Quoting: AlveKattI have a feeling this isn't an LLM but an actual specialized AI system. The companies keep conflating different machine learning cases to drive their AGI narrative.

It's LLM, and might be nothing special, just marketing as usual: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/the-boy-that-cried-mythos-verification-is-collapsing-trust-in-anthropic/

Anthropic have been talking up their new Claude Mythos, which is apparently so powerful and dangerous at finding security vulnerabilities in various software that they've currently chosen to keep it private so only a few select companies and organisations have access to it in Project Glasswing.

in other news:

Anthropic confirms breach of Claude Mythos model and has launched an investigation into the unauthorized access, per bloomberg. Attackers used contractor login credentials of a compromised third party vendor and guessed internal URLs to access multiple unreleased models.

Quoting: TevurJust another, vaguely related thing:

Yeserday, I got an update for Steam Runtime 4.0.
When was that released? What is the difference to Sniper? Who uses it?
Why is it not codenamed, yet? (vote for cannoneer)
Maybe for VR, Fex and the Frame...?

Each new Steam Runtime is based on a newer version of Debian. More info [here](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/steamrt/-/blob/steamrt/steamrt4/README.md).

Quoting: ScottCarammellon one hand, I love Framework and I REALLY want to get one of their laptops when I can afford to.

on the other hand. $1200. base price without RAM or storage. they're not exactly making it easy

My thoughts exactly... They produce nice hardware, but that laptop with the RAM and SSD I need easily puts it higher than what I payed for my computer. That's just not gonna happen, I cannot mindlessly throw away that kind of money.

Quoting: GerarderloperI do wonder how long until this extends to ALL software. Imagine having to have your face and id scanned to play a game or use an adobe app.

Could be worse. What if instead of your id, they wanted to scan your superego?

Thank you, will do exactly that! :) I just know some books, solaris for example, and there is a brilliant german [adaptation](https://youtu.be/A9D_PlfpBH4?si=PEywZLeCGTE2ZRdB) of the Star Diaries (the guy filmed the first ones in his berlin apartment, and you can see it). Okay, Cyberiad will be directly after The Invincible. :)

Huh that's interesting I thought Proton Experimental is always bleeding edge and ahead of any release or beta

War is horrible unnecessary hell and video games should depict it as such

World War I, the war in which the only "good guys" were James Connolly and the Irish Republican Brotherhood and Lenin and the Bolsheviks. The redrawing of the lines of imperialism in which workers, peasants, and even brown people from colonial occupations were sent to die for the white ruling class.

A divisive conflict, one that saw the closure of the Second International with the split between the revolutionary socialists and bourgeois socialists. The latter of which who were merely liberals holding a red rose. Who not only failed to get over themselves, but also failed to get over the vanity of nations and even imperialism itself.

That's usually how bureaucracy goes, it just keeps spreading like a cancer until nothing can move!

Hopefully the damage done by age verification laws can be limited (ideally, they would not be made at all, but I'm not expecting much in the way of regulatory competence right now).

Hi, the automatic DLL injector was added in Wine 11.6. This may be added to Proton when 11.** or 12. is moved to the stable branch

Quoting: WORMI can’t help but think a similar tool targeting Windows would be super janky and cost $20.

VoiceMeeter is actually free, although they do ask for money if you want. And it provides a lot of features that makes it a breeze to manage a fair amount of real and virtual input/output with multiple routing, in addition to a pretty good networked audio solution on top of it and various built-in effects.

It's actually the piece of software I miss the most from windows, although I just coded a pair of scripts that tweak all my audio devices as needed, now, so all of this is kinda moot to me now. And it also auto-toggle when my wireless corsair headset connects, which was impossible to do on windows, as far as I know.

Still, it's nice to have more good UI for audio management moving forward. Pulsemeeter is another project, but seems to move very slowly, and not everyone is comfortable with just piping scripts in `pw-cli`.

I'm most excited for the couch keyboard which will perfectly compliment my couch gaming setup and make the ocasional dive into desktop mode much less annoying.😇 And with QMK/VIA support and triple connection mode, that's an instant buy for me.

its ironic that the steam deck competition that bet on power to compete against it , will be the most affected by the hardware prices...
now if valve could start selling the deck again...

Quoting: mr-victoryAND TOUCHSCREEN TOO??

Meh. This is one of those features that, I know you have to have it nowadays, but I'd pay a bit extra not to. I never use it deliberately, but I do sometimes use it accidentally, which is a pain, and it means I need to think twice before I flick a piece of lint off the screen, and it's an invitation to get my screen all fingermarky. Basically, to me touchscreens are mostly there to create an extra point of failure, a reason for things to randomly fuck up because I touched my screen.

You forgot about the incoming Oculink Dev Kit. To summarize this is a module you add in the expansion bay to give a Oculink 8i port to the Framework 16 plus an Oculink 8i PCIe Dock size for normal GPU + corresponding Oculink cable plus a Oculink 8i dock to use the Framework 16 GPU module externaly. (A bit less useful).

The fact that it uses Oculink 8i means that this is PCIe x8 with 128 Gbps.

I wonder when will the automatic DLL injector that WINE 11.7 (Or was it 11.6) introduced, will come to Proton. Considering that it will make modding much less of a hassle, I imagine quite fast.

I'd also like to vouch for the Logitech K400 Plus, been using it for quite a few years now on my main pc when I'm on the sofa and it does the job!

Makes sense because how would they even enforce such a law on FOSS in the first place, it'd be pretty hard to police all those different distros

Quoting: RTherenI've sent it to a friend of mine who's a huge AitD fan.... he wasn't happy with the quality of this AI slop, at all.

I don't blame him at all. I got all excited and jumped out of my seat when I saw the headline. Then I watched the video. No thanks.

Those doors...
We need a proper remake. Those sounds were taken from the original game and AiTD 4 New Nightmare. Maybe they could remake the entire game using that engine or something or make an actual 3D implementation.

Elgato Wave Link which seems this app at least for the Desktop app seems heavily inspired by is Free on windows and doesn't required any of their mics any more

I went desktop route because I wanted neither a mac, nor a heavy brick nor an expensive but weak (especially in GPU) laptop. I am hyped for a laptop for the first time. Price / performance is not great as usual for framework but they are putting something unique and valuable on the table this time with battery life.

AND TOUCHSCREEN TOO??
