I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @[email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

    Okay,

    So let me get this straight, when I actively asked you to communicate with me, you refused, humiliated me and made sure to insult me in front of people.

    You defame me in public with your CVE-2026-45585 advisory even though you literally deleted the Microsoft account I used to report bugs to you with and I got zero pennies from doing so and I still happily did like an idiot.

    Now you take the courtesy to flag my github account and wipe it out of the public, just like that ? You are proving to everyone that you actively escalating this conflict but I’m done begging you.

    I might sound like crazy idiot who is whinning around but I have proof for every single word I said, I just can’t release it yet. Why ? Microsoft still has chains in my hands, it’s been like this for years and I just can’t stay silent anymore. I hope I can release the documents soon.

    Mark this date July 14th, I will make sure your bones are shattered that day. Nothing will be released this June (or maybe I will release smtg, depending on circumstances).

    Also,

    CVE-2026-45498 is UnDefend

    CVE-2026-41091 is RedSun

    People only read the title, not the article

    You can’t require reading the article before someone vote/comment, but what if communities could enable “ponder voting” where users can only vote 30 seconds after viewing the post? This would prevent people from scrolling by from voting, but people who at least slightly skim the article first won’t be affected.

    Probably not viably due to it having to be supported by all platforms, but just a thought.

    EDIT: It could work by returning a JWT with a post ID and time when fetching the post and having the vote endpoint support providing it. Although, I can also see it being a bit annoying and being trivially bypassed by adding some code to the client.

  • qaz@lemmy.worldtoAsklemmy@lemmy.ml•At some point AI companies are going to have to charge real money to make a profit from their services. What do you think that amount would be and why?English

    Companies like Claude with their AI subscriptions might be losing money, but I doubt paid-per-token AI API usage is not making them money. There are several companies like e.g. DeepInfra and Fireworks that have sprung up to sell specifically that. I don’t think simply multiplying API cost with expected usage is sufficient to estimate how much will be charged however, because I suspect that OpenAI and Claude currently have a significant profit margin since they seem to be the defacto duopoly in the US.

    The chart above shows that quite clearly, the vertical axis is the combined score on various benchmarks. The horizontal axis shows the price. OpenAI and Claude do score higher, but the price difference is enormous, even if it wasn’t a log scale (70$ vs 1.3k$ for similar results!). The competition of these companies could drastically reduce the margins of US companies,

    I therefore think the pricing will depend on whether the large US AI companies manage to lobby the government to enact laws to cripple the competition of Chinese companies under the guise of security.
