......use Windows on an air-gapped PC to do all your software development? At least then hackers won't steal your source and post your shameful code on the internet.

Ollama released a new feature yesterday

Ollama 0.5.1, yesterday : "Fixed issue where Ollama's API would generate JSON output when specifying "format": null"

Ollama-rs 0.2.1: released 08/09/24.

Gee I wonder why it doesn't play nicely with the latest Ollama API which uses new/updated behaviour for an option 🤔

"Just got to spin through a few trillion instructions to get things sorted before we go to standby! Won't be a minute!"

It's likely to be forced participation.

You want to use airtags and benefit from other phones providing tag locations? Then you have to supply data to the airtag network as well. Quid pro quo and all that.

You can set up fast roaming (802.11r) which is supported by most mobile clients and gives a much more organised handover between APs. Bit of config tangle but apparently works ok once you get it going.

They are capable of voice and data but are only permitted for text messaging due to transmit power restrictions.

Why the fuck isn’t there just a simple status LED that is on the same circuit as the camera?

Because cameras aren't simple on-off devices powered by a single wire, that's why. It's always got power, and it's turned "on" (send image data over the data bus) and "off" (do not send data) by software commands over the same data bus.

So the most convenient solution is then have the camera IC have an output that can drive an indicator light. And as camera ICs are basically full computers in their own right, they can be reprogrammed so that they don't turn on that output.

End result is that you are much better off either having a physical cover over the camera lens, or having a USB camera that you can unplug.

, couldn't the brokers just filter the period when i started clickning everything?

They don't care about the quality of an individual profile, it's the quality of the aggregate data that's important to them. If anything, your profile might be identified as an outlier compared to the average and simply discarded. They're not going to look any further than that and try and "rescue" your data, they've got a million other profiles to sell to advertisers.

What the incoming president fails to understand is that the money that the US funnels towards NATO helps keep a lid on conflicts "over there", so they don't end up "over here", like WWII.

The US reached the "bread and circuses" stage of politics a decade or so ago. Once the population figures out it can vote itself money (or the promise of money) it's all over.

Look at the campaign promises of the incoming president. "More for you, not them", sums it up. The problem is that everyone hopes they are the "you" in that offer.

And still not a customer in sight for this useless POS.

Their primary customer is Starlink, and a big chunk of ship development is being paid for by Starlink revenue.

The internal video of the payload bay shows part of the mechanism that will be used for them. Probably a few more launches and splashdowns and then it will be carrying Starlink sats as test payloads.

To maintain the full Starlink constellation they need to launch about a thousand satellites a year. There's your customer for "this useless POS" right there, and they didn't even have to look outside their own organisation.

Is this a variation on l'esprit de l'escalier, where instead of the perfect comeback you simply make up a set of events after the fact that put you in the best light? 🤔
