I have a Sony Bravia that I've never connected to the internet, only to an Apple TV and a Steam Deck. It makes a noise when you turn it on or off, and sometimes it makes that noise all by itself while turned off. Makes me feel like it turns itself on to try and collect audio data periodically. But! I think since the TV itself is never going to have direct internet access, I'm not that worried about it sending my data.

The one good thing about the current system is that shitheads like musk can spend half-a-billion to buy elections, but the people still have the final say.

Looking at today's headlines on Washington Post, I'm asking myself if it's always been a pro-war, pro-trump, right-wing rag, or if it's only since Bezos bought it?

I kind of had the same take. If an LLM spits out legitimate arguments and they get published, i mean...

backed by tobi lutke? so, supervillain tech.

We've had frontier models widely available for general use for 5-6 years now. Despite the promises, we haven't revolutionized anything; not society, not government, not engineering, not the environment. The only thing we've done is revolutionize the pockets of AI purveyors, suppliers and charlatans. We haven't cured disease, ended hunger, or achieved time travel. Sure, the tech is cool. But it's cool at 1b, 8b, and 30b parameters at a size that fits on consumer hardware. Hyperscale AI that's built for no purpose in particular, at any social/environmental cost, is everything that's wrong with society. That's not Christian fundamentalism or doomerism, that's recognizing the sickness at the core of the tech industry. We let the tech-billionaires delete their ESG pledges, and abandoned the fight against climate change so we can generate celebrity porn.

software naming claims another victim

a "moment for humanity"? as if this shit isn't going to generate 99% slop at the cost of all we have left as a species?

I think China publishing this stuff is more about prestige. The US has had export controls that make it illegal to sell Nvidia chips, and other AI hardware to China, and this is China saying "yeah, whatever". Also, it weakens western tech companies' position in AI, and pushes CCP bias perniciously. Building your product/company on top of a text-generation model that favours the CCP position on everything is just peak propaganda.

I'm having some success running `qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b` in LMStudio with Opencode. I'm on an M4 MBP with 36gb. I'm getting 80 tok/sec with 260k context limit and temperature set to 0 (same prompt results in same output every time).

maybe the managers should be replaced

If they aren't educated, throw the whole thing away and start over. if they are educated, and decided to share HIV needles with children, throw the whole thing away, but put them all in prison.

Oh, you think the current administration only wants robots that kill other robots! Sweet Summer Child!

Its not fully autonomous ice cream machines, its fully autonomous _weapons_. are you stupid or are you dumb? I don't think you're asking an honest question.

does anybody think prices will fall after this?

i don't

I agree with you, in spirit, but I think the true issue lies elsewhere.

Rich people can spend money to influence elections, yes, but how can they do it? through political donations, super-pacs and bribes. Bribes are already illegal. political donations and super-pacs can give politicians the juice they need to get their messaging out, but getting the message across isn't enough to win an election. The people need to vote. Billionaires can spend as much money as they want to support candidates, but a billionaire still only has one vote to cast.

My point is, billionaires can pay for all the political campaigns in the world, but the electorate gets the final say. It's up to us to A) run for office and B) vote for the best candidate (but tell that to the 64% turnout in the 2024 presidential election)

yeah, where is the CIA going to find the money to pay a few editors?

I think you touched on the real reason: objective facts are anti-trump, woke leftist propaganda

How much do we believe the current administration values "intelligence"? For the most part, the truth is trump's enemy. as far as he can control it, it's better for his to be the only authoritative voice. If he says Australia is full of muslims and bad hombres, he doesn't need the CIA contradicting him.

i think it's just meant to add an air of poise and propriety as such

If a good leader is somebody who consistently sets a good example, and is willing to sacrifice personally for their team, I don't think there are very many out there. The problem is that companies still need "leaders" the same way TV stations need programming.

If an company decides to invest some money in the pursuit of an opportunity, some managers might get hired or promoted, and the company isn't going to scour the earth for genuinely good leaders. They'll post a job, take a few interviews then promote the person who was going to get it anyway, or hire somebody who looks the part. Generally, one shouldn't take middle-managers seriously.

given how often these llms are wrong, doesnt it make sense that they are less confident?

> SSH3 is a complete revisit of the SSH protocol

so, new undiscovered vulnerabilities

> how to be a leader: total and complete capitulation while you wait for it to blow over

yep. that's leadership.

I don't know if it's fair to call this a dead-internet thing. Most comments on social media are nothing or misdirection. You might say "well that's easy if you're paying for fake activity from bots" but I've seen plenty of real people have transactional, nothing-exchanges in real life. I mean, the internet isn't the only place where people are fake/lazy.

The author assumes that he's talking to legitimate vote-riggers, and not just people who will screenshot successful posts, say it was their doing, pocket his money and block him.

AGI answer: "Individual people must change their habits"

I feel like there was a lot of nonsense ideas for what is such a short, and supposedly journalistically rigorous article

Looking at your post comment history, you've posted the same roles since June, and had a 60 person team for 3 months. Why are you posting if you're not hiring?

It looks like you copy/pasted this from the post you made in last month's thread. You're still hiring for the same positions? Are you actually hiring? Why haven't you filled any of these roles? Why are you posting if you're not actually hiring?

> Obvious and dead horse beaten issue. I’m working on solving this and will report here when I’ve got a prototype. Surprising insights arise from pondering the philosophy of show and tell-specifically how listening is involved in order to “earn” your turn to speak.

Do you ever look at what you've written and ask yourself: "Would somebody else understand this"? Could you say it again, but using enough words this time?
