Technology@lemmy.world•Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.English
3·7 days agoAgreed. The US can access/subpoena any data it wants from US companies, even if the servers they host the data on are in Europe or Asia or…
It doesn’t matter where the servers and the data is located. It matters who posses (or controls the access) to it.
Fun fact: Did you know that the dose of 400mg is the ceiling if your goal is to lower pain and higher doses only affect other effects (e.g. being anti-inflammatory) of ibuprofen (and it’s unwanted side effects, too)?

6·7 days agoYeah, but if I understand that correctly, that’s just for the app itself the LLM is very likely still a proprietary one (ChatGPT, Grok,…)

Ok, I’m not a native English speaker but… I have the feeling that they don’t know what non-commitment means. Unless it’s commitment to fuck the customer, but then, why bother to offer a call center?

4·10 days agoDelays - if you use the internet and request an answer from an LLM, you won’t notice if it’s 300-500ms slower than usual. But if you deploy and run a software stack, a delay of 5ms betweenntze app and the database can make the difference between a usable application and an inperfomant one.

Technology@lemmy.world•Discord/Twitch/Kick/Snapchat age verifier: age verifies your account automatically as an adult on any website using k-idEnglish
13·24 days agoLooks to me like they’re essentially redirecting the request from the normal api to do age checks to their own api, and just saying “Sure, they’re an adult” to discord (since that is all the “proper” api tells them).
Wait… Those amateurs [at discord and the age check company] didn’t even think of signing the check in any way and then verifying the data they get send back? That’s not even hard to implement?!

6·1 month agoAs the hoster wrote this:
we immediately transferred all clients’ web hosting subscriptions from this server
It looks like the binaries and the update check script were put on a simple web space. If that is the correct conclusion to draw from this excerpt, then it’d be rather strange to have the keys on that server as it’s very unlikely that it was used to produce any builds.

Too bad, that the normal price for that is now a 4-digit sum and will the cost you still $500+…
