much respect to the PyPy contributors, but it seems like a pretty fair assessment
electroglyph··on A tool that removes censorship from open-weight LLMs
the default heretic with only 100 samples isn't very good, you really need your own, larger dataset to do a proper abliteration. the best abliteration roughly matches a very careful decensor SFT

my wishlist for pyrefly: when using decorated functions, show the underlying type hints instead of the decorators

> Once people will understand that even a tiny amount of data can slightly change models and still greatly change their behaviour, there will be a shift in AI security.

i think the subliminal learning paper clued a lot of people into that

electroglyph··on Show HN: I used Claude Code to discover connections between 100 books
unrelated in any way? that's not normal. have you tested the model to make sure you have sane output? unless you're using sentence-transformers (which is pretty foolproof) you have to be careful about how you pool the raw output vectors
electroglyph··on Ask HN: What happened to self-hosted models?
there are tons of models released still. even some non-Qwen ones!

electroglyph··on Ask HN: How did you learn to code?
i started with x86 intel asm. i just derped around with ollydbg a lot while i referenced the intel instruction set pdf that i had.

after i was able to do basic patches i learned C# (then 1.0) so that i could load and patch processes in Windows. my patches were relocatable and assembled in the hackiest way, heh. why didn't i do C or C++ like a sane person? dunno, but that's how i started =)
