This is the nth-ish article I’ve seen on human brain cells being exceptionally better than the brain cells of other organisms when it comes to computer processing. This shit is being stacked on top of the now confirmed neurologically controlled prosthetics available in some parts of Africa and Europe. Is this shit real? Will the future of computation seriously be man-machine hybrids?

>My point is that security people need to get their priorities straight. The “threat model” section of a security paper resembles the script for a telenovela that was written by a paranoid schizophrenic: there are elaborate narratives and grand conspiracy theories, and there are heroes and villains with fantastic (yet oddly constrained) powers that necessitate a grinding battle of emotional and technical attrition. In the real world, threat models are much simpler (see Figure 1). Basically, you’re either dealing with Mossad or not-Mossad. If your adversary is not-Mossad, then you’ll probably be fine if you pick a good password and don’t respond to emails from [email protected]. If your adversary is the Mossad, YOU’RE GONNA DIE AND THERE’S NOTHING THAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT. The Mossad is not intimidated by the fact that you employ https://. If the Mossad wants your data, they’re going to use a drone to replace your cellphone with a piece of uranium that’s shaped like a cellphone, and when you die of tumors filled
with tumors, they’re going to hold a press conference and say “It wasn’t us” as they wear t-shirts that say “IT WAS DEFINITELY US,” and then they’re going to buy all of your stuff at your estate sale so that they can directly look at the photos of your vacation instead of reading your insipid emails about them.
Was he right?

Don't care, when I concern myself with security, I get convenience freeing myself from shit I didn't realize was inconveniencing me prior.

Sort of but it is good actually to keep doing wrong priority security research because it keeps microsoft employees like him awake at night

The attempting to frustrate glowuyghurs is fun in and of itself


the Mossad aren't fucking gods. If you think the glowies are Actual Gods, why do 50% of murders still go unsolved? Why didn't they find Bin Laden within a month after 9/11? Why are there still unknown suspects on the FBI's website? Seriously, why did October 7th happen? Are these failures all intentional choices by an omniscient enemy? Why? This is such a stupid and incurious way to understand state capacity for surveillance and what it means to have a state as your threat model. The NSA has truly awesome data collection capabilities, yes. But actually sorting through that data to find actionable intelligence is insanely hard.
>but they have AI to sort for them!
Go ahead. Turn on the AI analysis to identify every person who has ever expressed something conceivably threatening. Holy shit, it's *millions of alerts* again. Most of these will amount to nothing. There is a galaxy of difference between being a known high-priority target of the Mossad and the Mossad identifying you personally as a target before you've done anything. Even then, they only managed to stumble on Sinwar by accident. Let's say it's an in between scenario, and you're on a couple of elevated lists because you tripped a filter or went to a couple of infiltrated meetings. That still leaves their resources for intensive human led surveillance spread incredibly thin. Anyone suggesting that the feds are omnipotent gods is extremely psyopped, even with all their toys.

Might as well ask here since its related to being able to propagate information and educate others.

Is there any good AI service that lets me dub long videos into other languages?

The Best i've found is veed since it lets you dub around 10 minutes but is like 1 of those pero month unless you pay.

Is there any service similar to fakeyou that lets me do this?

I'm here so you guys scream at me to try to convince me to use anything but a noobuntu distro.

After support for W10 ends I'm switching my 14 years old home desktop computer into something a bit more recent, and I'm genuinely considering using GNU+Linux as my "main driver" as kids say nowadays.

I have a lot of experience using Mint as that was my distro of choice for nearly 14 months, I think Cinnamon is an eyesore but otherwise it just werks and I could do almost everything I wanted to do except running Game Maker Studio 2 which is only available on Ubuntu according to the devs.

I'm considering using Kubuntu since KDE Plasma looks sick and it's basically Ubuntu so I can consoom my noob gamedev kit in peace.

As an addendum I hate "rolling distros". Manjaro is an abomination where things just werk against you if you're not a giga turbonerd who's on the computer 24/7 and derives sexual pleasure from fixing tech issues.

Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the ability to create ephemeral shells is something I use more or less daily. Here is a blog post that might make the concept clearer: https://www.futurile.net/2023/04/29/guix-shell-virtual-environments-containers/

You can install both guix and nix on other distros, so you can play around with this without distrohopping.

>>28840
Yeah, i don't really need something like this. The only place where i would use reproducable builds would be a minimal server setup and i'd rather just write a couple shell scripts for that.

>>28841
Ephemeral shells I use not so much for reproducibility as for convenience, similarly to how you use python virtualenvs to avoid cluttering your profile with python packages. Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.

>>28842
>Whether this makes any difference to you depends on the types of tasks you do.
It doesn't really. The environments of my desktop is polluted by things from under /usr/local and orphan files from multiple releases back and i don't see anything wrong with this. For the chroots and servers i work with it's either similar or control is tight enough that rolling my own is the most attractive of all options. Sorry, but i don't want guix to compile the jungle on my banana server.

Emacs is your best bet then

I just have come across some money and I want to build a new gaming PC, my old pc is starting to show its age. Where do I start? I have a 3000 dollar budget. Looking for a high end gpu, The best cpu and and can carry a blueray player.

>>24575
3000 is an insane amount lol. I recently upgraded and the most difficult thing to choose was the mobo actually. Huge differences in price and hard to discern for what reason.

Why don't you consult reddit?

I guess first choice to make would be if you are gonna go with Amd or intel and amd or nvidia. Thrn when you figure that out just get whatever the newest flagship is. Then pick mobo that works for the chipset. Whatever the best ssd is for your main drive. Ram highest clock speed. Probably want to go ddr5 but I hear there isn't much of an advantage currently. That's about it. Case doesn't matter just get one you think looks kewl.

>>24576
>look it up
>top of the line geforce costs 1800 now
Damn. Well splurge on the graphics card more than the proccessor for gaming. Gaming doesn't need a super cpu. Also splurge on the ssd if you want better loading times.

if you want an internal blu ray drive, then you need a compatible SATA connector on the motherboard and a properly sized optical drive bay (5.25", half height) on the case, i think
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA_Express#CONNECTORS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drive_bay#Form_factors

>>24575
What'd you end up doing OP?
I'm thinking about pairing a 98003XD with a 9070 XT

>>28852
Get a used Nvidia GPU instead of AMD. Framegen and Raytracing run like shit, but they're the way gaming is headed sadly.

tfw no middle point between wm bars that barely use cpu but have plenty of minor but annoying bugs or lack some functionality or another and wm bars filled with eye candy running on fucking gtk3 or some shit without bugs and a module for pretty much everything

i hate the concept of ricing i just want something decently pretty and decently efficient for my old computer man

This, but unironically.

launchers are not the same as a bar and even then you literally launch a program and thats it, you dont "use the bar most of the time" rofl

https://venturebeat.com/ai/open-source-deepseek-r1-uses-pure-reinforcement-learning-to-match-openai-o1-at-95-less-cost/
<Based on the recently introduced DeepSeek V3 mixture-of-experts model, DeepSeek-R1 matches the performance of o1, OpenAI’s frontier reasoning LLM, across math, coding and reasoning tasks. The best part? It does this at a much more tempting cost, proving to be 90-95% more affordable than the latter.
<Specifically, where OpenAI o1 costs $15 per million input tokens and $60 per million output tokens, DeepSeek Reasoner, which is based on the R1 model, costs $0.55 per million input and $2.19 per million output tokens.
https://xcancel.com/DrJimFan/status/1881353126210687089
<DeepSeek-R1 not only open-sources a barrage of models but also spills all the training secrets. They are perhaps the first OSS project that shows major, sustained growth of an RL flywheel.

Read the paper yourself. https://github.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1
>Reasoning tasks: (1) DeepSeek-R1 achieves a score of 79.8% Pass@1 on AIME 2024, slightly surpassing OpenAI-o1-1217. On MATH-500, it attains an impressive score of 97.3%, performing on par with OpenAI-o1-1217 and significantly outperforming other models. (2) On coding-related tasks, DeepSeek-R1 demonstrates expert level in code competition tasks, as it achieves 2,029 Elo rating on Codeforces outperforming 96.3% human participants in the competition. For engineering-related tasks, DeepSeek-R1 performs slightly better than DeepSeek-V3, which could help developers in real world tasks.
>Knowledge: On benchmarks such as MMLU, MMLU-Pro, and GPQA Diamond, DeepSeek R1 achieves outstanding results, significantly outperforming DeepSeek-V3 with scores of 90.8% on MMLU, 84.0% on MMLU-Pro, and 71.5% on GPQA Diamond. While its performance is slightly below that of OpenAI-o1-1217 on these benchmarks, DeepSeek-R1 surpasses other closed-source models, demonstrating its competitive edge in educationaPost too long.

>R1 1776 is a DeepSeek-R1 reasoning model that has been post-trained by Perplexity AI to remove Chinese Communist Party censorship. The model provides unbiased, accurate, and factual information while maintaining high reasoning capabilities.

https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/open-sourcing-r1-1776

They already made a "de-CCPd" version of Deepseek that properly calls Xi Jinping an authoritarian dictator like it says on wikipedia and repeats Adrian Zenz word for word on what is really going on in Xinjiang.

Ahem… FUCK LIBERALS!! FUCK SILICON VALLEY TECHBROS AND THEIR SLIMY LITTLE GUTS!!

the class element of the indie web
(have never heard anyone call it peripheral web) is actually fairly important to understanding the movement

I'm subscribed to some blogs and feed aggregators but that's all.

wtf is an "indie/personal" web lol?

seems like you just mean websites, which is what the web was supposed to be and actually was until normoids turned it into just instagram/facebook/tiktok/twitter/google.

>>28834
Seems like there's an uptake in people making/becomeing aware of normal websites outside the corpo bubble.
