I can’t help, just chiming in to say that I’ve also had that experience with Immich. It’s the one service I’ve used that has somehow managed to break itself multiple times like this.

No idea how it happens, I don’t do anything weird with the setup and it just breaks. I’d heard that feedback from other people too but didn’t believe it until it happened to me. It’s been a few months so maybe I’ll try again, I’m just not too happy importing hundreds of gigs of photos multiple times.

So yea just… you’re not alone, good luck.

Because most people do not understand what this technology is, and attribute far too much control over the generated text to the creators. If Copilot generates the text “Trans people don’t exist”, and Microsoft doesn’t immediately address it, a huge portion of people will understand that to mean “Microsoft doesn’t think trans people exist”.

Insert whatever other politically incorrect or harmful statement you prefer.

Those sorts of problems aren’t easily fixable without manual blocks. You can train the models with a “value” system where they censor themselves but that still will be imperfect and they can still generate politically incorrect text.

IIRC some providers support 2 separate endpoints where one is raw access to the model without filtering and one is with filtering and censoring. Copilot, as a heavily branded end user product, obviously needs to be filtered.

I understand why they need to implement these blocks, but they seem to always be implemented without any way to workaround them. I hit a similar breakage using Cody (another AI assistant) which made a couple of my repositories unusable with it. https://jackson.dev/post/cody-hates-reset/

This showed up on HN recently. Several people who wrote web crawlers pointed out that this won’t even come close to working except on terribly written crawlers. Most just limit the number of pages crawled per domain based on popularity of the domain. So they’ll index all of Wikipedia but they definitely won’t crawl all 1 million pages of your unranked website expecting to find quality content.

I am up to speed on this little drama, but it’s still unclear to me what they’re suing over.

Yea, Honey effectively took over affiliate links. And yes, they were obviously shady (I never used it, because I did not know how they made money). But I don’t quite understand how other people trying to make money from affiliate links have a real claim against them.

Or is this just a case of the influencers realizing they have the moral high ground and the public’s ear, and wanting a pay out?

The 3DS has a screen that size?

Edit: I’m dumb, I made this comment thinking this alarm clock was a watch…somehow. It definitely looks like the sameish size screen

That’s cool. Personally I just integrated it into my normal chat client by connecting Aichat, which supports a ton of backends including Ollama and hosted options, with Matrix.

Do you think that Amazon gets its content (movies on Prime video) for free? Or do you think that piracy sites pay for their content (stolen movies on torrent sites)?

Edit: To answer you more directly, YouTube pays creators a cut of the ad revenue, and Amazon/Netflix pay the movie/show creators through licensing deals.

That just makes sense though? The legit sites have to pay for, fund, or in some way support the content which does cost money. The piracy sites obviously don’t have that cost so they don’t need as much income.

The piracy sites also pay a lot less in infra, since they rely on the user to store, seed to others, and serve the content to the local users. All that infra is offloaded to the user.

That is a lot of effort to go through to avoid using a VPN.

That’s somewhat similar to the plot of the movie Plan 75.

“In a dystopian alternate reality, the Japanese government creates a program called “Plan 75” that offers free euthanasia services to all Japanese citizens 75 and older in order to deal with its rapidly aging population.”

What could content creators switch to that would save your own bandwidth?

Yea, too many people won’t realize that they are just the on-call person fixing it.

You realize Nikocado has over 4 million subscribers, plus another million on his second channel? It’s not like there’s just a small handful of people who engage with this person.

Hmm, I could have sworn I had code for this but I’m not able to find it. I wrote a DLX impl many years ago and used it for a few things, and I wrote several different sudoku solvers, but I don’t seem to have ever used my DLX impl to solve sudoku puzzles…

What you need to do is create a row for every possible entry and location in the puzzle. So you will have a row representing every single possible entry option. 9 options x 81 total squares = 729 total rows.

The columns in your Exact Cover Matrix represent all the different constraints, where each column must be unique in the solution.

• You’ll have 81 columns that represent just the location (you can only have 1 number in each of the 81 boxes).
• For every Row/Column in the Sudoku Puzzle, you will have 9 columns to represent the 9 different numbers. (e.g you can only have a single “5” in every Row of the Sudoku)
• For every 3x3 box in the Sudoku puzzle, you’ll also have 9 columns for the 9 different numbers.

So your Exact Cover Matrix will need 324 columns = 81 (squares) + (9 (numbers) * 9 (rows)) + (9 (numbers) * 9 (cols)) + (9 (numbers) * 9 (boxes))

When you fill out all the rows, you’ll place 1’s in all the columns that that specific entry aligns with. Take the example of the row corresponding to the entry “5” in the Sudoku Puzzles top left box. That row in your Exact Cover Matrix will contain:

• A 1 in the column representing that specific box.
• A 1 in the column that represents the number 5 in the first Sudoku Row.
• A 1 in the column representing the number 5 in the first Sudoku Column.
• A 1 in the column representing the number 5 in the top left Sudoku Box.
• 0’s everywhere else

To feed a specific puzzle into your solver, it kinda depends on the solver, you just need to force the output to contain those specific rows.
