Literally was concerned about this today. I'm giving AI access to file system commands...

Don't take this seriously, but here is what I imagined happened: Sam/OpenAI, Google, and Claude met at a park, everyone left their phones in the car. They took a walk and said "We are all losing money, if we secretly degrade

I dont think its safe to assume perfect balance. Further, I know it goes against economic orthodoxy, but I am a big fan of buying low and selling high. When the market is bad, I become more frugal, I might even run on debt instead of sellin

Is this actually true? I think about my lab classes and typically these were separate credit hours. More money to the university. Outside chemistry, we were using outdated equipment that wasn't getting refreshed/bought new. If wha

Wild to see how far they've fallen. Although I think this was basically the turning point for Nintendo. The GC intentionally avoided competing(at least on graphics) and was still a financial success. From there, Nintendo relied on gimm

Anyone like GrapheneOS better? Like it has some features? Or is it a locked down version of Android?

I wish the parents could be given a bit of credit. Instead we pretend the kid was doing this all solo... Its way less impressive when the parents are guiding them. But the parents are doing lots of unappreciated work here. /parent here

I use my local AI, so: yes very much. Fancy RAM doesn't mean much when you are just using it for facebook. Oh I guess you can pretend to use Local LLMs on HN too.

>Yes a good phone can run a quantised 8B too. Mac expectations in a nutshell lmao I already knew this because we tried doing it at an enterprise level, but it makes me well aware nothing has changed in the last year. We are not talking a

Hobbes says that talking to someone with courtesy is honor(giving them relative power), and talking trashy is dishonor(reducing their relative power). Its not very long, but I use this in my daily life: https://www.gutenberg.org&

This isnt perfect. Our household income is probably 500k/yr and growing in a city with an average income of ~100k+. If I wear nice stuff to the park with the kids, I'm noticed. If I wear raggy gym clothes, I'm ignored. My bes

I told this story about the old man in his 70s walking through a plant, giving his multi-decades expertise in how to solve our foam problems. Everyone else wore a polo... This guy genuinely didn't care. He was making $500/hr and d

Ahhh you are confusing bitcoin with s---coins. I'm 100% with you on that one. Minus the confusion. Yeah web 3 was so dumb. Blockchain for a non-rewritable database? lmaoooo

Wow, I feel bad for you.

Uh... So I've been telling AI to write a single page html/js OCR app. And I'll include the pdf I want as an attachment. I have 4 of these now, some are better than others. But all worked great.

But you arent really running LLMs. You just say you are. There is novelty, but not practical use case. My $700, 2023, 3060 laptop runs 8B models. At the enterprise level we got 2, A6000s. Both are useful and were used for economic gain. I d

That was a binary situation and more evidence wasnt helping improve anything. You could change the standards. If any of the 4 fail, then reject the data.

>with little power and without triggering its fan. This is how I know something is fishy. No one cares about this. This became a new benchmark when Apple couldn't compete anywhere else. I understand if you already made the mistake o

'fast' I'm sure it can do 2+2= fast After that? No way. There is a reason NVIDIA is #1 and my fortune 20 company did not buy a macbook for our local AI. What inspires people to post this? Astroturfing? Fanboyism? Post Purchas

Why 128GB? At 80B, you could do 2 A6000s. What device is 128gb?

>I don't really think there is a lot of differences between the two. Did your sarcasm include that sentence? If not, I suggest you stop doom scrolling. You don't really believe this? That would be wild.

Android and Linux's source code is available. So its easy to find flaws and report them. Linux has live a long time and hasn't had major security issues. (Sometimes you get a compromised vendor down the chain in a single distro) B

I put this into Grok and it got the right answer on quick mode. I did not give multiple choice though. The real solution is to have 4 AI answer and let the human decide. If all 4 say the same thing, easy. If there is disagreement, further a

Interesting marketing idea. But yeah I don't think its anything too surprising about buying exploits and packaging them. I think the article is more of a commentary on how these companies can exist in the open, where as a teenage hacke

Has android been hacked? I only know pegasus broke iOS. I find it interesting that Apple has spun Lockdown mode from a 'we are terrible at security' into a feature for marketing. Now when someone gets hacked Apple can say: "W

Stuff like that is wild to me. At least in the US, we have internal laws democratically elected that can force things to happen (Epstein transparency act for example). In China, it can be illegal to even talk about changing the status quo.

Questions: Why hasnt this been used for stealing Crypto? Is there evidence Android OS has been compromised? (I know Samsung phones had an issue) Is there any evidence a Fedora, Debian-family, or linux has been compromised?

Great article until the end when they talked about AI.

Didn't have to click the link. Words don't matter. The fact that their phone security was poor enough for someone to get killed and thousands of others exposed... Oh and PRISM, so... Marketing.
