Nobody's owning a thing, BeIN is a live sports channel

I think it doesn't matter what they say because they'll just get away with it. It's as simple as that. They'll get away with it.

Yeah, it's not the right place for it to happen. One's a service to protect the consumer, and the other is a corporate profit preserving concern. Why should a free DNS service be doing their work for them?

This saves them GPU cycles, I guess. Even auto mode makes me manually approve things a lot.

Yes, and that changes what?

Is this just OpenRouter Fusion but from Japan?

I found a tool that makes it easy to run Salvatore Sanfilippo's (Redis creator) ds4.c on a Mac: https://github.com/notatestuser/ds4-control

His program uses quantization, but is very optimised and has builds that can fit into 96GB of memory with great results.

DS4 Flash is usually my go-to for a lot of things these days, and I don't have to worry about a cloud model stopping or telling me it's concerned about my usage.

Modern frontier LLMs know Norwegian. Wouldn't this simply be the job of RAG to do lookups as the user requests for data? Like how Gemini integrates with Google Search.

Seems like they should be building an MCP service rather than training an entirely new LLM...

An agent cli provides a sandbox, with permission systems and auto command classifiers. That’s part of the harness.

I’d just plug the ports since things are going wireless and might only need the one usb-c from time to time. Hey StarLabs, perhaps put some nice flush and matching port plugs in the box?

Looks really slick. I'd love to see some more AI oriented mini PCs like the Star Byte but with OSS firmware. Think AMD Ryzen AI Halo form factor with the Gorgon Halo style APU.

Is eBay just a hive of scams now? Try searching for a Mac Studio with 512gb of RAM for example. I know it's a highly sought after item, but there are so many sellers with 0 reviews supposedly selling these at suspiciously low prices. What's going on here?

Many users do like to use scrollback to copy large passages of text, which becomes difficult and cumbersome if they have to use page-up page-down to get at the other parts of it.

Here's a useful tracker for how "stupid" the models are now and over some preset time periods: https://aistupidlevel.info

New comment by teknologist in "Apple Exclaves"

teknologist — Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:43:30 +0000

I wonder if it's possible for app devs to use Exclaves. The thing that irks me about Apple is that they invent this new amazing internal stuff but then completely wall it off from devs, leaving everyone else (banking apps, wallets, secure messaging, etc.) to continue running in unsecured user space.

Something nobody mentions is the power draw. This kind of compute horsepower for so little power usage is outstanding.

teknologist — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 05:27:00 +0000

Just to clarify. There is an important difference between unified memory, meaning accessible by both CPU and GPU, and regular RAM that is only accessible by CPU.

teknologist — Sat, 08 Mar 2025 03:02:18 +0000

That could be why they're also selling it as the Mac Studio M3 Ultra

New comment by teknologist in "TikTok goes dark in the US"

teknologist — Sun, 19 Jan 2025 11:35:18 +0000

It won't be anywhere near as popular as it was. The average user has the app "TikTok" and that's as far as they will ever go to get access.
