Definitely not for the biggest ones. Google and Meta have so many machines in their data centers that IPv6 addressing becomes a technical necessity due to the risk of exhausting the RFC 1918 address space. Naturally, they were early adopters of IPv6.


Someone’s marketing emails are someone else’s spam.

Mailchimp is specifically made for mass email emission, for marketing a newsletter and whatnot. So yeah, a lot of people will consider them spammers.


Not quite every week, but yeah it has a lot. And if the target uses sudo at all you don't even need an exploit!

But nobody mentioned Linux. There's no need for whataboutism. They both shouldn't have these vulnerabilities.


I managed to run a council using OpenClaw twice a day of different models that would discuss my personal projects, and send me to telegram ideas or suggestions for the next steps. It was quite cool and got very nice insights, but was burning tokens like crazy, so I stopped it.

I got a human being at Google to look into my problem and take action after sending a police report to Google‘s legal department certified mail return receipt along with a letter describing how someone was impersonating me and my business using a Gmail address in an attempt to commit fraud.

Yes, it was a pain to take all of these steps and it probably took about 3 hours but it was absolutely necessary considering there was no avenue for me to shut down this person otherwise.


Isn't the joke that everything is open source if you can read assembly? Pretty sure someone is working on an AI that reads assembly... Not sure hiding the codebase away is a viable solution!

> - I have an automation that rolls everything on my todo list over to the next day at 11:59pm

I use Daily Notes in Obsidian as my TODO list and I roll over the unfinished tasks daily. I started doing it manually, then had NanoClaw do it, then after multiple cases of NanoClaw “forgetting” to do it or accidentally running multiple times (apparently “once a day” was too complicated for it), I vibe coded a cron job which was great unless my computer was asleep or similar, so finally I vibe coded a obsidian plugin so that the first time I open my daily note on my phone or computer it will copy over my tasks while leaving behind anything I added to the daily note (aka my scratch pad).

The first 1-2 times NanoClaw did it for me it felt magical. I knew I could do it on a cron but it took me only a minute to explain what I wanted and while I knew it was massive overkill (to use an LLM to do want a simple script could do) I found it acceptable. That is, until it started messing it up.

I’m not saying this is the case for you but I feel like some people see Open/Nano/WhateverClaw do something right a single time and gush about it but I have zero confidence in its ability to reliably and consistently do these things. My task for it was incredibly simple, in fact it was the ONLY thing I asked it to do really, and it failed miserably.



I was getting spam called constantly every 5 minutes (blocked by Google call screening) and the attackers made an error if sending a message with their AWS bucket url. I was able to submit an abuse report to Amazon and puff Amazon dismantled the entire spam group. No more spam since then.

Maybe try saying the spam has porn or inappropriate images?


Sure. Their are plenty of theoretical way to do it, and even example of small communities that have put them in practice.

Looks very similar to the situation of proved correct code: it just never reached mass adoption and fail to win at scale when crappier alternative can propagate faster and occupy the ecological niche, that can then alter the ecosystem in ways that makes even less likely the most sound approach could gain enough traction and momentum to scale.


If I can make a product suggestion, Backboard has a part of the interface that shows excluded folders. This should explicitly call out the Dropbox folder as being excluded. The software update that removed support for this should’ve included a pop-up that said “Dropbox is no longer being backed up” (though candidly if this pop-up existed on my dad’s machine and he didn’t see it, my mistake).

My frustration stems from paying hundreds of dollars over several years to pay for backup and then silently learning Dropbox was no longer supported when we went to look for it in our backup. We could’ve made other choices about how to store/bavkup our own files with better communication.


I worked with the internet society to mobitor ipv6 adoption for the top million sites ipv6matrix.org it's broken down by country so might answer some of your curiosity

It also means you're excluding China, who has has it as a long-term priority to deploy IPv6 and have made huge strides.

The BBC actually has an official "Pronunciation Unit", which tells people like newsreaders the "proper" way to pronounce words and placenames. Unfortunately, particularly in the latter case they often get it wrong. For example, my late Dad was born in a small West Yorkshire town called Sowerby Bridge, which the unit insists should be said Sourbee Bridge. Everyone, without exception, who lives there knows it is Sorebee Bridge. Writing in to the BBC complaining about this and many other similar errors is a popular hobby.

All of those options were either too slow, or didnt work for me (Mac with Intel). I could have spent hours googling, but I downloaded Ollama and it just worked.

So no, they are not alternatives to ollama


Can someone reconcile for me the constant chatter about how IPv6 isn't getting impemented, versus this result that more than half of all traffic (as measured by google) is now IPv6?

It sounds to me like its a tool which is available to be used when needed and when no better workarounds exist, and it is slowly but surely being adopted as needed.



One defender, many attackers, I don't see how the economy of scale can be positive for the defender.

Assuming your code is inaccessible isn't good for security. All security reviews are done assuming code source is available. If you don't provide the source, you'll never score high in the review.


Well exactly. I sort of already trust Anthropic with my PII. And that's ... maybe not ok actually. But it's a single failure surface?

Trusting Anthropic, rightly or wrongly, is still not the same as trusting Anthropic, AND Persona AND All Persona's partners AND their Partners ad infinitum.

And maybe Persona is actually ok, they might be? But it's still an extra surface.

It's fairly common sense blast radius minimization. I know there's a lot of negative propaganda from some corners, but that's part of the actual theory behind GDPR.


The best way to predict the future is to look at the past. Humans have been living and working in the 3-D world since the dawn of time, we’ve worked with paper for thousands of years, we’ve only been working at screens for about 40 years. Technology to remove technology, such as this, is brilliant.

This is bizarre! When you call ANA from Australia they have multiple dedicated 1800 (free) numbers you can reach them at, including a call centre in the Philippines for simple issues that picked up straight away for me. I wonder why they're so much more customer hostile in their own geography?

> Notwithstanding the fact that there's about zero difference between `ollama run model-name` and `llama-cpp -hf model-name`

There is a TON of difference. Ollama downloads the model from its own model library server, sticks it somewhere in your home folder with a hashed name and a proprietary configuration that doesn't use the in built metadata specified by the model creator. So you can't share it with any other tool, you can't change parameters like temp on the fly, and you are stuck with whatever quants they offer.


Imagine the mechanical gears behind this if it was an analogue watch. So many funky curved gears in there.

Ah yes, the bands that can gather more than 1000 fans at a concert are all Taylor Swifts.

One of my favorite bands I've listened to since their first album is First Aid Kit. On their 10th anniversary they had several sold-out concerts at Globen [1] in Stockholm. Should've I just stopped immediately once they crossed the threshold of 100 fans worldwide? But they are a local band, they are Swedish.

I've noticed that subconsciously, I've started to use `bat` for interactive paging, even though that's not its main use case

I try to fly with Skymark when I can because their website is gloriously basic in the best way possible, it's like barebones server-rendered HTML. And you can book your ticket without payment being in the critical flow. You get like 24 hours to pay and that removes SO much stress from booking airline tickets. I hope they never change or "modernize" it with some shitty JS framework.

Spain: 9.9%

What's going on in Spain?


Google does not let you store your home and work address without storing everywhere you go on Google Maps. So indeed, no chance.

I don't think this is accurate. According to the New York Times¹ (among numerous other sources), the government has defied court orders at least a small double-digit number of times.

"At least 35 times since August, federal judges have ordered the administration to explain why it should not be punished for violating their orders in immigration cases."
