broodbucket··on Chip stocks slide in US and Asia as AI jitters rattle investors
The doomers aren't the one investing billions, so I think they're a slightly lower cause for concern than the ones significantly reshaping the economy.
broodbucket··on Our position on open-weights models
You're right, but American models aren't super different in that regard. Ask an American model about Israel and you can immediately tell they're responding in a different manner to other queries. At least with open-weights models you have the opportunity to tune them, to decensor them, and so on.
broodbucket··on Our position on open-weights models
I don't think people are saying China isn't bad, they're saying it's incredibly hypocritical because the US is also bad
broodbucket··on Kimi-K3 Releases on HuggingFace 7/27
It's good because it's an actual standard instead of 7/27 which is backwards for half the world. Besides, I'm actually from the future and they delayed the model a year, learning from Anthropic that good models are actually about to bring the end of society.
broodbucket··on Kimi-K3 on HuggingFace
You're not having a party?

20270727 if we're improving dates :)
broodbucket··on LLM Usage in Debian: Three Proposals
That is how policy tends to work
broodbucket··on Open-weight AI is having its Kubernetes moment
It's an asset, though, and bizarrely it's one that's been appreciating the past 5 years
broodbucket··on Show HN: Claude-thermos keeps your Claude session warm for you
Yes, you're paying the cache read, not the cache write, which is much more expensive. You can do the math for how many 5min refreshes you can be afk for until it starts costing instead of saving
broodbucket··on Show HN: Claude-thermos keeps your Claude session warm for you
You can send and receive 1 byte and refresh the cache. Keeping the cache alive isn't free, but it's close.
broodbucket··on So Reddit has decided that plain HTML is unsafe
How is that any different to HN?
broodbucket··on Judge approves $1.5B Anthropic settlement for pirated books used to train Claude
There can be more than one problem at once
broodbucket··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
There isn't, I think the point is in terms of how "far ahead" models are, K3 was likely trained much more recently than Mythos was. It's just something to note, it's not especially prescriptive.

Mythos was withheld because of the threat to security and/or marketing stunt (depending on your leaning), I don't see what benefit there could be for not releasing K3 immediately.

broodbucket··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
To the public. Mythos has been in active use for quite a while.
broodbucket··on Advertise in ChatGPT
It's bleedingly obvious satire, you shouldn't need a /s for everything
broodbucket··on Xiaomi-Robotics-1
I have been slopfolding since before it was cool
broodbucket··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
Since they became Oppo in a wig there's really been no reason to buy their products.
broodbucket··on OnePlus halts operations in USA and Europe
They settled long, long ago
broodbucket··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
I can't help but glaze over any AI written documentation. If it wasn't worth the time to write then it's surely not going to be worth the time to read
broodbucket··on The git history command
Having a well curated one-logical-change-per-commit history is incredibly valuable when bisecting a regression.
broodbucket··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
I don't think it's wrong to do this and I'm glad it's fun for some, it's just not the same as seeing a project like this that was human authored
broodbucket··on Linux 0.11 rewritten in idiomatic Rust, boots in QEMU
I hate that 5 years ago I'd see a headline like this and think it was awesome, and now it's just "look at what someone's spent tokens on today"
broodbucket··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
Mind sharing your llama.cpp settings for that?
broodbucket··on DSpark: Speculative decoding accelerates LLM inference [pdf]
Look at how far OpenAI has drifted from their original mission. Everything comes back to greed, so it's ideal for the world if selfish motives happen to coincide with what's good for the world, like advancements in open models
broodbucket··on Crypto in 2026: Oh, This Is the Bad Place
Really wish we could go back to saying "cryptocurrency", it is incredibly depressing that the world has decided that "cryptocurrency" is more relevant than "cryptography"...
broodbucket··on I've always wondered if anyone used sharing buttons on news sites and blogs
I don't click share buttons because I don't know what it's going to do. I don't want something copied that says "Check out this Thing on this Site! <url>" because then I have to delete half of it at which point it's slower than copying the URL. If every share button had the same behaviour then maybe I would.
broodbucket··on AI agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42
Surely not coincidental with having unprecedented access to a global network of people to reach, worse economic opportunities than any other living generation and limited means to change matters on their own, and the USA which is the largest exporter of global culture has GoFundMe as an essential part of its healthcare system
broodbucket··on OpenAI mulls slashing prices as it competes with Anthropic for users
Enterprise market is paying by token and using a lot of tokens. Consumer market is paying a subscription that they can't raise too high or they'll lose users to competition. Seems to me that the enterprise market scales a lot higher.
broodbucket··on OpenAI mulls slashing prices as it competes with Anthropic for users
They have the consumer market but want the enterprise market, because it's a lot more lucrative, so they're probably going to just keep chasing that even though there's no signs they'll stop losing to Anthropic. They don't need to do that much to keep the consumer market because of momentum.
broodbucket··on AI agent runs amok in Fedora and elsewhere
You can but that doesn't help you keep the flood of contributions out when you don't have the time or resources to properly discern good from bad. Maintainers would rather have 10 good human authored patches than 100 patches from LLMs, even if 20 of them are good. Even if 50 of them are good, probably.
