Where is the source of all these Usenet services? I thought people just stopped mirroring when Google groups got so prolific? I wonder how big all of this is minus the *.binaries

If you have your kids you’ll know that the shared culture we used to have is no more. Kids these days don’t turn on the tv when they get home from school but instead go on their highly personalised feeds… so for any shared culture, we’re no

What’s Meta’s moat? Content and doom scrolling… I would say they should put ALL their focus on Next Generation content generation… I honestly think in the ~10 years we’re going to see cinema completely flip from high budget blockbusters to

GLM 5.3 Flash was the killer for me. It really feels like we have Claude-approaching models at home. I just wish they kept parameter count down in order to fit entirely within commonly used RAM sizes

I know a few Australian devs who work at places also moving, or already have, from Anthropic… and not because of cost but because of Trump’s edicts to ban non-nationals using AI. Think about how crazy it is for non-US companies to use Ameri

Wow! I have always wanted to archive the graffiti in pu pic toilets, but this 3D capture is a million times better! Now I’m wishing more public spaces inside and out were archived forever like this - imagine we had this 1000/2000/

I’ve been trying out GLM 5.3 Flash the past < 30 hours, and although I’m only running at Q3, it feels different than most 100B to 200B models I’ve run before... More measured, thorough in thinking, and has so far passed all my private

For smaller models, you'll probably find anything below Q4 will need handholding. Check Unsloth's graphs at the different quantisations VS error rates and you'll see why.

Weird that this is a story about toilet paper yet the elephant in the room is the fact that the US imports most of its foreign oil from Canada (yes that’s right - not the Middle East).

Crazy how divided AI is here on HN… We’re almost to the point where the average non-technical person uses AI daily (just like phones and the internet were once only used by the technocrats) without blinking, it will be ubiquitous and univer

> Personally, I believe that LLMs should be treated like an advanced version of Prolog or linear programming: you give the constraints, you have a way of verifying correctness, and you give it a clear goal. If the LLM can verify itself a

I want to like Pi but compaction is why I had to go back to Open Code… My problem is that when in a loop and it’s calling tools, it won’t check how close it is to the compacting limit until the whole loop returns to you for the next prompt.

Yeah, tablet. Though medication is highly regulated in Australia, I might try liquid form next time I go for a prescription (anything over 2mg is regulated here). Thanks!

Wow that's weird. I have it running sometimes at least 8 hours straight on a single prompt and no weirdness. Could it be something weird like you're hitting your compaction limit?
