    I have tested this exact scenario, and it works. Opus 5 had access to IDA over MCP, and I simply asked it HOW certain things were done in the target binary. Purely informational, e…

    I didn't feel like installing a whole redis-server service on my Windows machine, so instead I built a lightweight yet very capable clone. Maybe you'll find it handy for local deve…

    I set this up today on my 5090 at Q6_K quantization and Q4_0 KV, got 50 tokens/s consistently at 123k context, using ~28/32gb vram through LM Studio.

    Yeah, it's token intensive but worth it. I built a very dumb example harness which used IDA via MCP and analyzed/renamed/commented all ~67k functions in a binary, using Claude Haik…

    Somehow not surprising to see this take on the front page. How embarrassing.

    I remember being an early teenager on IRC and joining a small BBS development team. I said I knew Pascal, but that was a fib... I did learn it quickly, though, and used it for many…

    Same here... It's still amazing, and I have no legitimate reason to upgrade. Could be looked at as a failure of some sort, that they haven't given us a good reason.

    Not mentioned in the article, but one major provider for this is AskSage.ai, which has built up a lot of features around creating government documents, proposals, RFPs, etc.

    Depends who you ask. To me, NDT is unbearable too...

    Not by themselves... but with a good program built around it, managing the actual state, and very careful prompting, yes. I've been thinking about this for a while, always have the…

    The OpenAI reference came at the end, and it appears it's mostly a fallback... an option, that users must explicitly allow every time. Hardly a dependency. Most of the time, it wil…

    At the end of the article, that's my takeaway too. I can't imagine going to this level of effort on the Vision Pro and not keeping it to see how the software develops.

    It is extremely silly to think using Gab AI says anything about you, except you want good AI that isn't ruined. Extremely silly.

    You really don't have to talk to Hitler, there are 200+ other characters to choose from... and no, I don't think there is a middle ground when it comes to censorship. Either all le…

    If you want uncensored.. https://gab.ai is also comparing well with gpt4.

    I have the Bambu Lab X1C with the AMS and I'm chomping at the bit to get a second AMS and the Hub... If they weren't backordered I would have already. I've had machines from Type A…

    You think a font being a few tenths of a millimeter off spec is a "dangerous defect" ? Let me guess... not a fan of Elon.

    Perhaps it's time to fight over words. The definition of recall no longer works, and I believe it is constantly used specifically negatively against Tesla. It has an effect on most…
