Is there any way to cache the dependency installation step on github actions for example?

I supposed you could cache whatever directory it installs to? Would be great to see an example

Note that these results are specific to gpt-4o so it's unclear how much they generalize.

They note at the end they're also testing "GPT o3, and Claude" but no empircal results are included.

How about the FairPhone running /e/os (which is de-googled)? You can buy it preinstalled directly from Murena.

Although this is not at your target price point. But /e/os can be used on hundreds of android phones (as opposed to GrapheneOS). So you can probably install it on your current phone

> To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it.

For sure this part screams LLM

The actions/checkout repo still doesn't even use immutable releases so I'll believe it when I see it

I cringe whenever I see such an AI generated sentence and unfortunately it devalues the article

I use this extension on desktop and Firefox mobile to block shorts. They also support chrome (idk about chrome mobile).

You can also look at NewPipe on Android if you want an alternative YouTube app rather than web mode. Needless to say it's a real shame you have to work this hard to hide shorts...

I have this board and want to mention that the Armbian image supported for the Orange Pi 5 max seems to work fine as well without modifications. Although I haven't tested much yet besides ssh'ing in over ethernet and doing some basic installations.

New comment by cyberclimb in "Restrictions on house sharing by unrelated roommates"

cyberclimb — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:40:35 +0000

In the Netherlands from what I've seen (at least around Amsterdam) it's almost always forbidden for houses to be rented out to a group of flatmates (e.g. students), some people go so far as to fake relationships to imply they're a couple instead.

I'm not sure if this an actual law but housing listings often imply its forbidden in the neighborhood, they're looking for couples and families with kids.

Hi I'm curious about the encryption system. I found this document https://docs.orbivon.com/getting-started/security#security but wanted to ask where the encryption keys are physically stored and where the decryption happens (server-side vs client side)?

I assume the encryption keys are stored encrypted in your database, but what's the (high level) mechanism for decrypting them? Like is the users' password used at login to temporarily load the encryption key in memory?

Thanks for any insights

Also I like the idea of the encryption but I think the use of LLMs greatly reduces the privacy gained but that's a tradeoff

Hi botirk, really interesting project!

If I build the project what is the output format and how could configure things to boot it?

I know how to this with IMG and ISO files of course but not sure what to do with the build output if it's an executable?

Also any insights into whether this would also boot on an ARM machine? Thanks!

New comment by cyberclimb in "Brazil's government-run payments system has become dominant"

cyberclimb — Tue, 08 Apr 2025 14:31:14 +0000

As a foreigner that visited Brazil for some weeks, I found the ubiquity of the PIX payment system to be a handicap for tourists visiting the country.

PIX is only for locals as you need to register with a CPF (Brazil ID number which is hard and tedious to get as a tourist). I ran into many scenarios where the only option was to pay with PIX and the staff aren't used to tourists and look at you funny when you explain you can't use PIX.

Also beyond PIX, if you try to book buses, planes, or take out a gym membership, while you're within the country, 99% of the time it's shockingly impossible to pay without a CPF, even by credit and debit card. I've even seen this for paying the laundry machine.

I'm sure the PIX system is great for Brazilians, and it was helpful having a local friend to make payments on my behalf, but Brazil really lives in a bubble where it seems a side-effect of their system is making things actively very hard for visitors to operate within the country.
