Do you mean the glowglobe rather than an umbrella? The glowglobes were used for lighting.

Sounds like a massive waste of your time for NextDNS admins and a poor UX for end users. If your security relies on trusting old domains, then you need to rethink your security. Also, I bet it's just as easy for you to accidentally whitelist a bad actors as to blacklist a good one. What am I missing here?

You're missing the point. The effective tax rate of many billionaires is lower than ours. "Musk with a fortune of $244 billion, paid an average effective tax rate of 24% from 2018 to 2020". In other years it was as low as 3%[2].

I too found that interesting that Apple's Neural Engine doesn't work with local LLMs. Seems like Apple, AMD, and Intel are missing the AI boat by not properly supporting their NPUs in llama.cpp. Any thoughts on why this is?

Very interesting model. Some key points from the blog:
* NVIDIA is also releasing most of the data they used to create it, including the pretraining corpus
* The model uses a hybrid architecture consisting primarily of Mamba-2 and MLP layers combined with just four Attention layers. For the architecture, please refer to the Nemotron-H tech report. The model was trained using Megatron-LM and NeMo-RL.
At this size and with only 4 attention layers, it should run very fast locally on cheap 12GB GPUs.

Higgs Audio V2 is an advanced, open-source audio generation model developed by Boson AI, designed to produce highly expressive and lifelike speech with robust multi-speaker dialogue capabilities.
Some Highlights:
* Trained on 10M hours of diverse audio — speech, music, sound events, and natural conversations
* Built on top of Llama 3.2 3B for deep language and acoustic understanding
* Runs in real-time and supports edge deployment — smallest versions run on Jetson Orin Nano
* Outperforms GPT-4o-mini-tts and ElevenLabs v2 in prosody, emotional expressiveness, and multi-speaker dialogue
* Zero-shot natural multi-speaker dialogues — voices adapt tone, energy, and emotion automatically
* Zero-shot voice cloning with melodic humming and expressive intonation — no fine-tuning needed
* Multilingual support with automatic prosody adaptation for narration and dialogue
* Simultaneous speech and background music generation — a first for open audio foundation models
* High-fidelity 24kHz audio output for studio-quality sound on any device
* Open source and commercially usable — no barriers to experimentation or deployment

How is this the trolley problem for someone with a terminal disease? I assume the sick population are the people in the trolley and the experimental patient is the person on the track? In this scenario, by not pulling the lever you just extend the life of the people on the trolley to the end of the ride for a dangerous drug. Where as, pulling the level could save the life of the person on the track and the people in the trolley if the drug is successful.
What am I missing? For non-terminal diseases, it's a bit murkier, but still I don't follow the analogy.

Why don't recommend atop? When a system is unresponsive, I want a I want a high-level tool that immediately shows which subsystem is under heavy load. It should show CPU, Memory, Disk, and Network usage. The other tools you listed are great, once you know what the cause is.

All of the features descried in the article are supported by clang except maybe for the constexpr keyword. By your own list, neither one supports all the features. Also, gcc only supports about 4 or 5 features more than gcc, and clang supports a few gcc doesn't. Hardly "much better".

For the Internet as a whole, yes, but not for this narrow case of legitimate news organizations. If Facebook could have building full of moderators to review flagged content on their site, Google could easily fix this issue with a team to handle reports of low quality AI content. Not to mention, how most of these sites sprung up out of nowhere. That should already be a red flag for the algorithm to de-rank until a human could review. And the example of reworded blog spam with identical photos, posted at a later date, again, should be trivial for a team that cared to catch manually(flagged) or through an algorithm.
It's not over, unless Google doesn't care enough about Google News to fix it.
