I really enjoyed this article, and particularly the penultimate section on how to use is_debugger_present().

It probably has more to do with what he has actually done than what he might theoretically do with all his wealth and power in some alternate reality where he was a decent human being.

I didn't even know that was an option. Absolutely check the compatibility tool on the OpenWRT website.

This is why I check OpenWRT compatibility before I buy.

He may be a spy, but he’s not a competent spy. Absence of evidence (of spies) is not evidence of absence (of spies). He just set the bar so low that even OpenAI noticed his activities.

You would think he had the skills, resources and intelligence to ask his incriminating questions to a locally hosted model.

So that this list can be added to the list of lists.

There’s also Piper[1], which I’ve been using for my Logitech G502 wireless gaming mouse. It predates the AI era.

Plus this[2]:

> The billionaire's legal team argues that Meta's artificial intelligence tools optimised and personalised fraudulent ads before distributing them, thereby making Meta an active participant, rather than a mere intermediary.

Make for a fun juxtaposition today.

I have the same question.

I get that it’s designed to run on a CPU, big GPU or MacBook (although the way that was phrased confused me at first).

I’m struggling with what a “decoder-only” model is good for.

I wonder if this is a "loan idiom" from a non-English-speaking culture.

I like reading articles like this, but as per usual, I also find these articles frustrating to read because they don't specify calling conventions[0] (which are many and varied) - particularly the allocation of arguments to registers and the stack frame.

Articles about GoLang assembly language[1] are particularly vexing because the instruction parameters are bass-ackwards - source, destination - like AT&T syntax, but register references are missing their % sigil and so appear to be MASM-style[2].

Authors blogging from deep inside some technical tent should take pity on readers who are not so deeply in the tent and offer a brief primer on assumed knowledge.

Any mistakes in the above should be viewed as confirmation of my confusion.

It's a push by oligarchs to establish total surveillance and control of the masses to protect themselves from the coming environmental (climate change) and economic (mass unemployment) collapses.

In a functioning democracy, the masses would demand higher taxes on the wealthy to fund social support. The oligarchy has already bought out democracy in the US and other places to ensure that doesn't happen. So to keep the masses in line, a system of totalitarian oppression is required.

His point is that in security, the opposite applies. The supposed "incompetence" is just plausible deniability for a malicious act.

> Note that recent (2025-10) batches of the OpenWrt One have an M.2 slot with a detached post at the 2230 position and the shipped product contains no way to attach the post.

The implications of this are going over my head (and TFA should explain it better). I gather that 2230 is a form factor 22x30mm and there's also a 2280 M.2 SSD form factor.

Is this just saying that there's a missing mounting post? So it wobbles? You can't use a certain form factor?
