Or Qwen 3.8 27B, AA score 52 (which is utterly insane given the size of this model); I have been testing Qwen 3.8 27B since a week now, as an intensive GLM-5.2 and Opus 5 user - I can say that I just can't believe my eyes i.r.t. to how good this model is.

I would struggle to ascertain the day-to-day difference between GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.5 tbh. Also, imho, Fable is highly hyped, I don't think it is dramatically better than Opus 4.8. Maybe my tasks and interaction with AI is relatively simple (i.e., lots of Rust programming, Linux system engineering stuff).

https://github.com/exislow/tidal-dl-ng seems to be gone. It's a tidal media backup utility; This is since a few hours, so very recent; anyone know what happened? Even the user account seems to be gone..

100% with you, but I don't think the presidential whims were the instigator for all this madness. That could be a Howard Lutnick:

New comment by rubin55 in "I am giving up on Intel and have bought an AMD Ryzen 9950X3D"

rubin55 — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 08:58:13 +0000

I run a 13900T unlocked (meaning, it runs 35W TDP at idle, 1.1ghz, but is allowed to peak to 210W for up to a minute, with the hugest Noctua D14something I could fit on it). It runs at ~29c idle, peaks to 80ish celsius at 210W (~4.5ghz over all cores - songle core peaking to 5.3ghz).

For a time I ran it 24/7 without suspend. It's a big system, lots of disks, expansion cards, etc. If it doesn't suspend, and doesn't do anything remarkable, it uses about ~5kWh per day. Needless to say, it suspends after 60 minutes now (my daily energy usage went from ~9 to ~4 kWh).

The relevant cmake file does this btw:

    if($ENV{DEBUGINFOD_URLS} MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")
      message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported environment.")

dang: could you rewrite/change the url? I think the commit link I shared is a better target for this.

The line link failed. It's line 38:

"Refuse to build in Arch package environments. My license does not allow for packages, and I'm sick of dealing with people complaining about things broken by packagers. This is why we can't have nice things."

    if($ENV{DEBUGINFOD_URLS} MATCHES ".*archlinux.*")
        message(FATAL_ERROR "Unsupported environment.")
    endif()
