I don't remember that being there, but you know how memory can be. I checked the Wayback Machine and it has a snapshot of the page that does not mention it. The snapshot is from September 1st, not from yesterday, so perhaps they changed it before this announcement and my comment was made. But I personally don't think so.

I might be misreading this. But they seem to heavily imply that they trained this model. Or at least want to give off the impression that that is the case. Otherwise the "Europe's Leading Model" line doesn't make much sense.

Their bread and butter is to remove parameters from models [1] and I think this is GLM 5.2 with parameters removed. Its advertised in their changelog [2] as "capabilities are identical to GLM 5.2," it has the same two effort settings "high" and "max," and both are text only [3]. I might be wrong about this, but I would love to hear more about what they did before changing my mind.

Not the greatest fan of the marketing personally. Irrespective of what this model is.

PKGBUILDs are more powerful than that. They might download dependencies for the build from a package registry like npm, pypi, or crates, they might download and apply patches, and run arbitrary build scripts.

Changes to some of that might be easy to catch, but if the PKGBUILD depends on external resources, it can be quite hard to audit. I am not saying this is good practice, but you can see these sort of things happen all the time on the AUR.

> No, I'm sorry but who on earth installs random software from random strangers, without a single step of validating before giving it access to (presumably) the same computer you do banking on?

I would assume essentially everyone? `curl https://random-website.com/script.sh | sh` is one of the most common way of installing software outside of perhaps Flatpak. AppImage is essentially the same as piping a script from the internet into bash.

> reviewing a PKGBUILD takes a few seconds

This assumes a naive attack that is easily visible from the PKGBUILD. Unless the attacker makes no effort to hide their activity, the PKGBUILD will look perfectly ordinary while still installing malware.

None of the 4 plans say anything to the contrary either.

I suppose the difference is that Meta didn't just contribute to Torch, they created it. Meta seems to be quite good at open sourcing things in a way that provides real value to people.

The Github org you linked to mainly seems to have repos for the OpenAI API, which doesn't quite rise to the same level of React and PyTorch.

Unless VLC is one of the historic cases, F-Droid builds apps from source themselves [1]. They are more like a Linux Distro than an app store in that way. VLC hasn't had a new stable version tagged since 3.5.4 so that's what F-Droid ships[2].

Seems reasonable to me. Unless there is a good reason to believe that they have valuable information, ignoring condescending people seems worthwhile. How likely is someone to understand you and your problems when they are condescending? I also have a hard time imagining that this is something limited to Gen-Z.

Mozilla has now the chance to release a Gecko version of iOS Firefox to people living in the EU. That version currently doesn't exist and, depending on how valuable Mozilla thinks a port of Gecko to iOS would be, might never exist. But Apple would be unable to keep it off the App Store without drawing some serious ire from the EU, which is probably not a good thing for them.

I think it would be wise to reflect on whether the next logical step from "I think fines are not effective enough and decision markers should face jail setences" is "I think we should set people on fire as punishment and public entertainment". Do you genuinely believe that a person arguing for the first, would agree or would be close to agreeing with the second?

Its worth noting that this article is based entirely on an anonymous comment made below another article. They also link a Tweet alleging that "[..] other usually credible, usually careful folks positing same idea.", but no links are provided to that.

Is the Windows version ever exposed as a string in the Windows API? Seems strange in my mind, but I have no experience with Windows. On the one hand it sounds like something Microsoft would do for backwards compatibility, but on the other hand it seems like a weird API to provide.

I found GetVersion[1] but that returns the version as two numbers.

Music can also be cached on device and is often replayed. Reducing the amount of bandwidth requirements even further.

Instead its owned by the Government which can borrow an infinite amount of money and does for all kinds of reasons. Right now they spend 1.5 billion Euro each year for the Deutschland Ticket[1].

I am super happy about the ticket and think its a good thing. But lets not pretend its financing would be possible without heavy government spending.

The central issue seems to be that Yoav frames this as a technical discussion. That people are unhappy with how Google tries to achieve the goal.

> Focusing on use cases would enable you to distill the essence of the proposal, and potentially propose alternatives that still address them without the bits you find harmful or risky.

But I think its obvious from discourse around the proposal that the goal itself is the problem. People aren't "constructively involved", not because they don't know how, they aren't because they don't want to construct anything. They think your goal is bad. They want you to stop.

Its safe to assume that whoever OpenAI outsources to does not get access to the model. Collecting data and training models on it will be two different steps.

Seems to work when you go to that link via the homepage but fails to load when you use a direct link or refresh the page. It appends a / to the URL when you use the direct link, which I assume is what breaks it.

It seems to me that this article is not wrong, yet. Unless I misread, it argues that there will never be profitable power plants using fusion, rather than fusion being impossible.

The need for bootstrapping in this context comes from the lack of a compiler for the language you want to implement, as in before the Zig compiler in C++ there was no Zig compiler.

Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl were created by a third party studio:

This post should probably get a (2020).

Huh, this is the first time I have heard about interventions. Checking about:compat on Firefox for Android reveals (perhaps unsurprisingly) multiple fixes for Google sites. I wonder what constitutes deploying an intervention versus letting the site break. I understand that part of the reason Google sites are being fixed by Mozilla is because they are popular.

It is. The author of the repo wrote about it here in German: https://thevamp.cc/2013/10/12/terraria-1-2-decompiling-und-s...

From what I can tell this was originally motivated by bugs in the German version of the game. Back then 1.1.2 was to be the last version of Terraria (a running joke at this point, they announced 1.4.4 a little while ago) and so decompiling seemed like the best option to get those bugs fixed. This might be a more interesting blog post on that topic: https://thevamp.cc/2012/07/16/terraria-1-1-2-zu-terraria-1-1...

Perhaps I am easily amused but this got a chuckle out of me. Its not the first time I have seen a lighthearted comment downvoted on HN, are they against the rules?

You used to be able to replace batteries in smartphones. Back then none of these things were issues. Its hard to imagine why they would be now.

I use it for tethering with my iPhone since my phone internet is better and more stable than the cable internet I have otherwise. I wouldn't be aware that this is possible without Libimobiledevice.

Would you say that only the right is engaging in "identity politcs"?

But that would require you to trust them to actually delete it, if you don't trust them to not abuse your number that's kinda a non starter I would say.
