No, we think you’re pirating something. We’re going to lock your system and make it entirely unusable.
Microsoft would 100% do this with Windows if they had the technical competence, heh.
Apple’s just closing off practical workarounds.

I liked this read, though I hate there’s not a good solution that seemingly going to happen.
Nintendo be Nintendo.
The warthog has a purely electric transmission, right?
LLMs, in fact, have slop profiles (aka overused tokens/phrases) common to the family/company, often from “inbreeding” by training on their own output.
Sometimes you can tell if new model “stole” output from another company this way. For instance, Deepseek R1 is suspiciously similar to Google Gemini, heh.
This longform writing benchmark tries to test/measure this (click the I on each model for infographics):

As well as some some disparate attempts on GitHub (actually all from the eqbench dev): https://github.com/sam-paech/slop-forensics
A pretty long time.
Niche models are tons of fun though.
Yeah. I am probably posting this in the wrong community, but I use Cromite over Firefox because its adblocker is native (hence much faster than FF, especially on Android), and it’s more “hardened” for security/privacy in a multitude of ways, like anti-fingerprinting spoofing/tricks, an internal firewall, strict default policies, things like that.
There are variants of FF that lean in that direction as well, though I am less familiar with them.
Has Hungary’s government made noise about leaving the EU?
I wouldn’t think Orban wants to be a Russian vassal like Belarus, so perhaps the EU needs to wave the threat of kicking them out around more.
You could have a video playback issue in FF itself. Try installing FF nightly (alongside FF) and see if it works.
Alternatively, there are stripped versions of Chrome like Cromite that you can try.
The root cause is billionaires.
There’s no stopping trolls completely, but they were self limiting when the internet was more disaggregated and a little less accessible. It’s greedy Big Tech, led by a few people, that weaponized them into world-scale attention farms.
Advertising is a huge enabler yeah, but I have to wonder if they could’ve leveraged other schemes back then, like the Patreon/Onlyfans model, crypto, or whatever.
Don’t feed the trolls

This is one of the "smartest" models you can fit on a 24GB GPU now, with no offloading and very little quantization loss. It feels big and insightful, like a better (albeit dry) Llama 3.3 70B with thinking, and with more STEM world knowledge than QwQ 32B, but comfortably fits thanks the new exl3 quantization!
You need to use a backend that support exl3, like (at the moment) text-gen-web-ui or (soon) TabbyAPI.

Tinycorp generates these headlines every once in awhile, but as far as I can tell no one uses tinygrad. At least not in the tinkerer space I can see.
It’d be cool if they can eat away at PyTorch, XLA and whatever else… Some day… But we also have things like Mojo (and other MLIR stuff), GGML and TVM with similar (though not even close to identical) ambitions.
