I can recommend the Unhook browser extension. My YouTube start page is empty, I have to actively seek out videos I want to watch.

The focus of this repo is the MI300X and DwarfStar doesn't include any optimizations/fixes for it.

> How are you sure that what big ai is doing is “the increase in knowledge of human kind”?

The OP didn't say that.

The Facebok Container extension also makes containers available.

I think you missed the /s (for sarcasm) at the end.

This is being heavily pushed by certain actors so it's not just politicians wanting to do something about CSAM: https://balkaninsight.com/2023/09/25/who-benefits-inside-the...

It's still objectionable with a false positive rate of 50-80%.

Go with reputable publishers (e. g. O'Reilly or No Starch Press) and you will get quality books.

This is about Chat Control 1.0 (voluntary scanning).

> Because the entire reason we are here is due to the fact that harms to kids are on the other end of the scale.

If that's a "fact", where is the proof? What harms are there that can only be addressed with age verification and not in any other way?

> Dismissing the harms [...]

This is a strawman you've created.

> Defending privacy effectively means plugging the root cause it is being encroached.

Defending privacy means defending privacy, not submitting to nefarious interests and well-meaning but misled followers.

> This is being articulated as a defense of privacy when it originates from social media harms to kids.

Social media can be dangerous to kids, I don't see anyone disputing that. The dispute is around the solution to this issue.

How did you come to the conclusion that advocating for privacy is at odds with protecting users? I'd argue the opposite is true.

At that price point you could also go with a Tenstorrent Galaxy Blackhole, which starts at $110,000.

This assumes good faith, which doesn't match reality. It's about control, not protecting children.

Also age verification is still a problem in itself. Given your idea of a physical card, kids will find a way to use the card of their parents. Even if the card couldn't be misused by others - you give platforms the knowledge of whom is a minor, which means they can be targeted better.

Putting timing belts in oil was quite a bad idea from them though.

I've had great success with OpenCode Go and DeepSeek v4 Flash for Terraform code refactorings and extensions. It's cheap enough to pay it yourself ($5 first month, $10 afterwards). Ideally you provide the model a feedback loop (e. g. passing tests) so it can safely iterate.

I'd love to too, but I guess Crescent Island with 480 GB will cost something like $10-12k or even more.

Every now and then there are some people who try to innovate in this space. Example: The guys from corsairpower (https://corsairpower.com/) who put a marine engine in a Cessna 172. However, it seems like they get stuck because of small market size, regulations and incumbents who don't want the status quo to change.
