medlazik··on I quit OpenAI because its culture is broken
whistleblowing ≠ lying
medlazik··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
Neoliberalism, that famously open and transparent economic ideology
medlazik··on Steam Frame starts at $1059
10 years later and VR headsets are still too heavy, hot and sweaty. Short of having brain implants or magical contact lenses, nothing will ever change that.

Can't be used more than 30min without major discomfort for most people. Any talks about it replacing monitors are lies.

medlazik··on France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls
Current law forces them to use known phone number ranges and to my surprise they respect it. I'm using an app that blocks those ranges, I receive about 3 unsolicited calls per day they're all blocked. We even have a phone provider that can block them for you.

I fear the ban will just make them use random numbers we can't block

medlazik··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
I said absolutely nothing about LLMs, which is a fantastic tool I'm using every day. I'm talking about marketing.
medlazik··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
AI marketing bullshit stunts are unlike anything I've seen in 30 years. It started with MS Copilot so called capabilities for work, which were completely made up use cases that didn't work at all (3 years later still). We've had OpenAI "AGI is coming" and "AI will take your job", now we have Mythos being so "dangerous" for cybersecurity, which of course makes the average Joe interpret it as Anthropic being "the better overall company, the NSA uses it!!". I mean gov foes with Anthropic are probably true, but the marketing is to blame not Mythos capabilities. This is all so fucking pathetic
medlazik··on Sony Launches Bravia 9 II and Bravia 7 II with 'True RGB'
Bugatti? Why go extra steps and not buy directly from Volkswagen?
medlazik··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
Look around? It's everywhere. Try talking to a graphic designer looking for a job theses days. Companies didn't wait for these tools to be good to start using them.
medlazik··on NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist
This an ad. Any "news" about Anthropic is just an ad at this point and most probably bullshit
medlazik··on Warren Buffett steps down as Berkshire Hathaway CEO after six decades
It's fascinating how even smart people like you become so utterly naive when it comes to politics. This guy partly owns some of the most evil companies humanity has ever created ffs. Zero ethics, 100% capitalist greed.
medlazik··on iPad Pro with M5 chip
I don't understand why there isn't a market for 15"+ iPads. 13" is just too small for home use and too heavy for using it without a stand, might as well make it much bigger
medlazik··on Liberté, égalité, Radioactivité
What's causing "serious concerns about the whole nation defaulting" is billionaires not paying enough taxes, not taking back 15% of what was ours in the first place...
medlazik··on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October
That's not "your" windows 7 but a community computer used to host cp
medlazik··on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October
About 30 critical RCEs since oct 24, botnet operators adore you
medlazik··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
> all human development activity is unclean

of course

> modern definition of clean

clean is clean. no need to lie or modernize word definitions to fit your agenda of promoting nuclear energy all day every day for a decade

medlazik··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
Who talked about those? Not the fucking point. Nuclear isn't clean.
medlazik··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
>What do you mean?

I mean it's not clean

>one of the lowest impact mining of resources we have

Not the point. It's not clean, it shouldn't be called clean end of the story.

medlazik··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
Uranium mining isn't clean at all. Between Greenpeace (full of business school hacks) and lobby pressured EU courts, there's a middle ground.
medlazik··on Vendors that treat single sign-on as a luxury feature
Small orgs don't need to be SOC2 to have client contracts that require SSO. This is absolute fucking evil behavior and this page shouldn't exist anymore in 2025.
medlazik··on Fight Chat Control
Not sure what you call the "so-called left", but the actual left (LFI) certainly doesn't support Chat Control
medlazik··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Missiles don't sell themselves
medlazik··on uBlock Origin Lite Beta for Safari iOS
The news is "uBlock Origin Lite Beta for Safari iOS" not "uBlock Origin Lite exists"
medlazik··on Azure's Weakest Link? How API Connections Spill Secrets
This list of vulns nobody was ever bothered with except for 1 (Storm-0558) doesn't prove your ridiculously sensational comment above
medlazik··on The NBA Apple Vision Pro App Now Has a 3D Tabletop View
"Earth is burning and 99% of humanity is suffering but at least for a century we were oh so creative" You in 2062, most probably
medlazik··on The NBA Apple Vision Pro app now has a 3D tabletop view
Absolutely everything related to this article except the sport itself. All innovation from now on should go through a committee of scientists and randomly selected individuals to avoid such fucking stupid ""innovations"" to ever exist.
medlazik··on The NBA Apple Vision Pro app now has a 3D tabletop view
Humanity is doomed. Only some actual communist central planning could forbid this and the other thousands of "innovations" in order to drastically reduce resource consumption and maybe, just maybe make earth kinda livable in the next 50 years. Otherwise we're just doomed and if not us, the younger generation assuredly.
medlazik··on First Look: Loops, by Pixelfed – Decentralised TikTok Competitor (2024)
> Social networks should be about socialising and not a minority of professional content creators enriched by doomscroll-fueled advertisements.

That's absolutely not what Tiktok is. Most people who make money are a majority or random amateur users with massive social interactions, and i see no "doomscroll-fueled advertisements" whatsoever. Ads are very badly targeted, like on every other platform.

medlazik··on Dumping Memory to Bypass BitLocker on Windows 11
Step 3: Boot from the USB Device

Game over, any laptop with data worth stealing will have this disabled in bios

medlazik··on Block the Blue – Twitter Verified Blocker
I prefer BlueLiteBlocker, just instantly hide them all, no need to block

https://github.com/BlueLiteBlocker/BlueLiteBlocker

medlazik··on Going back to the old (pre-X) Twitter iOS app
On desktop, the extension "Control Panel for Twitter" will let you "Replace X branding changes", it's great.

https://jbscript.dev/control-panel-for-twitter

You can also hide the idiots with the BlueLiteBlocker extension

https://github.com/BlueLiteBlocker/BlueLiteBlocker

Makes Twitter a bit more like it was before idiot in chief took over
