Havoc··on The insider trading you're allowed to do
Unfortunately doesn't work that smoothly everywhere because outcomes are often tied to larger unknowns whether it is will AI bubble pop or will the global economy take a dip.

Access to internal data isn't a crystal ball

Havoc··on What I self-host
Much prefer LXC + IaC to rebuild them, but much of a sameness
Havoc··on We are entering a period of overlapping crises
Not sure what the point of that was?

World is on fire so join whatever the hell Open Media Network is?

Havoc··on What I Self-Host
To each their own but running that much stuff without proxmox would drive me insane. Especially the native stuff straight on the machine.
Havoc··on Some things are worth dying for: Karl Bushby's 28-year walk
Right up until you hear he left his 5 year old son behind
Havoc··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
> It even grabs your Sticky Notes for WHAT????

The whole sticky notes next to monitor is not a joke. I bet you could grab some crypto recovery keys this way

Havoc··on LFM2.5-24B-A2B: Built for fast on-device agents
I could see it being useful for say summarising content and similar, but speed increases like this are rarely free lunches.
Havoc··on Anthropic's Scion is heavily inspired by Mononoke
Can’t say I have much sympathy for big tech and their employees whining about stolen IP, data and insights.

They’ve been the most egregious offenders as of late

Havoc··on Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
Zuck got rich though
Havoc··on Passkeys are not a trap
So we have one article that contains factually questionable info and one article is written by a biased source.

Can’t wait for episode 3! Hopefully someone knowledgable pulls it all together into a season finale

Havoc··on Passkeys are not a trap
> If you want to be able to move your credentials around, pick a provider that supports that.

Example providers?

Havoc··on We’re releasing Jev 1.14.0 along with experimental features for dreamers
Nice release post
Havoc··on Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote
With these things it's not about spotting the signs but rather predicting the timing. Everyone and their dog can see the signs but that's not enough to be actionable
Havoc··on Google is silently linking your phone number across all signed-in accounts
Yay surveillance state pushed by ad tech!
Havoc··on Gaming on Linux without cheating
No arch?
Havoc··on Smart people don't think others are stupid (2012)
> There are no smart people or stupid people, just people being smart or being stupid.

Only problem is that there are people that are actually stupid in the actual medical sense of the word. And a side effect is that they’re not great at thinking things through.

idk this sort of thinking just feels very “everyone gets a participation trophy” when much of the world doesn’t work that way

Havoc··on Cyberattack halts construction of tunnel between Denmark and Germany
Tension, division and chaos - preferably along the lines of testing limits of article 5 cohesion.

Though the US did most of the heavy lifting on undermining NATO for Russia already, so these grey zone attacks are just building on that.

Havoc··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
Well whatever the hell they're doing on pricing it's not working. Having huge amounts of wind, strong interconnects, gas fields near by and still ending up tied for 3rd most expensive elec is ridiculous. Especially given how good storage is looking relative to gas lately [0].

Havoc··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
Can't - building prohibits everything along those lines
Havoc··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
It’s just plain expensive thanks to the shitty price everything by most expensive source method. Of course people minimise use

Currently paying 0.33 usd a unit.

Havoc··on I posted to HN, and then my website was flooded with AI bot traffic
> I won't name names, but I looked them up, and they describe themselves as a service that listens for changes to a website, and then summarizes them into an AI slop news letter. And by 'listens to changes' I mean query our website many many times per-minute. Blocked.

That sort of behavior would justify a name and shame imo

Inconsiderate shitty services don’t deserve the politeness of protecting their name

Havoc··on Gemini 4 Argon
You can probably get 3.8 via ai studio interface.

God knows why the server different things to the same people on different interfaces

Havoc··on Were software engineers blue-collar workers all along?
It seems like a pretty arbitrary distinction these days, much like being a "professional".

Ultimately all jobs are subject to supply and demand driven and SWE's world is getting rocked by 3 sharp turning points at once - a trillion bootcamp "just learn to code" people entered the market leading to oversupply, ZIRP ended cutting demand and AI turns out to be good at code creating a substitution effect.

That's one hell of a storm that inevitably is going to lead to some shipwrecks

Havoc··on Janas: Run LLMs larger than RAM by streaming experts from SSD
You could prompt it before going to bed yes
Havoc··on Fingerprints are the new cookies
>I still don't understand why the highest entropy APIs aren't gated behind browser consent.

Surveillance era!

You can thank big tech that made their money off ad tech for that

Havoc··on Intel D270 GPU AI Accelerator–Up to 480 GB LPDDR5X
hmm...wonder where this will land in market segments.

Seems like neither a consumer product nor server. Maybe if they halve the ram and price it reasonably people with desktops will buy it for MoE like prosumer homelab AI enthusiast type situations?

Havoc··on Intel D270 GPU AI Accelerator–Up to 480 GB LPDDR5X
That's only partially true - the GDDRX you'd find on say a 3090 is physically very different than what you'd find on a strix halo or mac or vanilla ram. e.g. runs 4 voltage levels not 2 so that it can transmit twice the info per cycle
Havoc··on GLM-Legal
That helps a bit but doesn't counteract training. The LLM still reasons through the web query/db response with it's trained parameters
Havoc··on Thinking will become a hobby
>The newly useless humans can trade with each other

Why would they when the machines can undercut anything while offering higher quality

Havoc··on GLM-Legal
Law is country specific so I'm still somewhat confused about how anyone would trust this.

If I ask it about Irish law is it gonna mix in some US and British law in there because the training data has lots of that? Or hallucinate a mixture?
