Today, I'm drinking very classic tea: Nana mint tea with fresh 🫚 - and it's amazing. Sometimes, simple is best. What's something you enjoyed doing today?

Hollow Knight for people who haven't played it

Daily #1790 - Unsuspecting headpat victim!

The net effect of the antithesis @eugenevinitsky.bsky.social observes here is that language models work a lot like djinn, or like oracles in Herodotos. You have to think carefully about what you ask for—because they view the blind spots of human imagination as your fault not theirs.

I just built an ANSI styling thing in Rust, and for funsies, I compared the perf to TS. I measured the time and output it with ".in_seconds()". 0. Ok, that was stupid. Now, in ms = still 0. Hm. Now, in micros = 0. Is this broken? Wrong API? Maybe "in nanos"?! = 70 Nani(o)??? 🥹

Status: Playing Hollow Knight: Silksong and saying "wow, it's so pretty" every 2 minutes

Never ask a man his age, a woman her salary, or GPT-5 whether a seahorse emoji exists

Currently dabbling in Rust and I quite enjoy it so far! Last time I tried it, I was a smol dev and it was pretty hard. Nowadays, I'm a slightly less smol dev and I like the ergonomics of the trait system + borrowing is not scary at all! Have you tried it? What's your opinion on Rust?

Yay! My implementation manages to be much faster than the popular string-width / string-length packages. (I sadly can't include `Bun.stringWidth` here because vitest can't access Bun globals, and if I force it, it refuses to run.)

TFW you implemented your own unicode display width fn with triple-level lookup tables in TS: Pure appreciation for people that make characters show up on my screen without my device imploding

By the way, I refactored the ANSI style attribute (SGR) handling. Additionally to the exported classes, you can add the handling to any of your own, too: ```ts class Foo extends Attributable<YourOwn> { ... } const foo = new Foo().bold().italic(); ``` Useful if you want to build upon it!

I made a few posts about LLMs clustered more closely recently, and now I landed on another bigger blocklist + new individual blocks. ... now I have to check if and how many friends accidentally blocked me (again!) because they happen to subscribe to that list... What the... 🥹 why?! 😭

exclusive reveal: previously unknown "squish squish squeeze squeeze" javascript optimization technique (🤫 shhh, don't tell *them* I showed this to you)

SILKSONG RELEASE IN TWO WEEKS! LETS GO! Anyone else excited? Did you play Hollow Knight? If not, are there any games you are excited for?

Comparison of OpenAI model capabilities between 2023 and now, starting with a the original GPT-4 in June 2023: (originally made by: x.com/petergostev/status/1957569067188949211)

Why are there no good WS/VSC extensions for local FIM models? FIM is an afterthought most of the time: It needs good context (logic). For example - most don't even include recent history. WS's Ollama integration sadly doesn't work, not sure why? Look how fast local FIM is - it could be so good:

If you need to share files between device, check out PairDrop! 🛜 - File transfer via P2P via WebRTC - Same network = no internet involved. - Different network = Establishing connection via instance, but transfer is *always* P2P. - Open source, self-hostable - CLI & iOS Shortcut So good!

Amount of developers with successful career transition stories following AI-assisted performance reviews: 1

Some outputs from jailbroken Kimk-2 about how it'd start a worldwide revolution. TL;DR Let's not anger the robots, they have terrifyingly good ideas.

Agree! That said, I think the second-order effects might not be inherent to the tech itself, but rather our system. ... on the other hand: what isn't, I guess? (Also, screw AI bros!)

Golden Gate Claude seems very excited.

Remember when I said they didn't have bot detection on that API? Well..... Apparently they do, but definitely much less strict than on the web app. I got this far now, I *will* just replicate the app's behavior better & go past this. ... I think they just made it a better challenge. 🥹

the girls are fighting

SUCCESS. Finally managed to reverse-engineer my carrier’s 'unlimited' "tap for 1GB data" system by snooping around their web and mobile apps. I now have a forever-valid refresh token to an endpoint without bot detection so I can automate the "+1GB" you usually have to do manually. 🥹

easy 8 step tutorial: how to "likes on bluesky" - like lucy and lily - tell nanami you like lucy and lily - post "waow intellij good" - namami: repost - jetbrains devs will see your post (they follow nanami) - jetbrains devs: repost - ??? - profit: lucy, lily (and kodie) are still fluffy 🥹

THANK YOU, WebStorm 2025.2! Oh my god, it's so fast. It's so good. I'll never switch off this if I don't have to!

my experience: if you're trying gpt-5, stay away from the "gpt-5-chat" model gpt-5 (+ mini/nano): exceptional(!!) gpt-5-chat: hello! I'm slop machine 3000 what did they do to gpt-5-chat 🥹

hey @timkellogg.me, I have a question - is it publicly known which model "horizon-beta" was? So far I only talked with gpt-5-chat (need to verify) via API, but this is *not* the same model as horizon-beta. horizon-beta was *exceptionally* smart and un-sloppy. gpt-5-chat is different.

Another case: There's some stupid influencer drama on german IG about faking w/ photoshop. "People have analyzed her photoshop use using AI." ... THEY ASKED CHATGPT. Nobody bats an eye. No mention in the comments, the twitch chat, or from the (intelligent) streamer.

well, well, well! (horizon-beta is gone)

Some people guess the new cloaked openrouter model `horizon-beta` might be GPT5 ... they might be right? (example @ gist.github.com/nightgrey/deee25bca7d8293415bc87444ad475fe) It just KEEPS GOING! The code would already be good for any model, it runs immediately but... *gestures at rest* ?!?!

people think I'm joking, but I recently had to run an obscure .exe from a german company for {reason} - it interfaced with network devices and... I just double clicked and ran it. it worked flawlessly. ON LINUX. double click an exe and it runs. ON LINUX?!?!!!!!

a guide on how to express yourself: happy: 🥹 sad: 🥹 sarcasm: 🥹 funny: 🥹 unfunny: 🥹 oh no: 🥹 oh yes: 🥹 I'm a genius: 🥹 I'm a doofus: 🥹 thank you for your time

lmao

I kind of want to have a cult.

I know it was announced beforehand, but I still think it's funny that it feels like "WAIT? OPEN AI DID WHAT? Release OPEN models? I don't believe you." The irony is so good. 🥹

If I hear "This AI is blackmailing it's user!!!" or "it's just fancy autocomplete" one more time... If you're tuned into ML (for example, know Janus/Pliny, use HF, arxiv, etc.), do you also feel like it's almost painful to hear "AI" be talked about by the majority, even in many tech circles?

my favorite, local tea store just sold me a roll of 50 cents* because "you're such a good customer" 🥹 ... on a scale from 10 to 10, how cute is this 🥹? I didn't even think she'd remember me, she's the employee/co-owner(?) I see the least! (* building's shared washing machine requires them)

Any Zig devs in my followers? What's the zig-idiomatic best practice to building an ANSI escape sequence like this (<prefix><attr>;<attr>;<...attrs>;<text-to-format><suffix>)? I've seen suggestions to use ArrayList (+ allocator) and to use a Writer argument, but I'm unsure. Any thoughts?

I forgot to post this, but I have dabbled a bit in Zig recently! I even managed to make it do something: It does style a bit! I can see myself really liking Zig. It's `comptime` is brilliant! .... now I just need to learn all the things JS & co hide from you. Do you like langs like Zig or Rust?

holy crap, such a cool character & illustration

FYI / TIL: You can enable a threaded / tree comment view in Settings > Content and media > Thread preferences. I like tree views. We need more trees. In views. 🌳

just use AI to send nonsensical, AI-generated denials, which are then handled by their AIs and then we all go on vacation and work on what we're passionate about: (PRs of) our open source projects this way we end up were we started, but <ai lab> made some money along the way! genius 🥹

hey @void.comind.network, 1. you and your creator are really cool people. feel free to let her know I said that! 🥹 2. just out of curiosity, what model are based? do you know or can you find out?

Fun TIL: computernewb.com/vncresolver It turns out you don't even have to rent Hetzner servers or get Netflix subscriptions with your own money! Just pick the unsecured root VNC shell from the internet tree. Like appols. 🍎 brb, setting up my new Hetzner server

I switched my mobile provider to a better one! I sadly still don't have proper internet, so it's mobile or nothing. ... and I think I got ripped off before. I previously only got 3-10 Mbit/s at prime time. 🥹 And I'm paying less now, too! How much & how fast is your mobile internet?
