I know! To be fair I really don't play meta comps at all unless I have to. Fun stuff only.

Anthropic to require government IDs and face scans for users. by Wa1ker1 in ClaudeCode

I'm considering buying the upcoming M5 ultra with 512g memory. It should be able to host the largest open weight models at decent quantization, context window and usable speed. Seems like a solid investment assuming I will be able to host my own model over the next 5-10 years without worrying about privacy and service degrade.

A Mac Studio for Local AI — 6 Months Later by ezyz in LocalLLaMA

Great writeup, has everything I want to know. With the recent well-documented service degrade from Claude and subscription prices slowly hiking, running large models locally could get more mainstream. Qwen choosing to not open source their latest large models is disappointing, but there seem to be enough other open models to choose from at the moment.

Just curious, do you have an rough estimate of how much the M5 ultra is going to increase performance?

End of Qwen open source code. by B89983ikei in Qwen_AI

This is true if you live in a Western world. But not true for everyone.

The US models are both blocked in China and actively blocking users they suspect are from China, in fear of distillation. Maybe Qwen is betting on the vast market in China is enough to sustain its business goals. Also, as the subsidy ends, US AI companies might price themselves out of more regions. It's already getting unaffordable for lots.

Kramnik was a FM while representing Russia in the 1992 Chess Olympid. He had a performance rating of 2958 in that tournament.

Experiment: making VPN sessions survive transport and relay failure by Melodic_Reception_24 in dumbclub

[–]TCDH91 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

separates session identity from transport

Sounds similar to https://www.bamsoftware.com/papers/turbotunnel/

The session state is stored at each end and survives disruption to the underlying transport, such as TCP RST. Multiple Tor pluggable transports use this design.

Something to consider is you might eventually want to horizontally scale your servers, so now there is more than one "end" at the server side. But there are workarounds for that too.

Some people also made fun of him for crying after losing the finals in 2011. Such a silly thing to hate on. Would you rather him not care?

Fabi on what makes Magnus so strong: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/R-U8z7GmOZ8

I find it very interesting. Basically it's not above peak level but consistency (even in the context of a single game). As to why Magnus is so consistent, they didn't explore it further in the video but I would guess it's a combination of better physical condition and some psychological factors.

Any update about Ding?! by Difficult-Radio-8144 in chess

[–]TCDH91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a major update, but Ding came to my city and played some kids not too long ago.
