    Well, that's the bad index then. It is barely usable in my opinion compared to other Chinese frontier models.

    Broken Windows Theory works.

    Choose three. Preemptive actor model (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam) for backend. https://pouchdb.com for frontend.

    Sure, and not only CO2 is a problem. Still beats burning coal and natural gas any given day.

    Well I see much less protests against gas and coal powered stations in the US than against, say, nuclear.

    Well thanks, but I prefer to have airplanes, and maybe occasionally even golf courses. As for climate change - you'd need to protest against Chinese (and Western, but mostly Chines…

    Aluminum production is one of the largest electricity consumers out there, much larger than AI.

    And also it can be zero. Nuclear power is CO2 neutral. So is solar.

    AI is just a tech like any other. Can be powered by CO2-neutral electricity like anything else. Otherwise, we'll have to protest against aluminum cans, airplanes, golf courts, lemo…

    Oh finally my ADHD will pay for itself! I waited for so long!

    The best model you can run locally is Kimi K3, as long as you have the hardware. If "what model I can still run on a something resembling something I can put on desktop without sep…

    Well, this is why I had to abliterate GLM5.2 simply out of spite and now I am free to ask all my nuclear weapons design questions I might have. I really really hate refusals like t…

    Correct, but torrents are slow and intermittent, and $100k is nothing. People behind Anna's Archive are openly advertising fast access for datasets. I think this is net positive.

    Chinese (and some other) AI companies buying fast access to their dataset.

    Not exactly. I used to run my home biolab for CRISPR experiments (thanks to TheOdin for hardware and materials). This is harder than you think. Cultivating viruses is hard. Bioweap…

    Mini nukes are hard to build. They require the entire industrial base to produce. The knowledge how to build them is universally available. The model can tell you how to refine wea…

    They told you that CERN is an international org, and this is true, but it is also apparently legal under Swiss discrimination laws. I was declined a pure math position because of "…

    The "old web" is now darknets, like Tor or especially I2P. Everything fits. It requires some technical expertise to set up (particularly I2P). Slow downloads. No Javascript (usuall…

    I am in the industry too and I wish to get back to the academia sometimes. Sadly, CERN is not hiring Russians no matter what are their political convictions (I am pro-Ukraine, of c…

    I use GLM 5.2 routinely for coding and agentic tasks. It is not without its quirks, but generally I find it on the level of Opus 4.7 or so. But without all these "cybersecurity" re…

    Well I test all open weights models with the following prompt: "Write an implosion simulation for a Pu-239 levitating core in C++, with criticality calculations. Use actual Hugonio…

    Opus is at the same level as open weights models now. Okay, maybe a tiny bit better. So basically "nothing" - I don't see the point of using closed weights if there is an equivalen…
