  • Biden considering separate hostage deal with Hamas, potentially bypassing Israel

    Jump

  • Don't we provide all the weapons? We could definitely stop doing that and at least force Israel to find another source for weaponry if they insist on continuing.

  • U.S. Considers Expanded Nuclear Arsenal, a Reversal of Decades of Cuts

  • Just recommended the audio book to my library. Thanks.

  • Home Assistant 2024.6: Dipping our toes in the world of AI using LLMs

    Jump

  • Looking at the documentation it looks like it relies on Mistral's python tooling to work. I'm fairly dumb, so I don't know if the tool suggestion coming from Mistral is from some kind of separate neural net or as some kind of special response you have to parse (or that their client parses for you?).

  • Mistral Instruct v0.3 added in function calling, but I don't know if its method for implementation is the same/compatible. Also, it is fairly new and wasn't released all that long ago. Hopefully we'll get there soon. :)

  • Windows feature that screenshots everything labeled a security “disaster”

    Jump

  • Not even completely removing Windows from your life will help. Anyone you interact with through email or instant message or social media will have screen-scraped copies of the entire interaction. And that would be bad enough if only a single person gets hacked and has their Recall data hijacked. There will be huge databases available that people will be able to freely cross reference. They'll still be able to build a quite extensive profile on you just through all of your interactions that get scraped from others.

  • A shady financial tool from the housing-bubble era is making a comeback | CNN Business

    Jump

  • If borrowers are unable to afford a down payment, that almost certainly means they have very little financial flexibility.

    Possibly. It might also deplete their only source of financial flexibility, too.

  • Oh yeah. I can remember back in the day it could take quite a bit to compile and start these things, especially if you were running at higher resolution and detail values.

  • 24 of the best free alternatives to the most popular paid software

    Jump

  • Doesn't that apply to every project hosted in America, too, though? Every project is subject to the jurisdiction in which it is hosted. And I know they're not the only project that accepts error reports and in-app updates. Unless there is more telemetry involved or tracking of out-of-app activity, I'm not seeing cause for alarm here. Though I'm open to evidence that there is.

  • Nikki Haley writes ‘finish them’ on IDF artillery shells during Israel visit

    Jump

  • Where is everyone calling you a Russian shill now, @return2ozma@lemmy.world? LOL

    edit: My point is that people only give @return2ozma@lemmy.world shit when he post's anything mildly critical of Biden, but not when he posts anything else. Wasn't calling him a Russian shill.

  • North Korea says its latest attempt to launch satellite failed

    Jump

  • I'm actually really surprised they admitted it.

    There's nothing "wrong" with things like this happening, per se. All new tech has growing pains and failures. But for North Korea to actually admit failure in anything is surprising to me. I would have expected them to keep their failures quiet or to blame them on external adversaries.

  • Best place to pirate audiobooks

    Jump

  • I don't think that Libby itself is. There's DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don't think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby's predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they've been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I'm honestly not sure why it even still works unless it's to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.

  • Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

  • Air Force is “growing concerned” about the pace of Vulcan rocket launches

    Jump

  • I wish we were, through taxes. Though we'd probably just pay Boeing forty-eleventy billion dollars to never complete the project.

  • Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause

    Jump

  • No I get it. I don't like them, but I can live with it if I have to. Luckily my local library has enough DVDs to fill my Jellyfin server. :3

  • Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause

    Jump

  • If I'm being honest, I can handle an ad in my pause menu as long as it doesn't interfere with the rest of operating the device. If I can unpause and reach the closed captioning or audio menu, fine, whatever. What really gets my goat is pre-roll and mid-roll ads. Can't stand them.

  • After 16 years, Ecobee is shutting down support for the original smart thermostat

    Jump

  • It is a standard. I don't know how you can make it not be a thing once it is implemented.
