Confirming Firefox issue here too


I have the issue on Firefox, but not on Chrome.


It's not too farfetched, given Nvidia previously implemented a LHR GPU model lineup. I can envision them doing something similar to cripple LLMs in the near future.


Its what things like Bard and ChatGPT and BLOOM are all based off of. You need GPUs to load the weights into memory of to run them (typically).


Thanks.

Why would Nvidia want to prevent someone from doing it though (I guess they have a competing product?), and why should any consumer accept being prevented from doing it on hardware they've purchased? Is that even legal?


To get a cut of the compute-cake. See: Nvidia LHR GPUs


Nvidia! Fuck you!



Do you have a brand you like? I'm thinking of getting a countertop device soon and they sell a "re-alkalizes it" version but I don't know if that's "enough" and of the right type and I'd like to cover my bases in case it's not.


This is a site that steals content and rehosts it and is posing as Reuters.com. Note that there is no proper listed author, the "About" is generic and vague (if you search "Here we will provide you only interesting content, which you will like very much" from their about with quotes on google, you'll see it's used by dozens of blogspam sites, likely a wordpress template placeholder). Please flag it and support original sources and avoid blogspam.


Recently I sometimes encounter random blogpost (but not seems to copied from news sites in English) like this, primary translated from Chinese. I admit that it's sometimes useful.


This entire article is a word for word rip from Futurity in 2015 with no credit given: https://www.futurity.org/darwinius-teeth-lemurs-1002342/

Other articles from the site are stolen too, this for example http://thenewworldpost.com/world/health/2022/01/01/black-dea... was stolen word for word (shuffled a bit) from Dailymail: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10080541/Black-Deat... again no credit given. This is just blogspam.


This poster's whole submission history is a little bizarre; Three pieces of blogspam from "Thomas Blobaum" and one thing related to the "Nebraska Blackshirts", a part of a US college football team.


For sure. Their other submissions match the substack by the same name as the author on this site and also matches the OP's username. The content of those submissions are insane ramblings about immortality, Babylon, and "ancient secrets".


Yeah, I'm pretty sure he just launched the site and he's working on it right now. I think you can edit that page...


"I'm pretty sure he just launched the site and he's working on it" -- you're the site owner, your username matches the author/owner of the website. What sort of spammy shtick are you trying to pull here?


That's not my username. He is a friend though


User "JBaum" denying ownership of an article stolen by "James Blobaum" who loves using the word "Baum" in his ramblings. Sure, okay, totally legit. Hackernews isn't for spam or theft dude. Also, where's your SSL cert???


Most of the VPN discussion/coupon subs are literally run by the VPN companies themselves. r/VPNCoupons and r/VPN are run by Surfshark, for example. Nord and CyberGhost also run astroturf rings for themselves too.


I got two of the exact same spam messages in a gmail inbox this morning that was as of yet "unspoiled" and not in some spam email database. Those were probably the first in more than a year.


I see a lot of fake companies/websites list their address as 405 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017 -- which is the UN's NY HQ. There's a few mailing centers with P.O. Boxes in the area that a lot of fake companies are registered to as well. They must think having Manhattan in their address lends them some credibility.


They must think having Manhattan in their address lends them some credibility.

It does. That's why, thanks to number portability, you can sell a 212 area code number for hundreds, or even thousands of dollars.
