News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Would you mind sharing your setup for using LLMs to generate stls/prints? I’ve had similar experiences as you describe lol
I think this is mostly compounding confidence at play that unlocks your mind to be more fluid when faced with a task to do/problem to solve that actually requires skill (not just following a series of known steps). It’s like public speaking (unless you have really bad stage fright) you generally will give a better presentation if you really know your stuff, or at least will be less nervous allowing yourself to get into that flow state.

Who asked for this? Lol

Wait I’m confused- is this because you believe all music produced post 2024 is ai generated/ai assisted?
This probably works with PDF parsing as well I’m sure, even if it’s just from not having to parse pdf format alone.

This is insane lol- not like a “wow this is scary” insane but more like “really? you need a frontier model to this??”

Let’s say this is the case it still does not explain what the real end game looks like. What do you think?

Did they state what made them have that hunch?
I kinda felt like this was coming so mid last year I built a local rig with the top of the line parts I could afford at the time lol (rtx5090/ryzen9 etc) now I just need to build out my inference setup (sadly m3 ultras r insanely expensive now) - I have a feeling they will try to lock down usage of open source LLMs too. I don’t get how token moat can exist if local inference rigs can be built out and serve open source models locally for nothing (besides power cost).
Is it really crazy though? Sad, but given the state of everything I don’t find this crazy.
What’s the purpose of licensing requiring though things though if someone could just use an open source model to do that anyway? If someone were going to do those things you mentioned why do it through some commercial enterprise tool? I can see maybe licensing requiring a certain level of hardening to prevent prompt injections, but ultimately it still really comes down to how much power you give the model in whatever context it’s operating in.
I circled back to this, The only mechanics I can think of and I’m not sure if it’s really even really a thing (maybe someone can chime in) is that market makers buying shares to cover their calls or something along those lines? How does one even really trace this type of transaction?
Dang so this is much more comprehensive than a normal polygraph. I know the write up says it would be almost impossible to beat, but is that true?
Can you elaborate on the mechanical point you mentioned? And by someone needed collateral, does that mean whoever it was bought ORCL at that time to hold as collateral? How do you even figure that out?
When you say debt financing (Oracle) does that mean Oracle is actually financing the loans to these other companies? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding.
Forreal that’s what really gets me about this haha. Literally billions of dollars burned on bullshit.
I did not get him running for president from this. Which part made you think that?

I am building a new rig after years of solely using a MacBook, and reading all these horror stories of windows 10/11 I am just gonna go with Ubuntu. I may dual boot with windows but only if really needed.

Re:F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @04:13PM (#45597821)
Yeah that’s what I’m understanding is the case. That’s why they’re harping on no known (unreleased) vulns. But it’s kinda funny, a lot of times bugs that fall under this category are constantly shuffled around/not fixed because there is no public pressure to address them.
Re:F5 says hackers stole undisclosed BIG-IP flaws, source code on Wednesday October 15, 2025 @12:41PM (#45595174)
“No one will ever find these vulns without source access! Fix deferred” oh wait…
Our political leaders refuse to even say the word genocide - I don’t think they give damn.

Also wouldn’t all information have to be available to all participants? How does insider knowledge factor here (because it sure does in the market)

I don’t think that’s the case actually - there was a case recently where someone got sentenced to jail time just for selling a template that could be used to do so: https://www.justice.gov/usao-mdfl/pr/youtuber-and-auto-key-c...
Re:Evidence that AI is destroying jobs for young people on Wednesday September 03, 2025 @08:35PM (#45122043)
What was the reasoning behind this change? Isn’t R&D something we’d encourage to be a tax write off since it reduces the cost of well.. R&D? Or is R&D not as important as I’m thinking?
