cl0ckt0wer··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the contents of the repo sent up in the token stream eventually?
cl0ckt0wer··on 45°C cooling design cuts data center water use to near zero
Way more efficient, that's why they do it. Evaporating water carries an enormous amount of energy.
cl0ckt0wer··on The Global Fertility Crisis Is Worse Than You Probably Think
if you want a thing, pay for it.

the economics of childrearing aren't workable for most people without a huge cut to standard of living.

cl0ckt0wer··on Local AI needs to be the norm
There are local ai pods. They're like 2k for a low end.
cl0ckt0wer··on Local AI needs to be the norm
If they do then hardware costs will explode even more
cl0ckt0wer··on Task Paralysis and AI
AI has replaced video games for me. And there are plenty of cheaper models that "do it" for me, I don't have to spend $$$$ just for entertainment. I will step up to the frontier for serious work. But if I'm just playing, I'm going for the free stuff on openrouter.

Also, ai art is fine. It looks better than me using paint. That said, there are plenty of foss art pieces and public domain that you can leverage if all you really need is placeholders, and that is much cheaper.

cl0ckt0wer··on LLMs consistently pick resumes they generate over ones by humans or other models
The only resumes that make it past the ai to a human are ai generated
cl0ckt0wer··on Ukraine's drone commander has Russian oil, troops and morale in his sights
So is he exaggerating or understating their capabilities? I'm surprised they'd disclose their capabilities.
cl0ckt0wer··on OpenClaw isn't fooling me. I remember MS-DOS
Mostly it's fun. It'll so some light infra management for me too.

It'd be great to know if this is Mythos'
cl0ckt0wer··on What we learned building 100 API integrations with OpenCode
There are lots of APIs with poor or nonexistent documentation. I'm talking about internal systems where one programmer that kinda knew what he was doing built a proof of concept, and now it's a core business requirement.
cl0ckt0wer··on Lemonade by AMD: a fast and open source local LLM server using GPU and NPU
the npu is more for power efficiency when on battery. I don't think it's a replacement for gpu.
cl0ckt0wer··on TurboQuant KV Compression and SSD Expert Streaming for M5 Pro and IOS
llm intelligence seems to be proportional to the ram used. All techniques like this will be used by everyone.
cl0ckt0wer··on I quit. The clankers won
Just because they invented cars doesn't mean you stop jogging.
cl0ckt0wer··on Fedware: Government apps that spy harder than the apps they ban
They've pivoted to good news. It's more absurd.

cl0ckt0wer··on No one is happy with NASA's new idea for private space stations
It's liability laundering. If an openclaw blackmails a politician while hosted in space, what's the legal recourse?
cl0ckt0wer··on The 'paperwork flood': How I drowned a bureaucrat before dinner
The fax machine we had in the office would convert the incoming faxes to email for us. Maybe that's a security violation for them but I find it difficult to believe they don't have some sort of all digital receipt system
cl0ckt0wer··on GitHub appears to be struggling with measly three nines availability
Cheap, fast, and good. I see which two they chose.

The subtext here is that XML is a powerful tool when generating code with LLMs
cl0ckt0wer··on How we hacked McKinsey's AI platform
For instance, what would we need to start offering siracha in our burger?
cl0ckt0wer··on Some Words on WigglyPaint
With the amount of piracy that went on with the early 2000's videogames (doom!) I'm surprised anyone made money.
cl0ckt0wer··on Some Words on WigglyPaint
(it's never gone anywhere )
cl0ckt0wer··on Some Words on WigglyPaint
Yeah, I have a few domains that I keep around for these type of projects. If it doesn't go anywhere I just reuse it.
cl0ckt0wer··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
Oh look a flock competitor
cl0ckt0wer··on In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5%
individuals should be able to take advantage of the same tax rules as corporations.
cl0ckt0wer··on Firefox 148 Launches with AI Kill Switch Feature and More Enhancements
Firefox already captured the developer audience, and it wasn't enough. So they pivoted to whatever they thought of to increase mainstream adoption. That is really alienating that developer audience though.
cl0ckt0wer··on Ministry of Justice orders deletion of the UK's largest court reporting database
bureaucratic empire-defending is nefarious.
cl0ckt0wer··on Cache Monet
I can rock out to that all day
