creativenolo··on DeepSeek R1 671B running on 2 M2 Ultras faster than reading speed
How is this split between two computers?
creativenolo··on DeepSeek releases Janus Pro, a text-to-image generator [pdf]
Exactly.

They release the weights so it can be fine tuned to censor/uncensor for your locale and preferences.

creativenolo··on Laid off for the first time in my career, and twice in one year
4 hours in the evening, nicely compartmentalised. If only. Where are the wake ups, the pickups & drops, the tidying, the admin, etc.

Isn’t it just DOM translated?
creativenolo··on Veo 2: Our video generation model
It was announced weeks ago.

50 cents per video. Far more when accounting for a cherrypick rate.

creativenolo··on What's up with Lobste.rs blocking the Brave browser?
I am with you and totally confused we are here discussing this.

Oh wait, every time I get a new computer I think you need to dismiss a couple of things. But _the rest of the time_ it is ad free browsing and watching.

If people are commenting otherwise, they either haven’t used Brave or are missing they are seriously missing something.

creativenolo··on Don't Fuck with Scroll
Oh the irony, the scrollbars on this pages covers the last letters of each line.
creativenolo··on OpenAI, Google and Anthropic are struggling to build more advanced AI
> holding on of building things waiting for "that next big update", but there a so many small, annoying tasks that can be easily automated.

Also we only hear / see the examples that are meant to scale. Startups typically offer up something transformative, ready to soak up a segment of a market. And that’s hard with the current state of LLMs. When you try their offerings, it’s underwhelming. But there is richer, more nuanced hard to reach fruits that are extremely interesting - but it’s not clear where they’d scale in and of themselves.

Great & motivational comment. Any pointers on where to start playing with the internals and sampling?

Doesn’t need to be comprehensive, I just don’t know where to jump off from.

creativenolo··on Web Locks API
Subjectiveness aside on what’s more readable… your proposing a new language feature would be more readable than an API design. To me, the MDN proposal is declarative whereas your proposal is imperative. And with my subjectiveness, JavaScript shines in declarative programming.
creativenolo··on Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one?
This is wonderful.

But then I read it, and they call it stupid. And then I think, oh… I think I will move on. How boring am I. And why put it up on YouTube - so many videos - given you can’t legitimately download all the videos (unless I am mistaken?) I mean you are investing so much of other people time with this, you think you might offer up an alternative own system in return… how boring I am.

creativenolo··on Show HN: Draw.Audio – A musical sketchpad using the Web Audio API
I hope it was as fun to build as it is to play with. Nit: I keep fat fingering the controls. Every 2 out of 3 times I touch a control, it collapsed the controls section instead.

Also - I thought the lines beneath the color controls were titles (> etc) and not buttons. I couldn’t figure out how someone shared a link where it played notes from left to right

Ok so hard is a subjective quantifier. I should have said time consuming. Look at the link I shared. With Gen AI the amount of time involved would be a fraction compared to doing it without. I’d bet 1% when including things like concept development and look development.
creativenolo··on Automat
This style of website will be rife soon - there’s more and more popping up. Even yesterday, I was looking at https://comancheindians.tilda.ws/en

These websites would have been super hard to resource the assets, but now with Gen AI it’s simple.

creativenolo··on Trump wins presidency for second time
> Unsure what the general mood is that can lead to Keir Starmer dropping 30 points in approval months after winning in a landslide

The window to do your unpopular policies and announcements is the start of your government in the hope the reap the benefits just before the next election cycle. Not saying it’s the correct approach, but that’s the theory.

creativenolo··on Show HN: A minimalist (brutalist?) website for sharing all your links
I will use this, thanks.

+1 to the other comment about not needing to name a link (be great if it grabbed the page title or allowed the url only.)

The confirmation went to spam.

Probably this is not the spirit of minimalism (but maybe the spirit of Unix), I would love to be able to augment this with other services: this stays a very minimal link hosting but it offers web hooks and an API key. This means if a link was added, I could self host with something that uses an AI to summarise the for example, or extract a screenshot from the page, or triggers something that adds it to my notes, etc… To me, this would be a great way for the web to be. Rather than companies trying to scale up around link sharing, or be open source and hope people will dive into a codebase.

creativenolo··on Apple acquires Pixelmator
Are they acquiring the company to get the app, or are they acquiring the company to hire the people?
creativenolo··on Universe would die before monkey with keyboard writes Shakespeare, study finds
Yes, and no…

> Here, we consider the Finite Monkeys Theorem and look at the probability of a given string being typed by one of a finite number of monkeys within a finite time allocation consistent with estimates for the lifespan of our universe

But point taken, the article is sensationalizing.

creativenolo··on Universe would die before monkey with keyboard writes Shakespeare, study finds
They have arbitrarily shifted the goal posts to fit their conclusion:

> working out that even if all the chimpanzees in the world were given the entire lifespan of the universe, they would “almost certainly” never

Who assumed the original adage had the constraint of the universe’s lifetime.

creativenolo··on Crafting Painterly Shaders
To be fair to the (epic) work of the author, a spacecraft likely wouldn’t have darks off to blue. I recon balancing the color was within their means and is likely their stylistic choice.
creativenolo··on Google CEO says more than a quarter of the company's new code is created by AI
It probably does. But an amazing number of commenters think they are prompting the copy & pasting, and hoping for the best.
creativenolo··on So long WordPress
From personal experience, the complexity comes from how ‘not obvious’, unexpected, or (outwith WordPress) unconventional much of WordPress is.

It is a fascinating code base that is a result of it evolving through end user needs, over years, rather than being a grand software architecture with developer ergonomics at the core. Last time I touched it, changing domain names and sync dbs all required plugins. Yet in page editing works like magic.

I assume no-one building Wordpress today would build it like it is build.

creativenolo··on NotebookLlama: An open source version of NotebookLM
Counterpoint: I have used the podcast numerous times and shared it with many. Great system and medium to digest complex information that I otherwise wouldn’t have.
creativenolo··on NotebookLlama: An open source version of NotebookLM
This content could easily be a blog post and worth a read. But it’s in notebook form to make it interactive.

It’s a tired comment narrative about these being about open source.

Also the text is enjoyably playful “For our GPU poor friends” and “let's proceed to justify our distaste for writing regex”
