    That is largely because no one has bothered to build anything remotely close to IG in the last 5+ years besides maybe TikTok. And even then, TikTok is more of an apples and oranges…

    My thing about ExploitGym in particular is that it's testing environment varies depending on the exploit. From what I've read, it tends to favor userspace sandboxing inside Docker …

    Qwen HAS to be a part of the discussion here, even though Microsoft is a US based entity. Their 30b MoE models absolutely hit way above their weight when paired with the right harn…

    You don’t need it if you use llamacpp on Windows, or if you compile it on Linux with CUDA 13 and the correct kernel HMM support, and you’re only using MoE models (which, tbh, you s…

    This needs to be sold as the big ticket item for low level devs. Their chips are some of the most power efficient chips on the market right now. Hoping they release a blade server …

    CUDA 13 on Linux solves the unified memory problem via HMM and llamacpp. It’s an absolute pain to get running without disabling Secure Boot, but that should be remedied literally n…

    Tell HN: Llamacpp now supports unified system RAM offloading on Linux

    I'm a big fan of on-device AI inference for a million reasons, especially its potential to significantly reduce or even potentially eliminate the need for massive AI data center pr…

    False. Local races directly determine the day-to-day laws and rules you live under way more than a POTUS could effectively decree. I don't know about you, but I sure enjoy having r…
