<p>I don't think llama.cpp supports any of the LongCat models, actually.<p>They haven't posted weights/inference solutions for LongCat-2.0 [1], but LongCat-Next had transformers support, which I assume means it works with vLLM/SGLang.<p>Given it's 1.6T, "common hardware" is probably out of the question; even 2bpw is going to measure out at 400GB, even before considering the bandwidth requirements for 48B active. I haven't read the LongCat-2.0 architecture docs, but if you're not running GLM-5.2, you're probably not running this either.<p>[1] <a href="https://huggingface.co/meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.0" rel="nofollow">https://huggingface.co/meituan-longcat/LongCat-2.0</a>: "Model weights coming soon — stay tuned!"</p>

<p>At UVA many years ago, one of my roommates was one of the unfortunate 20 or so annually expelled -- the only outcome of being convicted of breaking the "no cheating, stealing, or lying" honor code. It didn't take repeat offenses, expulsion was a first offense consequence.<p>Interestingly, it seems like you weren't joking about the decline:<p>> Finally in the spring of 2022, a sanction reform referendum succeeded with more than 80% of the vote, changing the penalty for an Honor violation from expulsion to a two semester suspension.

<p>Without knowing anything about Tor, I'd guess you've got it backwards. I imagine Tor leaks your OS through TCP/IP fingerprinting, and whether that fingerprint matches your `navigator.platform` is probably a factor into whether e.g. Cloudflare hellbans you.<p>Then again, I'd also assume Cloudflare just de facto hellbans all Tor exit node IPs, so...</p>

<p>If you're given a button to click, your browser has successfully passed the environment integrity checks and you have not been flagged as a bot.<p>You'll be flagged as a bot if your browser configuration has something "weird" (e.g. webrtc is disabled to reduce your attack surface) and you will be completely unable to access any site behind cloudflare with the anti-bot options turned on.

<p>This is briefly mentioned in the article, but from the report[1]:<p>> It should be noted that the scope of the code reviewed within this audit is relatively narrow. In particular, while we audited cURL’s use of the third-party libraries ngtcp2, nghttp3, quiche, and msh3 to implement HTTP/3 functionality, we did not investigate the internals of those libraries—which is where the majority of the low-level parsing and data transformation necessitated by the HTTP/3 protocol occurs.<p>the report goes on to concede<p>> [we] did not observe any coverage of the nghttp3 library code. We suspect that, as the HTTP/3 protocol itself is significantly intertwined with TLS, the encryption makes it hard for a fuzzer to progress to the point where data can be decoded and parsed meaningfully.<p>[1] <a href="https://curl.se/docs/audit/trail-of-bits-http3-report.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://curl.se/docs/audit/trail-of-bits-http3-report.pdf</a></p>

<p>Probably just an extension to existing ETSI legal interception interfaces[1] that I believe are required to be implemented by all service providers of a certain size in the EU. Your personal email server and private IRC network are probably out of scope.<p>[1] e.g. for email: <a href="https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/102200_102299/10223202/03.13.02_60/ts_10223202v031302p.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/102200_102299/10223202/...</a> - the specs are really boring to read and there are lots and lots of them, if you want to deep dive. From what I can tell it's basically just the service provider implementing an API client that feeds everything they're required to a centralized endpoint.</p>

<p>As a regular user of the Javascript-less page, several months ago it started returning wildly different results than the “fully featured” version for the same queries. My uneducated guess is that it’s using a different index. There also appears to be some sort of rate-limiting wherein the results will frequently just be empty (using the JS version and same query resolves the issue).<p>I’m guessing they’re intentionally degrading the non-Javascript page as an anti-bot measure, but it’s so bad that I find it disingenuous to suggest that the non-Javascript page even a valid alternative at this point.</p>
