SA/rape of a batchmate. She was the director at the time and word was that she was complicit in a PR drive to get this off the news and also ban on campus protests around it.

B2B/Enterprise datacenter software. Alternative to VMware and the likes. None of their core products are open to the average Joe afaik. There was a post about that sometime back on here.

Surprised to see my former university director/lecturer appear on HN. She (the author) was very controversial and general not liked towards the end of her tenure by most of my peers. Nonetheless, she was quite good in her field.

I have been hosting gitea for our small org (docker + sqlite) for close to 5 years now. ~50+ repos, some large. All upgrades, including major changes, have been as easy as just changing the tag and reloading the container.

If using outside of subscriptions, It is almost a no brainer to use this simple because of the efficiency. With subscriptions, not so good. Even the officially endorsed OpenAI integration lacks support for server-side context compaction (without a separate plugin which still triggers the pi native compaction).

How does it compare to nanocodex (https://github.com/gakonst/nanocodex)?

The flash variant is on par with Sonnet 5 on DeepSWE (54%). Big, if true.

I was one of the commenters that was staunchly against this proposal on the original issue that was brought up 3 years ago. Imo their entire argument has always been straw man. Anyone who has spent enough time around the core Codeberg community knows how ideologically motivated their decisions are regardless of what they put out in their PR statements.

This incident coupled with the Forgejo one (In which they twisted the whole story and made Gitea look like the biggest villain in FOSS when in fact they orchestrated the whole drama by submitting a controversial PR that many people don't know about) made me quit and keep away from their hosting.

It's a shame that they exfiled private data. The model is actually good (better than opus 4.8 imo) and the harness itself is butter smooth with the potential of being the best out there.

Clearly not a cuck license (https://lukesmith.xyz/articles/why-i-use-the-gpl-and-not-cuc...) so looks good to me.

In my experience GLM 5.1 has been excellent when paired with IDA Pro (DeepSeek v4 pro comes in close second, Kimi straight up refuses). Claude can only do reverse engineering if you throw it into some sort of hero/saviour mode then gradually pivot into red team (though it gets easily tripped).

It has been the same for Sonnet/Opus 4.6 for sometime. It will straight up refuse to work on anything in the grey area. Chinese models will happily do anything; On my tests, GLM 5.1 comfortably bypassed a multi-player game's anti-piracy/anti-cheats check with some guided steering.

I used XFCE (MxLinux) for 5 years until recently when I moved to KDE Plasma (Fedora) because of Wayland support. Imo, KDE is better and more resource efficient. I also got a free 10 fps boost on DotA 2 on the same hardware and settings. Zed and a lot of other apps are better supported on Wayland.
