I wonder how a RWKV variant of this would fare...

Lately I've seen this statement that I agree with: for some people, a hobby is a means to an end (which means using AI to achieve the goal is a heresy), for others, it is the end in itself (which it isn't).

I just heard about them today. The only other person mentioned in the story that I've heard about once was Aella. I mean, why should I have heard about them if I'm not in SV?

Me too. I worked in two enterprise tech companies that definitely everybody here knows and I had the same experience with YC and HN. The two colleagues that knew about it, one went to found his own startup and went through YC, the other lef

Well, it's the enterprise software house pipeline... The software architect writes the spec, hands it down to the implementation team, senior leads, junior devs or offshore teams codes it. I also disagree with the approach, this is car

Exactly. Sometimes I just need a 3D printed part to finish a DIY project, I don't want to waste hours designing it. I had my fair share of time playing around with SketchUp when I was a teenager, but that's it.

Criminals don't need Astra or Fable. Get a bunch of GPUs, a good enough open weight model and a custom harness. What the model doesn't have in its weights it can research the Internet. How do you think black hat hacking is being d

I'm getting "spike" for a while now, and just found out the newest word which is "gauntlet".

Same feeling as well. Bluesky is also a place amenable to bots.

Huh, maybe that’s why I’m more empathetic towards them compared to my fellow millennials?

Uh, actively trying to hack an embedded device that runs Linux over the network, specifically an IP security camera, could be considered red teaming, no? You never mentioned which exact activities you were getting flagged on and getting ref

What is the harness that you're using? I found that GLM-5.2 was pretty happy helping me reverse engineer/hack devices. Maybe the system prompt you're injecting is making it refuse?

For my own stuff I simply don't care if Z.ai is learning straight from me or from my GitHub repo a few days later when I push the code. When I use it for reverse engineering, same thing, the code is already out there, but in binary for

Why do you assume $20k as the cost to run the fiber? The cost is the contractor's hours to get up a ladder on each electricity pole from the closest PON splitter to the customer's home, plus the fiber itself which is peanuts at vo

Direct democracy doesn't mean everyone votes on everything. At the extreme you could do something like localized e-voting: citizens vote on issues that affect a given geographic radius of where they live. Because the boundaries are pur

The issue is that those marketplaces got too mainstream, and the average consumer is too stupid. 10-15 years ago if you were importing stuff from China you'd know that the trade off for cheaper prices is that you'd lose your consu

I got hit with cyber safeguards by asking Opus 5 to interact with my company's product development server using python/curl. I'd love to use the Chinese models in my day job!

This is why I'm optimistic that we'll see a renaissance in hobby computing. AI is the new BASIC.

I know how mmap works. The JVM is/was terrible on freeing allocated memory though. If the program is actively using that allocation, that's fine. My problem is with the runtime hoarding RAM when it should have been freed after GC
23.
by rescbr 1mo ago
The JVM has a fixed size heap which for me it is wasteful. IMHO, Microsoft made the correct approach on .NET. For LLMs, I prefer C# and C++ instead of TypeScript, JavaScript or Python as the static + compiled language factor keeps the codin

I guess it’s ages of fake download button ads in download pages. My instinct is “if it is an ad, then whatever it is offering is a scam”.

Eh, the ugly side of humanity was just a click away on the darknet, and I got my share of bait and switch beheading videos on IRC chats. It was always there, society hasn’t changed. This shit wasn’t monetized back then though.

Agreed. I was a middle-schooler in the 2000's, had my own PC in my own bedroom, we had broadband access and I, of course, was exposed to porn while I was trying to download cracks and keygens on Astalavista and other such sites. Mislab

AI doesn't get tired. I can tell it to profile the application and find quick wins and it usually does a decent enough job.

Sure, but you can review the git repo's content/commits in plain text, while curl-pipe-bash would require you to reverse engineer the binary that's downloaded. If somebody hacks the project's home page and switches the d

I personally also don't like this, so use cargo to install it, it's in the readme. Takes a reasonable time to build on my X220, but on a modern computer it is plenty fast. cargo install --locked --git https://github.
