Seems like everyone is doing this now... Sonicare, Norelco... I get the cost cutting + simplifying international packaging aspect. Just pass it on to customers. At least Apple has the other excuse that users might prefer wireless charging,

Pretty much every company milks their wealthier customers and it frees them up to be more competitive at the lower end. Also, if they charged a more reasonable amount, they would get backordered very quickly.

"Works on my machine" - a colleague's mug from back in the day. He was just being funny, but there's a bit of truth in every joke. Reproducibility was only occasionally a top concern for developers, and then github and o

F this BS. I will never send a single dime or packet to any company or politician that supports this. I will tell everyone I know to boycott their service or products. The latest absurd power grab in the guise of protecting the children.

I think they used a dummy model or else they would have linked to it. Just google '1-bit 100b model' and you'll only see references to this project without any download links.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll ask the issue creator if they've considered that. Would be nice if the maintainer would handle that (sigh) and link to the actual models used for testing (double sigh).

It comes from (intentionally?) misleading docs: https://github.com/microsoft/BitNet/issues/391 (only suggesting that it's intentional because it's been there so long)

Wow, that's A lot. Even though there's diminishing returns with more workers, they'd probably build them faster if they weren't scaling out so much concurrently, right? Seems like we could match a 7 year clip at a much s

gog too, which my openclaw agent always stubbornly wants to use instead of delegating to a subagent + custom calendar/imap proxy server I built. https://github.com/steipete/gogcli

I have it running in a macos VM using lume & BlueBubbles on a throwaway iCloud account. A lot of hoops to jump through, though https://cua.ai/docs/lume https://docs.openclaw.ai/channels/bluebub

In October, I bought a $250 product from a Canadian company + about $30 shipping & taxes and thought I was good. A few weeks later, FedEx sends me an $92 bill for the duty that they had to pay. I just ignored it since I was never given

Even if it is, it's not hard to automate PR submissions, comments and blog posts, for some ulterior purpose. Combine that with the recent advances in inference quality and speed, and probable copy-cat behavior, any panic from this thea

The journalist was almost certainly using an LLM, and a cheap one at that. The quote reads as if the model was instructed to build a quote solely using its context window. Lying is deliberately deceiving, but yeah, to a reader, who in a eff

Agreed and that's why there's an incentive to DDoS it and degrade the quality. Are there any p2p backup solutions?

Guilty of what exactly? Facilitating drug dealing? Something we both know is going to occur whether the nanny state permits it or not. Ross made it safer for those involved, and even those not involved. Inner cities are war zones because dr

Traditional banking is governed by men with guns who depend on votes (for appearances). They always have recourse and motivation to intervene with private transactions. Not so much the case with bitcoin, which is extralegal for the most par

A very interesting philosophical and moral can of worms you just opened there. Bitcoin is governed by the protocol, so if the protocol permits anyone who can sign a valid transaction involving a given UTXO to another address, then it techni

Those don't really mean anything when an attacker can eavesdrop on customer and employee comms and possibly redirect transactions (MITM).

Correct me if I’m wrong, but remote code execution has the advantage of being able to access information without the user being involved at all. Sure the user needs to install and trigger the exploit, but whatever code the attacker runs doe

So it’s more expensive to make something ugly. Gotcha ;) The slowness might be explained by the background tasks of restoring previously installed software and data. I have an iPhone 13 Pro with tons of apps and it’s still pretty snappy. B

Why don't they just focus on making a Gravitron variant with those algorithms in the circuitry?
