I think it is more likely that US Intelligence leaked this because Huang was already being actively compromised. By leaking it you remove the leverage the CCP had.

Why is it unbelievable? I still remember how to program and arch new features and don't need claude to tell me how to do it. It is much more enjoyable to do a little work on your project and offload the grunt work to a weaker model then just being a highly paid merge pr button pusher for whatever opus decides.

Haven't had time to do much quality testing but the IQ2 model is running at 65 tps on a 9070xt/5900x. That is wild.

While Axon's system should be under the microscope too I don't think they have the nation wide cloud that Flock is doing and requires specific agreements to share data. Maybe that is getting abused to form a national database but I imagine it was designed so say a county sheriff department and local city PDs could share resources. I don't think most people are that concerned about things like that (though they should be), it is the nation wide surveillance that creeps people out. That and the stalking of course and both systems can be used for that.

Last time I got a costco hot dog the bun didn't look like that. Probably what happened is they ran out of hot dog buns and someone just grabbed some off the self and they weren't big enough.

They gave grok 2nd try on that one. Now one shotting a webpage is a dumb metric but if that is what you are testing it did the worse.

Yea, they built a new library near me a couple years ago and have a full makers space in a separate large room. I guess "check out" is the wrong term as you can't take the machines home. You just go there and use them or have the trained librarian operate the machine.

My library has something similar. Sewing and embroidering machines, 3D printers and even a CNC machine. Most are free to use as long as you bring the material, the only one that I can remember having a cost is the laser cutter but even then it was under 10 bucks an hour. They have a bunch of other things like being able to check out a pass the the state parks and some museum passes.

This is the Charleston County library system.

LM Studio has a lot less tuning options when you launch it. Also it is precompiled so you don't have the latest (and sometimes buggy) releases so you may have to wait a few days to try out a MTP or a new model. LM Studio is easier though.

Could be because they sale crate engines.

Looks like they already have been testing it in the Spartanburg, SC, USA plant (just outside of Greenville SC [also I think the largest BMW factory in the world making most of their SUVs]). Still I don't get why a humanoid robot would be a thing for car making, a robot arm seems like it'd almost always be more efficient.

I had to enable it in both Firefox (about:config search webgpu) and in Chrome (chrome://flags and enable Unsafe WebGPU Support) on my linux machine.

I'm curious, what makes it poorly made if it is working? I don't know anything about it or the game or the state of cheating in the game.

When I worked in the VOD industry we never almost never did a precheck of the files. The content provider (Lionsgate in this case) would upload the files that would then get ingested by the CMS system for normalization and transcoding. The most check the distributor did was add metadata marks for ad breaks and random checks for transcode quality.

I set up custom ingest workflows many cable companies around the world and they all worked the same. You just had to trust that the providers sent you good copies and get them to fix their shit if it was wrong. Most of the time it was bad metadata (episode description, ect).
