For me, once a couple words loaded the cadence/pace of the streaming words in the response was so recognizably “ChatGPT” it immediately lost the sorta eerie mysterious feel and almost veered into parody/comedy. Like imagining the

Though it does seem safe to say your original claim of "way slower than the Neo" isn't correct. Considering it's losing in one benchmark and only ahead in Geekbench (that tends to show higher scores for Apple processors

Nice comparison, I've been super impressed by both Deepseek V4 models, particularly Flash given the crazy value for price vs. performance. It can definitely do "stupid" things and get off track at times but I've found it

Having a static, immovable belief system about something like copyright that is unaffected by seismic shifts in the real world also doesn't seem very logical. If like, Disney did a 180 overnight and bought rights from Google to scan ev

Yeah that's the Number 1 issue I have with Jellyfin. It seems to be tolerating whatever semi-organized structure I give it until it just faceplants on some specific show and I have to tediously reorganize the directory structure/n

Uh, it's a complete false dichotomy? There is literally no reason you need to participate in a botnet to stream content for free. That's ... not a thing. Those sticks just glom on to free software maintained by other hardworking

Or you buy a non-scammy Onn stick for $20-$30 from Walmart instead, install a launcher like Projectivy/ATV Launcher Pro from Play Store (or Aurora/F-Droid), and either choose your streaming app subscriptions ... or remove them all

I've used Projectivy for years on every Google TV stick I own (Google/Onn). Works perfectly with full customization/zero ads on the free version and has a workaround to take over the Home navigation to bypass the built-in lau

ADB is rarely actually a requirement unless you really want to do it the "right" way and fully remove the launcher. I always use a custom launcher (Projectivy) on my Google TV devices, lately typically the $20 Onn stick and interc

I still find it baffling how the idea that HN is "unashamedly anti-ai" gets repeated. Every single model release gets submitted within minutes of an announcement and frequently break 1000+ points within an hour or two. Blog posts

This just seems like a not great example to make that point though. Since whatever Claude tells the kid looking to build a reactor or even bomb is almost certainly going to be more grounded and professional than: Step 1. Obtain pliers

Deepseek Flash V4 really was a "holy shit" moment and deserves the praise/hype it's been getting from users. I have a multi-tier subscription strategy I've maintained for the last year of: 1. $20-$30 plan from first

Changing a domain name doesn't actually amend federal law. Just like how changing Kennedy Center letterhead to Trump Kennedy Center for a year didn't actually legally rename it. Once a case with sufficient standing got in front of

Huh? That's just basic history of xAI. At no point was xAI being sold as a Coreweave-like middleman leasing out data centers to hyperscalars. That's a boring, regular business. The pitch was that xAI would develop groundbreaking A
