My home network is split between wired and wireless, they’re on different IP ranges. I have every proper forwarding protocol and UDP sniffing everything set up so that devices can talk to each other across subnets.

It refuses.

So at home I can set it up on Linux to use a static IP to find my phone. And the phone kind of deals with it and works most of the time. But then I go to work and my IPs are the two devices change. Then I’m SOL.

Also if I’m home and I’m roaming onto one of my other networks to talk to security cameras or something it’s incapable of talking to my PC.

Honestly it’s discovery is just bad for me. I really wish that it’s supported a list of IPs, or gave me some kind of client I could run in concert with tail scale or I could move s*** around it’s just absolutely inflexible and for no good reason.

That’s not quite it either.

The model itself is just a giant ball of math. They made a thing that can transform an English through the collected knowledge of much of humanity a few dozen times and have it crap out a reasonable English answer.

The open source part is kind of a misnomer. They explained how they cooked the meal but not the ingredient list.

To complete the analogy, their astounding claim is that they managed to cook the meal with less fire than anyone else has by a factor of like 1000.

But the model itself is inherently safe. It’s not like it’s a binary that can carry a virus or do crazy crap. Even convincing it to do give planned nefarious answers is frankly beyond our capabilities so far.

The dangerous part that proton is looking at and honestly is a given for any hosted AI, is in the hosting server side of things. You make your requests to their servers and then their servers put the requests into the model and return you the output.

If you ask their web servers for information about tiananmen square they will block you.

You can, however, download the model yourself and run it yourself and there’s not any security issues there.

It will tell you anything that you need to know about tiananmen square.

Yeah the article is mostly legit points that if your contacting the chatpot in China it is harvesting your data. Just like if you contact open AI or copilot or Claude or Gemini they’re all collecting all of your data.

I do find it somewhat strange that they only talk about deep-seek hosting models.

It’s absolutely trivial just to download the models run locally yourself and you’re not giving any data back to them. I would think that proton would be all over that for a privacy scenario.

MTP’s not bad anymore. It works perfectly well in Windows Linux and Mac these days and is as fast as anything else.

I have tried to use KDEconnect over and over, It doesn’t work on my work network, it doesn’t work on most of my home network, If my laptop my cell phone come up as different IPs it gets confused. It’s discoverability is just absolutely horrible except for a select number of plain vanilla networks.

The whole market’s about to roll into recession. All the companies are trying to get ahead of their firing before the market goes tits up.

It’s probably a human trafficking hub, his friends check out people.

I liked it back when link aggregators were the go-to for discovery. You could have sites that were real gems that were just tucked away.

I think the indexing started out ok. Counting backlinks and using that as a ranking was pretty genius, right up until people realized they could game the system, then google realized that artificially screwing with their own system was worth money, then the used ads to modify ranking.

ads to modify discoverability the death of free internet

re though. It could very well include subscriptions rather than the actual servicing of their cars? Or maybe both?

true. the report is very very vague

“Web Scrapers: Many web scrapers and bots do not respect robots.txt at all, as they are often designed to extract data regardless of the site’s crawling policies. This can include malicious bots or those used for data mining.”

Your definition of organic traffic is off-standard. When people say organic, they generally mean non-paid, including returns on web search.

The VAST majority of the web would have almost no traffic without web searches. It’s not like people flock to sites from talking about it around the water cooler.

Service being up 30% is a bad thing for the consumer. For a vehicle that doesn’t require much at all in the way of service…

Every other executive and most of the management in the country deals with this. Hell even the lowest level of workers deal with this in the opposite direction. Probably 3/4 of the white collar workforce deals with this.

We’re all working under the same constraints here.

In my immediate private and professional spheres, I have a pretty good idea of who will or will not keep a secret. In that mental list, 10% of it is easily wrong that is highly situation-dependent. Each one of them that would pass the information on has their own private and professional sphere whom they think won’t pass information.

It is simply not possible to pass information to your entire company without expecting it to get out.

It might piss him off but it’s absolutely to be expected. If you want to tell your company that Trump has you by the balls without getting in trouble, you say: We have recently made some very controversial changes to our policies. We as a company do not support these controversial changes and and we are not able to disclose details about the situation, We are being coerced to make these changes, and we really have no choice other than to comply or severely modify the operation of our company.

That right there tells you what’s going on, But in such a vague method that it can’t be reported back to the orange goblin.

Microsoft Probing If DeepSeek-Linked Group Improperly Obtained data the same way OpenAI did. –FTFY

1. Name the company involved a military asset
2. Forbid US companies from hosting the models
3. Pressure foreign companies to not work with them

OMG Competition!

QUICK, they’re a foreign threat! They’re coming right for us!!!

There are chemistries that are less volatile But they’re less energy dense as well.

The biggest problem I see on most of the Chinese stuff is a lack of safety in the battery packs. They’re just mass-producing cells and shoving them together, It wouldn’t be very expensive to put a small battery management system on every cell. Watch each cell for voltage and temperature. Have them shut down when they’re out of safety margins

They’re absolutely is, it’s called onion routing, get around DNS blocks with tor as long as you know where you’re going.

invest in VPN providers

I’m guessing lofgren has already done that

I thought I was smelling some more of that over there lately.
