Each file has their own license, and they are on the same repo.

That's why you copy the full cURL request that will include the cookies header. Of course it breaks if the server validates the request IP address, but for most cases it should work.

Trivial to do this on Linux. I run my desktop on the on-chip Ryzen 9950X iGPU and I offload games to my nVidia dGPU.

I had a crazier setup in the past with the Intel i7-8809G APU: it had an AMD iGPU for desktop connected to the display, nVidia eGPU for games and the Intel iGPU for video encoding.

Of course there is additional latency due to frame copying, but I can’t notice it in practice.

I wonder how a RWKV variant of this would fare...

Lately I've seen this statement that I agree with: for some people, a hobby is a means to an end (which means using AI to achieve the goal is a heresy), for others, it is the end in itself (which it isn't).

> Public got the last word, industry suffered a 40 year ice age.

This is the worst outcome.

I just heard about them today. The only other person mentioned in the story that I've heard about once was Aella.

I mean, why should I have heard about them if I'm not in SV?

Me too. I worked in two enterprise tech companies that definitely everybody here knows and I had the same experience with YC and HN. The two colleagues that knew about it, one went to found his own startup and went through YC, the other left the big co to work for a startup after about a year.

> Less useful for experienced users, but for beginners they’re a lifesaver.

The last emerge conflict I had was handled 100% by an agent.

I'm not wasting my weekend on stupid sysadmin tasks anymore.

Well, it's the enterprise software house pipeline... The software architect writes the spec, hands it down to the implementation team, senior leads, junior devs or offshore teams codes it.

I also disagree with the approach, this is cargo-culting the existing ways of working.

Exactly. Sometimes I just need a 3D printed part to finish a DIY project, I don't want to waste hours designing it. I had my fair share of time playing around with SketchUp when I was a teenager, but that's it.

Criminals don't need Astra or Fable. Get a bunch of GPUs, a good enough open weight model and a custom harness. What the model doesn't have in its weights it can research the Internet. How do you think black hat hacking is being done right now?

On bio: while it's easy to order all the raw material, there's the whole process of culturing bacteria/viruses/etc. that isn't trivial, and while a LLM might help in explaining stuff for rookies, there needs to be somebody physically working on it. It's not automatic. Once you get to this level, you'll find that any undergrad biologist or chemist can already make bio/chem weapons, and you don't see it happening. Terrorist groups already employ biologists or chemists that are supporters of their cause, no need for LLMs.

On cyber: aside of the question of why critical infrastructure is on the Internet on the first place (ah yes, lowest bidders, people not caring enough, business not giving IT/OT budget, S in IoT standing for security etc), if the available models can't handle cyber tasks, how can you defend yourself? See the HF "attack" that HF had to use GLM-5.2 to investigate what happened. This is the best argument for open models. Unless of course, you are the AI model creator or somebody they authorized to use their sanctioned model/harness and want to create a moat for their business.

This is FUD. Creation of business moats by fear.

I'm getting "spike" for a while now, and just found out the newest word which is "gauntlet".

Same feeling as well. Bluesky is also a place amenable to bots.

Huh, maybe that’s why I’m more empathetic towards them compared to my fellow millennials?
