If they baked in a function to freeze USDT, why not also add a function revert a transaction flagged as part of a hack?

I stand corrected then. Thanks!

I've always preferred GPT over Claude, but TBH the releases after GPT 5.6 Sol plus the surprise of cutting my usage in half is making me want to jump to anthropic and give Opus 5.5 a shot.

I wish they would give the notice one month in advance. Last week my $200 was renewed, and if tomorrow my usage cuts in half (if I understood correctly) it feels as I got partially ripped.

What is the state of virtio-gpu these days? I have a system76 "pang14" (Ryzen 7 7840U laptop), is that a valid option for me to have a VM with 3d acceleration? I'm fine with having some overhead if it is better than the current software GPU.

> The thing is that as soon as you seriously give a chance to Bcachefs you see how good it is.

I'm pretty sure Bcachefs is amazing and better than Btrfs. I also think Zfs is amazing and better than Btrfs. Even so, I still use Btrfs because I know it is guaranteed to always be present on any Linux without any effort on my part.

A better approach might have been to just paused mainline merging instead of forcing being kicked out?

Eg "Hey Linus, Bcachefs is still in early development and I need to merge changes in a pace that is not compatible with Linux development process. So I'm going to pause for a while now and once it reaches maintenance status I will focus on submitting patches in a healthy pace that you can digest".

Except for the fact that the developer has sabotaged the project into being removed from mainline?

At this size (~400 million parameters), does it become viable running directly on CPU?

The exception is if you use CoW filesystems.

Btrfs has a workaround: it can create a cow-disabled subvolume for the swapfile.

AFAIK you need a separate partition for Zfs.

Darn, for a moment I thought it would be possible to run in 128G T.T

200B of those 552B is PLE, which works more like a database that is read for each token, thus can be offloaded to a fast SSD.

> It also includes additional 196B Engram memory which you can put on an SSD. I think

You can put Qwen 3.8 Flash Next engram on SSD, but prompt processing takes a good hit. On my mac studio, I get 300 pp and 33 tg with SSD offload, versus 550/40 with everything in RAM.

I will be very happy if 300 pp is achievable with this model though.
