_ache_··on Open models by OpenAI
To be fair, it's with the help of OpenAI. They did it together, before the official release.

_ache_··on Show HN: Wordle-style game for Fermi questions
Can't play the game. My local use space ' ' as a hundred separator.

So, I any guess above 1 000 is truncated. 1 000 is 1.

_ache_··on Asciinema: Record and share your terminal sessions
svg-term-cli I think. I found a post talking about it not long ago.

_ache_··on A valid HTML zip bomb
What is `data` ? "maximum data size (KB)". Is `address space limit (KB)` virtual or physical ?

What is maximum filesize in a context of a process ?! I mean what happens if a file is bigger ? Maybe it can't write bigger file than that, maybe it can't execute file bigger than that.

I have a bunch of questions.

_ache_··on A valid HTML zip bomb
Nice command line.
_ache_··on A valid HTML zip bomb
Usually in /etc/limits.conf. The field `as` for address space will be my guess, but I not sure, maybe `data`. The man page `man limits.conf` isn't very descriptive.

Perhaps you have very generous limits on RAM allocation per thread. I have 32GB, 128 with swap and still crash (silently on Firefox and with a dedicated screen on Chrome).
_ache_··on A valid HTML zip bomb
There is definitively improvements that can be made. The comment part is more about aesthetic as it is not needed actually, you could have just put the zip chunk in a `div`, I guess.
_ache_··on A valid HTML zip bomb
Thank you very much!

I was looking in the blog post, and no I through "No, I spelled it right". God! It was in my presentation. >_<"

_ache_··on How to run an Arduino for years on a battery (2021)
There is an obvious mistake in the include.

     #include <JeeLib.h;>
And the library doesn't seems well documented and rather shady actually.

What is the casino thing ? It looks like an abandoned project that got web squatted / Brandjacked.

_ache_··on “I noticed a clear violation of our contributing guidelines”
The comments of coderabbitai are ... well.

    +  const safeToken = typeof token === "string" && token.length > 0 && token.length < 256 ? token : "";
Of arguable quality I would say. The length size limit is arbitrary and the > 0 is ridiculous.
_ache_··on Death by AI
Can you please re-consult a physician? I just check on ChatGPT, I'm pretty confident you are dead.
_ache_··on lsr: ls with io_uring
Why doesn't it scale ? I'm really interested in n=100.000 and n=1.000.000.

eza could catch up with lsr. Why is n=1.000 so slow with lsr ? Does io_uring add so much overhead ?

_ache_··on Faking a JPEG
Is it a problem through ? I'm pretty sure that any check is on the weight of the PNG, not the actual dimension of the image.

PNG doesn't have size limitation on the image dimensions (4bytes each). So I bet you can break at least one scrap bot with that.

_ache_··on A new, faster DeepSeek R1-0528 variant appears from German lab
Is 200% a way to say *3 quicker ? The little 10% reasoning performance decrease seems worth it.
_ache_··on Autonomous drone defeats human champions in racing first
Nearly two years from comparable to human to beat the best.

_ache_··on Ask HN: Has anybody built search on top of Anna's Archive?
To manage the legal issues, you just have to put AI on the search. "AI search".
_ache_··on $20K Bounty Offered for Optimizing Rust Code in Rav1d AV1 Decoder
Absolutely. If you don't know dav1d, it's easy to overlook the complexity here.

There is a reason for this sentence: > « The dav1d and rav1d decoders share the exact same low-level assembly code optimizations—you cannot modify this assembly ».

So, it, kind of, makes the work easier, but it stills very complex I think.

_ache_··on Bosses weren't being paranoid: Remote workers more likely to start their own biz
Objectively, this article is bullshit. What is the source ? An unidentified "data partner".

That just means, this is non-reproducible. So this is not science. Actually, there is a another paper, reproducible, it's non conclusive.

The social explanation of the phenomena (if there is any) are clearly politically oriented.

_ache_··on The language brain matters more for learning programming than the math brain
Yes, nobody doubt about that. The article is about programming, which, even if it requires some math skills, require more an ability to deal with a language system.
_ache_··on The language brain matters more for learning programming than the math brain
That is now obvious, any LLM is able to code, and is usually very bad at math. This alone proves that a good part of programming is linked to language not math.

Even if CS is sort of applied mathematics.

_ache_··on Should We Respect LLMs? A Study on Influence of Prompt Politeness on Performance
No, f* them.

Seriously, it feels really weird to thanks a LLM. Like, did you ever thanks `sed`, `bash` or `firefox`? What's the difference?

My respect is precious and meaningful, and just as I don't give it to a CLI or an OS, I won't give it to an LLM.

It feels like a disrespect to every people I respect to also respect a machine. That doesn't mean I have to be rude though, as in my first sentence.

_ache_··on Writing my own dithering algorithm in Racket
Nice ! Thank you for the link! :)
_ache_··on Writing my own dithering algorithm in Racket
I did the same like 2 weeks ago. In Rust. ^^

I'm still trying to improve it a little. https://git.ache.one/dither/tree/?h=%f0%9f%aa%b5

I didn't published it because it's hard to actually put dithered images on the web, you can't resize a dithered image. So on the web, you have to dither it on the fly. It's why, in the article, there is some artifacts in the images. I still need to learn about dithering.

Reference: https://sheep.horse/2022/12/pixel_accurate_atkinson_ditherin...

_ache_··on France rejects backdoor mandate
What is an occupant ?

There used to be a increase of crime but it was because of what the law counts as a crime. And no, non-lethal crime didn't increase so it is not about medicine that is getting better.

_ache_··on France rejects backdoor mandate
Yes, but inmate population is mostly immigrant descendants (for various reasons, poverty and been unable to work are the main ones).
_ache_··on France rejects backdoor mandate
> I haven't check other stats but what if your views on crime are being manipulated by people who have agenda that normally wouldn't be possible if the true reason was revealed?

That is a known fact. Criminality rate drops but french people are feeling more and more insecure.

There is a media oligarchy in France (by billionaires) that pushes anything but left ideas (the left want an exit tax and a wealth tax, the last one is the Zucman tax). The idea that immigrants are criminals is easy to spread as the prison population is clearly different than the mean population of France (for various reasons). They are pushing it so hard that the population is feeling insecure even if the criminality rate drops.

_ache_··on The Last Drops of Mexico City
Ok, so nobody seam to talk about the privatisation of water in Mexico.

It is at the root of the problem. Coca Cola is the most known absurd operator of this industry. National water is too cheap and used by private company for nearly nothing. Vicente Fox was a president of Coca Cola company in Mexico before becoming the president of Mexico, you can guess the « colonisation » was easier by that. (Coca Cola isn't alone, it is just the most known, Danone, the French company is also plundering Mexico water for example, AI datacenter too, ...).

Coca cola is known to be responsible for the drying of Monterrey and San Cristobal de Las Casas.

_ache_··on Launching RDAP; sunsetting WHOIS
If you job is to be a referent, to have authority. You absolutely don't want to make any error. Pretty safe isn't enough, you need to be absolutely sure that you control the output.

You only have one job, don't delegate authority.

_ache_··on Building a Personal Archive with Hoarder
No really the same goal. In Hoarder, the goal is to tag and make content easily searchable. The cached part is a plus, not the main goal.

Actually, it's good but not an cached archive, its a just a cached zen mode version of the webpage (or full file if it is a PDF, EPUB, ...).
