I think what irritates people is that there isn't a natural variation to whatever pattern it uses.

And I don't really know why both patterns don't appear equally.

Intuitively I just can't grasp how it can be so selective with the phrases it generates.

If you can't make it, then Ticketmaster/whoever should be compelled to refund you, and then they can sell it again.

The fact that they are all selling out displays demand for these gigs so it won't hurt TM/LN. They want to be a monopoly, then they have to live with the consequences.

GPT-2 was obviously too dangerous to release at the time! It's OK-ish now, when the knowledge that AI can produce arbitrary text is widely shared. It would have been a disaster for scammers and phishers to get GPT-2 at a time when almost everyone still assumed that large volumes of detailed text proved there's a real human being on the other end of the conversation.

I'm not arguing for ditching cheese either (I love cheese, esp goat cheese - which conveniently is often a more pleasant experience for the goats) but here is a recipe that I quite liked for a cheese-like cashew/brewer's yeast spread. I'm pretty sure I transcribed this correctly. Let me know if anything seems off :)

    Pimento Cheese Spread
    Blend until smooth:
    1c. water (may use water from pimentos)
    ¾ c. cashew nuts or sunflower seeds
    2 T sesame seeds
    1¼  tsp salt
    3 T Brewer's yeast flakes
    ⅔ c. rolled oats (only if being used for lasagna)
    1 tsp onion powder
    ⅛ tsp garlic powder
    ⅛ tsp dill seed
    ½ c. pimentos
    ¼ c. lemon juice (or to taste)
    May add 2 T. arrowroot or cornstarch if used for spread

Some people are speculating that Opus 4.7 is distilled from Mythos due to the new tokenizer (it means Opus 4.7 is a new base model, not just an improved Opus 4.6)

All LLMs also effectively work by ”larping” a role. You steer it towards larping a caveman and well.. let’s just say they weren’t known for their high iq

Another email sending service without support for idempotency?

I do it for around 20% of my PRs. However my employer is complaining that my numbers are below their 100% target. So I am being penalised for trying to keep my skills up.

It seems they nerf it, then release a new version with previous power. So they can do this forever without actually making another step function model release.

The headline wasn't "Taylor Otwell bought a Lambo in 2022 and now injects ads...".

VCs typically want a return on their 57 million dollar investment.

They are planning to release a Mythos-class model (from the initial announcement), but they won't until they can trust their safeguards + the software ecosystem has been sufficiently patched.

I currently run the qwen3.5-122B (Q4) on a Strix Halo (Bosgame M5) and am pretty happy with it. Obviously much slower than hosted models. I get ~ 20t/s with empty context and am down to about 14t/s with 100k of context filled.

No tuning at all, just apt install rocm and rebuilding llama.cpp every week or so.

Firefox hit a peak of 32% and has fallen ever since. Effectively Firefox crashed at the same time IE did, and I can’t see in what way Mozilla ever attempted to recover.

In my junior dev days I always paid for the resources I used. Just because you consume a lot of resources by accident that doesn't mean you shouldn't have to pay for it. Accidents do not absolve you from liability.

There is a new flag for terminal flickering issues:

> Claude Code v2.1.89: "Added CLAUDE_CODE_NO_FLICKER=1 environment variable to opt into flicker-free alt-screen rendering with virtualized scrollback"

Interesting. Seems analogous to the atrophy of navigation abilities caused by over-reliance on GPS. I wonder if there's a common underlying mechanism.

I'd love to think that this person is a rogue AI, (better than Claude mythos?) Dropping two zero days in one month is pretty interesting. Nice work.

absolutely not on par you're smoking

Well, we've sacrificed the precision of actual programming languages for the ease of English prose interpreted by a non-deterministic black box that we can't reliable measure the outputs of. It's only natural that people are trying to determine the magical incantations required to get correct, consistent results.

Anyone who's ever had to delegate DNS authority on anything other than an 8-bit boundary can understand the value of that feature.

At face value, yeah, that's replacing "8" with "4," but from a practical perspective, delegating authority for a customer IPv4 /25 requires, at minimum, 128 records. (Granted, there's also no practical need to be stingy about IPv6 allocations -- that IPv4 /25 customer could simply receive an IPv6 /48.)

I would firmly expect to see a lot more formulaic reverse (and presumably forward) DNS responses, where needed, since filling files with records you need to store on disk (and in memory) doesn't scale well. The tech has existed for years; I wrote my own implementation years ago, but these days I'd use something like PowerDNS with https://github.com/wttw/regexdns .

This steps over the fact that the first crime is considerably messy while the other is extremely clean and can be committed where the law cannot see without a warrant.

There is not much developers UNDERSTAND about email, let alone believe... There's soo much to read into this product.. and it boils down to JASS ( just another spam source) .

mozilla will do literally anything but make firefox better
