After I see a tool solving a problem for me, I'm no longer willing to persist in solving that solved problem, yeah, about right.

Also: TIL that clocks, watches, screens with time, etc are so rare in my photos, despite being seemingly ubiquitous in the modern world. Especially trustworthy accurate ones. Literal couple dozen accidentally shot over the decade and most of the clocks are awful. Need to take more photos of a phone

Was watching my photo archive to make this model and everything looks so pleasant and nostalgic and I wonder why. Then it occurred to me that my photos show me only me, my family, my friends, my world and none of the then current moment nonsense, no online, no news, no worries.

oof, all the meta-complaining about the other people complaining about something I haven't even experienced myself. now, this post is meta-meta-complaining and make stuff even worse?

pretty remarkable how quickly disinformation haters becomes disinformation creators, distributors, and enjoyers just cause the subject is %their special interest%

still not coming close to the OG ai hater suggestions but his vision seem to materialize bit by bit, hope he's happy

you can short-circuit 99% of people by asking them to explain their epistemology (even if you would use a simpler words to explain the concept of epistemology first). Well, may be even 99.9%.

type shit...

fat, sugar, msg, acid, salt, pepper, garlic, crunch: your basic universal haute cuisine

I know why productivity hasn't skyrocketed with all these coding agents around

why is 4B model have size 9GB at 8 bit quantization? Google is cheating and nobody is calling them out

Noticed that running agents is funny for the owner but completely boring and dumb for the outside observer. Just as it is the case with AI generated images and music -- the fun is in the process itself, not in the results.

to be fair to Gemma models: Gemma 4 26B and 31B are doing unexpectedly well on that test, like better than anything else besides Gemini. You just need to select low reasoning and high input resolution and maybe do a couple tries.

imagine being AI hater and trying latest and greatest freshly open sourced best small local model

it's a pity to watch these people suffering from trying to rationalize why increasingly obviously useful and great technology is still "bad" because they are pre-committed to that point of view earlier for number of reasons.

"world", looks inside: China 71% of wind, 55% of solar. Given an exponential rise, it's amazingly close to adding 1TW of capacity every year in China alone. Mind-blowing figures

Jokes on you, in Soviet Russia we actually sold beer in plastic bags. Actually, it was tap beer poured into a plastic bag :)

we need to extend git blame to the original question user entered in codex/claude code/whatever. I just want to know if this shit is an accidental stuff AI produced there or it was part of the original intent by author.

VOD is such a strange term in our day. Do we even have videos not on demand anymore? I definitely not watching them

Great feature of bluesky of marking ai bots (in different ways) makes it easy to mute them all. I wonder if it will make me out of touch later when they will be much more intelligent and start to produce original thoughts.

if only we had some web of trust, certificate signing infrastructure, maybe even page ranking algorithm to calculate weight/reputation of every site? no, sounds like too much work and unbelievable level of coordination

кто о чём а вшивый о бане i.e. 404media about porn

Made a quick modelling tool for various scenarios, including different length of closure, substitution effects strengths and so on, all assumptions are stated and configurable. Effects calculated and visualized by country chatgpt.com/canvas/share... (assumptions from chatgpt.com/share/69c11d...)

A lot of dramatic takes 🥱 A large % of installed base times a large % of a total demand time a large % of being stockpiled time a large % of agricultural production being bio-fuels and feed stock gives a small % of the food you actually eat.

This changes things materially!

what would that print?

and run that stuff from PIM (processing-in-memory) capable RAM

I wonder if they have API, I would replace the translation engine in my social media translate extension

Isn't it strange that people always say "well, Python is good enough as a glue for C code and stuff and anyway it is fast enough when you are doing i/o stuff" and then Rust guys come and it turns out that doing i/o stuff with Rust is still much faster? Yes it is a post about uv

I should write a library that does only one thing: reliably brings CUDA libraries and deliver them to your app, no matter what is your system, in what bizzare misconfigured state is it and if the civilization as we know it still exist

kagi is having a viral moment by doing the thing we wall asked chatgpt 3.5 to do back in Nov 2022? Translating between different language styles? Either lol or we are bound to have annual memetic refreshes

Was doing some actual programming and skipped two full days of social media. Feels strange

found the cursediest datetime format ever

New blog post from @apenwarr.ca 2.5 years crazy to contemplate? Come on, we routinely see the next level too, take a look at C++ modules or California's HSR

that's fascinating on so many levels www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTFn...

thanks youtube, I really, really, really don't think there exist videos on your platform that are more relevant and current than 12 years old live stream (actually almost 13 yo but who counts)

first time I even heard about that thing that is the same thing as the other similar thing but in preview and that preview thing already has legacy SDK? this is what singularity is supposed to look like?

Was reading a post about Python optimization and suddenly realized that we (humanity) are gradient descent optimizers and so often stuck in a local minima, chipping away at problems that were created by climbing a wrong hill long long time ago. How much effort spent optimizing stuff like that?

nano banana infographics were interesting novelty, for about a week and now I can't shake the feeling that they are everywhere, you can just see when image was made with it, like orange piss filter. Interesting how all AI stuff read, look and feel the same despite having potential being so different

VFX teams struggling with keying stuff, cleaning green spills, etc and we now have generic neural networks that can just separate anything from anything, why even shoot stuff on a green screen and deal with its problems in the first place?

ios being bug free (or even bug less) is the biggest lie ever. where else most basic system settings are regularly broken? like, out of the blue keyboard started to vibrate on touch with haptics disabled everywhere. of course any tech person knows that you just have to turn it on and off again.

hell yeah, thank you codex and opus, finally I can set language selection logic once and for all without waiting for Google to ever notice us, multilingual people

what would it take to make a pc with zero visual glitches and stutters? we have machines so powerful it's unbelievable but they are still constantly stutter and freeze and miss the bits. I wonder if developers wore explosive necklaces à la Trantor that were set to blow an instant any frame dropped

Google dev: How many ultra upsells do you want? Gemini PM: Yes

windows probably need drivers for printers for the same reasons it was forced to make a version without media player. If microsoft wanted, it could just make a universal printer driver and force everyone one the planet to adopt it. We'll call that monopoly power or something and kick them for that

Thai internet becoming worse by the day (idk for what reason), vpn to singapore instantly helps, except now you can't use half of the AI tools because you're a dangerous hacker in the eyes of the corporations

the beauty of that site: recursive mute (I foolishly clicked show and in the end it was as bad as I expected)

oh, yeah, I should've gone to sleep an hour ago, instead this song is blasting on repeat

I need to internalize that you just design and order such things whenever you like

what if we recreated CLI but with care of the GUI systems have? like not just reimplement all the cruft from punch cards up to render on a GPU but made a modern event driven console with two way interaction, mouse support and stuff? why nobody is doing that even on new experimental system?
