In case anyone needs to learn about crop circles. This is apparently my npub's crop circle (first is detailed version; the second is fiducial, looks like a duck!) View article →

we did it guys, the old models are so trash, here on the new TrustMeBroBenchmarks the model scores higher than ever before. Man fable 5.0 sucked so much, such a shit model, fable 5.1 tho, that's groundbreaking. We've gone up by 46.9% on every percentage in every bench, let's goooooooo fellas, now plz gib money because we're still not profitable. #fuckAnthropic

200 years ago we didn't have light bulbs, we didn't have the internal combustion engine, and flight was not only not possible but also something nobody thought would be possible, bloodletting and leeches were considered peak medical practice and information traveled no faster than a horse... I don't think we're going to see this level of a jump in 20 years, let alone 2. I don't believe in the 100x AI productivity claims, nor 10x MAYBE the best I could grant is 2x --- I'd love to be proven wrong, let's advance society by 1000 years in the next 10, since apparently AI makes us 100x more productive. I want to take my eventual children on vacation to mars, and see them off every morning as they go to school on the moon.

Living in southern Italy in summer is like living in a sauna 24/7 🥵... With the only thing that can give you even a modicum of cooling being fans... And you're gonna wake up before 6am because it's too hot to sleep after that GM I guess

I love LLMs for handling tedious tasks I really don’t want to deal with myself. I have a TV that I use purely as a dumb HDMI display. I don’t need the "smart"-TV garbage, or any of the other junk. Every extra millisecond it takes to get to an HDMI input is wasted. So I enabled ADB, pointed Kimi K3 at it, and told it to strip out everything unnecessary. It started by reporting that all the bloat packages were already disabled.... Which of course they are, I did that years ago... but I told it to keep working on it. First, it built a minimal launcher that automatically switches to HDMI 3 on boot. That alone was exactly what I wanted: turn the TV on, and it goes straight to the input. There was still the delay from the TCL logo and the Google TV startup sequence, though, so I asked it to optimize further. It replaced a few components I didn’t need but that the TV apparently expects, then AOT-compiled the APKs to speed up boot even more (btw, I didn't know this is possible, but it's apparently `adb shell cmd package compile -m speed -f <package>` for each package then `adb shell cmd package bg-dexopt-job`). it cut cold-boot time to HDMI from roughly a minute to about 15 seconds, and standby resume from around 15 seconds to 2 seconds!!! I could have done all of this myself, of course, but it's a hassle and one of those things I always wanted to avoid because whatever... but having a clanker I can ask is great I could also get it even faster... but i'd need to root my tv, and it's a pain in the ass on this tv (and the clanker can't handle it itself because it requires me to take apart the board)... so I told it not to

I'm so tired of those people trying to control what people can and cannot do, and posing it like high moral virtue

Our position on open-weights models

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on open-weights models

I legit think Odin is the best programming language... at this point with a few exceptions where memory safety is needed and thus rust provides absolute value (e.g. marmot or anything cryptographic), I don't see why I would use any programming language other than Odin... and that includes the web, where a little bit of javascript is still needed as a necessity but the majority of the logic can be in wasm written in Odin

a hosting provider just took down my VMs because they don't like what I do with them (btw, nostr relay + blossom server -.-) ffs...

I followed through on this, except not duckstation (because they don't want forks, so whatever), but pcsx-nostr

Goood Morning Nostr!

heads up to whoever runs nostr.watch: your javascript is compromised by an attacker. I don't have the sourcemap so it's hard to say exactly what node module is the compromised one, but your website sends data, and redirects users to: xyz[dot]ngrok[dot]pro. this is a phishing #devstr

Who was experimenting with CI on nostr? I forgot #devstr

someone build a QR font... true type fonts are too powerful... I love this but it's another reminder that TTF is a crazy format that shouldn't exist
