> it’s incompetent but not murder

That is a conclusion

Would love a source

Another great use of a personal VPN - I work at https://www.defined.net (which uses Nebula as the underlying VPN technology) and also personally use our free tier (up to 100 hosts) for everything. Having my Ollama instances available only over my VPN overlay network is very slick.

in my limited testing, qwen3:30b-a3b-instruct-2507-q4_K_M is fast but far less accurate/helpful than gemma3:27b-it-q4_K_M

New comment by andygeorge in "Benzene at 200"

I was a kid when there was a Benzene spill up where I lived at the time (Duluth, MN). I remember having to evacuate to our aunt's house out of town. My dad stayed at home doing yardwork until he felt "a little lightheaded" and finally joined us.

I live in Brooklyn Park and received 5, the last of which lifted the shelter in place order.

I live in Brooklyn Park, as of now we are still under a shelter in place. I don't know exactly where the killed lawmaker lived, but it was right next to my neighborhood. We are advised to not answer the door for police unless there are at least 2 officers present. Wild/scary.

'the gun' by cj chivers is an excellent read, i suggest checking it out

> offering different time intervals

your previous response to the stalking concerns was "it's 4 hours off / 1 hour on, the device is not very suitable for stalking someone"; wouldn't this comment - allowing that to change - then make it even easier for stalkers?

sure but you've acknowledged that your product is something that Apple considers bad and could shut it down. that can usually be overlooked for things like emulation, but you've developed a product that does something Apple specifically added protections against after they learned of its dangerous misuse

> not a high level of stalking

imo no level of stalking is appropriate. while this device might not do everything a stalker wants it to, it surely makes it easier for them

> lack of net neutrality caused issues

given it's all still just regional ISP monopolies, there is decided _not_ a lack of issues

> why is virtual reality associated with small screens and head tracking?

...because that's what it is? surely you understand that the difference between 3D, near-eye displays and traditional 2D screens warrants a different label

i think that ship sailed when smartphones became ubiquitous. given how heavily subsidized mobile devices are (especially compared to PCs), there's no incentive to produce an actually-open hardware or software platform. Google and Apple want you re-upping every 2 years and to stay locked into their ecosystems. i agree this is sad, but definitely not new
