I remember when the top GPU was 550€ and the overclocked, custom-cased, water-cooling ready version cost 660€ tops. Any GPU price out there even $800 for 5060Ti from january 2025 is not only out of any sane band, but look as if we're in a ultra-recession, yet other markets aren't affected nearly as extreme.

Polymarket and Kalshi also fuel very immoral and criminal behaviour's and make the very worst in people come to surface. It's amplifying only the worst in humanity!

I have heard and seen: Bet's on the live & fate of a celebrity, person, company, country, weather etc.. It's getting absurdly criminal. You've seen the guy in France burning a weather-sensor, just so he wins a bet. The soldier's knowing their mission and "secretly" betting on the death of their enemies. This is getting beyond dark and unethical. It's maximally anti-social and destructive for humanity.

If Polymarket/Kalshi and co. continue roaming free, we'll eventually see parts of humanity circling a death spiral like ants do.

Dude, I'm german, that's so far stretched, it's more realistic you're sponsored, as I'm not hiding behind a new account. Also it's just deductions from knowns, nothing far stretched. Why be so sensitive about Israel? I don't care if Quatar, Saudi or whatever country is the actual Hacker behind, as long as it's evident and meaningful to catch them inflagranti.

Absoluter Humbug mein Freund.

> Israel has lasting peace with half its neighbours.

Ok, funny I just met an Isreali in person yesterday and he said they are in war. He's from Tel Aviv, guess a first hand source is more trustable than an anon defending israel and claiming they're in peace..

The conclusions made prior by OP are thoughtful and it strictly makes North Korea quite implausible as the "Binance Hacker". Leaves us with Isreal. Saudi and Quatar are so damn weak in Cybersec, I haven't even heard of any of those countries doing any meaningful operation ever in the media, but to be honest I don't follow what they do either.

Isn't it toxic to brag about it online like he does? It wasn't a feature many were even aware of, but instead of placing it as responsible disclosure, he places it as: "I ruined it for all of you, but I had a lot of fun doing it".

I think even using AI agent under sophisticated op-sec and the required compute and resources and expertise don't exist in NK to pull of this heist. It requires a sophistication that North Korea's simply isn't able to provide even the education for.

Even with advanced agent frameworks, this level of attack is beyond their capabilities. Stuxnet level sophistication was shown to be only possible for Israel and the USA in co-operation.

But why would a nation like the USA attack a company whose CEO they have just pardoned and that endorses crypto and crypto-stocks that much as of now?

Israel on the contrary needs new artillery and money to support their wars to be continued. The offensives they want to continue against all their neighbors cost a lot of money. But I want to be careful here, since there's proof required. The question now is howto follow the money? I think we need our hacker friends to watch the money-flow: Jim Browning, Pierogi/Scammer Payback, Ryan Montgomery/Zero Day. Curious who else would be best to doxx and find out the truth.

> There should be an influx of purchases right? In general, I appreciate this rare and thoughtful comment.

Let's ask: Which nations are the best in cybersecurity?

France, China, USA, Israel is what comes to my mind. I'm not sure if there's any other country with highly advanced cyber units. Usually Israel is the one with the most advanced defense technologies.

Worst thing that happened to humanity is the birth of Anduril thanks to Meta buying Occulus.. making that one slightly chipped person go think: "What to do with my Occulus exit.. hmm killing people isn't efficient, let me fix that."

I agree.

Weak argument and strawman. It's not users. It's OpenAI the company producing the tools roaming wild and hacking around recklessly to gather every free and unfree information.

Literally they break every law that you can break and have not been penalized billions to pay fines to foreign governments, local companies and lawsuits are overdue. US Prosecution allowed criminal activity for OpenAI and Anthrophic despite these being very serious crimes.

Microsoft had to pay billions for abusing their power and market positions to dominate Windows Desktops with their own applications such as Internet Explorer, not giving contenders a chance to be discovered. While OpenAI/Anthrophic and now Google with Gemini produce a series of crimes so far unheard of at scale.

Kevin Mitnick had much harder punishment for comparatively less crimes and less damages to infrastructure and security of systems. Is the legal system broken?

Levent Alpöge 'additionally' proved OpenAI steals your findings & IP and plays dirty!

Ironically he proved two major findings in Navier Strokes and that unethical American companies violate laws, steal your breakthrough findings & IP and then threaten you if you dare to challenge them.

This is making the status-quo so bad for any of us working on serious capacity. My client's don't trust ChatGPT/Claude anymore and prefer on-premises and OSS models or even custom trained models.

Nothing unites the public behind restrictions like a good dose of fear. The "for the children" angle is a master key for regulation—always sold as protection from the big bad wolf.

"Trust us, we're here to protect you." Sure we are. /s

It's only a matter of time before open-source gets banned in the US under that same paternalistic security blanket. /s

The government or OpenAI and Anthrophic?

Because if you mean the Government, I think they frankly just care whoever is paying them to make an executive order or worse a law paid by corporations to not only block, but ideally also ANHILIATE ANY POTENTIAL COMPETITION.

It's the ultimatum against the small guys. Sold as "Anti-China", when in reality it's only purpose is total dependency to corporations by law.

Sorry, I don't understand this rule, would someone kindly explain?

I own lastname.name and use it for email only like this: firstname@lastname.name

I always thought as owner of lastname.name, I'm the only one able to add subdomain.lastname.name. Is this wrong??

1) Can anyone "buy" scam.lastname.name without my authorization on .name??

2) Can anyone owning not.lastname.name then steal my emails going to: firstname@*.lastname.name or even firstname@lastname.name??

BUT: If someone ONLY bought not.lastname.name and doesn't own lastname.name, they'll get terminated. Would that be 'good' as it would stop 1) and 2) ??

I'm really concerned. My family is using first@lastname.name as the personal email, I'm hosting and paying for since many years.

Howto use it? sorry for the noob question.

I tried `uv --preview-features content-addressed-cache` and I get an error:

`uv --preview-features content-addressed-cache error: 'uv' requires a subcommand but one was not provided`

Serious question: Do you suffer internally from too much slop being submitted? How do you counter that?

Context:

If you want or not, many engineers will eventually end up sending ai slop to your PR or maybe even skip and trigger CI/CD.

Many company owners, OSS maintainers and projects suffer from slop-code being submitted in high-frequency.

I'm not sure if this is the right direction, but it's certainly momentarily helpful. I think the right direction would be to enable the model itself do dynamic program analysis, deterministically and dynamically via runtime-inference.

btw. your comment is grayed out, not sure what it means. However, thanks for sharing, I'll look into it.

Will just help EU/ASIA to fill that gap

Happened to me with ChatGPT and Gemini too often, that a harmless change in my own picture is marked as harmful content (just changed the tie color). And the AI refuses and future edit.

OMG I found it!!

Research preview: Whittle MoE 27B (A18B): a mixture of experts rescued by its routers

https://huggingface.co/logic65/Qwen3.8-Whittle-MoE-27B-A17.8...

It actually has vision + tool_use even the 27B param model. The community tries to produce even a MoE version of Qwen3.8 now, because that'd allow to run the full model with some experts being pruned like with Ornith 1.5 35B A3B.

You can get this to run on 24GB Ram: https://huggingface.co/baa-ai/Qwen3.8-27B-RAM-24GB-MLX

I found the FULL Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B-MLX-reap50-3bit, but it's 540GB. So, I can't run it on my tiny laptop, but hope that the community finds ways to bring the size down and memory requirements too =)))

I worried being behind in server-security, since all those 0days now being so easy to pull from claude/chatgpt, that maybe you guys found a risk-minimizing front-end to reduce the attack-surface.

I like bitbucket too, it's been really awesome and clean. No idea why everyone favored GitHub, but I had to have accounts on both for university and work

Why, would you please share?

For me it's usually a green-flag, since it automatically means they optimized for high-scalability first, as their userbase is gargantuous!

Please let this not be true :( I mean nothing against vibe coding for hobby and assisting you when you get stuck, but at something important like Github they should have hooks to stop low-quality commits and repeated CI-breaking or issue causing should automatically restrict accounts at such companies I think.

Do you think they have such measures in place? I remember when my indention wasn't spotless our university rejected my commits or if my function complexity was too high.. Tears in my eyes.. I think it was called Gerrit Code Review.

No, that's almost exactly right, except that scaling problem is inverse!

MSFT is giving away most of their Azure Datacenters resources to AI, to make money and doesn't care if Github suffers along the way and drains Github's available resources to bare minimum. Leading to outages like this, but you're 100% spot on right too. All those Claude/OpenClaw instances produce so much Code, people setup more and more repositories.

hmm very interesting combination of services being down. I've been using DeepSeek v4 Pro and Qwen3.8 now daily for close to 2 weeks. Damn good and reliable. Anytime I need to verify math I check with Kimi k3 tho, it still feels like being superior to these both, not sure if actually true.

Great setup, two questions, do you have 2 VPNs now or all on one Hetzner VPS? And how do you setup security?

Just recommend swapping vercel/netlify with something else, we had quite a few issues and high costs with them. Not opiniated here, currently using Cloudflare and BunnyCDN (which is great)

huh, why am I being shadow banned?

Does YC have similar problems like those at wikipedia/reddit? (wikipedia-editor-wars, or reddit-mod-wars)

I actually favor Qwen3.8 and run it locally + use the Token-Plan on AlibabaCloud, when I need faster results. Kind of favor it over GPT5.6 Sol.

Also it seems to be more capable, need to test more, but I think it's at least getting on par and it's fully open-source and open-weights.

Here's some benchmarks:

https://benchlm.ai/compare/gpt-5-6-sol-vs-qwen3-8-max

https://qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.8#full-benchmark-table (incredible UI/UX demos)

https://venturebeat.com/technology/qwen3-8-max-arrives-with-...

EDIT: Am I early to the discussion, or is none else using Qwen3.8-max?

Totally unfair, I would even say unethical and hostile towards US and EU people to restrict our access, but give the US Government full access to all, including all our data. Thanks ChatGPT/Claude!

I wonder what will happen with YC and this news-forum as it's owned by Altman too.

What is the USA then?

Especially curious what is the term for the current type of Government in the USA?

It's entirely different than any prior one historically speaking, isn't it?
