  • Not just LLMs but all kinds of models are equlvant to freeware, aka the model itself and other essential bits for it to work. I won't even call it source avaliable as there is no source.

    Take redis as example. I can still go grab the source and compile a binary that works. This doesn't applies on ML models.

    Of course one can argue the training process isn't determistic thus even with the exact training corpus, it can't create the same model in terms of bits on mulitple runs. However, I would argue the same corpus provide the chance to train a model of similar or equivalent performance. Hence the openness of the training corpus is an absolute neccessary to qualify a model being FOSS.







  • Consider the level privacy of an interoperable / federated network is only as good as the node with the lowest level of privacy. The moment you connect to Meta infra, you're feeding it data, including but not limited to who you talked with, when you online, your message frequency, and possibly a whole lot more. Then they can start linking other bits to form a complete profile of you.

    It is just slightly better than installing WA., and also part of tge reasons why many Mastodon and Lemmy server refuse to federate with Meta Threads.



  • So you want self hosted? And what you mean by changing the encryption? Changing the encryption protocol and encryption algorithm are two different thing. OMEMO is kind of de facto for XMPP. Last I checked it seems doesn't let you choose the cipher suite like TLS 1.2 dies. You can spin another if you gave the capability to do so but not recommend.

    And whatelse you want to tweek?


  • There is always a cost to security. How much you and your recipent ready to pay?

    And, what you mean by "secure"? E2EE is basic. How about meta data? Or resilient to DPI? How about correlation attacks?

    There can be a milion factors that can contribute to security. You can have it all but I don't know if such thing exist or not. For each factor, you gain some security but loss some in other places. You need to pick and choose what you need.

    tofitnessTreadmill recommendations?

    Are you just looking to do walking? If so it might be worth considering a walking pad

    Yes, this is primary use case. I though they all call treadmill. Do you have few brands/model recommend? I dont want to buy a ramdom bramd on Amazon and broken in a few uses.

    generally speaking the higher the horsepower, the longer your treadmill will last

    Thanks for the tips.










  • There's one issuse: Not everybody has the capacity to interpret the lengthy legal document. While being reasonable, when was your last time sit down and have a good read of the EULA and other related documents? These documents are designed to be difficult to read, and often intertwined with legal concepts that most don't understand. That's why lawyers exist.

    Then the next question is: should a product a consumer bought (not lease) be completely dysfunctional after a undefined period of time? Is the petition asking for the servers operate indefinitely regardless of revenue? No. The petition is asking to not make the game completely unusable after a server shut down because of an always online DRM or something alike. The online part can go away and we can all enjoy the offline campaign like 10 years down the road. I don't think this is a request unreasonable to make.

    Your interpretation of such action's legality is valid, but legal is just the minimum bar of ethical, and seems like there is a need to raise the bar.
