Maybe I’m naive, but that number does not seem reasonable. It basically says that 5% of German GDP is lost because of cyber crime. Are the writers infosec consultants maybe?

Well, usually not. Unfortunately.

Mullvad.

Try ripgrep instead of grep. Unless you go for index etc.

Whining about having to pay income taxes by themselves. Could also be that many are self employed.

I don’t think it’s enforced by law. Only federal tax. Maybe different in different states? Anyway, Americans are always whining about it, so I figured it was national/federal.

In theory, it’s not the most economically efficient. We want people to work, and taxing labor decreases the incentive to work. However, there isn’t any viable alternative given the current circumstances. Labor creates all value in society and you can’t easily hide labor off shore (though I guess that’s what happened with globalization and China).

One should understand that income tax should be a tax on the consumption of labor (just as a tariff is a tax paid by the importer/consumer). Right-wing politicians have made the employee pay the income tax (to decrease acceptance of the system), but it should always be the employer that pays the tax.

If we start to call income tax “labor VAT” or something similar, that will probably solve a lot of misunderstandings.

Making the employer pay the tax before the money reach the employee solves quite a lot. I understand that’s not the practice in the US.

What do you guys think about AnySoftKeyboard? Could it be a “sleeping agent”?

Country of origin is Israel according to: https://alternativeto.net/software/anysoftkeyboard/about/

(I know this doesn’t mean anything, but still…)

The main developer seems to live in New York: https://evendanan.net/

He’s probably a good guy. Just got a little suspicious (or curious) when I saw the Israeli flag on AlternativeTo.

Not same results as DeepL but… You can use any popular online LLM for excellent translation. There are also “small” language models that you can run on your phone (if you havet a reasonable modern/powerful phone that is): https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm

Because the political and economical situation is extreme.

Any shitty old laptop can self host any git service as long you only have a single or handful of users.

It’s the language of GNU. And a scheme. That’s also why you would choose Haunt. It’s probably not for you.

If you’re into GNU/Guile Scheme, there is also Haunt: https://dthompson.us/projects/haunt.html

My only advice is that you stick to one model and give it some time. You need to “learn” your model. I will probably never go back. I had huge issues with getting good results from Google and my subjective experience is that this is far better. However, I do still use conventional search engines as a complement. It’s not all or nothing.

This is the one I use: https://docs.mistral.ai/capabilities/agents/

Just tell the modell to do web searches in the system prompt.

All providers should have something similar. With a user friendly UI.

If you code your own agent and utilize an API or run a model locally, you can of course do even more. There are many tools if you want to do RAG on your own local data.

Because it’s useful. Have you tried? But the LLM has to be able to use conventional search engines as well. I tell my LLM agent to prioritize certain kinds of websites and present a compressed answer with references. Usually works way better than a standard Google search (which only produce AI generated junk results anyway).

You can get very good answers or search results by utilizing RAG.

Super expensive Apple, Adobe and Canon equipment? Because they don’t know better and symbols of social status are important?

My guess is that most of the world, including Swedes, has become more positive towards “Made in China” since January 19.
