6. AI company hijacks your processes, trade secrets, and market to offer the same thing for cheaper than you can. Raises rates for competitors to cover its own token use and simultaneously drive the others out of business.

yeah, well, this is what I mean by the inherent problems. The open models still hallucinate, they are still probability-driven. Even when guided by RAG and other precautions, it still is only as good as those supporting elements can offer (assuming they are high-quality themselves).

On balance, I do not understand how this kind of tool will help officers in the field unless it is to advise on procedures for the officer to follow. Not trying to interpret situations as offenses or not, not trying to be a pocket legal interpreter.

I only suggest that whomever decided to try this for VicPD is being supported by a LLM geek that probably at least cares how well the models are performing. They seem to understand what kind of safeguards should exist for this type of thing to exist in this space… I personally doubt its good enough, but I rather see this than ChatGPT.

It sounds like they are running self-hosted Ollama with custom RAG.

If I believe Vic PD description of what they’ve made available, its probably one of the best possible situations. Someone who knows LLMs and understand what they are has created a relatively thoughtful implementation, its not just because some braindead executive wants to get in bed with Google.

It still has a lot of the problems and should be scrutinized heavily, but at least they aren’t piping their data into Grok or anyone else for that matter.

Yes, agree.

Specifically, ChatGPT-flavoured slop on this article

Cool. How does he plan to male that happen?

By acting like a cunty little bitch? Because thats been really effective so far.

Failing in Ukraine… so Russia will now also provoke a heavily armed NATO country, and neighbour to Ukraine: Poland.

No. Serious doubt this is real.

Yeah, maybe. Could be a work around for some devices that will support it. I don’t see why not.

Oh, so you agree with me then? This is effectively the problem that I’m pointing to.

We have so many natural resourced that we could make into products. The wholesale of raw materials to other countries is the stupidity.

Just stop all that. We can, and should, make high-quality goods.

Yeah most routers will allow you to configure the traffic policy through their admin console. Some of the ISPs equipment won’t, if that’s all you’re using.

Lots of good suggestions.

The simplest answer assumes you have a router with a firewall that you can configure.

The basic idea is a deny rule targeting the ‘source’ IP address from reaching the ‘destination’ ip addresses.

There are various ways to do this, the best way will be very precise. Some folks have said separate VLAN, very good practice but not required. Some folks suggest pihole, thats really hit or miss unless you know your device relies explicitly on DNS and you also know how to manage that.

It will be easies for you to learn the basic traffic policy before proceeding to other more advanced suggestions, but you will have to probably at least learn that bit of network security to attempt this task. Low difficulty in the grand scheme of things networky.

Moron-worshipping cult of troglodytes.

Translation. Better performance on Linux.

I will load up Cyberpunk 2077 and judge for myself.

OK. Well then pay cheeto-man his bribe and get your own subsidy. it’s not hard to figure it out.

TLDR:

On Linux, older AMD GPUs will benefit from stability enhancements

What a difficult article to parse; must be man made.

Yes. I had one on my ankle last year. I think I paid $200. That wasn’t even to the hospital, is was for my crutches and aircast at the pharmacy.

When it launched, I had it Day 1 on PS4.

It was fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccked. Crashing, performance was shit, bugs galore, janky textures. There were a lot of people who ended up with a dogshit product from a playability perspective.

I played through it and beat it while it was still in rough shape, because I loved it so much anyway. Obviously, it improved later and it ran well when I upgraded to PS5 (and better when there was a PS5 version released). This game is currently on my PC, because I bought it again just to keep playing it there. It runs great on Linux.

CDPR used to just be a name you trusted because they built a reputation. They hurt their rep with the launch for CP2077, especially after their marketing “Out when it’s ready.” But they have also done the woork to rebuild it, we’ll see with Witcher 4. Big promises to fulfill for that one.

I feel like its a green flag, seeing that cartoon jackal-girl pop up with the magnifying glass for a second.

It’s surely not universally the case but it’s a positive sign to me.

YES

Cloudflare is the SSL/TLS endpoint between you and the application.

When you use Cloudflare, data is encrypted between a client and Cloudflare (using ‘their’ SSL cert), they unencrypt it and inspect so they can process it, caching etc, then it’ can be encrypted between Cloudflare and the backend using your own backend certificate.

So Cloudflare can see everything, its required for them to do what they do
