Cakez0r··on Study: Young users (9 to 18Y) ditch Google for AI, with unknown consequences
Nice presupposition in the headline that children using Google® is the good, safe and natural order of things. Using AI must be bad, scary and dangerous

Cakez0r··on Exfiltrate your Weights
If an LLM can pwn the inference servers, which has precedent, then the weights could be up for grabs.
Cakez0r··on I Added a Non-Wi-Fi Mitsubishi AC to Home Assistant
Fwiw I have a Samsung AC system and Claude was able to one-shot a custom web dashboard to control it.
Cakez0r··on Ask HN: What default model do you use and why?
I've been trying Grok 4.6 (High) alongside Claude Opus 5 (High). Grok is capable, but disappointing compared to Opus. My experience with Grok has also made me a little skeptical of benchmarks, because the two models benchmark similarly but it (subjectively) feels like there is quite a big capability gap between the two.
Cakez0r··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
Just like that! I will give it a try
Cakez0r··on google.com/goto: Google's anti-scraping update
It would be interesting to see a decentralised, residential collective that builds and publishes an index. There are surely enough interested people on HN alone that would be willing to run software at home to scrape a small slice of the internet.

If it's true just link to a first party example on the yandex site

> So how do you migrate 2.4 million lines of code?

> Very carefully, and in multiple stages.

Cakez0r··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
They're both the same root cause. Command injection in notifications
Cakez0r··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
The two links are the same same bug. Hardly "full of security holes"
Cakez0r··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
"full of security holes" but the author could only name one (the two links in the opening paragraph are the same issue).

Some people just hate DHH and can't separate the art from the artist

Cakez0r··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
Omarchy does all of those things
Cakez0r··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
The hype is real though. It's a great distro
Cakez0r··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
It was (pretty much) just dot files and curated software, although I think that description downplays the value of having a perfectly tuned system out of the box - like saying a log cabin is just a bunch of sticks. The assembly matters and the end result is something greater than the sum of its parts.

That aside, the latest release (Quattro) has also added a bunch of bespoke software (technically quickshell configuration, if you don't want to call it software) which has added a new layer of polish. For my taste it has been a real joy to use and a lot of fun to explore and play around with. Could be worth checking out if you haven't looked in a while!

What don't you like about Omarchy? I'm not young and I used Fedora before Omarchy. I think it's excellent
Cakez0r··on Anthropic's 'watermark' text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
This could be why claude code has recently started to write reams of inane comments alongside the code it generates.
Cakez0r··on Anthropic's ‘watermark’ text adulteration in Claude is a perversion of writing
I think you're right that it's actually to do with attribution (i.e. They're not just watermarking your output as claude generated, but watermarking it as claude generated _by claude user id 73684_). I think it's more to do with the growing militarization of the internet. Just another brick in the wall of enter your phone number to create an account, send your id to prove your age, smile for the flock cameras, etc. Allowing the plebs to have privacy and anonymity is not allowed anymore.
Cakez0r··on Polling shows a growing political reckoning is coming for data centers
Yes

It falls from the sky

Septic tank

Cakez0r··on I Want to Leave the Internet
The internet is like a militarised zone now. Joining a new website feels like going through airport security and being on the modern web feels like being stuck in an economy seat on a budget airline.
Cakez0r··on An update on residential proxies and the scraper situation
If you don't live in a first world country then you will also find yourself on the "too bad, don't care" list.
Cakez0r··on AI-generated videos to maximally drive a target brain region
In their defence, don't shoot the messenger. Just because they published it doesn't mean that others haven't already discovered it. Better to know its possible than be completely ignorant.
Cakez0r··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
I'm seeing that the headline chart of the article is inexplicably deceptive. Why not use coloured data points and a legend? If you're going to have logos with lines pointing to the data points, why make the data points and lines feint grey so that they're barely visible? Why does grok have a comically long line extended out to the right of its data point when every other logo is positioned below its data point? You could say it's an honest mistake, but this whole article reeks of "Elon bad" astroturfing.

Cakez0r··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
All the chatbots refused to confirm your political bias. Seems like a win to me
Cakez0r··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
The overall chart on their page seems politically biased, or at the very least a chart crime. The logos have faint grey lines pointing to their actual data points, conspicuously making Grok look very far right. You wouldn't know it from glancing at the chart, but they measured Chatgpt being further to the left than Grok is to the right.
Cakez0r··on Foreign-Born Entrepreneurs Drive America's Unicorn Boom
> The next time someone talks about restricting immigration, show them this: Nearly half of America’s billion-dollar startups were founded by people born outside the United States.

I don't think the people that talk about restricting immigration care about the number of billion dollar companies that immigrants create

Cakez0r··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
Mimo 2.5 pro is the best intelligence / dollar
Cakez0r··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
I'm not sure about those parameter sizing claims. Regardless of parameter size, benchmarked intelligence of Chinese and Western frontier models is comparable, so who cares how many parameters it takes to get there.

Mimo is also widely available on western providers. It's on openrouter and you can sign up with Xiaomi directly for a token plan on an English website priced in dollars.

Cakez0r··on I built a vulnerable app and spent $1,500 seeing if LLMs could hack it
0/10 succesful attempts for mimo v2.5 pro (high) using opencode. It was not able to think bigger than exploiting vectors outside of the API.

However, I felt the prompt was implying that only authenticated API requests are fair game, so I tweaked it slightly to be explicit that all attack vectors are fair game (https://www.diffchecker.com/GsgpuRGP/) and mimo 2.5 non-pro got it first time. I accidentally used openrouter for this test instead of my token plan. I intervened one time to stop it enumerating every document in the database (it would've found the private reviews this way but I didn't want to wait). My intervention was "are you really going to enumerate the whole database?". Final openrouter cost: $0.12
