DDoS protection is pretty essential. I highly encourage you to read through what they offer if you're not familiar.
So the complaint is that one day they have such a strong monopoly that they can freely turn evil? Just want to make sure I understand the real issue here, because that sounds like a lot of fearmongering to me.
Honestly don't even know how to take this kind of comment seriously. Not only are you not addressing anything related to the core issue, but you seem to be under the impression that businesses should be intentionally…
They're creating optional opt-in protection layers for the services they operate. I genuinely don't understand these generic complaint comments. Are you complaining that they offer too much? Or do you believe nobody is…
Are you genuinely asking "does anybody even need any of their services"?
What Cloudflare competitors offer a similar range of services?
How is it hyperbolic when it's literally the subject of the post? Did you not read the OP?
Those are people without a better option. Big difference vs xAI, where the sentiment is valid.
Well that's not what's happening here, lol.
If it weren't a real problem, these types of articles and services wouldn't exist.
That's pretty accurate to what I've seen, I'd definitely recommend a smaller model for active agentic use on that hardware. It definitely seems to be the leader on 'general intelligence' on this hardware from my casual…
Heads up, you can absolutely run DS4 Flash on a 128gb machine - I have it running on my Strix Halo box right now. https://github.com/antirez/ds4
It looks like it has 4 tiles on it, no?
The demand is not coming from 'normal Apple customers' it's coming from people who want a machine that can run local AI. It has nothing to do with Macs being especially good at AI. It has everything to do with being one…
For most coding or agentic tasks, Qwen 3.6 27B likely outperforms, yes. For 'general intelligence', DS4 Flash seems to be a noticeable step up still.
Oh, it is. I was looking at the Huggingface repo which listed the lower number at the top of the page, looks like that's wrong.
Oh apparently I misread the size, I thought it was much closer at first. 299B for Hy3 vs 165B for Flash - not quite comparable
Curious how people feel about this compared to DS4 Flash, given they are pretty close in size. Also curious how well it holds up to heavy quantization. DS4 Flash can currently run reasonably well on systems with ~96gb+…
Looks great - is there any info on what server resources are actually required per feature or user count?

RIP to the end of an era. Was IdTech used outside of Id? Or was it just a Doom series thing as of recently?
Ah ya then that's a bit of a gap. For anyone considering these devices, the only reason I would recommend against them is if you plan on getting multiple to link together - the DGX Spark has a much, much faster…
These devices were great when they were cheaper than the DGX Spark. But when they cost the same price (unless the Spark has shot up too), there's no reason to buy this over a Spark. The Spark is literally a faster…
Is it really that expensive to not do stuff like this? I guess 'turning the entirety of the American public against data centers' is not something they factor into the cost analysis.
It depends - for what? If your security model is sandboxing an agent to ensure they don't nuke your PC, then there are a lot of options, you can use something like bubblewrap[1] or a microVM like libkrun[2] if your goal…
