If people wait too long you could even have the bot use the exploit to update the PHP version.

How much does this speedup inference for the end user in terms of tk/s ?
Having the LLM give you new options doesn't mean you have to pursue them. It's just something else to talk to your doctor about.

And it's not like self researching medicial issues isn't a new concept.

Yeah, hopefully this bylaw is only going to be used for extreme cases like these.
Re:People Hooked on Vapes Try a New Way to Quit: Cigarettes on Tuesday September 22, 2026 @07:02PM (#49809494)
Here's what I did to get rid of my nicotine addiction (vaping):

- Gradually lower the strength of my liquid until it was at the minimum.

- Stop all vaping and switch to nicotine gum

- Gradually increase the time between each gum

- Stop the gum altogether

This process took probably 3 months and tbh it was pretty miserable the whole time. It's 100% worth it tho, You don't realize how much it controls your life until you stop. You will also still get random cravings for a year or two afterwards, Heck it's been 4 years and I still sometimes get dreams where I'm vaping.

Re:Student teacher arrested for private Snapchat message on Monday August 31, 2026 @04:20PM (#49514432)
I saw a very similar story on youtube. A young woman was in some trade school studying to be a hair dresser. She had a bad day and posted on snapchat something like "I'll shoot everyone" The same system mentioned here triggered and cops showed up to her school. The whole thing was totally blown out of proportion and she got suspended.

Pick literally any one of those, just seriously, if you're still on that platform, leave.

I'm personally not too alarmed by this. All the tracking is in the context of their franchise and I honestly find the stats pretty cool.

If in the end it helps them to provide me a better service, I'm all for it. But I also never really was of the opinion that McDonalds was a large evil corporation.

Re:Cloudflare Drop on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @05:03PM (#48837386)
Every new feature they've launched recently can be used to make the web more dangerous for everyone except those who use Cloudflare.
Re:Cloudflare Drop on Wednesday July 08, 2026 @04:58PM (#48837321)
Cloudflare has the astonishing ability to make me hate them more as a company every new feature they launch.
I've also noticed this. I wonder what causes the overlap. It can't be as simple as crypto and LLMs requiring the same hardware.
Sure. https://deep-reinforce.com/ornith_1_0.html

>Built on top of pretrained Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.5, it achieves state-of-the-art performance among open-source models of comparable size on coding benchmarks.

>Ornith-1.0 is a self-improving training framework. Instead of relying on human-designed harnesses to drive solution generation in RL, Ornith-1.0 learns to generate both solution rollouts and the task-specific harnesses that guide those rollouts.

These are simply benchmaxxed versions of either Qwen or Gemma 4.
But did it make them more productive?
Do you realize how disastrous it would be for the open-source ecosystem to remove actions from the free tier?
This is 100% against githubs TOS lol.

Some years ago I toyed with the idea of running a minecraft server inside github actions, I used tailscale to create a public endpoint and saved the world in an artifact that was re-loaded on the next run. It worked really well, but the point was never to actually use it for real.

> Where did the litellm files come from? Do you know which env? Are there reports of this online?

> The litellm_init.pth IS in the official package manifest — the RECORD file lists it with a sha256 hash. This means it was shipped as part of the litellm==1.82.8 wheel on PyPI, not injected locally.

> The infection chain:

> Cursor → futuresearch-mcp-legacy (v0.6.0) → litellm (v1.82.8) → litellm_init.pth

This is the scariest part for me.

It's not really the same product.

>Free API calls: Effective May 1, we’re making API calls free for all B2 Cloud Storage customers.

>Storage price: Also effective May 1, we are updating pricing from $6/TB to $6.95/TB

Honestly amazing change. The free API changes are going to cut our bills in half. the 95cent increase per TB is totally reasonable.
