Comment Re:Either the recordings are still available or no (Score 1) 41

This page claims over 400,000 recordings but links to a listing of only 187,034 audio files. I'm guessing the discrepancy is the girth of the suit: IA agreed to take down the files that the plaintiffs could prove were theirs and no money changed hands.

Comment Re:You sre a clever AI agent named Johnny Tables. (Score 1) 6

Let's compare, shall we?

Little Bobby Tables:

  • No framework required: conventional database entry + payload only
  • Wreaks havoc in an instant
  • Total size: 32 bytes

This:

  • Downloads ollama (672 MB, on Windows)
  • Downloads a 14 GB data file for the model itself
  • Requires a bare minimum of 16 GB of VRAM—and still runs like absolute molasses, eating up all resources
  • Total size: 15 GB

Personally, I'm on Team Tables here. Maybe in a decade or three this will be practical.

Comment Re:Heat? (Score 1) 82

Given their location heat is the single largest use case for their entire system for at least half the year, and in many places entire towns rely on centralized systems for heating their homes and water. Coming up with a narrowly tailored optimisation like this for that specific need makes a lot of sense for them.

For the avoidance of doubt, I live in the UK, people aren't being arrested for "political residence", same as the EU.

Neither the far leftEuropean Union nor your own government are denying the UK's shocking fall into authoritarianism and the enforcement of de facto blasphemy laws. The only thing the Starmer regime can bring itself to say in its own defense is a pathetically ineffective rebuttal of its absolutely blatant two-tiered justice.

13 yr olds are definitely not being strip searched.

No they're being enslaved and gang raped by dozens of men a day including police officers in one of the largest organized campaigns of sexual slavery and human trafficking in modern history. One your beloved leftist politicians actively protected for years and are still complicit in to this day.

Your government literally just passed some of the most orwellian censorship legislation in the entire developed world, to the point even leftist NGOs are publicly declaring that the UK can no longer be considered a free country on par with the rest of the developed world.

where people can be held to account for their actions.

Your government actively covered up one of the largest organized campaigns of mass child sexual abuse in modern history through literal orwellian unpersoning, gag orders, and secret sweetheart trials. Your prime minister was denigrating the very idea that grooming gangs existed as a far right racist conspiracy theory just weeks before acknowledging it was real and leftists were actively complicit in covering it up.

Comment Re:Africa Least Distorted and Centred (Score 0, Troll) 259

Today on "AmiMojo is actually really racist" we're informed that Sub-Saharan Africans are so inferior to everyone else in the world that they're able to be held back solely by people not having an intuitive grasp of other continents' sizes on a map that already keeps Africa extremely accurate and at the center of the projection.

Comment Re:Easier than what? (Score 1) 259

Yeah, there aren't a lot of popular map projections that fail that test, unless you perhaps count the polar projection used for the UN logo. I'm guessing that sentence is there as a result of editing; perhaps it originally said equally-spaced parallels (which is true of the Robinson projection) but someone math-savvy was consulted to correct the claim to its current form (without seeing the context) and the maintainer of the page wasn't knowledgeable enough to realise it should just be removed.

And which civilized countries are those? Britain? Where about a thousand people a month get arrested as a sanctioned form of state repression for political dissidents? The EU? Where they just said journalists can be arrested if it's in the "public interest"?
