This. I am a Silicon Valley manager, been hiring & managing teams for 25 years. For the same budget I can bring on 1 developer in California, vs 2-3 in Mexico or India.
TBH the quality of engineer has very little to do with their nationality. It has a lot more to do with what school they went to. It depends most on how much fire 🔥 is in their belly.
“Try rebooting. If that doesn’t fix it, make sure you don’t have a Llama model selected.”
wildlife conservation
I met multiple long term romantic partners from this exact thing.
Plus even if you don’t find someone, any time invested in saving animals is absolutely positive karma you can feel good about, even if it was just cleaning cages.
noop; noop; noop;
better light sensitivity
I like to think of it as “colors and light so brilliant and pretty it’s like tripping shrooms”
Yeah, the newer thing to counter that is WebTunnel which came out last year. There’s considerably more setup than just starting a snowflake proxy process, and I am ashamed to say I haven’t set one up yet
This particular coding leaderboard matches my own personal experience. Llama4 is hitting ~15% ; Claude Opus4 ~70% (I haven’t used others personally)
If you really want privacy, use Tor which is free-as-in-speech-and-beer
In general real-time games are not great for Tor, because it introduces lots of network latency – which makes you safer
For most applications, the easiest way to Torify is via using SOCKS from the Tor Browser Bundle, which would let you simply pick Snowflake when Tor Browser starts up. I asked Perplexity for directions on running Minecraft over Tor, here ya go
a whole new country relying on the snowflake protocol.
That would put them in the company of China, Russia, and Iran. Getting unrestricted Internet to people in those countries is why I am among those who run a snowflake node on a dedicated VPS (the link also has a simple browser addon – it’s easy to support the network, everyone should)
Yes, these moves suck for UK youth. But, anti-censorship tools do exist, and volunteers like me want people who could benefit from them, to know about & use them.
any sane adult should never send a copy of their id to anything but the government, bank, insurance or employer.
100% agree, take my upvote
Even AF_BLUETOOTH sockets are… sockets, where one machine ("server’) opens to listen, and the other (“client”) initiates the stream
“Floppy disks” were 8 inches a side in my youth and went in the minicomputer
Then along came Newfangled desktop PCs with their 5.25" floppies
Tom Bombadil remembers first acorn and first rain drop
This is how you get under-18s to use Tor browser
My mistake
hold on I am still somewhat new to Fedi & not fully used to people being polite
ofc a lot depends on the precise definitions of terms, state corporatism is not synonymous with generally free markets operating under the regulation of a basically diverse inclusive democracy – but both are referred to as “capitalism”
The Monero community spent a long time trying to find a “useful PoW” function. The problem is that most computations that are useful are not also easy to verify as correct. javascript optimization was one direction that got pursued pretty far.
But at the end of the day, a crypto that actually intends to withstand attacks from major governments requires a system that is decentralized, trustless, and verifiable, and the only solutions that have been found to date involve algorithms for which a GPU or even custom ASIC confers no significant advantage over a consumer-grade CPU.
Imagine if it was people’s happiness and freedom instead of quarterly profits
It’s definitely valid to disagree about point #3, but then you need to give a better model for #1 and #2
I would give this reddit gold
Instant easy complaints help-i’m-oppressed-by-Capitalism today sound an awful lot like the instant easy complaints help-i’m-oppressed-by-Communism I used to hear from rednecks
Ask someone who starved & died under either system how obviously superior it is, you will find millions on either side
Monero
Satoshi was right and Crypto absolutely has valid use cases. What if your government doesn’t want you accessing meds you need at prices you can afford? What if your government doesn’t like your sexual orientation, but you want a subscription to a dating site? What if your government throws up unjust export controls or tariffs that suddenly make you and your business impossible?
Crypto’s best killer use case is uncensorable, untraceable money
Bitcoin is neither of those things. There is a reason people buy heroin with Monero. It actually does what crypto is supposed to do, which means it could safeguard your Grindr XTRA subscription.
Actually having elders in human societies is shown to positively correlate with better outcomes for the youth in that society. Grandmothers in particular have a measurable benefit.
