Oh thanks that Xteink X4 looks interesting, I'll do some research. Cheers!

I would have thought this would be more of a story, I'm surprised there are so few comments.

"Claude Desktop, an Anthropic application, reached across the trust boundary between two independent vendors, and wrote configuration into Brave's application directory. The principle that an application does not silently modify another application is so obvious it rarely gets stated. Anthropic broke it in silence."

This is the key point for me - ask me, let me remove when done. That would be all it takes to not abuse trust.

Slightly off topic, but I was discussing with my wife getting a kindle for my son (8) recently.

Any recommendations for alternatives? I have no problem using calibre to convert the books, and manually transfer from my PC. It just needs to read books.

If those people writing the Bills could sudo they would be very upset.

That makes so much more sense

It's a work around to them making changes to deliberately change the expected results of pressing "back"

I don't mean to derail (and thank you for the - horrifying - link), but why the hell is that a "short". It would have been much better being a normal video (with time controls).

Title should be "The secrets of the Shinkansen" which is odd for a (very well written) piece about Japanese commuter trains (non-shinkansen versions).

Maybe it's a carry on though "This is the third article we have released from Issue 23".

It's been a hell of a morning for llama heads - first this, then the claude drop and turboquant.

I'm currently setting this one up, if it works well with a custom LoRa ontop ill be able to run two at once for my custom memory management system :D

Agreed.

We can either use our real names (bad plan IMHO) or deal with the fact that without the consequences of our actions, there are a lot of arseholes around.

Moderation is the answer, I think there's no way around that. HN show's that it can be done well, reddit show's that it can be done badly. Twitter show's what happens when it's not done (yes I'm being a little extreme there).

Oh perfect timing, my son was asking me what that table was when we saw it in a show the other day. Thanks :D

As it's enabled by default, does that mean everything has already been siphoned off and now I'm just closing the gate behind the animals escaping?

Shit like this shouldn't be allowed.

Oh cool, thanks.

Non-playstore applications will have restricted access(sms/telephony), and bit by bit the screws will be tightened.

"Only 0.0004% of the userbase installs after the initial 24 period, greater than x% take 48 hours or more so the 24hr window is now 72hr", and repeat until its all nice and locked down for them.

"Your google play account will now need ID to prevent children accessing adult software" will come along not long after. For the children.

-.-

This has really moved up my timeline of switching to Graphene.

Admittadly I was being lazy and not checking if Line works on it yet, but I'll be finding that out this weekend it seems.

So it seems it will work as they intended.

"I did not expect such a mess", I certainly did. Another arm of the push to remove anonymity online.

Exactly. Slowly the screws will be tightened, saying "oh the age gates are too loose" and will need ID verification, step by step.

How the hell are you managing that. On a simple micro level I can figure it out, but as a whole over the entire house? o.0

I was thinking the same thing. Would be interesting to see their usage over timezones.

I'm a big believer in the slippery slope, once the smallest hurdle is passed, it's a small thing to say "Oh anyone can lie, so now we need them to ensure it's true."

I'm getting really tired of people trying to use "for the children" to be able to identify every user and remove anonymity from the internet.

Wonderful writing. As someone who is in exactly the same boat (as I assume a lot of us here are), being called on for family tech support for around 30 years now, I too am starting to reconsider recommending windows.

My son is getting to the age where is taking an interest in computers(not just games) so I think I will be starting him off on a linux box.

Done :)

Oh that Live Kaiwa looks interesting, I might try it out this weekend with my wife and son (native Japanese). Anything to help my admittedly horrible Japanese

Well there goes my weekend. Thanks!

Careful, I enjoyed this bonus (being in Japan and not being able to keep up with the ads)... so much so, that I started ignoring the Japanese. Including my wife. You can imagine how well that went.

Oh I'm looking forward to playing with this one. But as a solo-dev-on-the-side I really wish Anthropic would create another plan, I'll happily pay for a pro-double to give me twice the usage. The $100 package is a bit brutal when converted to Yen, when I'm using it for side projects :s

I'm against needing to give my personal ID to use a simple service. Especially when it's already been leaked once.

No thanks, there are other services I can use.

Well that's both unsettling and informative. It would explain why I seem to be a better gamer on a good sized monitor unlike the oversized one I have now. (I am ignoring the aging factor here, deliberately. Denial isn't only in Egypt.

I run a separate memory layer between my local and my chat.

Without a ton of hassle I cannot do that with a public model(without paying API pricing).

My responses may be slower, but I know the historical context is going to be there. As well as the model overrides.

In addition I can bolt on modules as I feel like it(voice, avatar, silly tavern to list a few).

I get to control my model by selecting specific ones for tasks, I can upgrade as they are released.

These are the reasons I use local.

I do use Claude for a coding junior so I can assign tasks and review it, purely because I do not have something that can replicate that locally on my setup(hardware wise, but from what I have read local coding models are not matching Claude yet)

That's more than likely a temporary issue(years not weeks with the expensive of things and state of open models specialising in coding).
