I'm a fool for thinking that MiMo, in the context of Xiaomi who makes WiFi equipment (smartphones and routers), would be about network technology to manage parallel data streams (multiple inputs, multiple outputs https://en.

And zero click (but download a malicious file, point your config to it in a roundabout way, and trigger the configured shortcut) was also a honest mistake?

That makes sense to me. Guess one might say the same for game icons and other such files that lay around in disks, but yeah maybe it's as simple as that

Arguably, but that's not the point. Take image (e.g. png) files on a CD-ROM shipped by a game vendor, which can be trivially copied even by my grandma. That doesn't move the game vendor to release them as freely distributable unde

"Small" models are the ones I can run myself on my own terms. LLMs aren't useful enough for me to justify spending hundreds of euros on a GPU with 16GB VRAM or something, and that's assuming I have the rest of the deskto

If it's anything like the Dutch or German infosec agencies, "worst of both worlds" is about as far from the truth as you can get. Maybe it works that way in Saudi Arabia but it's not "reporting yourself" here
