Agreed.

Very nice in cost/1mtok. Looks like more work is being done for efficient everyday helper models as time goes on.

I'm able to access it on my laptop at home. Maybe a misconfigured bot protection rule, try a different user-agent or IP?

Interesting that the "frontier" keeps moving forward from the guys who want a pause.

> Furthermore, Windows supports true plug and play where hardware just works the moment you connect it. Linux does not.

This hasn't been my experience for the last 5 years or so. Obscure old printers and scanners, Bluetooth headphones with modern codecs like LDAC and SBC-XQ, RGB gaming mice all "just work" on Linux, where on Windows I have to install an app from the Microsoft Store to get functionality.

I think this was probably pretty accurate in the early 2010s and before.

There are coding tasks where Kimi K3 outperforms Fable (haven't done much comparing between it and Sol) and the Chinese labs have access to their own synthetic datasets, along with frontier research. We're leaving behind the days where Chinese models are distilled Claude, but I hope Anthropic/OpenAI can continue to accelerate.

You can run HL2 at 1080p 60fps in 5W on Armada on the AYN Thor (on the Eco performance profile). That includes a screen and speakers.

Still no. If you're only getting Opus-class you can still end up paying less by just using an equivalent Chinese model on OpenRouter.

Very impressive model, exciting to see an American open-source lab with such competitive results.

Technically already possible (and works surprisingly well!) if you have a PS5 with old enough firmware.

Making almost 20 million a year is pretty good considering that their only product is a maintained FirefoxOS fork licensed to run on budget phones.

It defaults to the API, but you can download the weights for the 1T-parameter Pro model and selfhost if you have the hardware for it.

We usually take it from natural gas deposits instead.

I've had a great time using Rust with Actix as the framework.

macOS actually does the opposite; to avoid wearing down the drive it will hold 7-10gb of your most commonly used files in memory and release them when the memory gets allocated for something else. In theory you could get away with editing gigabytes of files and using dozens of apps without ever wearing down your drive at all.

You can get Wipr 2 for iOS and (for me) it's been as good as uBO.

There is an open-source launcher to run Bedrock on Mac and Linux, and it runs well. Bedrock, however, still isn't as popular because servers and mods are more of an afterthought, so not a lot of effort has been put into making it developer-friendly.

It seems kind of odd to play Java edition without mods at all. Wouldn't you have a simpler time on Bedrock?

You most likely use a Windows PC and an Android phone. If Uncle Sam viewed you as a threat actor, he could ask both companies to send you a signed and verified update to either your OS or apps they control, running whatever he wants.

I mean... not really? Not much music is Spotify exclusive (at least from the 99.6% of what people listen to mentioned in the article), and from friends in the industry I can guarantee you all major content platforms (Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video, a large chunk of YouTube) have already been completely copied without a business agreement with the rightsholders by AI startups and big-name players.

Ladybird is pretty good today. A lot of web apps, even complex ones, just work. It's reached high compliance scores for web standards in a shockingly quick period. See here: https://youtu.be/VqzbqsIlaNI?si=YPdwbApq4nVYlPMQ&t=209

This seems a bit foolish? Even just limiting stock to paper launches and massively raising the price would let you say "oh, it's just the market" but here it makes them look like they're putting all their eggs in one basket.

Security seems like a solved problem on desktop already? Secure Boot + LUKS + SELinux gives anyone a pretty airtight userspace.

Microsoft/Apple have similarly secure set ups for their operating systems. Bitlocker by default (although there is a convenient backdoor for high-paying customers to protect against data loss and for law enforcement forensics) and Apple's Secure Enclave (only broken into by a certain five countries intelligence agencies and for older versions streaming pirates) should protect the average user pretty well.

Is there anything special about Android phones (especially budget ones) that makes them more secure? That's not what I've seen.

The Wikipedia page seems to show that it's just a placebo/scam? The helmet has the equivalent magnetic effect of a fridge magnet or hair dryer, and researchers in Sweden replicating the research in a double-blind study found no effect at all. Looking at the pictures on the official website https://www.god-helmet.com/wp/god-helmet/index.htm , it's just magnets on a snowmobile helmet this guy bought.

But the botnets don't use VPNs, they use IoT devices owned by people who don't even know there's a computer inside. It seems like you just don't like the idea of VPNs in general and are using an unrelated attack to argue for deprivatizing (And thus, surveilling) the citizenry.

We didn't. The WTO copyright framework is a joke that only goes after sports rebroadcasting and people who watch Disney movies for free. Meanwhile every valuable piece of US science and industry has been replicated on the other side of the planet and used for great success.

All levels of Widevine are cracked, but only the software-exclusive vulnerabilities are publicly available. It's only used for valuable content though (netflix/disney+/primevideo), so it might still work out for YouTube as no one will want to waste a vulnerability on a Mr. Beast slop video.

What are you talking about? Both iPhones and Android let you spoof your MAC address to a random or fixed value if you want, for privacy.

Also, "leaking my IP addresses" how the fuck do you expect a website to talk to you without an IP address to send the data back to.

99% of Steam games work great on Linux now thanks to Proton. You might be thinking of how it was back in 2015.

No. This isn't Spectre/Meltdown for GPUs, it takes advantage of SurfaceFlinger giving apps information on what's drawn behind them.
