The pure system of patents and copyright is broken.

Imagine being able to only throwing money and patenting everything, even if it existed before. The legal behinds this will be so mess that no one will be able to produce anything

How they will be able to block you from using your car when they deem that you should by a new one? Or how would they be able to make something a paid feature after you bought it? You need to support these poor fellas

I wonder if this is more ingenious than it appears because the image always load but nothing from the domain does. I wonder if it only answers one specific type of request.

I wonder if that could be used a some sort of osint

motbus3··on Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
i have being using anthropic opus 4.8 and fable 5 for some time now. i also tried latest openai models.

in short, all of them are token diarrhea. Annoyingly logorrheic. they output so much useless stuff that it comes to the point that it makes me thing if that's not on purpose.

it was not because of price, but quality, I started testing other models and honestly, glm 5.2 is FAR SUPERIOR than fable 5 in every aspect. It comes to a surprise when glm 5.2 does not finish the task successfully. Kimi k2.7 does require a bit more of guidance but still better experience than opus 4.8. I have not yet the chance of trying k3.

openai latest model are.... ridiculously bad at software design and implementation.

(note i am only speaking to the domain of my work which has lots of data analysis, machine learning and software engineering.)

according to the warlords that area killing people with ai models while lying about everything that is happening, yes.
motbus3··on Patreon laying off 20% of staff
apart from the fact they are trying to make it in the most possible human way, it feels like they did not need to do it, or at least not at this scale at this moment. everything feels kinda weird in this letter.

After all this effort of not opening the models, then trying to forbid people to use open models and all the rubbish their CEO keeps talking about common people I am done with Anthropic.

I can't use it on good faith Same goes for grok, chat gpt and others all involved in killing people and monopolising the market.

You mean how the stole the product you bought?
motbus3··on LG monitors silently install software through Windows Update without consent
People do whatever they want with their money. I think their products little matter when they are not good people. (And they are not even good products, with some exceptions)

I can't control the world. But I can share my opinion on the matter . I think as long as we accept this poor behaviour companies will have more and more incentives to do it. And worse than that, they will also keep attacking the good folks

I think this is how they are going to make us pay rent for what we bought. They will make everything unusable unless you pay more and make some cuckoo TOS saying that you agree to be held in contempt if you circumvent their measurements.

Honestly, if we don't push it back hard, it will only get worse and worse. Why we were cancelling people if they used wrong pronouns and suddenly we got tired of doing the same with stuff that we all should agree on that is terrible.

I am tired of this. LG is now on my blacklist alongside EA and Blizzard Entertainment for their anti consumer practices. I can't change them, I can't change policies about it. I can choose to not buy.
motbus3··on Where are YC founders now? OpenAI and Anthropic, mostly
they are totally focusing on making those their internal products so they dont need sell ai to customers anymore. that's the future
motbus3··on The lost joy of music piracy
I had spotify premium for ~10 years i think. I recently cancelled. I travel a lot, so now they started complaining i was not listening near my address.

then they started blocking family members because i was not around.

then they wanted to charge in a different coin because i was not home, but EVEN if i would their login doesnt work because it redirects me to a different country if i am abroad.

they are vibe coding too hard that they add all bs they think is a good idea. it was a good push for me to cancel that.

motbus3··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
I need help understanding this. I understood that the magic here is the quantization that allows it to use from 50G to 4G and their process retain most of the intelligence within Pareto limits of gain. And then they proceed to compare with other quantized models as in the level of intelligence per size. It gets to my attention though that the performance in tool calling is mostly affected which is a problem for other small models.

How does this model compare to a recent 4G model? How do we know it retained intelligence from the parent rather then being fine tuned for the benchmarks?

I am not shtng on them or anything. I'd rather find it amazing, BUT given my limited knowledge, I feel the results miss fair comparison plots and the ones might be misleading. Buy I also reckon it might be me the problem. Anyone care to explain this poor silly fellow some of those points?

motbus3··on Woman in Brazil enslaved for 55 years by 3 generations of the same family
"It is" is a bit misleading.

I will say it was common up to the end of 70s and somewhat into the 80s. Common here I don't mean that every single person would have a "slave child" at home but you'd know someone or someone that knew someone who did it.

I am not saying it justify this horrible behaviour, but mostly as to say how much worse it could get. Some would just be "Cinderella" style abuse, but other would be physically and sexually abused.

Some reform of policies around de 90s cleared much of the evil practice.

I think by today standards, 99% of people knowing this would have denounced this much earlier. The fact it did not happen in this case is because this family is related to a powerful politician of the region.

Compensation they offer is too little and too disrespectful. It is basically 3 USD a week for the past half decade of forced work relationship. First, it would need to be at least 100x more than that and it would need to put this rubbish in form of people into jail for the rest of their lives.

She will re receive a compensation of 50.000 reais. Which on every, with current exchange rate should be about 3 USD per week of work. One can't get a better bargain for a slave!
motbus3··on Google Search lets creators know more about their reach
The company I worked from added a feature where we added context-based translation as we found that 90% of automated translations keep doing same mistakes. We marked all pages canonical and not canonical and we did everything to ensure we were not trying to pass as we were faking content.

It was then that we were wiped out from search results. We got our consultant to get official support from Google and then they simply said: "oopsie we had bug here. Sorry not sorry"

Well. Tricked is one word. They sell you a device with a wibbly-wobbly Terms of Service that will stop you from using the thing you bought if you don't agree with whatever is in there. And that does not even count the fact that they INTENTIONALLY make it long and unreadable for most users and try to put it on the most inconvenient place and time so you accept it to keep life going.

motbus3··on Job seekers giving up: Labor force participation falls to lowest in 50 years
Not exactly on top of it but I had a related conversation the other day.

People at my work were talking poor of gen z and how they are bulk of neets and how they are lame and etc.

There is always some cringe in different generations apart, but even being older, I can empathise with them. You have zero forecast to buy a home for yourself, to buy a car, to even pay for a university. Whatever they want to do, they will be sucked dry, even if it is a video game.

The f our generation is doing. We are being evil towards the elderly and the young. We blame the rich, the game, the system. All of them we power of our utmost selfishness, transfering the guilty for someone like we couldn't do anything about it.

motbus3··on Flock cameras track more than your license plate, and they're spreading fast
Technically it is. But they create companies that operates for months and close and then open a new one using a different person's name. You can't do anything because between you find them and sue them they are closed and the data is elsewhere.

This is no child's play. The ads you see all around are designed for you not to click. They just want to inject more metadata to make you more identifiable.

Once I followed one of those fake stories like "look what happen with this pregnant horse" and it was literally 50+ pages of a possibility ai generated story that never ended. If you just moved to the main site the story was hosted the content was completely different and no link to the thing you were reading.

Why would anyone pay an ad for something like that? It needs to have a reason and I don't think it is to talk 52 pages about a horse who was pregnant
