Riskable

Fork over dinner just this one tine.

You would kick so much ass at Beat Saber, you’d be the number one player in like a day!

I’m not misrepresenting anything. If you take any model and just change the temperature a little bit (it’s a setting that controls the influence of the RNG) you can have wildly different output.

Different AI providers using the exact same model will have outputs so different using the same exact prompts you’d think they were in different universes.

They absolutely do not “have the same hallmarks.”

This stuff is benchmarked to absurd degrees every time a new model comes out. Just look it up already! You’re so obviously arguing from an ignorant position it’s silly.

1. They do not all write the same. There’s benchmarks for this and if you just do a basic search or actually test them yourself you’ll see that their output differs wildly. Not only between vendors, but been versions of the same model. For example, Claude stopped using em dashes for most output for a while but now they’ve come back.
2. There’s vastly more than “a handful of models”! Are you living under a rock‽ Go to HuggingFace today and then again tomorrow. There’s going to be a dozen new ones! Probably more!
3. Changing the back end configuration even a tiny bit can vastly change the output of a model.

Great! Now do the right thing and fine Facebook a bazillion dollars for trying to fuck with your election.

FYI: Pangram sucks. It’s about as accurate as throwing darts these days.

A long, long time ago (i.e. 2024) there was only one LLM that was widely used by the populace: ChatGPT. It only had a few versions and they didn’t differ much in how they worded output.

Now it’s 2026 and we have hundreds of thousands of AI models. That includes over 1000 commercial vendor models!

Another thing that’s really important that you need to understand is that even if two providers run the same model, their configurations will be different and thus, their output won’t be the same.

To summarize: There’s no fucking way Pangram can work properly anymore. It’s useless garbage.

Have you ever configured the kernel? As in make menuconfig.

There’s a zillion options in there and best practices dictates that you only enable that which you need. For example, why would you enable support for sound cards that don’t exist in your board? Beyond wasting space, it could enable some vulnerability discovered in the future.

Example: My PC doesn’t have a MIPI DSI display connector (or support for one on the motherboard), so why would I enable support for that in my kernel? Sure, I could compile it as a module and let it sit there, taking up a few kilobytes of space on my hard drive but why?

It makes no sense to support CD ROMs on a VR headset so I completely understand why they didn’t enable the driver. Even though it’s a “real PC”, the Steam Frame is still embedded hardware.

I want to know why this person wants CD ROM support! The Steam Frame has at least a 256GB SSD and a Micro SD card slot. Just put the ISO (or .bin/.cue files) on one of those and mount it like any other loopback filesystem or use FUSE cdemu (yes, Linux has support for that built-in; unlike Windows haha). It’ll be a zillion times faster and a vastly superior experience!

Aside: Yes, I know Windows 11 can natively mount an ISO file but it only supports a limited subset of the filesystems that you can find on CD/DVD ROMs. So unless the image is ISO9660 with the Joilet extension or UDF, it’s not going to work. Example: Trying to mount a PS1 CD ROM works in Linux but not Windows. Not without 3rd party stuff, anyway.

Good news: We’re rapidly making FOSS the most secure software ever.

Bad news: We’re doing it in the most painful way possible.

Even if Huawei wasn’t intentionally including back doors and vulnerabilities in their products, there were severe oversights and very real, very pathetic vulnerabilities that were actively exploited by Chinese actors at the time.

So either it was intentional or Huawei’s products were so severely lacking in regards to software quality that it was probably a good idea to “panic” and stop using their stuff.

The anti-AI sentiment here is ridiculous. They were asking a legitimate question!

I just use ollama locally but I keep meaning to setup OpenRouter because I like to play with larger models that my hardware can’t handle and I’d like to be able to pick the best deals 🤷‍♀️

That’s kind of high for the middle of Louisiana. Just sayin.

It didn’t say what companies it was. Anyone know?

For all we know it was some physics lab trying to develop fusion reactor designs.
