Just keep it disconnected and enjoy the "dumb" TV with a streamer box. The reports of user-disconnected TVs jumping on open wifis or Amazon sidewalk by themselves are not credible. All of the problems stem from connecting the TV s

It is really mysterious how awestruck folks are at the HF attack. I mean just watch one modern agent (qwen 3.8, deepseek 4, glm 5.3) rip apart a coding problem and nearly destroy your computer in the process, it's a wonder it took &quo

She also has the SBF "reallllly believe my own BS/drink my own urine" story. I think it's probably true of every con(wo)man out there? You probably can't really con people if you're not genuinely sociopathic.

I missed the part on your previous reply about having a union rep on the board. This is foreign to me as a US citizen so perhaps my vision is blinkered by the horrible state and history of labor relations here. In a US context, with none of

I think openrouter is well on its way to being "big cloud". OpenAI/Anthropic not so much, at least as long as they bet the farm on incremental quality advances.

I'm puzzled why so many comments here are about local AI? Article is clearly about open models on openrouter etc.

Hmm, maybe you can enlighten us with some examples of "corrupted unions" focusing on harmful product changes to some kind of demonstrable extent? The issue of leadership corruption in unions is well-known and definitely does _not_

Strange that workers organizing to better their working conditions would raise such concerns, vs. say, the management changing c suite roles with zero oversight. Bosses know best?

I'm having no difficulty getting deepseek v4 to blast out good code. I guess devs want to outsource all of their thinking now? Yes open models maybe can't design the whole thing soup to nuts but why is that necessary?

I mean, why self-host? Deepseek v4 flash is dirt-cheap on openrouter. Inference is a race to the bottom at this point.

What's the tell, other than it butchering the context (bad writing)? The article as a whole doesn't seem horribly LLMy. The overall topic is pretty dry, and that sentence is honkingly bad, but not all bad writing is LLM-originated

TFA is not about fanfic, which seems like a natural fit for illustration, but about technical blogs that really don't need it and are instead stuffed with distractingly fancy slop images.
