I checked, and I do have the 4GB file on my system.

The “Local AI” toggle is enabled. Chrome never asked for my consent to enable it.

The 4GB file is located in C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\OptGuideOnDeviceModel\2025.8.8.1141

It worked! https://imgur.com/a/SOfiRhv

Thanks, will check it out tomorrow.

Hope the unsloth-setup.exe > Windows App is coming soon! I think it will expand accessibility and user base.

Hey, I tried to use Unsloth to run Gemma 4 locally but got stuck during the setup on Windows 11.

At some point it asked me to create a password, and right after that it threw an error. Here’s a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/sCMmqht

This happened after running the PowerShell setup, where it installed several things like NVIDIA components, VS Code, and Python. At the end, PowerShell tell me to open a http://localhost URL in my browser, and that’s where I was prompted to set the password before it failed.

Also, I noticed that an Unsloth icon was added to my desktop, but when I click it, nothing happens.

For context, I’m not a developer and I had never used PowerShell before. Some of the steps were a bit intimidating and I wasn’t fully sure what I was approving when clicking through.

The overall experience felt a bit rough for my level. It would be great if this could be packaged as a simple .exe or a standalone app instead of going through terminal and browser steps.

Are there any plans to make something like that?

I read several articles about this today, and surprisingly, found this video more clear and easy to understand what is the situation https://youtu.be/-WF34Sgq76c

LM Studio user here. Unsloth looks great, wanted to check it out, but there is no app file to download and install? Sorry I'm not familiar with the command line.

About pricing [1]:

> What are the pricing plans?

> Office EU will offer simple plans for individuals and teams. Pricing will be competitive and designed to be easy to understand. We will publish full plan details closer to launch.

> Will there be a free plan?

> A free plan is planned after launch. It will be a good way to try Office EU before committing. Exact limits and features will be shared when it is ready.

And Chromebooks aren't only a web browser, are only an Android web browser.

I used one and it has the android play store to install apps, thank god FF at least supports extensions, but many apps lack features of the desktop counterparts, the layouts are designed only for mobile and on desktop looks terrible (including FF android).

Yes, I was confused as well. The current Hacker News title is “Ceno, browse the web without internet access”, but on the official site the headline/<title> reads “Ceno Browser | Share the Web!”.

That mismatch is likely what is causing the confusion. The HN title probably should be updated to reflect the current title used on the site.

Another possibility is that the original title actually was “browse the web without internet access” and the developers later changed the site headline after the post was submitted to HN.

As someone not from the U.S., this thread confused me at first and I had to look it up.

What tripped me up is that sriracha is the name of a type of sauce, not a trademarked brand. It’s similar to how many companies can make “ketchup”. In contrast, Tabasco Sauce is a registered brand, so only one company can sell a sauce called Tabasco.

Because of that, several companies produce sriracha. The one most people associate with the name in the U.S. is Huy Fong Foods (the “rooster” bottle, often simply called Sriracha). But it’s just one brand among many, like Underwood Ranches Sriracha (made by the former pepper supplier mentioned in the story).

So when the OP says “the Sriracha guys screwed over their supplier”, they are talking specifically about Huy Fong, not the sauce style itself.

Besides the issues of the OP approach that many point out on this thread, I also want to point out that the ZIP code input on the example, doesn't have the type=number so my mobile keyboard opens with the whole keys instead of the numeric keyboard, in this case that ZIP codes are only numbers, the type=number will improve accessibility.

After the Paramount & Warner merger it will be good if they launch a Criterion Collection type of thing with the outstanding back catalog, going in the other direction of streaming, and producing and selling good quality Blu ray hardware. In my dreams of course.

Yes, and I think this case gets somewhat more notoriety because the phishing site has the .com domain and the legitimate one has a .org.

Like it or not, .com adds perceived trustworthiness and works as a branding signal, especially in these times of VCs throwing large amounts of money at branding and buying 3 to 6 letter .com domains, but a small project like 7zip cannot afford that kind of expense.

A great complement to that article is the Team Deakins podcast, where Roger Deakins and James Deakins talk about cinematography, filmmaking and the business of film.

There actually is a concrete reference for the Windows 95 era research. Microsoft published detailed results from their usability work in the mid-90s, including task based testing with real users, error analysis, and iterative design changes.
