They cant push it too low. The license agreement it is released under wont allow it.

> If the Licensee or any of its affiliates operates a Model as a Service business, and the aggregate revenue of the Licensee and its affiliates exceeds 20 million US dollars (or the equivalent in other currencies) in total over any consecutive 12 months, the Licensee must enter into a separate agreement with Moonshot AI before using the Software or its derivative works for any commercial purpose.

That would be considered a small library compared to what silo is designed for.

The cost isnt ideal. Especially for a jellyfin user.

TV manufactures are known to slurp up all this data while also providing these apps on underpowered systems. Many techie's recommend hooking up an external media box to your TV and not providing internet directly to the tv.

Not until Emby starts to enshitify our jellyfin ui gets alot better. I made the switch around 2 years ago from Plex and tried out both extensively. Jellyfin just doesnt have the polish I was looking for.

First time I've seen a mention of Silo out on the open internet. This thing is really designed for large scale piracy networks that choke on massive libraries.

The subsidized userbase is large enough that cheema is right to call this out this distinction for other readers.

> The court also held that the third factor favored fair use as to the purchased library copies converted from print to digital because the purpose of the copying was to keep the books in its library but with more favorable storage and searchability properties. This purpose required copying, there was no surplus copying and the source copy was destroyed. With respect to the pirated copies, however, the court held that because “Anthropic lacked any entitlement to hold those copies” and retained them “even after deciding it would not make further copies from them for training,” this third factor weighed against Anthropic for that particular use.

You need to destroy the _physical copy_ that you scanned.

nickthegreek··on Startup founders urge Trump not to shut off Chinese open weight AI
If you were to keep using a chinese model after said ban, you would need to be charged with a crime and be found guilty in a court of law for this to be true.

What it would do is have an instant chilling effect across Corporate America, which is the goal.

> They just should have bought them, rather than pirating them.

Bought, scanned and destroyed them I believe. The judge okay'd Destructive Scanning.

> There is not even jurisdiction over Chinese companies, because they don't sell their LLM subscribtions, unlike US companies, and those comitted much more severe violations in getting their training material than a ToS violation or two (Anthropic already found guilty).

This is false. They do sell LLM subscriptions. Many also release _most_ of their models as open weights.

> People aren't supposed to upvote or downvote posts for these kinds of reasons here.

Agreed, but scrolling past or hitting - were apparently off the table for the complainers. So flagging was yet another tool in their toolbelt and I bet a powerful one at that. If simonw's pelican posts routinely went dead from flagging, he would not make them. You know that, I know that.

> The pelican test continuing to be taken seriously is a great example of that kind of echo chamber.

You can try and support that argument if you like. But I would implore you to realize that it has been had many times recently and the other side does in fact find value and do not see it that way.

> He metaphorically does because people upvote his pelicans to the top and the ensuing comment threads are massive/bloated.

Users upvote the pelicans because they find it interesting. they arent paid trolls or simonw fanatics.

> Huge amounts of the readership of this website are lurkers who don't even know how to hide these giant posts.

They can learn... it's called hackernews. For those interested, that is what the [-] link is for above the comment. Use it and move on.

If enough people agreed with you, simonw's top level comment would be grey. It isn't. Not every comment is for every person, that is fine and normal. He didnt hijack a popular thread in here to make his post. He doesnt have a tin can in your face shouting from a soapbox that makes it hard to ignore. Flag or ignore are reasonable options that can be used.

Will it? Bedrock doesnt have deepseek v4, GLM 5.2, Qwen 3.6, minimax m3.

to be fair, the post talks about a 600px width.
nickthegreek··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
Bedrock needs to actually update their chinese models to the newest versions for this to matter.
nickthegreek··on CD sales growth outpaced vinyl in the first half of 2026
I’m not sure if you live in big city or not, but if so, a visit to your local vinyl shop might be able to score you a copy. Or they might be able to order it in with their shipments.

A user would go into a women's x profile, find a recent post and publicly @ the grokbot to remove her clothes. You don't believe that this is a well thought out and acceptable design and no fault lies with X?

How about you just petition for an option to chose. That way you get yours and I get mine. You don’t need to make that decision for me.
nickthegreek··on Ask HN: Add flag for AI-generated articles
I do not have unlimited time. If enough of this community flags an article as low caliber AI, that is useful to me. The whole idea of a site like this is that the community IS judging the content at some level to up/down vote.

nickthegreek··on Anthropic's Method to Losing Goodwill in a Few Easy Steps
And their constant flipflopping is why they lost their Goodwill with me. It was too much work just to make sure I wasn't breaking their AUP week to week. They will say one thing and then directly contradict it in a social media post. I was constantly losing features that were the reasons I signed up with them.

my 2022 vespa gets over 65mpg and I don’t need to move 2,000 lbs of metal to get around. I assure you it is better for the world than driving an car.
nickthegreek··on What does privatization of the US Postal Service mean?
> That'd be mostly a net-positive since mail-in voting seems to be hard to get right in your country

Strawman. You might have the belief that it’s hard to get right, but that seems based on the American news sources you are consuming from your spit in the world. In reality, there are very little issues with this.
