Remember SETI?

Maybe we should serve the bots a problem worth solving and benefit both parties. They spend some energy/tokens on a problem and we pay them with content.

If only I had a bot problem, this would be interesting to explore.

What else would you expect from a "majority" of US educated geeks?

Btw, are you using GPUs/TUs at all for local inference? I've been exploring what hardware options exist outside of Nvidia.

Re:Vinyl Cache and Varnish Cache on Thursday June 18, 2026 @08:31AM (#48584353)
"Vinyl cache" is an interesting name. I wonder what other candidates the maintainers considered? I was secretly hoping they would name it "Veneer Cache" or something similar to "varnish".

Wow, credit to the safeguard team. I submitted my request about an hour ago to the cyber verification program and just now was approved.
Re:Claude Fable 5 on Wednesday June 10, 2026 @10:13AM (#48476607)
The safeguards of fable are blocking me on almost every task. I would like to see if fable is improved over opus for reverse engineering related work. Back to opus for me.
Right, that makes sense. I assume it happens often as part of the governance process. my original statement could have be better phrased as a question.

What are your thoughts on the general consensus of Nordics views and opinions about the US?

Conan is great!
(Apologies for the bad grammar, my son was born a little over 24 hours ago. I’m choosing not to use a LLM, so you are getting the real me)

Even sovereign funds (example Norway) are invested in American tech, funds, and indexes.

It is interesting to think about (from the perspective of an immigrant to Norway) how I moved my life’s savings from the US to Norway.

I’m now fully invested into Norway (real estate, savings, and retirement).

My understand is that Norwegians (and the nordics) have historically looked up to the US as a world leader.

I think that is no longer true and maybe this decision by Denmark is a data point of how the Nordics are changing?

It kind of feels like we all have been caught holding the bag (US reserve currency) and now we have to carefully unwind our position.

I’ve lost my point. Maybe my goal here is to just contribute to this discussion to distract from the exhaustion.

Re:An Update on GitHub Availability on Wednesday April 29, 2026 @11:26AM (#47949766)
Congrats on finding life outside of AWS. Sucks to hear about all the turmoil going on in the US and at Amazon. I had a great time durning my tenure and almost boomoranged back.
Re:An Update on GitHub Availability on Tuesday April 28, 2026 @07:34AM (#47933021)
When I was at AWS, retail was not yet running on AWS. Has that changed?

Prime video does use some AWS services, but live and on-demand are two entirely different beasts.

Great scene

More like a float with a precision of 18.

Most of us who work in payment systems care a lot about precision and reliability.

Vipps MobilePay is in Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden.

That is almost all Nordic countries, and all of Scandinavia.

What was your experience like trying to integrate with Vipps?

Did GS not want to be involved anymore? I suspect the liability was one of the issues.
