I opened in safary on iPhone and couldn’t find game. Only howto text. Then I realized small screenshot on top is the game. But full screen button doesn’t work.

This is great timing, I'm just setting up a homelab and planning to run Immich on a mini PC server connected to a NAS. I did find icloudpd, which seems like a pretty reliable syncing tool for people in Apple ecosystem. https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...
I just sync from my mac and iphone to immich. Works well

It's sad that they only compare to open weight models. I feel most users don't care much about OSS/not OSS. The value proposition is the quality of the generation for some use case.
I guess it says a bit about the state of European AI
It’s not for users but for businesses. There is demand for inhouse use with data privacy.
Regular users can’t even run large model due to lack of compute.

Does anyone have a good resource for a quickstart/high-level overview of just the terminology required to understand Nix? Flakes/overlays/nixpkgs/etc. I start wading in to try and understand it, and instead run into arguments and disagreements.
Unfortunately, without a base level understanding of the entire ecosystem, I stay lost.
I started playing with nix few months ago. Youtube videos from Vimjoyer helped a lot.
On top of that Claude Code is very good at understanding/explaining/updating config.
Regarding features: so far for my home setup (few vms on proxmox) I only needed flakes. They age good at organizing multihost config.
But besides it it works smoothly. And I constantly have thought “wait, why we didn’t always do it this way?”

I think if taxpayers were allowed to freely vote for what percentage of their tax dollars went toward, for funsies, I think bait and sting operations would be toward the top of the list. Bait copper, bait bikes, bait suitcases in back seats of cars. Heck, they could probably make a YouTube channel out of it and pay for itself.
I’m surprised there is no YouTuber who would make such a show. Like, add many cameras to the car, put a laptop with GPS on the backseat, and leave the car in the Oakland public parking lot.
Then use the videos as proof for the police and the laptop’s location to quickly find the criminal.
I don’t think there is a law that prevents it.

Exactly, but each time any lawmakers wants to "protect the children", the "alcohol solution" needs to be brought up. While it is somewhat ridiculous when applied to Internet access, it bring in the right perspective -- the population as a whole does not need to be affected by the measure
Except with alcohol everyone is affected by the measure. I need to show my personal data to random grocery store worker to buy alcohol. I an not minor.
I was going crazy trying to figure out why I couldn't connect to our supercomputer an hour ago. Relieved to know it was a global outage!
As someone pointed out recently here: no one gets fired for AWS outage

If the goal is to protect minors, then alcohol may be a better model:
a) Alcohol is considered harmful for minors, hence
b) It is unlawful for minors to posses and consume alcohol;
c) It is unlawful to sell alcohol to minors;
Similarly:
1) Internet may potentially contain harmful material, hence:
2) It is unlawful for minors access Internet;
3) It is unlawful to sell or provide to minors access to Internet or any devices or services that facilitate access to Internet
Easy-peasy
Protecting minors is never a goal.
But punishing VPN providers will be next step after banning usage.
I use it every single day and it is amazing! I have had my car for 6+ years now and it has only gotten better. Starting with "Navigate on Autopilot" when I originally got the car in 2019 which was pretty janky, it has only gotten better and better (with the rare regression in some cases).
As of the last year or so, I don't even have to touch the steering wheel anymore!
It is a miracle consumer technology but it does mistakes. I have 40k miles in last 2 years mostly using fsd (since v13). And my anecdotal experience is that it drives itself well until it doesn’t. So far I was lucky enough to pay attention when it was critical. Which is hard to do because car doing good most of the time.

I am grateful to Cursor for ushering in the new age of coding beyond the "old" Github Copilot. I am also grateful to their VCs for subsidizing my coding. I am going to use their money to write subsidized code as long as the party lasts.
As joke goes: capitalism is the best communism.
I wonder how many interesting small projects were created as a side effect of cursor funding.
