In your country, maybe. Over here you're dead in the water without a smartphone — can't access banking except by going to the branch and standing in the queue for an hour or two, can't access most government services. Limit your selection of goods (like electronics, but not only that) by something like 90% (and also increase prices by 30-50%) because brick and mortar shops sell old crap at much higher cost than it was ever worth, and the only real solution is buying from a major marketplace which is only available as a mobile application.

This concept originated in China and is spreading. Beware.

Can I ask which country? You said originated in China but is it China or another east Asia country?

Context is not infinite. Saving context for what matters is key in working with LLMs.

Context is not infinite yet.

New standard for something that maybe false very soon is just a bad idea.

All of your links to your own posts in your blog seem to be broken -- relative links need a "/" at the beginning, I think?
_ache_ · 11 days ago
It's odd. There multiples problems on that blog.

https://xenodium.com/emacs-as-your-video-trimming-tool/

Is fixed and also fix various typo in the blog post. Bbut has other bugs, for example, the title link redirect to the bugged URL.

But (the bugged URL):

https://xenodium.com/emacs-as-your-video-trimming-tool Have the problems with relative links you talked about.

_ache_ commented on "Remove mentions of XSLT from the html spec"   github.com/whatwg/html/pu... · Posted by u/troupo

This is actually not a bad idea. Why should the browser contain a specific template engine, like XSLT, and not Jinja for example? Also it can be reimplemented using JS or WASM.

The browsers today are too bloated and it is difficult to create a new browser engine. I wish there were simpler standards for "minimal browser", for example, supporting only basic HTML tags, basic layout rules, WASM and Java bytecode.

Many things, like WebAudio or Canvas, could be immplemented using WASM modules, which as a side effect, would prevent their use for fingerprinting.

_ache_ · 11 days ago
I get the point a minimal browser and WASM, but Java bytecode ?! Why not Python bytecode ? Seems unreasonable to me to add any specific bytecode support. By layout rules you mean get rid of CSS ? Sounds also unreasonable IMHO.

And no WebAudio and Canvas couldn't be implemented in client WASM without big security implication. If by module you mean inside the browser, them, what is the point of WASM here ?

Isn't this for the extension of the temporary measure that allowed providers to volontarily scan messages and which does not break E2E encryption?
_ache_ · 15 days ago
Technically it for the version of ChatControl of mid-2024 where it was about adding a backdoor to E2E. I didn't find most recent data.

But the current version isn't "volontarily" (you mean unpaid or self-willed ?), it's mandatory.

Can't see the Website.

I'm the only one with a HTTPS problem here? Bad domain, `art.mahajana.net` instead of 0x80.pl.

If you value democracy, I suggest not to trust any random website you read. Of course the French left (at least EELV/LFI) is not going to support this. This should be obvious if you know a bit what ideas they are defending (them and the others too), which you should as well if democracy matters to you.
_ache_ · 18 days ago
Can you explain a little why it's obvious? Last time I checked, LFI was for and EELV against.

Orthogonal, but I just wanted to say how awesome Ollama is. It took 2 seconds to find the model and a minute to download and now I'm using it.

Kudos to that team.

_ache_ · 24 days ago
To be fair, it's with the help of OpenAI. They did it together, before the official release.
