KeplerBoy··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
We have much more than 15 more years of temperature rises to come. It's not like we reached net zero in 2026 or have a plausible plan to reach that anytime soon. Net zero is probably another few decades away.
KeplerBoy··on DeepInfer: High-performance inference framework for DeepSeek models
Ah, yes. I should have done the math before asking.

Isn't electricity a pretty major factor even over such a short fraction of the hardware's lifetime?
KeplerBoy··on CERN and Mistral sign a statement of intent to establish a strategic partnership
You needed approval to try different methods for data analysis?
KeplerBoy··on Tesla Roadster
You can do a lot with a few megawatts of power for a few seconds.
KeplerBoy··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
That's still all trivial arithmetic and basic discipline assuming you have enough money to cover all your basic needs.
KeplerBoy··on Gemini 4 Argon
That of course depends on what you want the model to do. If you are into artistic SVG rendering, it's still very relevant.
KeplerBoy··on Vibe coded browser ports of Halo, The Simpsons: Hit And Run, GTA work well
Meh, that does nothing for me. Yes, the game seems quite detailed but that's neither especially impressive from a technical standpoint nor interesting from a gameplay perspective.
KeplerBoy··on Vibe coded browser ports of Halo, The Simpsons: Hit And Run, GTA work well
To be fair that was already the case before ai hit the scene: halo and GTA have relied on the same gameplay for over 20 years by now.
KeplerBoy··on Mistral Large 4
Fair enough, if the code could be promoted in the first place, what's the value anyways?

But coding/development is way more important. That's where the IP goes straight into the next training dataset.
KeplerBoy··on Run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B) on consumer hardware (RTX 4090) at 100T/s
How does it take fifteen minutes to read <100 GB into GPU memory? Shouldn't that be limited by SSD speed with everything slower than a minute being a terrible ssd?
KeplerBoy··on AI Makes Me Sad
That's the thing. There's no point in sharing most of the results anymore. When and if someone needs a version of this, they will likely need it to be slightly different. By then the model will have trained on your session and be a bit better in general.

They will just prompt their own version into existence without any obvious heritage to yours.

KeplerBoy··on The death of web development education
But isn't this (interactivity, animations) exactly the kind of stuff someone already familiar with a concept would turn to AI for yet another interactive visualization that might help develop intuition?

That's at least what I do. Sometimes it feels performative at best, other time I get genuinely new ideas by having a vague thought turn into a tweak able viz.

KeplerBoy··on Pi 1.0
You can use it with oai subscriptions
KeplerBoy··on Gemini 4 Argon
Why would they want this out the day after openai dev day and after both anthropic and openai had major releases the previous week?
KeplerBoy··on Gemini 4 Argon
It absolutely has auto mode.
KeplerBoy··on Gemini 4 Argon
How else would it work? Less technical people don't even watch their context usage.
KeplerBoy··on PS5 Relapse Exploit
They should be angry at sony? wtf?

It's literally their job to keep their consoles safe, this is not just about piracy. A vulnerable console could do all kinds of stuff users don't want.

Then also piracy: The game industry is already struggling, good luck explaining that one of the rare non live service offline single player games (after all those are the games most hurt by piracy), which has been in development for years, didn't sell because you left a disclosed exploit wide open and now everyone loses their jobs.

KeplerBoy··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
It's still insane that they stopped showing you all the tokens you pay for. They could inflate the billed reasoning token amount by a lot before it would raise any eyebrows.
KeplerBoy··on ESP32S3 cluster running 1.58-bit (BitNet) Language model
Change the year 3000 to the 2030s and it might be just as accurate.
KeplerBoy··on World Labs Is Joining AMD
Gaussian splatting is the rendering technique of projecting the gaussians into the 2D viewport. How you obtain the gaussians in the first place is a different question (feed forward prediction vs. iterative gradient descent fitting).
KeplerBoy··on The problem is not the AI code, but nobody knows anything anymore
It solved coding as in it's significantly less of a bottleneck than it was before.

At least that's how I experience it. In the before times each non-trivial code change had a real opportunity cost as it would easily consume two days until I could even estimate whether this is worth looking deeper into.

KeplerBoy··on 16GB iPod Nano 3G Upgrade
Yes, you're probably right. Ipod nanos already started from ~150$ 20 years ago.
KeplerBoy··on 16GB iPod Nano 3G Upgrade
That would at the very least have to have Bluetooth (and at that point they might as well add wifi, since that is more or less the same modem).

That would make a damn nice 149$ apple music machine, slap some stripped down firmware on it, so they can argue why it only supports apple music streaming.

KeplerBoy··on Platform-Independent SIMD in Go
Does matlab these days do stuff like JIT operator fusing to avoid memory roundtrips and take advantage of FMAs?
KeplerBoy··on VSCode's SSH Agent Is Bananas (2025)
off topic, but I feel this observation was quite early in feb' 2025: "LLM-generated code is useful in the general case if you know what you’re doing. But it’s ultra-useful if you can close the loop between the LLM and the execution environment (with an “Agent” setup)."

kudos

KeplerBoy··on Claude Opus 5.5
With the pi harness it just opens the browser (or gives you a link if you're on headless) and you sign on as usual.

Anything else would be inconsistent, wouldn't it?
KeplerBoy··on Qwen Image 2.1
True, but my pockets aren't deep enough to be the one who wants to figure that out in court.
