I've never used a Grok model before because I have my OpenRouter settings on ZDR-only. I just checked, and apparently there are ZDR xAI endpoints now [1], so I might actually try this. Out of curiosity, does anyone here happen to kno

Probably not complete BS. This is anecdotal, but years of experience has taught me that aluminum-containing antiperspirants cause contact dermatitis for me after extended use. I was also diagnosed with a nickel allergy by a dermatologist wh

As a child circa 2000, I remember seeing explicit bestiality porn pop-ups while looking up video game cheat codes. You're right, the internet is much different now, and not in the way you're implying.

I use self-hosted SearXNG as part of my low-budget, privacy-oriented home AI stack with Open WebUI. It's a pretty useful tool! I'm a bit hesitant to post this because I'm not really here for self-promotion, but at some point

Yes, I was referring to that comment. You knew exactly which one I was talking about without pointing it out specifically, so why should I have bothered? Now you just dropped five links in an attempt to demonstrate that Chinese aggression i

Elsewhere in this thread you insinuated that someone is a Chinese propagandist for pointing out that the US is actually aggressive in ways China is not. If you're going to assume other people have ulterior agendas without evidence, you

Less likely to align with your interests maybe, but have you considered that not everyone has the same interests? Personally I am much more concerned about handing my data over to the government that actually has power over me and labels

This is exactly why I had an LLM customize the letter as I said in my other comment; I've had a similar response from another of my representatives. It might not help much if they're filtering based on where the email is coming fr

Also, if you have a couple extra minutes to spare, consider handing the letter and the name of your senator to an LLM (I used Deepseek V4 Pro) with instructions to research your representative and tailor the message to them specifically.

In my opinion the issue is that many (maybe most) people who've heard of Midjourney associate the brand with AI slop imagery. Whether that reputation is fair or not is beside the point.

Partisan? I saw no mention of any political party. Hate-filled? Are you sure you don't just disagree? Not arguing that it deserves to be on top or anything, but I thought HN encourages substantive commentary over complaints about the a

Indeed, I used the word "likely" for a reason. n = 1 isn't enough to identify a pattern. Try different models, try re-rolling the answers, and try turning reasoning off (models can catch "knee-jerk" mistakes in thei

Ask an American LLM (really any LLM, since Chinese models are trained on the same publicly-available English text) who the first Black man in space was. You'll likely get the name of the first African-American in space, rather than the

The Axios article[1] I read says "calls from Amazon — as well as at least five other companies to a variety of senior administration officials Thursday evening and Friday morning — led to the model being shut down by Friday night"

After what happened to TikTok, I don't think it's a stretch.

They refused to allow autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. They were fine with use in weapons with a human in-the-loop and with surveilling non-US nations.

DeepSeek is not the only provider of inference for their models. Chinese subsidies likely do explain DeepSeek's ability to provide inference cheaper than other providers, but even a US provider like DeepInfra can serve DeepSeek 4 Pro a

I hope StyleGAN isn't too tiresome here by now. This is a Twitter bot I put together in the last couple days. The model still needs to train longer, as it hasn't converged, but I might not finish it so I figured I'd put up wh
