There are coding tasks where Kimi K3 outperforms Fable (haven't done much comparing between it and Sol) and the Chinese labs have access to their own synthetic datasets, along with frontier research. We're leaving behind the days

You can run HL2 at 1080p 60fps in 5W on Armada on the AYN Thor (on the Eco performance profile). That includes a screen and speakers.

Still no. If you're only getting Opus-class you can still end up paying less by just using an equivalent Chinese model on OpenRouter.

Very impressive model, exciting to see an American open-source lab with such competitive results.

Technically already possible (and works surprisingly well!) if you have a PS5 with old enough firmware. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhnLdFYR2-s

Making almost 20 million a year is pretty good considering that their only product is a maintained FirefoxOS fork licensed to run on budget phones.

It defaults to the API, but you can download the weights for the 1T-parameter Pro model and selfhost if you have the hardware for it.

We usually take it from natural gas deposits instead.

I've had a great time using Rust with Actix as the framework.

macOS actually does the opposite; to avoid wearing down the drive it will hold 7-10gb of your most commonly used files in memory and release them when the memory gets allocated for something else. In theory you could get away with editing g

You can get Wipr 2 for iOS and (for me) it's been as good as uBO.

There is an open-source launcher to run Bedrock on Mac and Linux, and it runs well. Bedrock, however, still isn't as popular because servers and mods are more of an afterthought, so not a lot of effort has been put into making it devel

It seems kind of odd to play Java edition without mods at all. Wouldn't you have a simpler time on Bedrock?

You most likely use a Windows PC and an Android phone. If Uncle Sam viewed you as a threat actor, he could ask both companies to send you a signed and verified update to either your OS or apps they control, running whatever he wants.

I mean... not really? Not much music is Spotify exclusive (at least from the 99.6% of what people listen to mentioned in the article), and from friends in the industry I can guarantee you all major content platforms (Netflix, Disney+, Prim

Ladybird is pretty good today. A lot of web apps, even complex ones, just work. It's reached high compliance scores for web standards in a shockingly quick period. See here: https://youtu.be/VqzbqsIlaNI?si=YPdwbApq4nVYl

This seems a bit foolish? Even just limiting stock to paper launches and massively raising the price would let you say "oh, it's just the market" but here it makes them look like they're putting all their eggs in one bas

Security seems like a solved problem on desktop already? Secure Boot + LUKS + SELinux gives anyone a pretty airtight userspace. Microsoft/Apple have similarly secure set ups for their operating systems. Bitlocker by default (although t

The Wikipedia page seems to show that it's just a placebo/scam? The helmet has the equivalent magnetic effect of a fridge magnet or hair dryer, and researchers in Sweden replicating the research in a double-blind study found no ef

But the botnets don't use VPNs, they use IoT devices owned by people who don't even know there's a computer inside. It seems like you just don't like the idea of VPNs in general and are using an unrelated attack to argue

We didn't. The WTO copyright framework is a joke that only goes after sports rebroadcasting and people who watch Disney movies for free. Meanwhile every valuable piece of US science and industry has been replicated on the other side of

All levels of Widevine are cracked, but only the software-exclusive vulnerabilities are publicly available. It's only used for valuable content though (netflix/disney+/primevideo), so it might still work out for YouTube as no

What are you talking about? Both iPhones and Android let you spoof your MAC address to a random or fixed value if you want, for privacy. Also, "leaking my IP addresses" how the fuck do you expect a website to talk to you without a

99% of Steam games work great on Linux now thanks to Proton. You might be thinking of how it was back in 2015.

No. This isn't Spectre/Meltdown for GPUs, it takes advantage of SurfaceFlinger giving apps information on what's drawn behind them.

You're anthropomorphizing the lawnmower. Microsoft didn't do this to help or hurt users or ransomware. There's no deeper meaning behind the action past improving business metrics in order to meet goals and please management a

why not just use sunshine/moonlight? RDP (and the other junk like X11 forwarding/VNC) has always been too slow for my use-cases. Movies or gaming would bring it to a halt. Meanwhile Moonlight gives me a clean 4k60fps with only ~25
