Sleep issues plague linux, I tell you. I updated and now I need to wait at least a minute for WiFi to work after waking. And when my laptop goes to sleep, it wastes battery. Put it to sleep in the evening and wake it up in the morning? Say hello to 50% less on your battery.

Hopefully with all these sleeping issues, Valve will fix them and it’ll help the rest of the linux ecosystem.

Boy… We are going to get spammed.

I never understood the “phone numbers are evil” people, whining about signal requiring them. As soon as this arrives, they will find another thing to whine about.

Hopefully Signal will make it possible to block any and all communications from people wohtout a phone number, unless I reach out to them. And that that feature also be introduced to groups. Because otherwise maintaining public groups is going to be turboshit.

Don’t buy shit from the fruit store and degoogle your phone if it’s an Android. Maybe in the future we will have a fully featured linux phone that the masses can buy, but we aren’t there yet. Until then, degoogled android is all we realistically have for the normies.

Aldo, Snowden? Hadn’t seen that name in a while. It’s a pity no country besides Russia gave him amnesty.

What’s up with the other post about the UK becoming a police state then? Is that old news?

I’m waiting for a real European search engine that is also digitally sovereign i.e uses its own index. The EU funded one sub index but it was promptly ignored by every single european bing frontend (Ecosia, qwant, startpage, etc.). Why, I don’t know.

Until then, the only search engine that seems to be doing any good with ad money is Ecosia.

Don’t inference providers also provide APIs for cost checking? I imagine you’d need to have a cost-checking service that cancels any CI jobs running an agent. If possible, I’d chain the CI jobs so that one job creates a token with metadata and triggers a new job which runs the agent. The cost-checking service could then trackspending and call the CI API with a kill command for the job whose API token has crossed the limit.

Maybe the inference platforms even allow calling webhooks on certain events. You would still need to identify which CI job to kill, hence my suggestion to create tokens per job, that would allow you to target the job using that token.

Alternatively, you have a second process running in the CI job that pings the inference providers API and kills the agent when a certain condition is met.

Nice, thanks!

How did you do that? Is there a configuration option in the GUI?

For ripping, get “handbrake”

When will this AI bubble pop?

Actually, I’m not even sure the AI bubble popping will change hardware prices, unless the market is suddenly flooded with hardware that has to be sold when companies go bankrupt and datacenters have to be emptied.

Trump was an amazing influence on China. He forced them to rely less on foreign forces and develop more of their own tech at a faster speed. In doing so, he also forced competition outside of China. The war on Ukraine then also brought the EU into the sovereignty mix.

Now that China is catching up, the EU and the US are forced to actually try and keep their lead in certain tech.

Now, if only China dropped Macroslop and other US big tech entirely to invest in Linux and RISCV… If they released a real linux phone (not android) that didn’t depend on the goofy store, it would kick start something amazing.

What about Muhammed?

Big tent is coming for big tech!

It’s highly likely they have huge salaries to go along with it. There are worse ways to spend your time.

They are probably not working on security fulltime, but just overworked devs who are wearing multiple hats.

From reading the blog post, I’m guessing you’re right. They now have to understand what the AI did and clean up after it. But they will do so with more AI. It’s doubtful there will anybody who actually understands the codebase.

Also you sound like you want to do something I can’t endorse, so it’s good that you don’t want to train a model

Not sure what that means. I want to send a message sounding like Trump or respond with a joke in the voice of Ghandi to friends.

Anonymizing would also be a usecase. Then I could replace the audio of videos I want to make after narrating them, record an anonymous podcast, or send voice messages into groups I’m a part of with a different voice.

That doesn’t give a new voice and I can’t send my friends messages sounding like a specific personality

Instead of dumping millions into matrix or an existing alternative, he starts yet another project.

Par for the course
