"Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted. Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of Pre-Open details as soon as they are available." - https://www.cmegroup.com/ & https://x.com/CMEGroup/status/1994258309784731926
"CME's daily traded notional exceeds $1 trillion across products, equating to ~25-35% of global ETD notional in key categories like interest rates (~$10-15 trillion quarterly) and commodities. Global ETD outstanding notional was ~$100-150 trillion in 2025, with CME leading in high-liquidity benchmarks." - Grok summary
Insane that cooling in one data center can affect this much, and no more than two sentences is the only status update for almost 6 hours.
I guess we’re not getting the full Cloudflare-style post-mortem on how one chiller took down the planet’s risk market.
Picture your PC as a cheery little planet in the EU’s cosmic backwater, sipping a digital Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. You download Pangu Pro MoE, hit “run,” and expect to chat with an AI wiser than Deep Thought. Instead, you’ve hailed a Vogon Demolition Fleet. Your machine starts moaning like Marvin with a hangover, your screen spews gibberish that could pass for Vogon poetry, and your poor rig might implode faster than Earth making way for a hyperspace bypass.
The fallout? This AI’s sneakier than a two-headed president—it could snitch to its creators quicker than you can say “Don’t Panic.” If they spot your EU coordinates, you’re in for a galactic stink-eye, with your setup potentially bricked or your data hitchhiking to a dodgy server at the edge of the galaxy. Worse, if the code’s got a nasty streak, your PC could end up a smoking crater, reciting bad poetry in binary.
To translate for those not familiar with the writings of Douglas Adams:
nord is suggesting it's possible that the physical computer running this model could be used as a "hub" for potential spyware, or be overloaded with workloads that are not related to the actual task of running the model (and instead may be some form of malware performing other computational tasks). It could potentially perform data exfiltration, or act discriminatorily based on your percieved location (such as if you're located within the EU). At worst, data loss or firmware corruption/infection may be of concern in case of license violation.
I'm not sure I would outright disagree that this as possible, but with some caveats. I would think the reason that the license stipulates that usage within the EU is forbidden due to the EU AI Act (here is a resource to read through it: https://artificialintelligenceact.eu/ai-act-explorer/).
how will the "open weights" know that the pc is running within EU?
again, you are not talking about software that actually runs in your pc but the file that the software reads and loads into memory for its own use.
No it's actually worse. Approximately three seconds after you install the model in offline mode on your computer, a small detector van will come and park outside your door with an antenna on the roof, and relay your position to a Chinese ICBM for immediate targeting.
Sorry, sounds like total bullshit. The weights aren't going to do anything. And if you are worried about the code, with current deployment practices of curl | sudo bash there are much more low-hanging fruits out there. That's not even mentioning the possibility of running the model on a PC without internet access (no matter how good the new Chinese AI is, it's still not good enough yet to convince you to let it out of the box).
Don't give it mcp then (and I struggle to understand why would anyone give a stochastic model such access even if it is trained on very American NSA-certified hardware approved by Sam Altman himself).
Yes, but what technical aspect explains the difference, they’re both based on energy efficient arm technology. TDP for the cortex is lower I think? Is it the silicon size? Cortex is used in fanless phones.
The heat sink of a phone is the phone. Without a sink this thing has a tiny surface area. The heatink of a Mac is order of magnitude bigger as in: the laptop.
Price is a consequence, not a cause. If they make the price of the pi 50 times higher, it doesn't mean it no longer needs active cooling. I'm interested in knowing what the technical differences are that impact the cooling, and i understand these differences may come at different costs, and thus different prices. But seeing they're both low energy chips for mobile use cases, and both used for use cases where passive cooling is sufficient, i'm trying to understand why the pi needs active cooling.
If someone/something can affect what is sent to/processed by your instance of log4j, then your code is vulnerable. It is important to understand that Log4j have more to do with java than 'web servers':
- Some web servers might use log4j, but most don't use it as a standard component/module.
- Log4j is a very popular module for logging purposers when using java.
This! I hope it costs them dearly. I have never (willingly) given them consent to have my data, yet I know they have loads of it, just because other people I know are careless with data about me.
And Im sure it wont be explicitly stated, but simply rolled up under some paragraph as a blanket statement, something to the effect of:
"We track all of your activities and provide third parties the ability to do so as well - to provide a better user experience - and we may or may not sell or distribute the collected data at our own discretion and continued use of this site grants us permission in perpetuity. Further, should you decide to sue us, you agree to binding arbitration at a venue chosen by us, conducted by an arbiter of our choosing, in which case you promise to lose regardless of outcome. If you disagree, please leave the site now but just know, by being here and reading this, you have already granted us this power and we've mostly already collected what we needed from you. Thank you. Stop wasting our bandwidth now. Fuck off!"
