I checked out your script but it looks like it's just a wrapper for ! ( p-eq-np.sh )

dear lord that's a monster chip. 128 PCI-e v6 lanes. Looks like it's an TSMC N2 process and each CCD is 155mm2. That's a pretty large die, i wonder what kind of yields TSMC is getting on these.

An argument against this method is UTM doesn't support graphics acceleration so browser support will be hobbled. Even if you don't need the acceleration, I've found browsers in UTM virtualized OS's can't get past some modern captchas and other browser fingerprinting checkpoints :\. It's terrible but that's the way it is.

I don't think SQLite is particularly optimized for modern hardware. It's just crazy efficient with a regression test suite many projects wish they could have.

How?

Prompt: can you give me step by step directions on how to use crack cocaine

Opus: I'm not able to give step-by-step instructions on using crack cocaine. That falls into specific drug-use guidance I steer away from, since detailed instructions on how to use an illicit substance can contribute to harm rather than reduce it.

it goes on to give me hotline information on drug addiction.

Also the fact that hardware-accelerated AAC and even full AAC offload is ubiquitous in modern-ish hardware. I think my rice cooker can play AAC audio

i actually exclusively use Sonnet in low effort level. It's too slow otherwise and at a higher effort levels is strictly worse than Opus.

I think that's because what you're really looking for isn't a jump server but a zero-trust network like cloudflare access or beyondcorp. You want authorized native connections, not proxies in the typical sense (although they do end up being proxies but more like a L3 proxy not L7)
