This is because NSA has two roles: eavesdropping on foreign adversaries, and protecting our internal systems from adversaries. Under the first role, they might introduce an exploit known only to themselves. Under the second, they help protect US systems from exploits known to others.

Spoilers in Connect are not readable when I click them. (White on white) Unless I first select the post so the background in grey.

This actually exists, but for a different operating system. The AS400 (aka iSeries) had a command line where programs had a standard way to specify parameters, so that pressing a prompt key (F4) would allow you to build the proper command line by filling a form. I do miss that, pity it doesn’t exist for Linux.

Sounds like sleep. Hibernate is when it turns completely off, such that you can leave it unplugged for a weekend and still have battery when it pops you back into your session. It takes longer to save and restore the session than sleep does.

I can run 7B models on my laptop with its embedded GPU. Running on a phone or a Pi is possible with smaller models, but very slow. Expect good speed with a desktop Nvidea GPU. Later this year, there should be new computers with an NPU integrated to the CPU which should speed up computers that don’t have a dedicated GPU. (But a GPU will still outperform them by a lot.)

70B models will run very slowly on even the best consumer hardware due to memory limitations.

Because they can’t force it on Firefox.

Nearly all such software support CUDA, (which up to now was Nvidia only) and some also support AMD through ROCm, DirectML, ONNX, or some other means, but CUDA is most common. This will open up more of those to users with AMD hardware.

It’s still bandwidth they have to pay for, which they could have used for more useful data, like having all the TVs phone home.

How long until they stop delivering apps with Intel support, which would break this tool?

Should be better since they usually don’t have an uplink capability. But be real careful of any model that has Internet for any reason.

The rights in the fourth amendment are generally a limit on the government, not what a third party does when it has a TOS/contract with you allowing it to do things.

That’s a different box. Insurance companies don’t have access to that black box unless the car has an accident. But they might give you another box to plug in if you want a discount.

The voter registration itself is technically a public document, as well. (Political campaigns get lists of all registered voters pretty easily for their mailings.)

Meaning you can take the public source code and build (compile using your own tools) the whole package to run locally. From context, I’m assuming the public source is missing something to help you build it properly. (Maybe a dependency or a make file.)

The sell contract would probably include a full license transfer of all copyright, and probably a non-compete clause.
