_ache_··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731 Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis
I think, it's the end of Anthropic.

They can't compete, they have bills. By the end of the year, if they can't react, it's game over.

Maybe US clients could be a little patriotic here, but money is money. They won't give them free money forever.

_ache_··on Discovering Cryptographic Weaknesses with Claude
Note that HAWK-256 is also a simpler version of the proposed HAWK standard. But yeah, à priori it may apply to HAWK-512 too, so looks like a big found.

https://hawk-sign.info/

PS: Never heard of LEA, looks like a Korean cryptography standard equivalent to AES. I don't know what was the previous best attack on it. Maybe weak or strong depending on that, since it's an attack on chosen-text.

_ache_··on AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
And them, ... actually not an error. Server costs went up with AI needs, you know. The AWS incident is about inaccuracy, not "absurd values".

You gotta catch-up or die.

_ache_··on Bashblog – a single bash script to create blogs
I used to do that. Them move to a NodeJS script.

Because bash is maybe worst than C for this task.

_ache_··on Solving Wordle using information theory
Yeah, exactly. My girlfriend did it too, using information theory. In my solution, I did chose a word that minimized the size of the larger set of possible guesses. It's not strictly information theory, but it's a good approximation of finding 'the word that brings the most information [this turn]'.

I suspect that this researchers work involves formalizing and proving the optimality of their solution.

_ache_··on AI OSS tool repo goes archived over night after raising $7.3M Seed
And new Github profile too.

_ache_··on Notes on DeepSeek
Note that Qwen from Alibaba choose to align the model with the PCC. It's not a same as DeepSeek who ensure it at the "service" level.
_ache_··on Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]
Yet.
_ache_··on Show HN: Uruky (EU-based Kagi alternative) now has Image Search and URL Rewrites
"Google", for french speaking people, looks like "Gogol" which means "stupid" or "retarded".
_ache_··on The Website Specification
https://validator.w3.org/nu/?doc=https%3A%2F%2Fspecification...

I don't get the goal of the website. It's averted as a specification, but to spec what ?! Everything is sourced to another "source of truth".

_ache_··on Search engines alternatives now that Google isn't Google anymore
I'm on a self-hosted seaxng. It's great. I just need a computer up 24h/7d.

A VPS with without a black listed IP is good. A simple rootless container, update is easy.

Configuration takes little time, not much.

I still hate that I have to double the bang to use the same bang as DDG.

Example: "!!wde Ente" to go to the German wikipedia page about duck instead of "!wde Ente" with DDG.

_ache_··on GitHub is investigating unauthorized access to their internal repositories
What is the hell is muslims-of-github.tar.gz ?! I guess nebula is the new PRISM. What is `newly-packaged-malware` ?!

I'm sorry for Sophie.

_ache_··on India's hottest district shuts at 10 am as mercury breaches 48 C mark
Just an opinion. There is more AC in Asia and South Asia and more heat waves related deaths.

You number, approximately right but means nothing and the link AC => Less deaths by Heat Wave isn't supported by any fact.

Others factors like percent of the population > 70y, difference between usual temp / mean temperature in an heat wave and access to fresh and clean water should be more correlated than "AC implantation per hundred inhab".

_ache_··on India's hottest district shuts at 10 am as mercury breaches 48 C mark
Can't afford? It's not about that, it's cultural. AC is cheap.
_ache_··on Bitcoin trader recovers wallet with help of Claude
The compute power needed use to be of the order of 5s per password try. So it effectively mitigate brute force back them, you need a absurd compute power to crack them.

Moore law did its thing, now you can do it with a lot less computer power.

_ache_··on .de TLD offline due to DNSSEC?

_ache_··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
If someone doesn't want you to use AI on their repository, they state it. And if they want to "booby trap" (Antropic logic), them it's they right, you have been warned.

I can't see how you rights to use AI is prevalent on the right of anybody to write the string "OpenClaw" or any string forbidden by your AI provider.

Seriously, if the author hides it and trick your AI agent to check it, well maybe. But otherwise, it's not even a question.

_ache_··on Musk's AI told me people were coming to kill me (BBC)
You are missing the point. It's more about the connection made with the user who trust the AI. Think about all the elders that fall for the "kid abroad who need money". The connection is more important than the facts.

The problem is not (not only) that it told a 50 something guy someone is coming to kill him. The problem is the bond with the user.

Everyone is fallible; you just need to craft the right narrative. Obviously, been educated about what AI makes you less affected, ..., by AI only.

_ache_··on To Restore an Island Paradise, Add Fungi
Note: coauthor Toby Kiers received the Tyler Prize for Environmental Achievement of 2026. She also created SPUN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_the_Protection_of_...
_ache_··on Claude Code refuses requests or charges extra if your commits mention "OpenClaw"
I'm not leaving boody traps. I have the right to talk about OpenClaw or even to write the anti antropic string. I didn't delete you token usage or charge you extra boxes. Antropic did.

If tomorrow Antropic decide to charge you extra if you interact with someone who talked badly about them, I'm still in my right to talk shit about them.

_ache_··on The quiet resurgence of RF engineering
RF is radio frequency and EE is Electronic Engineer ?
_ache_··on Cal.diy: open-source community edition of cal.com
Yes, sadly. :(
_ache_··on Cal.diy: open-source community edition of cal.com
I just installed calrs, a recent alternative to cal.diy. It absolutely rocks! The only downside is that it requires me to activate STARTTLS as force-TLS-SMTP isn't supported (I had to check the source code). It’s young, very promising, and honestly, I don't know what I could ask for more.

I also replaced Radical with rustical, and I gained free push updates.

https://cal.rs/ and https://github.com/lennart-k/rustical

And if you wanna try it out. https://cal.ache.one/u/ache

_ache_··on Qwen3.6-Max-Preview: Smarter, Sharper, Still Evolving
I just try on Qwen3.5 local. « I cannot discuss such topics ». That is crazy.

But it's the law there. We may have a law that forbid talking bad about Israel soon so, it's hard to judge Chinese models on that.

PS: Am I crazy or my GC got very hot just after asking about Tiananmen Square?!!!

PPS: Reproducible. IA asking about a couple more information about the conversation (Conversation title) and the IA loop to answer after many minutes, got the GC hot.

_ache_··on How Big Tech wrote secrecy into EU law to hide data centres' environmental toll
A french article on the same subject, but paywalled.

_ache_··on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B: Agentic coding power, now open to all
The bicycle frame is ok. Simon's was better but at least it's not broken like Opus 4.7.

I can't comment that flamingo.

_ache_··on Internet Protocol Version 8 (IPv8)
> IPv8 does not require dual-stack operation.

The whole thing isn't a joke because of this. Technically, it's IPv4++ and that about it.

> Every manageable element in an IPv8 network is authorised via OAuth2 JWT tokens

What ?!

I'm not sure it's the path I want to follow.

_ache_··on C89cc.sh – standalone C89/ELF64 compiler in pure portable shell
I'm tempted to execute it, but it may as well be shellcode I couldn't tell.
_ache_··on Email obfuscation: What works in 2026?
I'm not denying that it happens. I'm saying that it not the classical way to spam people nowadays.

It's obvious to any non native english speaker, when you have a spam in english, it is because they toke the email from the web. When it's in you native language, it's usually from a data breach.

I'm vastly more spammed by the later. I can confirm it with unique email addresses of the "+" form (but not with the + character).

Also when I'm spammed in english, it's for Web3 crypto stuff and from a data breach it's a phishing attempt.

_ache_··on Email obfuscation: What works in 2026?
I'm sorry, but that is not how email address are spammed in bulk.

The data-source are the enormous data breach that are more and more frequent. There is more intensive to collect more information on someone you already know something about than spamming an email you don't even know if it's a valid one.

The spam can also be very more effective as it present itself with personal information about the spammed.
