Expected the faces to swap mid-fight. They didn't.

Was basically trying to break Seedance 2.5 with a two-person fight.

Usually once they start making contact one face slowly turns into the other. But nope, didnt happen here. both characters actually stayed recognizable the whole way through.

An evaluator can approve the explanation and still miss the wrong intermediate action

Grading an agent’s final explanation is not the same as constraining the operation that produced it.

Appendix B of AQuA describes an earlier feature whose causal-sounding explanation passed reviewer scrutiny even though its full-day volume denominator used future information. The later design replaced that open construction space with a fixed registry of causal operators, making that particular normalizer impossible to express.

The useful lesson is architectural: natural-language review checks a claim after an action has been proposed, while a constrained operator language removes some actions from the space entirely. The paper is also explicit that this does not prevent every possible form of leakage.

For an agent pipeline, should the first line of defense be better tracing and evaluation, or a smaller action language with less flexibility?

Best ways to download youtube videos in 4k as mp4?

most online tools either cap out at 1080p or just fail entirely when you try downloading a longer video. I just want the mp4 in 4k without converting anything after. Whats a good hd video downloader for youtube?

Flying to seoul for a concert but the REAL-NAME ticket rules are giving me hives

okay i might be super naive here but this is my first time trying to go to a concert overseas and i am losing my mind lol.

I was trying to get tickets for a show in seoul during the official sale on interpark, and its a complete nightmare. my passport wouldn't verify for ages and then my US credit card kept getting rejected. needless to say, everything sold out before i could even get past the queue.

so now i'm looking at the secondary market, but i'm tbh terrified of the whole REAL-NAME policy. i've read so many horror stories about international fans getting turned away at the venue because the name on the ticket doesn't match their passport (flying from the us so flights are already costing me a kidney, the absolute last thing i want is to fly 14 hours just to get denied at the gate).

I'm way too scared to buy from a random on twitter or some sketchy discord group. i've been checking some secondary sites and saw some listings on veritickets.

but like, has anyone actually used a site like this for a concert in korea with strict ID checks? i dont get how the transfer would even work if the venue is checking passports. do they actually transfer it to your name or do you just have to pray the security guard doesnt care?

Does an Ollama-ready build keep this 27B's MTP and vision stack?

One line in a new Qwen3.8-27B derivative card caught my eye: the uploader says the vision-language tower and MTP head were preserved through its offline block-FP8 build.

The checkpoint is OrcaRouter's Qwen3.8-27B FP8 derivative. Its card also says the layout follows the official Qwen FP8 scheme. That is useful construction detail, but it does not show what an Ollama conversion keeps.

The supplied evidence has no Ollama run or converted artifact.

For anyone following the Qwen3.8 imports: what would you inspect first to confirm that both features survived in a usable Ollama build?

After the World Cup, I decided to buy a Hisense tv to watch the matches

I had a lot of fun hanging around this sub during the World Cup. The Hisense team was always friendly, and the community made it a good place to be. Ended up picking up a Hisense U7 for the Premier League season, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what it can do

Broke student bike commute carry, nothing fancy but it works

riding a rusty $100 marketplace road bike to summer classes every day, so most of what I carry is either old, secondhand, or the cheapest version I could get away with.

this is basically my everyday bike commute setup right now.

  • 5 year old canvas card wallet, fraying at the edges
  • keys with a scratched-up Gerber Shard
  • mini BIC lighter
  • generic plastic tire levers and a dented patch kit tin
  • no-name USB taillight, rubber strap barely hanging on
  • hoto pocket air pump

pretty much everything here looks a little beat up, but it all earns its spot.

the air pump is probably the least janky thing in the whole setup. I got tired of dealing with slow leaks using whatever random pump happened to be around, so now it just stays in the bag with the rest of this stuff.

curious what other people keep in their daily bike commute setup, especially if you're also riding a cheap bike and trying not to overpack.

Natural scent for the body - how are they gonna make it?

I've also noticed that people from different ethnic backgrounds sometimes seem to have different natural body odors. It seems like white people genetically have a stronger body odor, right? idk Are there tips for getting a good, natural scent? I'm not opposed to perfume, but I'd like to have a nice natural scent as well.

Is Spotify playlist promotion even worth it anymore in 2026?

Not even trying to rant lol but I feel like playlist promo got WAY less effective lately.
I’ve tried SubmitHub, Groover, playlist push type stuff, random IG promo pages, even a most famous spotify smm panel: streamingmafia ( I knew using bot plays is dumb but be sure results awere better than playlist submit websites )
Only thing that kinda moved numbers for me recently was combining small playlist campaigns + low level stream boosts so the algo actually notices the song.
Curious what everyone else is doing rn for spotify promotion? what’s actually working for indie artists?

Software for multiple trades at once

Our setup is a little weird because we handle concrete, masonry and sometimes hardscaping on the same jobs.Most software I have tried makes you buy separate modules for every single trade,which adds up fast. looked at ScopeTakeoff, and it looks like they bundle the trade libraries together. Has anyone run a multi trade project through it? i want to know if I can spit out one single combined proposal or if it forces you to make separate ones. PlanSwift always feels too clunky for this. Just trying to keep everything under one roof if possible.

16 chat sessions at once off one 128GB box

Most local AI numbers you see describe one person typing at one machine. A home server serves a house, so that's the wrong number to be quoting.

Someone published a run this month on a single 128GB box, and the panel worth reading is the concurrency one: around 16 chat sessions going at the same time, about 125 tokens a second across all of them together. The other panels are single user figures, which is what everyone quotes.

(I don't have one of these boxes. This is somebody else's chart and I've only seen the one run of it.)

Sixteen at once is roughly what a house asks for anyway. Two adults asking things, a homework helper, and a couple of automations chewing through feeds overnight.

The model in that run was Ling 3.0 Flash, weights open and MIT licensed, so there's no account involved and nothing has to leave the building.

No idea what it draws at the wall.

If you already serve more than one person off one box I'd like to know where it starts getting unpleasant, because that's the part nobody seems to publish.

i hate “recommended” labels but apparently i still need to know what everyone else picked

realized i'm incredibly inconsistent about this.

if an app puts "recommended" or "best choice" next to something, my first reaction is almost always to ignore it.

like thanks, but i'll decide for myself.

but give me three or four options that all look equally fine and suddenly i'm sitting there wishing somebody would just tell me what everyone else picked.

noticed this last week while a friend was setting up menuforma.

there were a few layout options on the screen and we'd been giving him a hard time because he kept saying he wanted to change all the defaults and have "full control."

then he got to three layouts that looked pretty similar, stared at them for maybe five seconds and went

"wait, which one do most people use?"

everyone laughed at him and then i realized... yeah, i do exactly that too.

apparently i don't want an app deciding for me, but i do want a bunch of strangers to narrow things down first.

i do it with restaurants too. i'll ignore the dish marked "popular" and then immediately open reviews to see what people ordered.

makes absolutely no sense.

what's something you refuse to let a "recommended" label choose for you, but still check what everyone else picked?

three months of tracking and i still cannot find a pattern

Three months of logging and all I have is a calendar full of dots that still do not line up.

one month is short, the next drags on, and the symptom notes never repeat in the same order. the only thing the app seems confident about is that my cycle is irregular, which is not exactly new information.

after a while the history stops feeling neutral. I open it hoping to notice something useful and mostly see a record of every month that refused to fit the template.

Circul came up while i was looking at rings with fairly basic cycle-related features, like period prediction and temperature data. its app also has daily flow, which could give me a little more to go on day to day, but i am not expecting any of that to suddenly explain an irregular cycle.

before spending a few hundred dollars on another tracker, i need to work out whether seeing that every day would actually make the tracking more useful or just give me another screen to worry about.

maybe tracking can still be useful without producing a neat pattern. maybe it is also okay to admit that having more things to check does not automatically make the information more valuable.

would that be useful context, or just another number to check before breakfast?

Has a bespoke "community" licence ever actually stopped somebody from shipping a repack?

A licence only gets tested when somebody outside the lab wants to publish a modified copy.

Everything before that is a download button. The screenshot is a build nobody at the lab made. A third party converted it and repacked it, it loads on someone else's machine, and the repack carries the same licence tag as the original. It's a load screen, nothing dramatic.

Ling 3.0 Flash is a dull case on this axis. Plain MIT on a 124B total, 5.1B active release.

Says nothing about whether the model is any good. So this is me asking for the other side of it. Has anyone got a case where a bespoke community licence actually stopped a derivative from shipping?

Do you also keep aloe gel in the fridge?

I don't know why it took me this long to try it lol but  yesterday I threw my aloe gel in the fridge and I was outside for a while and my face and shoulders were feeling pretty warm when I got home. Used the cold gel and it  felt way better than when it's just sitting at room temp. Idk if it was due to keeping it in the fridge or not but it was great.

I'm so exhausted by the learning curve of every new tool...

I'm soooo tired of watching tutorials. every new tool I try like 20-min "getting started" video, sometimes actually 50-page doc, discord full of jargon. By the time I figure it out, I don't even want to create anymore.

I just want to open something and make stuff. Is that too much to ask? My Fri told me about Framia. Said "you just type." I didn't believe her.

but she was literally right! I JUST open it, pick an agent, describe what I want, and it goes. No complicated tutorials, no too much learning curve.

Howver I have to say Is the output perfect? Nope. but I'd rather have "good enough and immediate" than "perfect after 3 hours of setup."

I just wanna create something, not learn how to create. finally found something that lets me do that lol

cute chair recs for my first real setup? 🌿🖥️

hi everyone!! 🫶 I’m finally putting together my first proper PC setup after using my laptop at the kitchen table for way too long lol.
I want the space to feel soft and cozy, probably cream with light green and a little pink, but the chair is completely throwing me off. my boyfriend keeps telling me to just buy a black mesh office chair because “comfort matters more than the aesthetic,” which is probably true, but I refuse to let the chair ruin the entire setup 😭

I’d love something supportive enough for gaming and occasional WFH days, but still cute and not super corporate-looking. bonus points if the seat is wide enough to sit criss-cross sometimes and the fabric doesn’t immediately collect every piece of cat hair in the apartment.

right now I have a branch chair saved, a couple of pastel gaming chairs, and one of the lighter nouhaus chairs that Instagram keeps showing me. the nouhaus one looks like the best compromise between an actual office chair and something that wouldn’t look weird in a cozy setup, but I’ve never spent this much on a chair before and don’t know what features actually matter.

for anyone who built a cute setup without sacrificing comfort, what chair did you end up with? and did the cushioning still feel good after a few months? 🥹
