Ensuring that you can do exactly that means the barrier for switching is significantly lower.

Also Guild Wars 1 has been receiving new content updates this year.

The easiest way I have found is to use LM Studio, grab the model you want, and point whatever tooling you're using at the local exposed API.

You will have to configure the model params (temperature, etc) a bit to get the style you're expecting but it works decently well for me.

Obviously not the largest, up-to-date models but for what I expect most people use them for, even on hn, there are some shockingly good models that dont require €4k machines.

I have a desktop with an AMD 6900XT and 5600 with 32GB ram. Obviously no slouch but its several years old at this point. I can comfortably run qwen 3.5 9b and get a speedy 60 token/sec output with decent results.

A lot of banks in Germany still offer photoTAN generators. Effectively, a physical device that generates 2FA codes for your login. You can then use the website as usual and use the codes from this instead of phone confirmation. This is one example from ING.[0]

That way you can effectively use most feature phones as your daily drivers. HMD (Nokia) still manufacturers some of them that even come with GPS, etc. There are some feature phones that even run Android but I don't know what app support for things like Spotify is like.

You're not allowed to take out life insurance on someone you don't know or have a relationship (business or otherwise) with.

Life insurance on a business partner works. Life insurance on your spouse as well.

Life insurance on the leader of a random country? Unlikely

If not, time for a charge back with your card provider.

La Liga sued Cloudflare in Spanish court and won. Cloudflare now starts taking down content that directly violates La Ligas copyright, but mainly only in Spain. It looks like Cloudflare will happily still serve the exact same content outside of Spain.

In response to these court rulings, the got the US government involved and now there is talk of this being a digital trade barrier.

From a moral/ethic one, its still shit.

You're legally allowed to do a whole lot of things. You can still be called an asshole for doing them.

No, it means extremely unlikely. Collisions can occur, as op just found out, but the chances are so abysmally small that most people don't care.

Any application I have worked on, I always had a pre-save check to see if the UUID was already present and generate a new one if it was. Don't think it ever triggered unless a bug was introduced somewhere but good practice anyway.

To name one: if you ever connect any headphones with media controls and you accidentally press one of them while no media is playing, it will open up Apple Music. Its convoluted to stop that behaviour.

Its not as bad as Microslop but it does exist.

Data collected across 600.000 vehicles in Europe show that most people don't and that emissions are just a smidge under typical ICE vehicles. If you factor in the high emissions produced during battery productions it looks to be an overall bad package.

The idea itself is certainly good but the real world simply doesn't show it.

Most people don't end up charging their battery because it still has an ICE so why bother? So now they have the worst of both worlds. Complex ICE machinery that needs regular service and heavy battery that doesn't end up being used.

I think they did. They specifically said how a new tool is available and putting things into reach for people that previously wasn't. In the context about creating art, that reads to me like they do mean that prompters are considered the creators.

> Can you consider a movie director to be the creator of a movie? They are just telling other people what to do.

If the "only" thing the director is doing, in the most literal sense, is directing then no, I don't.

I'm not an expert in media production though but from the sparse amount of interviews I have seen a lot also write the scripts and are involved in a lot more than just directing.

I think ultimately this is just something we disagree on :)
