breisa··on Need for Speed Underground 2 online in the browser
I imagine they will just switch to offering cloud gaming exclusively. It allows them to sell to anyone with a screen, regardless of specs. It also aligns perfectly with the ongoing death of local gaming hardware.
breisa··on Dutch 'idealist' bank ASN blocks non-Google Android, including GrapheneOS
Not possible, you have to run a OS signed by Google.
breisa··on A thousand fewer paths to root
Crazy times. These corporations and their governments have access to literal zero-day vending machines. Put $50 in - get another one. I mean, yeah, it was clear that certain agencies had heaps of useful exploits at hand for quite some time now. But AI really commoditizes these exploits. If there's source code or even just a binary available, they can hack it. And even if your code is robust and secure, they just pull the lever on the vending machine again and come back with some zero-day for your OS's networking stack.
breisa··on New iPad mini
Whats the closest Android equivalent to this?
breisa··on OpenShell – A safe, private runtime for fleets of autonomous AI agents
You would need a human reviewing every single action of the agent to prevent them from exfiltartimg data. There are just too many possible side channels for a predefined solution. I believe currently what you want is a locally hosted decision model scoring every agent action againt a set of rules with a human in the loop once the decision model isnt 'confident' the actions are harmless.
breisa··on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Max)
They alreay did https://deepinfra.com/deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash-1017
breisa··on DeepSeek search and fetch – $0.75 per 1000 successful requests
For me, curl-impersonate [0] works great. It makes curl fingerprint identically to Chrome/Firefox. [0] https://github.com/lexiforest/curl-impersonate
breisa··on SecurityBaseline.eu
Thats far from reality. Just use the online form of BSI for disclosure. They contact the affected party for you. This way you optionally can stay anonymous and the vulnerabilities get fixed because BSI appears as the messenger.
breisa··on Googlebook
They don't have to offer a version of the website without consent. As long as they inform you that the site will use cookies if you use it that should be GDPR-compliant.
breisa··on Your phone is about to stop being yours
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payment_Services_Directive tldr: eu mandates secure 2fa for online banking and most banks only implement it using their app as second factor.
breisa··on Eden AI – European Alternative to OpenRouter
They only offer pay-as-you-go. The $9/month plan includes $2 credits and then its payg without markup.
breisa··on Airline worker arrested after sharing photos of bomb damage in WhatsApp group
If such a backdoor exists, it is probably cryptographically secured to prevent "unauthorized" access. E.g. the xz backdoor was secured like that.
breisa··on Google Gemma 4 Runs Natively on iPhone with Full Offline AI Inference
There is only one and for this model you need the one with 128GiB RAM.
breisa··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
They also do not allow non-coding usage of their coding plan in their ToS.
breisa··on Qwen3.6-Plus: Towards real world agents
They are talking about the chat template and not the system prompt. With current gen models, the system prompt is only part of a larger pretext that is passed to the model at the start of the "chat". The models are trained on a specific chat template with things like tool lists, reasoning budget, special feature flags and the "system prompt" formatted in a certain template.
breisa··on How to customize Firefox AI sidebar
Just did a quick write-up on how to modify Firefox's AI features after spending some time figuring out how to modify the prompts/commands.
breisa··on Setting up phones is a nightmare
Isn't that just Google trying to dark-pattern you into finally clicking that checkboxes you unchecked during setup?
breisa··on Pi – A minimal terminal coding harness
Alibaba released a whole set of new Qwen 3.5 models including a ~120B and a ~35B MoE.
breisa··on Ggml.ai joins Hugging Face to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI
Maybe look into model finetuning/distilation. Unsloth [1] has great guides and provides everything you need to get started on Google Colab for free. [1] https://unsloth.ai/
breisa··on Ggml.ai joins Hugging Face to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI
I mean they already supported the project quite a bit. @ngxson and maybe others? from Huggingface are big contributors to llama.cpp.
breisa··on Wero – Digital payment wallet, made in Europe
The thing is, with most banks you aren't even allowed to use the Wero app that has this play integrity restriction. The banks integrate Wero directly into their own apps. So its mostly up to your bank.
breisa··on Qwen3.5: Towards Native Multimodal Agents
Those Ryzen AI Max+ 395 systems are all more or less the same. For inference you want the one with 128GB soldered RAM. There are ones from Framework, Gmktec, Minisforum etc. Gmktec used to be the cheapest but with the rising RAM prices its Framework noe i think. You cant really upgrade/configure them. For benchmarks look into r/localllama - there are plenty.
breisa··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
Thats just the result of the model only supporting russian (and 12 other languages) and not urkainian. It maps to the closest words from training data.
breisa··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
Not sure if its "realtime" but the recently released VibeVoice-ASR from Microsoft does do diarization. https://huggingface.co/microsoft/VibeVoice-ASR
breisa··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
Deepinfra offers Whisper V3 at 0.00045$ / minute of transcribed audio.
breisa··on Apple announces ability to download apps directly from websites in EU
That is a common misconception. In EU law, there are regulations and directives. Regulations are immediately active in all EU countries. In contrast, directives need to be translated into national law by each individual country. The GDPR is a regulation. (for details: https://european-union.europa.eu/institutions-law-budget/law... )
breisa··on E2EE on the web: is the web that bad?
There is "Signed Pages" by the developer of EteSync. It is a browser extension, that checks webapps based on signatures in the html file. The addon then warns the user if the signature is not correct or - if I remember correctly - the source changed. This allows you to be sure what webapp code was delivered. But it seems like it did not really get used outside of his own projects. https://github.com/tasn/webext-signed-pages
breisa··on Ask HN: Why can't we Chromecast from Firefox?
VLC is able to cast to Chromecast. You can use it to cast from desktop/mobile.
