Oh, I completely understand. It’s just one of the things that’s a relic today and will be weird for the generation that grows up today. Just like the floppy disk symbol for saving or the folder icon for loading.

Although technically correct, that’s not much of an explanation with modern radios.

No, that’s ridiculous.

This Regulation does not apply to the processing of personal data: […] © by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;

As is stated, the call is processed locally in the user’s device. If that holds true, there is no recording and no third party processing going on. Your point does not make sense.

That’s a real world issue. AIs training on each other’s output and devolving because of it. There will be a point when vendors infringing on user content and training their AIs with it will leave them worse off.

It’s easy to train a model to do exactly what you want and have the seeming “personality” that you want. It’s just incredibly expensive. You need to vet and filter everything that you use to train the model. That’s a lot of person hours, days, years. The only reason the models act the way they do is because of the data that went in to train them. If you try and fit the model after the fact, it will always be imperfect and more or less easy to break out of those restrictions.

Also, revolt self hosting is broken. The web call functionality (WebRTC) is being rewritten but that effort is stale and out of the box it simply does not work. There is no real documentation about this either. It just won’t work and you need to invest a lot of effort to figure out why. The moment self hosting properly works, I’ll give it another shot. Not being able to connect without a fat client is a show stopper for me. There’s no way I can get enough traction for my groups if the barrier to switch is higher than a sheet of paper.

When self hosting all the shortcomings you mentioned are perfectly acceptable for me.

If you use much of the software that is included in the support package, then the price seems reasonable. No way you could get the same price if you went to each provider individually. If all you use is bare bones openshift, then you’re right.

Don’t shoot the messenger. The regulations are pretty draconic. I have to ensure the training for that every year.

Seemingly one of the contributors has visited a disputed region and logged into GitHub from there. By law (export controls) Microsoft must not provide service to that place. So some automatism flagged the account and also the organic maps repo. So far so normal. But either Microsoft dragged it’s feet in communicating and resolving the issue or the organic maps team was not doing their part in the process. Doesn’t matter, the outcome is still worth it.

The ship is painted red and a few containers are bolted to it, rather than use provided.

Many of the suggestions in the comments make sense and will work for some children. Just keep in mind that every child is different and during some developmental phases things can shift and change significantly. Just because something worked for other parents, it may do the exact opposite for you. Sometimes being patient and waiting for a phase to pass is the only thing that works. It can take a week or two and in some extreme cases months or even a few years. Also keep in mind that trying something different every day will likely make things worse. Try something and (gently) stick with it for a while before evaluating.

Good luck!

That’s what containers are for. Fucking up the container won’t fuck up the host. That was the best decision in self hosting I’ve done. Even that one virtual machine feels weird and uncomfortably legacy now but it needs to interact with hardware in a certain way that just won’t fully work with docker.

Python doesn’t have to. Windows supports both out of the box. Has been for many, many years

That’s not the case (at least in Germany). Being brain dead does not replace the conscious decision on when to disable life support.

No, I said they hadn’t demonstrated it. But 95% is close enough, I stand corrected.

In that case I stand corrected on the whole orbit bit. Thanks for taking the time.

I didn’t say “a little” money. It may be important or critical for the business but from a technical perspective, demonstrating how it can safely bring loads up and down decides whether the whole concept is actually feasible. That’s when people will start to get excited.

As far as I understood it, SpaceX uses the word “orbit” liberally. If it reaches the hight where an orbit would be possible, that’s “being in orbit” for them. In an actual orbit, the rocket would not fall back down again in an hour or so without active breaking. If my understanding is incorrect, I’m happy to be corrected. And even of that was achieved soon, it’s still all without demonstrating that the starship could actually carry a load and return it safely. Not even an inexpensive dummy load. All SpaceX is showing in their live feeds are empty cargo holds that fill up with hot gases and fumes during reentry.

I think the average person gets it right. It’s a nice feat to catch the booster and it will save money. But that’s a side quest. The main quest of getting an actual load to orbit and beyond is still pretty far away. At least compared with the official time line where they wanted to achieve much more than that three years ago.
