KTibow··on Everything you say to your Echo will be sent to Amazon starting on March 28
It sounds like newer devices had a Do Not Send Voice Recordings option that transcribed and processed queries locally.
KTibow··on Show HN: Krep a High-Performance String Search Utility Written in C
The site being made by AI explains some of it.
KTibow··on uBlock Origin Forcefully Removed by Chrome
> inspect to undisable it

To be clear, this is to reinstall it if you accidentally uninstalled it. Keeping it enabled is easier but still follows a dark pattern.

KTibow··on Enhancing Frame Detection with Retrieval Augmented Generation
It might not directly learn it, but it could still identify it if it's quoted by others or if there's enough text of the same style with the author's name as context.
KTibow··on Show HN: pdfdark.com – view pdf's in "dark mode" all on client
It's unfortunate that this isn't a default option. The only viewer I've seen that happens to be able to do this is Gnome's Document Viewer.
KTibow··on Crossing the uncanny valley of conversational voice
It's an 8B model. There's lots of room to grow.
KTibow··on Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
One thing I don't understand is why Claude 3.5 Haiku, a non thinking model in the non thinking section, says it has a 8192 thinking budget.
KTibow··on We are the builders
I don't know if it is AI generated, but the formatting (lists with bold text, unnecessary headers, lots of en and em dashes) is setting off my spidey senses.
KTibow··on OpenEuroLLM
Looks like they started work Feb 1 and haven't made anything yet.
KTibow··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
In fact, you can still use Svelte 4-style components with Svelte 5, even in the same project.
KTibow··on Grok3 Launch [video]
It's not much better than DeepSeek's old slogan "Unravel the mystery of AGI with curiosity. Answer the essential question with long-termism."
KTibow··on Watch R1 "think" with animated chains of thought
I tried this: https://github.com/KTibow/thoughtgraph
KTibow··on Watch R1 "think" with animated chains of thought
I wonder if you could turn it into a graph by adding connections between the two most similar entries until everything is connected.
KTibow··on Is ChatGPT autocomplete bad UX/UI?
They experimented with music back in 2020 [0]. I suppose they didn't continue because the risk (work, training, possibly getting sued) is greater than the reward (splitting the market with Suno).

KTibow··on Is ChatGPT autocomplete bad UX/UI?
It's a relatively recent addition and only appears if you stop typing when you're only a few words in
KTibow··on Uchū · the color scheme for internet lovers
What color space does it use when generating the brightness variations?
KTibow··on Ask HN: What is the best method for turning a scanned book as a PDF into text?
Yes

(albeit I believe o3-mini isn't natively multimodal)

KTibow··on Show HN: I made my own OS from scratch because I was bored
fyi, you can automatically detect the user's language and switch to English when applicable by using `navigator.language`...

...or even better, don't use JS (which doesn't work on older browsers and prevents some optimizations), and read the Accept-Language header instead

KTibow··on I tasted Honda's spicy rodent-repelling tape and I will do it again (2021)
Checking with GLTR:

- 6 of the tokens were within the top 10 predictions - 8 of the tokens were in the #10-100 range - 3 of the tokens were in the #100-1000 range - 3 of the tokens weren't in any of the top 1000 predictions

KTibow··on Jacksonpollock.org (2003)
It seems the only thing that changes how covered a section is the speed you go over it with.

Checking the source, you could also use your keyboard (eg 0-9 is a grayscale palette).
KTibow··on VSCode’s SSH agent is bananas
Is that to say that the server can do things on the client connecting to the server? That doesn't make much sense.
KTibow··on Servo's progress in 2024
Ironic when it's faster than Java almost every other way.
KTibow··on Gemini 2.0 is now available to everyone
The increase is likely because 1.5 Flash was actually cheaper than all other STT services. I wrote about this a while ago at https://ktibow.github.io/blog/geminiaudio/.
KTibow··on Ask HN: How do you prompt the "advanced" models
You should only use reasoning models if your prompt needs reasoning (eg debugging a weird error or writing an optimized algorithm).
KTibow··on Show HN: Klarity – Open-source tool to analyze uncertainty/entropy in LLM output
Why does the example code use a base model to generate the analysis input?
KTibow··on Have Gemini stage and write commit messages for you
This doesn't let you include multiple files in a commit, right?
KTibow··on Bypass DeepSeek censorship by speaking in hex
I don't know how it wouldn't be - it can't retract things already sent to the client. (The alternative is to moderate every chunk server side before sending it back, like Gemini does.)
KTibow··on My failed attempt to shrink all NPM packages by 5%
Oh, I guess you would need something like dynamic imports to not include uncommonly used functionality in the main bundle

If you're making a serious website, alternatives include Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Deno Deploy, and Fly
