Nah locally is fine, if you have a good 6ghz coverage, but that means a hotspot in every second room

There are not? So Lyft and bolt do not exists?

Same with Salesforce, there are a few hundred alternatives

Then you have access to better models then I do (4.6/5.3)

The code is mostly not bad, but most programmers i have worked with write far better code.

I mean, if you tell a chain of 100 humans to redraw a a picture i would expect it to go similar, just much faster

I would argue the opposite..

What you get right now is mass replicated software, just another copy of sap/office/Spotify/whatever

That software is not made individually for you, you get a copy like millions of other people and there is nearly no market anymore for individual software.

Llms might change that, we have a bunch of internal apps now for small annoying things..

They all have there quirks, but are only accessible internally and make life a little bit easier for people working for us.

Most of them are one shot llms things, throw away if you do not need it anymore or just one shoot again

A local business is not using AWS usually but shoppify or Odo or whatever hosting provider provides a management wp.

And at least here in Germany, they are nickel an dimming on the hosting cost.

To be fair, i have never seen a business with a 500$ monthly cloud bill, AWS seems to start around 10k given or taken for a light production workload

The last comparison I did was Hetzner offers 14x the performance per dollar

Not including the faster SSD & included traffic

> Surveillance has relevance to core CCC/hacking topics (privacy is a central topic against which hackers fight)

Great, who exactly is making those rules for all hackers?

People have complained about this for atleast the last 15 years where I have been active, to political, not political enough.

Stop complaining, start creating.

The linked surveillance talk has nearly 0 references to computers and is all about media/reporting

Love that you complain about not enough people breaking the law and somewhere below complains about to many people breaking the law

Let's be real, the videos get far to much eyes to break the law. There are smaller talks and groups where it looks different.

Complex data analytics of political relevant topics have nothing to with hacking? With source code and data available to play with?

I would love to know what you would think would be more fitting talks?

How is it computer adjacent, keep in mind, it's a talk about how the media communicates things...

Surveillance was the political topic of 2020, so there was quite a few talks about that, migration is the political topic 2025, so there are a lot of talks about that

There are also other unrelated things which do not have a lot to do with computers, like "all creatures welcome".

The event that starts with "die Sprache der überwacher"

That's non political?

Such talks have been part of ccc for decades?

I am getting more and more confused
