> Another point against your gym analogy. When people don't have that much disposable income why would they subscribe to something they semi regularly use? And if it becomes more expensive why would they not cancel it?

I don't see where the difference is with gym subscriptions here.

I don’t have numbers, but I would like to point out that he's missing a crucial number as well. The fact that maxing out a subscription's limit makes a user generate an amount of tokens that costs much more than the subscription itslef isn't enough to back his claim. What we need to know, is the average use of subscriptions. Think about Gyms. My gut feeling is that, if we run the numbers, we see that by maxing out a gym subscription we can get more value out of it than what we paid for. And still, gyms are profitable because the average customer is using less than what they're paying for. Now, I still think AI companies will have to rise their prices (they are already doing that), but the situation could be less dramatic than what people pointing at those figures based on subscription maxing are claiming.

I belive it's the other way around only up to a point. If the situation gets too bad, I believe they have the resources to overthrow him.

I don't know if this is their case, but some politicians don't care much about their arguments making sense. In this specific case, a politician could either claim the drones come from some other country, and Russia is going to protect them, or that they need to join Russia for them to stop.

> one option is an escalation with NATO.

Wouldn't this make the situation much worse for Russia, and therefore for him as well? The oligarchs will know who is to blame if Putin starts a war with NATO.

The GDPR gives you the right not to be subject to automated decisions, so there are cases where a human can make a decision and a machine cannot.

Still, AFAIK Kimi's architecture (just like that of other LLMs from Chinese labs) is different from those of OpenAI and Anthropic's model in a nontrivial way. So the expertise is still there, and I guess resource use too (although Chinese labs tend to optimize this, thanks to the restrictions they have on GPU use).

EDIT: just wanted to add that resource optimization is usually where the contribution of Chinese labs is, so you shouldn't reaad the above parenthesis as a negative comment.

Maybe I'm missing something here. Do I read it correctly that OpenAI failed to implement "defense in depth" and that a properly configured firewall would have likely contained this?

Great project! As I like playing with ESP8266/ESP32 boards myself, I would enjoy reading more about your bowling adventure.

You expect cleanrooms to be extremely controlled environments where skilled technicians and engineers very carefully handle sensitive equipment... Then someone steps on a component :D

I logged in to double-check if I was going to pay for my beefy ARM server. There was a notification about this change, but looking into the billing section, I saw no change. I have an alert in place if I pay more than 5€ per month, so for now I'm leaving my server as is.

New comment by GTP in "A dock that wakes up reliably"

GTP — Sun, 12 Jul 2026 12:19:39 +0000

I have a Dell usb C dock that I got from a company that was going to trow it away. My issue is with charging. It used to work with the Dell laptops they were using, but it has a weird behavior with my HP laptop. If I connect the laptop to the dock when the laptop is off, charging works. If I instead plug in the laptop while it's running, most of the times it doesn't start charging it. I have either to disconnect and reconnect a few times, or I have to pull the dock's plug and reinsert it again. Any idea why? Did anyone else observe a similar behavior?

You can actually get more. You have an amount of resources for ARM servers, if you allocate all of that to a single one you ger 24GB RAM and 4 vCPU.

Then, convert the digits of pi to text to find how to achieve interdimensional travel to reach the optimal timeline.

There also exists an in-between possibility, that is, if you get 128GB of vram (there are now multiple options in the market to get that amount with a unified memory architecture) you can run DeepSeek V4 flash at good speed via DwarfStar. I'm not going to spend money on this, but my gut feeling is that this would be the right compromise for a lot of people.

This is what I assumed as well, but online I found people who were able to update a ~2015 MacBook Pro to a version of macOS more recent than the latest supported one, and it still worked.

Fair point, but I think the lack of those updates impacts the average consumer much less than lack of OS updates.

They still have people working on FOSS, right? I didn't know about what your saying,but if this is the problem, then what if I gave Canonical as an example?

It is fair if you compare Apple with other manufacturers, but it is still unfair in absolute terms. The hardware still works, and the work they're doing to support other models would let macOS work on that laptop as well, as proven by tools that let you do the upgrade unofficially.
