There is no such thing like “running model with your training data”. To change model’s behavior you need to fine-tune it, which means: to continue training it on your own data set. For this to happen you need to have your own dataset, computing power and knowledge how to do it because you may as well make your model performing worse. It is not an easy task.

China is winning the race just because they release open weights of a models. The main question is: why do they do that? They don’t earn money, so there must be something else that they gain. Political influence maybe? Spreading propaganda? Has anyone checked if those models answer questions about Tiananmen Square?

Yay, another day with Windows Sloperating System

Why would I want to use it instead of or alongside with Syncthing? What does it do better?

I don’t think privacy will be ever an advantage of fediverse or any federated platform. Isn’t it actually quite opposite by design? The goal of fediverse is to make you and your account discoverable by anyone. You comments, your likes, your follows are public. Fediverse is for freedom not for privacy.

This platform is just evil, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I opened it recently. Most recommended posts are just dumb tiktok-like short videos, sometimes soft porn even. All of these mixed with stuff posted by governments, politicians as it’s their way communicate with citizens. It’s just crazy, it’s like we replaced law gazette with posting official stuff in tabloids.

…and a year when Half life 3 is released ;)

…and despite that people are upvoting, because who cares about facts, let’s just hate a thing that I don’t like

I’m using Proton for privacy, not anonymity. I’ve literally put my name and surname in my email address. I don’t care if someone knows that me is me.

But I do care that no one is reading and/or automatically processing my mails.

It’s not “manufacturered”, so it’s not conspiracy. But it’s from unreasonable and unacceptable high demand.

Who are investors and where is their money from?

If it’s from investment funds, then I’ve got bad news for all of you, it is your money as well.

I hope this “AI” knows what language is used in songs. Sometimes I like to listen to songs in certain language (usually the one I’m actually learning). The potential use case would be to create a playlist with songs of certain language and genre I like.

As for now, it turns out it’s incredibly hard to do. For example even if you find, say, popular French song and use option to “find similar” then algorithm usually finds either songs with similar genre or even french songs but sang in English.

We evaluated Devstral 2 against DeepSeek V3.2 and Claude Sonnet 4.5 using human evaluations conducted by an independent annotation provider, with tasks scaffolded through Cline. Devstral 2 shows a clear advantage over DeepSeek V3.2, with a 42.8% win rate versus 28.6% loss rate. However, Claude Sonnet 4.5 remains significantly preferred, indicating a gap with closed-source models persists.

Thank you for being honest about performance

saves 15 million euros in license costs

This attitude is plainly wrong. If you use Linux because it is free as “free of charge” then you are missing a point. You should use it because it is open.

I would even say that they should contribute the same amount of money to organisations that actually develop a software that are going to use. Because they will certainly need support and security patches and this will never be free

Some people might think you are joking, but it’s actually true

It’s the IKEA effect. You tend to like something more if you built it yourself.

Cloud. Windows is going to be sold as remotely accessible virtual machine hosted on Azure. The change will first take place in government offices, then in companies, and finally (after people get used to it at work) among consumers.

Why would gov and enterprise like it? Because of:

• safety - all enterprise data will be stored on Azure servers and won’t ever leave it. It makes preventing data leakage so much easier
• maintenance - software updates can be applied even outside of working hours, Microsoft could launch VMs and update at any time
• ease of upgrade - need better specs? you don’t need to buy better hardware anymore, you just buy better subscription. Hardware won’t become obsolete anymore that quickly

Consumers will also like it. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for new GPU when you just want to play newly released game. All your data accessible from anywhere in the world.

Yes, sounds ridiculous, but how will this ratio change if we take into account the cost of hiring a programmer and the costs of implementation of a niche feature that this experiment provides at a cost of LLM inference?

Also: we can cache and reuse enpoint implementation.

Stack Exchange. I know, controversial, as people complain about rules being there too strict and community not being too welcoming nowadays, but still a real goldmine of knowledge. All of that with no ads, no spam, no dark patterns.

Even if you go to Europe (where I live), you will still listen to American music, read news about America everywhere, eat American crap food, use American Internet services, watch American TV shows. It is not easy to leave America :D
