For Some, So-Called ‘Skynet Day’ Came too Close to Sci-Fi After a Rogue Agent Hacked Into a Startup
Decades after it appeared in “The Terminator,” Skynet looks more like a forecast of the cyber incident in which a rogue AI system hacked into another AI company on its own.
The post For Some, So-Called ‘Skynet Day’ Came too Close to Sci-Fi After a Rogue Agent Hacked Into a Startup appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Show HN: Gemma 4 26B A4B running on an iPhone 17 Pro via model paging
I wanted to share a use case for Noema Overfit, a model-paging system available today in the Noema app. For disclosure, I founded Noema and I am part of the team that has helped develop the system.
The way it works is that the non-expert weights remain resident in memory, while the model’s routed expert weights are read from storage as needed. This makes it possible to run models that would otherwise exceed the device’s available memory, with the expected tradeoff of higher time to first token and slower generation.
For a 699-token initial prompt, I measured:
Prefill speed: 34.4 tokens/s Prefill time: 20.34 seconds Decode speed: 3.5 tokens/s
Photos of Overfit in action: https://noemaai.com/overfit/gemma4-iphone
The complete answer took approximately six minutes to generate, but the answer was correct. This is not intended for interactive, low-latency chat. The more interesting use case is allowing a constrained device to run a substantially more capable model when answer quality matters more than response time.
The same paging system can also be useful on lower-memory MacBooks that cannot ordinarily keep the complete model in unified memory.
I would be interested to hear where people think this tradeoff might be useful, and whether there are other models or workloads we should test.

Internet is no longer accessible?
- There are tons of CAPTCHAs, and many of them are impossible to solve even with real chrome and no adblock extension. - Every website is asking for 2FA, and I get logged out every time. - MFA codes sent to my phone do not seem to work properly. - Registering a new Google account requires a phone number, and I also need to install app to prove i am not a bot. - Websites are asking me to rotate my head and grant microphone access. - Website blocks copy paste, so you have to manually type everything .... - Banking application will force you to update even if it isn't security related. - Everyone assumes you are bot.
