sva_··on Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit (2025)
No, it says it cut through an area of "tens of thousands of acres"

It makes for a good headline, but

> the cleared land which stretches more than 13km (8 miles)

sva_··on Spain train crash: 'At least 10 dead' in high-speed collision
At least the people responsible for wasting about a quarter billion euros on trains that are too wide for Spains train tunnels seem to have resigned.

I prefer to get my supply-chain attacks through conventional package managers
sva_··on Meta Ignores Brazilian Court Order to End Bolsonaro Favoritism
I suppose blocking/censoring Facebook/WhatsApp in Brazil would be one way of making sure their opposition wins.

That seems a bit schizophrenic
sva_··on LLMs are making formal software verification feasible at a much larger scale
Have you tried... reading the article? Under the big headline that says "Limitations", in particular

sva_··on Patch the Planet: global response coordination as agents uncover vulnerabilities
Not very shocking that OpenAI wants you to use tokens
sva_··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
Gemini offers indefinite cache on API, but you pay per hour.

AFAIK, there's no evidence that Alibaba won't keep releasing more open source models. Before 3.8 there was speculation they wouldn't release the weights, but they finally did - Although I guess the largest model wasn't multi modal.

And Minmax is set to release their latest flash model on October 23rd.

So not sure where you're getting this from, unless I misunderstood something

sva_··on MiniMax M3.1 Flash
I have this idea that the big labs internally have much more capable models which are prohibitively expensive to run though, and the competition is mainly around getting the price down by releasing models that are quantized/otherwise made more efficient at the cost of a lot of performance.
sva_··on Websites are closing their doors to AI agents
30GB a month isn't too terrible? I guess it depends - for example my provider includes 10TB egress per month, so 30gb would be negligible if it's static content. I'm not sure what others do, but I often click on the links that the agents pull up as sources so the websites do get more discoverable.

What really sucks is e.g. Gemini that pulls images without being able to go to the source (unless it changed recently.)

Edit: I didn't read "logs"

I'm not sure just skipping the scraping by providing your data directly for harvesting is the solution
sva_··on OpenAI discloses four more rogue incidents
You sure? HuggingFace should be happy they got their leaked keys reported at pretty much zero cost and no real adversarial breach.

I recommend just setting up a podman container, LLM can do it for you.

Basically Podman is a more secure version of Docker.

I would keep stuff like secret keys outside the container and sign/push commits manually.

So cheap that people who pay for pro don't get it as a coding agent in antigravity lol
sva_··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
I've frequently seen social media of people who were arrested disappearing. Not because the arrestee did so themselves.
sva_··on OpenAI engineer arrested in bugging of executive conference room
His LinkedIn is still up and suggesting he still works at OAI... which I'm not so sure of
sva_··on Gemini 4 Argon
My Gemini app on Android does not even have an exact location permission you could give it, so I'm not sure how you think that would work?

If it had exact location access people would be crying that Gemini steals their location data.

sva_··on Gemini 4 Argon
Any word on how fast it drains usage compared to openai/anthropic sub for the different tiers? I guess too early to tell?
sva_··on Gemini 4 Argon
Not available in my browser/app yet (pro), but I'm confident it'll roll out soon.

That was a long wait.

Just open the website on your phone to emit the tones
sva_··on Codex CLI installs a persistent, self-updating background daemon by default
Reminder that OpenAI allows you to use the Pi Coding Agent, which is a lot more lightweight, and in my experience much better than any of the proprietary harnesses.

sva_··on I Found a $90k Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Google
Shallow dismissals like this contribute nothing to the discussion.
sva_··on Recursive self-improvement through collective intelligence
The question was implicit, as I'm not sure what is particularly expensive about that, since you presumably could do it with a single GPU

It's just a 27b model finetuned with LoRA?
sva_··on The RAM shortage is bringing back DDR4
I was eyeing a 96GB ddr5 so-dimm upgrade for my laptop last year, it was about 200-250 euro at the time. The only offerings I find for it now are in the range of 2000 euro. Regretting that I didn't max out ssd/ram at the time, but I'm optimistic the situation will get better in a year or so.
