Thanks

Could you link to the post / bot account this is about?

Network effect / discoverability and free CI time

True, I understand why this is better than all those companies scraping it individually (for both ability to opt out and site load), but the way they handled opt out is still quite silly.

Better than that

Deepseek recently published a paper in which they describe that vision tokens contain more information than text tokens and that this can be used to compress context.

We present DeepSeek-OCR as an initial investigation into the feasibility of compressing long contexts via optical 2D mapping.

Experiments show that when the number of text tokens is within 10 times that of vision tokens (i.e., a compression ratio < 10×), the model can achieve decoding (OCR) precision of 97%. Even at a compression ratio of 20×, the OCR accuracy still remains at about 60%. This shows considerable promise for research areas such as historical long-context compression and memory forgetting mechanisms in LLMs.

It reminds me of LLM caveman speak, it used to have another option to use Chinese instead of English. A language like Chinese is seemingly better at encoding information in fewer tokens and I think this is the same mechanism why OCR tokens work so well.

That said, I also doubt that voice messages are more efficient than text prompts, but it’s best not to waste too much time engaging with these sorts of LinkedIn posts (and LinkedIn in general).

It’s being downvoted with relatively little discourse because it’s an insult with no relevance to the topic, in addition to supporting a comment from someone who is either trolling or has no idea what they’re talking about

Have you tried Tweakers Vraag & Aanbod yet?

It’s not that bad. A lot of our servers at work use Windows. It certainly took some getting used to as someone who has been using Linux on all their devices, but it does work.

I see a lot of responses mentioning optimistic /absurdistic nihilism, so I’d like to share the egg.

Fun fact: the author also wrote “The Martian”

Yes, Reddit and Discord

Follow up, do people still buy calendars?

Buy? Yes, several times

Use? No

Interesting, I never knew what that strange monospaced font was

I haven’t

I feel like I often recognize others, but I obviously can’t tell who I don’t recognize 🤷

A belief without anything to base it off? CPU’s shouldn’t have tried so hard to get faster and should just have gotten more cores a decade ago. Why bother with fancy branch prediction systems to make one thing faster than it should when it’s switching between hundreds of tasks anyway.

Assuming reliability is the priority I would suggest going with Tailscale Funnels or a cheap VPS acting as intermediary.

I don’t have a lot of experience with dealing with GCNAT, but perhaps you could look into some solution with UPnP or RFC 6887.

object_store does indeed also support WebDAV among a variety of other protocols, Apache Druid or Apache Pinot probably would be better examples. My only experience with WebDAV is with Nextcloud and hasn’t been that great because it has been very slow, probably should look into it sometime.

EDIT: Apparently it supports CAS, and even has a locking mechanism

Scaleway, Exoscale, Cyso, Contabo, UpCloud, and others too

Many cloud providers offer S3-compatible storage, so it’s a common protocol to use in applications. There are even some databases like SlateDB that fully rely on object storage for everything. Supporting more API’s is extra work (unless you’re using OpenDAL) so most people pick S3 compatible API’s because they’re the most widely supported across all cloud platforms.
