There are lots of scientific groups that work in the so called soft sciences that apply the usual methods of the hard sciences. It’s not about soft or hard, it’s about good or bad.

So it seems that letting LLMs to write sloppy posts for us can be useful after all. May be c/privacy should implement an automatic AI reformating XD

I mean… yeah, you have to be pretty crazy to be happy living in this world as it is right now.

So you had to go to the meme version of the story to ease your pain about a non-specialist using AI to find a novel treatment that successfully made his dog’s cancer recede?

Yeah, using your 12 or 24 words you saved elsewhere safely. First create a new wallet having a new set of 12/24 words and select an address to receive coins. Then restore the original wallet with your saved words and transfer you coins to the selected new address. Now your coins are safe in the new address and the new set of words are the ones you have to keep safe.

Interesting, I’ll check it out. I see the flapak release, will you make it available from flathub?

There are a couple of things you can do:

1. Hide the app from the app drawer. To open the app you have to go to settings and look for the complete app listing which include system apps. Search how to hide an app for your particular android version.
2. Connect the phone to the computer and install the wallet as a system app using adb. Being a system appt you can disable it from the app’s context menu and the app will not be visible. To open it you have to enable it from the settings.

In both cases is extremely improbable that someone that grabs it will start to look for hidden or disabled apps in an old and seemingly discarded phone. That’s why nobody has to know that you save your keys in this way. Just grab an old phone, the older, cheaper and unatractive the better. Nature teaches us that disguise is the best way to hide. And in case is stolen, you have a good amount of time to move your coins to another wallet.

What you really need is an air gapped or cold storage and you can achieve this in many ways. I found that one of the best ways to do it is grabbing an old phone and following this guide. TLDR: install the software wallet and never connect the phone to the internet again and use QR codes to sign transactions using the camera. Practical, cheap, truly air gapped and doesn’t attract attention like a hardware wallet.

Posteo has an anonymized payment system, so you could pay with credit card and your payment information won’t be linked to your account.

Incarceration protects you from thieves and murderers, and sacrificing some liberty makes you safer.

It’s a script that I made some years ago. Give it executable permission and you can search (e.g. streema-cli jazz) play and save radio stations. I uses mpv. It loads saved stations when run with no arguments.

I moved to Linux, use Freetube, LineageOS on the phone, listen all day to internet radios from the command line, browser with uBlock add on and it’s been years since I saw or listened an ad.

It struck me how seamlessly AI can now mimic human creativity, to the point where it’s nearly impossible to distinguish between human-made and AI-generated content.

And let any non trained people to subjectively judge if the content is AI generated? With the latest versions of video generation models we are already in the situation where only software can tell if some videos are AI generated or not. Lots of channels will be wrongly tagged.

No, IMO. For a real private android experience you have to switch to Lineage or Graphene and F-droid apps. I’m writing this from a Galaxy A5 2016 with LineageOS with F-droid only apps in one (main) profile and WhatsApp and a couple of other (in my case, sadly unavoidable) proprietary apps in another profile.

Here is a list of supported phones by LineageOS in case you are willing to switch.

Should I do the same if I want to expose an OpenAI compatible API to access an LLM to chat remotely on local technical documents?

It feels awesome.

Not surprising coming from a cat, not its field of expertise. Ask a mouse and it will explain you the difference between intensive and extensive properties of the cheese.

May be it’s the app, I use Jerboa.

I don’t get the downvotes. The article explains that many researchers pointed out methodological issues in the tests measuring microplastics and the implausibility of some results. An the criticism was made writing letters to the respective journals that published the results, i.e. at the highest level, even some authors admitted the possibility of mistakes in the results. Sounds good news to me and honestly having microplastics in the brain equivalent to a credit card was hard to believe.

Brother HL-1212w fully FOSS USB only monochrome laser. If you have a router with USB and openwrt installed you can share the printer over the network. Cheap old printer but works great for just printing.
