Love the screensaver

The robots will love this.
r0b05··on Git hosting that never leaves Europe
Is your code safe on hetzner though? I wanted to do something similar but I'm hesitant about what hetzner employees can see on the machines so I don't know how private and safe it would be to store code there.
r0b05··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
We are so used to these numbers being thrown around in the AI era that something one needs a reminder that this is 13 billion, not million. Insane exit by HF.

There is no reason to be on github anymore.

I love using Pi and its design philosophy. The minimalism is what resonates with me. It just works, update after update.
r0b05··on Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion
The large attack surface is a good point. I started using it initially and the ease of setting up a vpn was nice, but then I came across few security vulnerability postings which led to concern so I went to Wireguard. I think they should reign in the features and treat it as a secure vpn first and foremost and remove unnecessary features to minimize the attack surface.
r0b05··on Tailscale didn't stop the Hugging Face intrusion
That link is a list of incidents while the parent comment is referring to security audits of the code.
r0b05··on Running a 28.9M parameter LLM on an $8 microcontroller
So cool, thanks!
r0b05··on The AI Aesthetic
I believe it has to do with the size of the icons rather than placing the icon with a label. The AI trend is towards smaller icons. That being said, the more I look at the pic in the article, the more pleasing the smaller icons look to me. Perhaps we just didn't know any better.
r0b05··on The AI Aesthetic
Why are tiny icons good abstractions?
r0b05··on Running a 28.9M parameter LLM on an $8 microcontroller
