I think the bigger problem is that this was pushed as a firmware update, bricking previously working devices. Remember when FTDI did this and suddenly medical equipment at some hospital stopped working?

Dont know about that. A significant portion of the posts are of the type "new version of model X was just released" or "I just built something by prompting an LLM a few times". Latest papers from DeepSeek and DeepMind on

"I also now work at Canonical..." You know the guy doesn't easily give up if he has gone through Canonicals famous 10-20 round interviews.

Hold on, what happened with grok?

To be fair, the GPU in pixel 9 and 10 is pretty bad. I really hope they stop using PowerVR in pixel 11.

Yes, but SF salaries are still twice German salaries and probaby 4x Eastern Europe salaries.

Any idea how much this has cost them? Some non-profits have their HQ in the valley and pay SF salaries when they could just as well have paid a fraction of that to a very competent developer elsewhere.

"27 to 30 December 2026" I have always wanted to attend CCC in person, but these dates for the main conference only work if you are 20 and single...

"We implemented a series of aggressive memory optimizations, including..." This whole thing sounds like industrial scale auto-research, but done by people who actually know what they are doing.

Proposal: Set up a mastodon account that mirrors your (or someone elses) X account. This way people who want can continue using X, and other people can read & refer to their posts without needing to log into X.

Importing is usually not an issue, as you can always enter the secret manually. It is the exporting that is the problem. The secret looks something like this: JBSW Y3DPF QQHO .... (usually fairly short unless its google)

The issue is that Android is open while Apple seldom talks about their security issues. This might make Apple look like the more secure option but the reality may be different because Android is more scrutinised. If you are sceptical cons

Some apps such as Aegis allow exporting the MFA secrets.

No, because the software layers between GeekBench and the hardware are not identical on all targets.

Reminder that despite their claims, geekbench results cannot be compared across platforms. They don't only cover CPU and GPU but some OS components that can look very different on different platforms.

Opencode system prompt contains a lot of stuff but even worse is oh-my-pi where their long prompt looks like random garbage hallucinated by a 2023 LLM: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c_fQoDkULl0 (see around 8:00)

For the first time ever, and that for just a short while. And after significant price hikes that has had their biggeat customers looking for alternatives.

DeepSeek, minimax and so on have razer thin margins but unlike openai and Anthropic they are actually making some profit. Doing this doesn't make any financial sense. Maybe Anthropic is confusing Chinese AI providers with token resel

And Adobe? No hold on... Adobe is probably already secretly owned by BS given their business practices.

Can we get a normal landing page please? These AI generated pages make my eyes bleed. Anyway, I find the tiny C3 to be much more stable than other versions. It is a bit sad the very few projects support it.

I think they urgently need to free the compute power currently wasted on the big pro models.

by throwa356262 2mo ago
On the contrary, small efficient models using recent improvements should be more sustainable than huge frontier models that require billions and years to train

I think you are confusing Apple and Arm. Mali drivers are contributed by Arm: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/MAINTAINERS

This Xiaomis second or third chip ever so I assume there will be problems.

My reasoning is that we have seen multiple small labs come out of nowhere and create impressive models.

For the first two, I highly suggest you watch a few of their videos from about a year ago.

I don't know. The moat doesn't seem to exist. Probably safer to stay out of the race for now.

Why? I thought these GPU were open source with mainline kernel support?
