So quite literally worse than a coin flip, then.

Streaming lossless audio will use up three to six times as much data, along with the higher processing demands to play them back, so there’s always a penalty involved. We didn’t invent codecs for no reason.

Based on the vibes of every internet comment field, literally everyone and their mother wants to stream lossless.

You’re right about the audible benefits however

I have no idea what they think this will accomplish, to be honest. It has the legal value of posting on Facebook that you don’t allow them to use your photos.

I recently picked up a GMKtec NUC for around $100 off of AliExpress. It uses very little power and is very powerful for the price.

It doesn’t have a speaker and the opportunities for upgrades are a bit limited, but otherwise I think it might be suitable for you.

I run it as a media server at home without any issues at all

On top of this, the AI jobs are paying some flat-out ridiculous rates.

Like, millions of dollars up-front in signing bonuses kind of ridiculous

Skill issue. Cope and seethe

I got a GMKtec G3.

I suppose I never actually had a good experience with Amazon to be able to compare against.

You’d be surprised, actually. You have to be careful, yes - the default option is that you get crap - but all of the high-quality cycling gear/running gear/variety consumer electronics I’ve scored is a testament to the possibility of getting great stuff.

Honestly, it’s baffling how good some of the stuff you can get off of AliExpress is, especially when taking the low price into account.

My ~$100 N100 server is a testament to that. Just need to score some additional storage for it

You know macOS ships with a terminal ootb, right? There’s a reason it’s a massively popular option for devs.

As I understand it, Google mostly ships new stuff that they let die because it’s one of the only ways to get a promotion at Google - to ship a product.

Once shipped, the newly promoted staff moves on to something else, and the business people take a look and see if the product actually makes any sense from a financial perspective, which is rarely the case.

SSL is not the tool you need in this case, although you should obviously already be running exclusively on encrypted traffic.

The problem here is one of access rights - you should not make files default-available for anyone that can figure out the file name to the particular file in the bucket. At the very least, you need to be using signed URLs with a reasonably short expiration, and default all other access to be blocked.

Language models are unsuitable for math problems broadly speaking. We already have good technology solutions for that category of problems. Luckily, you can combine the two - prompt the model to write a program that solves your math problem, then execute it. You’re likely to see a lot more success using this approach.

I don’t think OpenAI maintains any data centers, they run all of their stuff on Azure.

I believe it’s mostly illegal for both parties, but in practice less often enforced for the downloading party, as this enforcement would require too much resources for the enforcing side.

To give concrete examples, downloading pirated material is illegal in both the U.S and in Sweden, and afaik the latter is on par with the rest of the EU.

Residential wind for electricity generation is not really recommendable afaik, but it could be viable for some amount of heat generation, potentially: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2019/02/heat-your-house-with-a-mechanical-windmill/

Oh shit, my bad. Yeah, hard agree there

Additionally, the platform being owned by an outright Nazi should give even the most out of touch people pause.

How is Daniel Ek a nazi? That’s a wild take if I’ve ever heard one.

I use Rectangle whenever I need to do some tiling go decent effect.
