They are mostly dealing with the low hanging fruit actors, the current open source models are close enough to SOTA that there's not going to be any meaningful performance difference tbh. In other words it will stop script kiddies but make no real difference when it comes to the actual ones you have to worry about.
Kimi K2 could easily be used for this; its agentic benchmarks are similar to Claude's. And it's on-shore in China, where Anthropic says these threat actors were located.
Breaking the momentum and institutional adoption of homebrew is non-trivial but the developer community needs to band together unless we want to be slaves to Apple's whims forever. The current homebrew maintain Mike McQuaid clearly had no interest in listening to users.
Mike McQuaid has been doing this a long time and there are more egregious examples in the past. I got off the Homebrew train when Little Snitch caught Homebrew phoning home without my consent and the response from him was, the developers have already decided to implement telemetry in an opt-out fashion and any pushback to that already made decision is "abusive" to the maintainers.
The Homebrew maintainers are not trustworthy. Don't use their software. If a fork was going to be feasible, it already would have happened.
Unfortunately, requires root, no Intel mac, no reuse of the large brew manifest library... The first 3 opened issues capture the core deficiencies perfectly
Algorithmically there's nothing wrong with using BFS/DFS to do reasoning as long as the logic is correct and the search space is constrained sufficiently. The hard part has always been doing the constraining, which LLMs seem to be rather good at.
Most of commenters in this thread are overcomplicating things and have no experience with gray area industries. What you need is Turkey, the UAE and Dubai. The payment stack however can be Chinese/middle eastern/eastern European. This is a fairly standard play for people of your background, from there you can bootstrap and then ultimately leverage yourself into a new citizenship (most commonly Canadian and Australian, or other places with easier citizenship by investment routes).
You are asking technologists in an English speaking forum targeting the American centric world. You should be enquiring with friends in the nearby Islamic countries. None of the problems you have encountered are new or have no solutions for. As a suggestion, look up the payment providers used by Pornhub (they are blacklisted by Visa and Mastercard) and that is a good starting point for you. Also look at where a lot of crypto platforms incorporate. There is a whole world outside of the Delaware Corp + Stripe Atlas game, but you certainly won't learn that from silicon valley forums.
I strongly suggest you don't let desperation drive you into a poor deal or enter yourself into a disadvantageous partnership. Take some time off to clear your head, and talk to people. Don't let the whole "product led growth" US centric sales strategy cloud your business decisions. In the rest of the world, B2B is not limited to MasterCard/Visa and most of the notion/stripe style credit card driven SaaS don't necessarily exist in the same way. For your type of product, you should be charging more too.
Also most importantly, make sure your bank account is in the middle east and avoid dealing with USD under any circumstance. If you have a foreign bank account in a less friendly jurisdiction, an overzealous compliance department can easily shut down your entire business.
Don't confuse the greater geopolitics with business when it comes to the middle east. They are perfectly happy to work with small business people like OP.
If you ignore the pollution and environmental aspects, the main geopolitical reason is because the Straits of Malacca are very vulnerable in the event of a hot war and the overland pipelines from Russia and the middle east are insufficient to supply China. Getting rid of the oil dependency is the quickest way to autarchy. There are few other resources they can't produce themselves.
Op-amps are absolutely, 100% analog in every sense; there's no need to limit this assertion with the nonstandard adverb "technically". The term "analog" was invented in the first place specifically to describe circuits made out of op-amps rather than "digital" circuits. And, yes, you can totally balance the charge on your cells using op-amps and similar analog circuits. You will probably want some sharp PWM waveforms in the circuit, but PWM isn't all the way to digital.
I would question whether a PWM "technically" counts as digital... It is on and off, sure, but so is a mechanical power switch, which few would describe as digital. "Digital" is more when we get higher level values represented by multiple signals that are on or off (aka bits).
A mechanical power switch can certainly be digital; the Harvard Mark I digital computer was made entirely out of mechanical power switches, actuated by solenoids (so-called "relays"). It depends on how you use it—as you say, by combining multiple different bits, either simultaneously or serially.
I agree that a PWM signal is not really a digital signal, but it's kind of on the edge—for example, https://tinyurl.com/25y54mph is a simulation I designed of a completely analog PWM generator (a simulated LM324 op-amp, five transistors, 13 resistors, and a couple of caps), and several vendors offer better-designed versions of the same thing on an IC, but you can also get a perfectly adequate PWM signal out of a digital GPIO pin, and the PWM peripherals commonly included in microcontrollers are entirely digital.
True, but it's not really existential for them given that most of their profits are actually from AWS. The grocery and dropshipping business has thin margins.
