I Killed A Business Model

Reply in thread

I'm pretty sure OP is not the one that made the video.

There is no mention of AI in the video at all.

TLDW: The creator made a search engine for public domain clips that is free (as in money free), since he was annoyed with stock footage providers charging money for them.

Chinese startup Moonshot AI unveils Kimi model it says rivals OpenAI, Anthropic

Reply in thread

Its trained at native MXFP4 with MXFP8 activations layer, so you need around 1.5TB of VRAM to fully offload it without taking into account the context cache. It might be doable to do some smart expert offloading and swapping, but expect minimum 500GB of VRAM and 1TB of system RAM minimum and the t/s would be reduced.

Its only realistically runnable on datacenter grade gpu at decent speed for now (and judging from the price of ram for the next few years)

I've tried nearly every browser out there and these are my top 6 (none are Chrome)

It's not a backdoor, it just enabled Firefox's remote debugging tool by default, which is necessary if you want to modify the chrome of the browser on your own computer.

At the time it was in one of its first alpha, sure it was naive to ship a browser with it enabled because it was convenient for development, but it was fixed 1 week after the issue was raised, and has been for months.

They use the release candidate to test upcoming Firefox releases and see if it breaks anything, to be able to ship the update on the same day as FF (just like the majority of other forks do). None of the patches they make require extra telemetry except for their "mod" system. Most of the criticism Zen gets about "security" applies to every browser except librewolf and tor. Zen is as secure as firefox is.

All this is coming from someone who doesn't use Zen, as my workflow is constantly broken by their UI changes and bugs (which is the main problem with the browser).

Issues Installing ProtonVPN Official App on Bazzite through Distrobox

The official installation process won't work, as Bazzite is an immutable distro.

You can install it with rpm-ostree. If you choose to do so, I invite you to look into what immutable distros are, and what problems they solve (and create).

I was curious and searched if it was more complicated than it looked for ProtonVPN. It doesn't look complicated, but it is not very straightforward either.

You can find how to do it in the comment of this reddit post
