Lol, this website is registered to someone in Iceland, despite the assurance that it is a "security researcher living in the UK". I'm sure the results from this experiment will make a cool blog post about pwning tech savvy folks.


That's the WHOIS privacy service enabled by default on .com domains registered through Namecheap.


Hmm my Namecheap domains keep the location details even with WHOIS privacy enabled. To be fair they are 7+ years old so maybe something has changed in that time?


You can still apologize by editing your parent comment. Humility is a gift.


So you don’t actually know what you’re doing but still feel fit to rip on op for it? “Lol” indeed…


That could be the hosting, the website is running on PaaS - https://vercel.com


my M1 Macbook air can run LLM's pretty well.. worse specs than the latest iPad Pro (and iPhone pro wouldn't be too far behind).


Running them is a whole lot less resource intensive than training them.

Unless the plan was just to build a RAG source from your personal data, in which case it would be yet another underwhelming feature.


That photo you have provided is from a temple in Indonesia, and the Indian temple story you have summarised is regarded to be false, the carving in question was likely added during renovation during British rule.


Yes, that is possible. Also check this video, which is yet another bicycle carving from India: https://youtu.be/9zHHPCAao4k?si=VIc2XkgAnwf4MOxK


unless the account isn't important - don't. By the time you have a setup that isn't at the mercy of ISP outages, blackouts, misconfigurations etc. you have invested a load of time and money for not much gain.


Which makes me wonder: how hard would It be to offer an email service as a self-hosted app?

So you install this on a home always-on RaspberryPI or something and, after filling out some details, it just works. Would that be possible at all?

Some scripts that in the background get the right certificates and set the right records and so on should be possible, no?


There's so much babysitting required.

I've managed to wean all but one of my clients off self-hosted email. They are paranoid and insist on keeping it in-house. It's such a big time suck to deal with spam filter tuning and blacklist removal requests and the like, but they keep paying the hourly rates for it.


From what I gather, yes, that would work, but no, it wouldn't. Apparently all non FAANG mailservers are one misstep away from being put on all blocklists in perpetuity with minimal chances of appeal.


Nothing constructive to say other than this is amazing. A very common idea but rarely done this well, great job!


Thank you very much!


NYT does not have any reach in Australia, and especially so with the population that lives around where the capsule was misplaced.


Probably better to say "and no-one lives around where the capsule was misplaced". It _could_ of been lost in a "built up area" (more than 0.1 ppl/sq km) but statistically it's probably where no-one ever goes except wildlife. It's a HUGE area with very very few people in it.


The developer has to enable running on Mac, but for those that have they run really well. Most feel perfectly native even though they were designed for iPad.


> Wraps can be a cheaper option, but they also have a very different look than automotive paint.

The only people that notice the different look are those who "know", wraps serve the purpose for 95% of people at a fraction of the cost.


Even the iPhone 14 Pro with its very much upgraded camera can only *just* start to be within the same league as a standalone camera when it comes to dynamic range. Noise performance, detail resolution etc. are all still woefully inadequate. In any instance, a phone camera can take amazing shots (especially when in great light) but a very long way from being equal. Everybody has a different threshold for "good enough" however and they have met yours.


True dynamic range yes, but smartphones have better HDR bracketing software. So my phone also beat my middle-end DSLR in backlit scenarios.


I really don't agree with calling the D5300 a mid-range camera, it's 2013-2014 tech. Like I mentioned somewhere else I do understand the price comparison but it's not a mid-range camera anymore, it's very outdated.


Even with less outdated cameras (e.g. the last high-end APS-C from Nikon, the D7500), HDR bracketing is much worse than most mid-range phones from the last 5 years. And assembling them after manual bracketing in post-processing is also not great. Nikon HDR creates halos, doubling, even on relatively fast shutter speeds.

That said, I don’t have the experience of phones being "good enough", and even my Sony RX100 (edit: was "RX1", my bad) first gen which is quite old is out-performing 99% of the smartphone market in picture quality on a good screen, if you exclude HDR.


I doubt phones will ever reach the raw quality of RX1 due to physics, especially the RX1r II. That thing is still a beast.


Sorry, I meant to say "RX100", it is now corrected. Yes, even with the improvements in sensor technology, glass, and post-processing I don't see a phone reaching RX1 quality anytime soon.


They make up for the sensor deficiencies relative to a DSLR with image processing. You can simulate increase dynamic range and reduced noise by taking multiple exposures with multiple cameras and processing them with smart 'AI' algorithms.


Amazon (the marketplace) invests it's revenue aggressively, although this serves as a loss on paper there is still a benefit to generating that revenue in the first place as it serves as investment dollars for other parts of the business
