Goodhart's law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"
TLDR as soon as you have a system like this people will game it...
Nah, NVLink is irrelevant for inference workloads (inference nearly all happens in the cards, models are split up over multiple and tokens are piped over pcie as necessary), mildly useful for training but you'll get there without them.
Sigh, time to rewrite my scraper so I can have just the facts in my top panel again. Last one got like 5 years I think, hopefully they're not going to up the pace...
If this is so, well, thank fuck for that. Such a bad, expensive idea. One good thing to come from Trump is a severe loss of faith in the US, long overdue.
Didn't take as long as I expected, but I expected it (which is why I didn't bother to read, even if it's not all the way there, it's coming).
Seriously, advertising (or propaganda to use the older name favoured by Goebbels) really needs to be seen as a much more serious enemy than most do. Propaganda for capitalists is super effective at sucking up peoples mental bandwidth, they've been selecting for it going on a century now and they're depressingly good at it, if you don't actively counter it, straight to the subconscious, along with all the background crap in it. /rant, but seriously...
Is a VPN needed to keep your ip from being exposed ?
No more so than using any search engine directly, it's a nice to have. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough.
Is just using an existing searxng instance just less secure then?
By the time you've investigated it, you could have stood up your own instance...
Curiously enough, the only thing that went through the mind of the bowl of petunias as it fell was Oh no, not again.
Oz gov yet again doing something unfathomably stupid with tech privacy, shocked I tell ya. Might have to point my SearxNG instance VPN endpoint somewhere else, maybe, see how it pans out...
Sounds like a them problem then.
podman exists and doesn't force root...
It's yours, no issues trusting a public instance with your searches. Pages full of settings to tweak as you like. Less problems with an algorithm 'helping' you. It averages searches over multiple search engines that you choose, you can set up your own (or a curated) block list of crappy AI slop sites, don't like fandom.com or something, gone. Manage your own bangs, e.g. !aa for annas-archive. Pipe it through a VPN with gluetun for better isolation. If you have your head around docker already it's more like half an hour to set up, so why not?
Can hook it up to perplexica and a local LLM for a fully local AI search that you define, use it as a MCP server, do deep research with it...
Using wireguard to VPN into your home network is mostly trivial (using tailscale to do so is actually trivial, for my usage of the word, but introduces an untrusted company into the mix), opening your local network to the outernet is not, expect pain.
