OpenRouter could enable/disable models/provider based on user. They could allow users to "self-regulate", if you are working on a government project disable access to deepseek (model or API). Not sure if that would be enough since no one can vouch for open source libraries. How do you know no one submitted PR to some 3 levels deep transient dependency package using deepseek? Only way to be somewhat sure is to ban open source. To me this looks like attempts to ban VPNs.

> If this ends up allowing me to play GTA 6 on my PC within a few months of release I will be euphoric

I think it could even force rockstar to release PC version earlier than planned.

Except they are open with the tech which is easy to replicate. All new models lowering cache prices is the result of DeepSeek's publications.

Not sure, but at least it isn't beige.

If I was to repurpose Hubble to be a spy satellite I would paint it black... I know it's not that simple due to sun radiation (including heat), they where probably coated with some mat black material or something to avoid this kind of detection. I'm just guessing since Hubble looks like it's wrapped in aluminum foil.

Not Honeywell. In consumer market they are known only for storage and memory products, I didn't know they do anything else. Timing is also interesting because his regional management office is in Tel Aviv, so it could be just a conspiracy theory at his local office.

Could this be resolved with a capacitor? LED can stay on for at least a second or two once the camera is off? Not sure on exact components but this feels solvable and only problem may be slim design of their laptops.

Thank you for sharing the talk.

I know a guy who works for well-known hardware company. He isn't a software dev, but close enough, works with Verilog on hardware design and verification. One day he tells me how he is working on video processing module and he doesn't know if that module will be part of surveillance system, missile guidance or nanny cam. It's possible that even middle management doesn't know more than him, and very likely the module will find uses in multiple products. He is a small cogs in a large machine, maybe his work will save a baby's life, maybe it will kill a person, he cannot know.

My problem with V4 flash is output limit. When I need to write or rewrite a larger file (~1000 lines of code) it will fail with message like output limit reached.

Didn't both Amodei and Altman called for regulation of open-weight models? Not that long ago on xitter....

Not sure if they support multiple OPDS catalogs now.

I am on v10 (using JF for music only) and with book plugin (forgot which one) it didn't offer to split books into multiple catalogs, which was a bit annoying. Maybe I missed it in v11. Solution for me was to vibecode a simplest OPDS server with 0 css and basic auth.

I often do hand write SVG icons. I know roughly what I want, it's less messy compared to using an editor (cleaner, smaller xml, easier to hand-edit later if needed). Path arc is my nemesis, otherwise it's not that hard. Pelican would take some time, but same as software development, you split it into smaller chunks and do one at the time.

Main problem in complex icon is remembering which (x, y) point is used in which element, <g> with background grid is helpful here. I was even thinking about making extended SVG language with variables for (x, y) points.
