Re:Jev: New frontier model 40-400x cheaper and 20-200x faster on Wednesday September 16, 2026 @09:37AM (#49726863)
The fact this isn't open-source is troublesome.

Such large advances shouldn't be locked up away from local hardware.

I thought the font was great.

"because researchers shouldn't hold bugs for ransom or demand high payment" Maybe they should now, not like anyone else cares about ethics anyway.

Something is wrong with the codex app too, burning usage like crazy lately.

Someone should really get around to cloning secretariat.
I feel like this will be the end of Taalas, AMD has for the most part of its history always chosen the wrong options.

You can just ignore the FCC.

They are completely toothless.

Clearly anthropic is misaligned, how can they claim to be able to align AI when they themselves are misaligned from humanity.
Re:Running a 28.9M parameter LLM on an $8 microcontroller on Saturday July 25, 2026 @08:42PM (#49053410)
>esp32-s3

This microcontroller is a beast, currently using it to do dev work on a pi4.

Having two usb ports with one otg lets you do some neat things that would cost $100+ otherwise

Ever wonder why they let those criminals seemingly get away with it?

Think one extra step ahead.

Actually it does, and much more.
Lots of replies to this comment so i won't reply to everyone.

brain fogs, migraines/headaches, memory problems. sudden attitude changes, lifestyle changes. divorces from a partner suddenly hating everything about the other partner. fatigue, mental fatigue. Just to name a few.

Not everyone i know has the same issues, some are worse then others. If its so rare i don't see how everyone in my small circle all got permanent side effects.

I know its not meant to be common, but literally everyone i know that has had to go under woke up not the same person anymore.

Honestly, i doubt its as rare as you think.

My bet is just poor training in my country.

For me and others(in my circle with operations, 5) the waking up part is multiple hours of a drugged feeling, like you really aren't on the same planet anymore.

Currently have a family member in hospital and 4 days later they are still dealing with the effects.

I assume this is probably a regional/country issue, australian public hospitals are pretty sub-standard.

Didn't work in Australia, won't work in the UK.

primed3d can do photos onto models. still limited by print resolution, but very cool concept.

Well, america had a good run i guess?

Hope china can step up and fill the gap.

you might find this video interesting then, the fastest rc drone in the world and it uses humpback inspired props.

This research is useless and nearly all other LLM research is too.

gpt 5.2 is the strongest model they tested, a nearly 6 month old model.

Traditional research can not keep up.

Personally i prefer two computers, two monitors, one mouse/keyboard.

Deskhop has been a lifesaver https://github.com/hrvach/deskhop

We desperately need a new internet
They tried this in australia, now more kids than ever are on social media.
Re:NIST scientists create 'any wavelength' lasers on Saturday April 18, 2026 @08:23PM (#47820731)
My first thought is this will be used as a weapon to bypass protections against specific wavelengths
Depending what model you subscribe too, small dose radiation can be healthy for you.
The threat of radiation is severely overblown.

NASA is overpaying for underperforming "hardened" hardware that performs no better than non-hardened. You can see this yourself with the mars helicopter ingenuity.

If you are desperate for extra safety then just include multiple computers, literally what spacex does.

They should have used malus.sh instead
Sadly this has become a taboo subject.

Even if a cure is found, getting people to take it will be next to impossible. Not to mention the ethics.

Seems like we have all built something similar.

hopefully mine can stand out with all the extra features i have managed to cram in

Re:Codex, Opus, Gemini Try to Build Counter Strike on Tuesday December 02, 2025 @02:05AM (#46118452)
Personally i find it absurd that code can be copyrighted at all.
