itsTyrion··on Veo 2: Our video generation model
Impressive we can do that - but, again, a hyped up solution in search for a problem after pouring tons of resources into it
itsTyrion··on Quantized Llama models with increased speed and a reduced memory footprint
I've tried using 3B outside of production. Asked it to be the character needed, like 30 words and use German. Instructions were consistently ignored, sometimes sentences devolved into Gibberish or English was mixed in halfway through. Don't even want to know how lobotomized 1B is.

Wait, so I can get incorrect information and text summaries with things added or cut off even faster and on mobile now? that's amazing.
itsTyrion··on We outsmarted CSGO cheaters with IdentityLogger
I’ve only done it for Minecraft and it was kinda fun.
itsTyrion··on Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency
What about Software for hardware (Mouse, Keyboard, Audio Interface) and some productivity apps?
itsTyrion··on I Am Tired of AI
Same goes for art. No longer can you see art on social media, press like and maybe leave a nice comment, you need to fricking pixel peep for artifacts as it's becoming less obvious.
itsTyrion··on We fine-tuned Llama 405B on AMD GPUs
Damn, ML/AI performance is that different? In games, 4090 -> 7900 XTX is more like -20%
itsTyrion··on I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
> literal seconds

Under what condition, the root pw being "admin"?

itsTyrion··on Troubleshooting: Terminal Lag
"abysmal"?? Literally the first time I've seen someone negatively mention latency on a recent Macbook
itsTyrion··on macOS in QEMU in Docker
And practically even a minimal debian install takes minutes to boot to TTY with qemu-aarch64 on AMD64
itsTyrion··on Porffor: A from-scratch experimental ahead-of-time JS engine
Honestly, I’m fine with only some speed up compared to V8, it’s already pretty fast… My issue with desktop/mobile apps using web tech (JS) is mostly the install size and RAM hunger.
itsTyrion··on Immunotherapy Is Changing Cancer Treatment Forever
thanks. even though "nymag" is a new name to me, I "reached my free article limit"
itsTyrion··on Amazon fined $5.9M for breaking labor law in California
5.9 mil?? that's like fining a working class citizen 5 cents LMAO
itsTyrion··on I can't use my number pad for 2FA codes
1Password just added Auto type in the Lab section of the app for desktop apps and… that. It types username/email, hits enter, password, enter.
itsTyrion··on PuTTY vulnerability vuln-p521-bias
Heartbleed was a decade ago? JFC I’m getting old
itsTyrion··on A disk so full, it couldn't be restored
Fun (until you run into it) fact: the same thing is possible with BTRFS and ZFS. If you manage fill it to the brim, you might have a problem. BTRFS tries to become read-only while there is still room for metadata so you can remount it in safe mode and delete something, but no safecguard is perfect.

> ran both NTFS and FAT32 to 0b and was able to delete something.

AFAIK those aren’t journaled, no?

itsTyrion··on Tell HN: Reddit now blocks VPN access via browser, 'old' subdomain included
I actually dislike the fedi fragmentation too much. Yes, ik that's the appeal for some people but I really don't like just how split it is
itsTyrion··on Xz: Can you spot the single character that disabled Linux landlock?
also applies for c/с - the с (Cyrillic s) is on the same key as the Latin c on a Russian keyboard. bottom row starts with zxc/ячс respectively.
itsTyrion··on Vultr is now claiming full perpetual commercial rights over all hosted content
really? it was captured like quoted: https://web.archive.org/web/20240305043015/https://www.vultr...
itsTyrion··on OpenVoice: Versatile instant voice cloning
that's... exactly what they did. They hired real VAs that recorded some lines that are used as-is in the game, and stuff for training, which is to make more dynamic commentary about the match. It was a controversy because people saw "AI" and lost their marbles. Nothing wrong if it's contracted/licensed training data.
itsTyrion··on The Apple Jonathan: A 1980s concept computer that never shipped
ok but why does it look so cool
itsTyrion··on Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
that's... creative. and patient. 11/10 concerning - now I'm wondering how many other projects could have shit like this in them or added right as I'm writing this shudder
itsTyrion··on Microsoft is ending support for the Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA)
What’s n.b.?
itsTyrion··on DOOM rendered via console.log() in a web browser (2021)
impressive that it works at all, but WAY too laggy to even think about playing
itsTyrion··on Facial recognition error message on vending machine sparks concern at university
Where are the vandals when you need them?
itsTyrion··on Phind-70B: Closing the code quality gap with GPT-4 Turbo while running 4x faster
they are already financing it, there are 2 paid plans [0]. For THAT, you need an account (but no phone number).

itsTyrion··on Reddit beats film industry again, won't have to reveal pirates' IP addresses
Well, they want 7 years of logs. 110 * 365.25 * 7 * users = quite a bit
itsTyrion··on AdGuard Home: Network-wide ad- and tracker-blocking DNS server
I gave up on using anything that isn’t the default/auto DNS for when I’m on the go more, as it breaks every single public wifi hotspot that has a login/I-agree-to-not-do-illegal-shit-etc page that obv cannot be resolved
itsTyrion··on The VAE Used for Stable Diffusion Is Flawed
so many kWh wasted
itsTyrion··on MobileDiffusion: Rapid text-to-image generation on-device
