover – A State-of-the-Art Defense Against Neural Fake News
The first text I wrote (myself), it detected as being written by a machine.
jjoergensen··on New notarization requirements from macOS 10.14.5 onward
Comply with the App Store or die :'(
jjoergensen··on Asylo: an open-source framework for confidential computing
Would I need a commercial Intel license to use it for Intel SGX? I ask because they don't seem to hand out the licenses to everyone. https://software.intel.com/en-us/sgx/commercial-use-license-... https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-software-guard...
jjoergensen··on Ask HN: How are you implementing GDPR-compliant soft deletes?
Deletion of backup-data is also an interesting topic
jjoergensen··on Go 1.10 Release Notes (DRAFT)
Really cool: c-shared works on windows/amd64

This will make it easier to create a dll and slowly migrate old codebases

jjoergensen··on Introducing Cloud Spanner, a Global Database Service
They write that it's a CP system. So A is not guaranteed, but in practice they are able to provide A most of the time, with a private network and only 1 failure in all of 2016 (whatever that means).
jjoergensen··on Kolkata to get its first self-driving metro trains by 2018
Copenhagen (Denmark) has as well
jjoergensen··on The Curse of the First-In First-Out Queue Discipline (2012) [pdf]
Perhaps 70% could be LIFO and 30% FIFO. This will give an incentive for people to visit when there is no queue at all, but everyone will eventually get served. The problem would be to uniquely identify someone to avoid cheating.
jjoergensen··on Spain is trying to get rid of Uber: drivers will face fines up to €18K
It would be nice to be able to find a "sane" taxi-driver in Spain. Many (most) of them drive like crazy and they are all listening to very loud football on the radio.
jjoergensen··on Tor exit node operator prosecuted in Austria
The government is prosecuting a guy for running a system that their own intelligence agency (and their allies) are depending on. A system that is funded by U.S. federal government.
jjoergensen··on Wolfram Programming Cloud Is Live
Thank you for making this clear! :-)
jjoergensen··on Wolfram Programming Cloud Is Live
Am I missing something here?. The number of API calls per month seems to be extremely low?

With 100 or 1000 API calls, how can you make a "dynamic" application? This would only be useful for static / stale content.

What good is purchasing more credits, if I only have a very low number of API calls?
