Ollama runs all local, away from prying corps.

OK there are plenty of webuis that consume private apis, even ollama ones

Yes, well this their new “official” one?

And now Ollama has one too. I don't think I'll use it, but makes sense to me.

The name is probably inspired by TV Garden from Nam June Paik from the 70s

Same, better to think about ways to actually help them than mock them.

How do you know they are not done by slaves?

Scammer Payback's videos always include footage from the surveillance cameras. At least the scammers he and his crew target don't use slavery - that's more of a problem in Burma/Myanmar, not in India where many tech scammers are.

Didn't know, are they individuals working independently with some 'services' to provide targets/money laundering or are they part of organized crime or payroll? I am curious in the support structures they are embedded in.

SP gives tales on that in pretty much every video. It's usually messenger apps where the coordination happens - scammers share and sell lists of leads, marks and mules, with different prices for "verified susceptible" targets, there's regional groups (even on Facebook lol) where scam ringleaders and potential agents meet, and yes there's payroll and even legit shift work.

In the worst cases, legitimate companies sublet their office space to scammers - the day shift are regular callcenter employees that do fully legitimate consulting/support/outsourcing stuff, and in the night the scammer crews roll in. Utterly absurd to watch, and police usually doesn't do shit because they're paid off.

To expand on what the other commenter noted, these are well known industries, mostly in India. Just like this also well-known romance scam slavery industry existing in SEA (especially Myanmar, Cambodia, Philippines).

Podcasts, brrrrr

Audio works on the subway, on the bike, while riding a bike, cleaning the house and the big one, driving a car. To get into a situation where you can both watch and listen is much rarer.

The car is pretty much the only time I listen to non-music audio. And I don't drive enough to listen to audiobooks for the most part.

I'll listen to audiobooks while running on a treadmill but not when running outside.

In general, although transparency on current AirPods is good, I really just am not comfortable with having music or other audio playing in my ears when I'm moving around outside--and certainly not in an urban setting.

Same, I use it all the time and never perceived it as slow. I am not a tmux user, maybe the speed is noticeable when using more complex terminal apps like that?

I refer to dark city all the time when creating AI agents, when Kiefer would inject them with particular memories when the city stood still. And Shell Beach pops into my mind when I take the train to the former grandios Coney Island.

Existenz was another unique underappreciated movie of that year and whose theme never got picked by any other movie. When Jude Law realizes that the Chinese food he is eating can be put together to assemble the gun my mind was blown.

The Matrix, Dark City, The Thirteenth Floor, and Existenz.

Saw all of them in 1999 / 2000, my career direction was decided in that brief period.
