Yes but the abliterated versions (those with partially removed guardrails) are significantly “dumber” so the trade off isn’t worthwhile imho.

This (or something very similar) was on X last week. The use case was so funny: using an LLM on an airplane connected to WiFi when you had not paid for WiFi … because DNS queries are allowed before paying :)

Also went thru HF0 in SF. Had no problem coding 18 hours a day because I had lived in SF before and didn’t care about going outside :)

That said most of my batch was not from SF and they had no problem staying in and focusing.

So yeah I bet this works in Vietnam too.

I have the Chuwi Minibook X. I bought it because it fits on an airplane tray table and I can do real work on it (since it runs Windows 11). I flew a lot last fall and my iPad simply didn't work with Github and Notion - mobile Safari just didn't cut it (multitasking killed everything due to page reloads on iOS).

Running Firefox on the Minibook X works ... it's not great, but it works.

That said, I would pay top dollar for an 11" MacBook Air for sure.

I love this. Well done. I've looked in the past for an ultra portable full sized keyboard (with a nice aesthetic) that I could throw in my pocket. I wonder if I could actually do any real work (not coding, of course) at a coffee shop with my iPhone in a stand and with a keyboard like that.

From TA

> Constellation and its partners will add approximately 1,100 MW of clean energy by 2028, enough energy to power over one million homes.

And

> A portion of the power will come from investments Constellation will make to increase output at its nuclear plants.

Anyone know where the rest of the promised energy comes from? Building a new plant takes a long time...

Yeah #1 reduces the surface area for sure, #2 maybe not so much :)

> A bug in the SSH integration feature caused input and output to be logged to a file on the remote host. This file, /tmp/framer.txt, may be readable by other users on the remote host.

Oof. This is nasty. Some folks may not have access to some machines that they've SSH'd into anymore where files like this may or may not exist.

I discovered https://dnsdumpster.com/ the other day and found it to be incredibly useful.

I remember in the early days of the web people said similar things about online shopping. The LL Bean catalog had more photos in higher resolution than their early e-commerce website, and you would call a phone number and talk to a person who knew the clothing in order to purchase from the catalog. No one would want to buy on a website…

We are in the beginning days here. I expect chatbot advances to similarly start with a lesser customer experience but to eclipse human service in the next decade or so.

We’ll all see, I guess :)

As noted in the article, the discovery is from 2020: https://english.tau.ac.il/news/no_oxygen

Funny that this article from 21 June 2024 is the one finally gaining traction.
