akmarinov··on RIP, Harvest
They killed the free plan I used so i vibed a replacement and haven’t looked back.
akmarinov··on Can Democrats effectively abolish Electoral College after midterm wins?
Yeah that’s the idea - the one with the more votes gets the job
akmarinov··on The Valley Bubble Breaks
Electricity too
akmarinov··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
It is now, but what if Cybercab demands eclipses it?

Also Model Y/3 battery/charging is ancient at this point. It hasn’t had any meaningful improvements for 8 years now.

Look up a Model Y’s charging curve it’s horrible. There are cars out there with much more consistent ones, 400 kW charging, much more range etc etc

akmarinov··on Tesla winds down Cybertruck production after years of poor sales in few markets
Yeah the Roadster is never getting mass produced …

Also i wonder whether in 5-7 years Model 3 and Y will be around

Depending on RAM - it can run a big one veeeeeeeery slowly

We’re in the era of international stupid decisions, exhibit A - the US
akmarinov··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
Yeah but it’ll take some time to collectively decide that higher education no longer makes sense for people.

Just wondering whether it’ll be before money/jobs collapse or after.

akmarinov··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
No worries ~10 more years and it won’t make sense to educate people past a certain point anyway

It’ll be like you’re studying under Aristotle while AI is doing cold fusion next to you - incomprehensible on any level.

If we read the tweet - the TV then connects to whatever device it can like a home theater, other speakers and uses its microphone if it has one

Nice, thank you for your work, I contributed with a PR, to make it work on my CPU

I mean it’ll be pretty nice come winter

Half the token/s - sure, no way around beating big ass data centers.

Heat, noise and power consumption are actually quite ok - i'm running 2x3090s, capped at 250W and i haven't seen heat and noise being an issue, sitting right next to it. Might be helping that it's getting colder.

75% of the intelligence with 2x3090s, with a 5090 if you have it it's around 90% and these are first day builds too, typically people hone in and improve these all the time.

It's true local doesn't make sense value wise against online, but if you have the hardware, having "unlimited" tokens with no 5h limit, no weekly limit, is super nice.

akmarinov··on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 (Max)
You sure can, https://github.com/lxe/dsx gets you this deepseek on 2x3090s and 128 gb ram at about 30 t/s

At around 75% of the full model intelligence

akmarinov··on Fire at Starlink site in Bulgaria after suspected sabotage in Poland
Interestingly enough 4 ships in the past week were sunk in Bulgaria’s territorial waters by drones.

The Bulgarian PM has refused to name Russia responsible.

It does seem like they’re “testing the waters”, so to speak.

John Gruber is really at that “old man yells at cloud” stage.

His views on remote work, his constant nagging on the EU, while not a word on China and now this has really turned me off on the guy.

I seriously question his competence at this point.

akmarinov··on Ask HN: Why do people say "I built it" when we should say "Claude built it"?
I sit here and stare at Claude’s empty prompt, yet it doesn’t produce anything for me.

Maybe it can’t build something without an “I”?

akmarinov··on Starlink limit hits Ukraine's drones
The rest of the world doesn’t pick who rules over the US.

And the rest of the world pretty much can’t break away from the US due to financial, economical or even military reasons.

akmarinov··on Starlink limit hits Ukraine's drones
Unlikely, there’s nothing that can’t be magicked away by saying it’s AI. No one will believe any tape at this point. Certainly not his supporters.

It’s Trump’s financial interests plain and simple.

akmarinov··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
Subscriptions to play are cancer, if that business becomes the norm, it will kill games as they exist today

AI’s whole thing is that it’ll bring about socialism for all
akmarinov··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
That doesn’t matter one bit if you can’t run it on an iPhone

akmarinov··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
It already open sourced Claude Code, so maybe some day
akmarinov··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
Thankfully AI is killing that business in another manner - by raising GPU (and end user subscription) prices absurdly high
akmarinov··on PS5 Jailbreaks Are Escalating at an Unprecedented Pace
Yeah, all software will be open source software real soon, whether their owners like it or not.
