davikr··on Resident Evil 4 (GameCube) – complete byte-identical decompilation to C/C++
How many tokens and which models were used?
davikr··on Apple's Siri AI Can Be Swapped Out for Claude, ChatGPT, Code Shows
I don't want to tell Siri to ask Claude or GPT - I want Siri to automatically delegate to another model of my choice when it can't answer something, instead of showing irrelevant web searches.
davikr··on Covert CIA program said to be behind mysterious attacks on Galápagos boats
My fishermen also ride around in speedboats rocking $120,000 worth of engines filled to the brim with mysterious blue packages.
davikr··on Full Writeup of the Windows GDID
I'm guessing Ngrok gets subpoena'd, hands over the IP who created the account, page access timestamp, etc - FBI hands over to Microsoft, finds which Windows PCs were active with a certain IP on that time period, tries to correlate other characteristics such as OS version or anything to get a single hit, and then return other IPs used by that machine and everything else they have, like SmartDefender / Edge telemetry.
davikr··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
That's like 30 minutes of MCP usage.
davikr··on I used Claude Code to get a second opinion on my MRI
You can try sending basic chest radiographs to GPT and it'll fail at interpretation. I'd be wary of premature conclusions.
davikr··on Will AI kill the middle class?

davikr··on Steam Machine launches today
Just another step into the direction of global Brazilification.
davikr··on US Government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
It's Madman theory all the way down.
davikr··on An open-source stethoscope that costs between $2.5 and $5 to produce
Check "An in vitro acoustic analysis and comparison of popular stethoscopes" [0]. There's a $8 stethoscope - Mabis Spectrum, with great performance, according to this study.

davikr··on An open-source stethoscope that costs between $2.5 and $5 to produce
Yes, if you're going to be using it for the next 10 years, it is worth going for the more expensive Littman if you can. However, I've heard that there are decent Chinese clones, and honestly I've used those $1 stethoscopes in isolation units and they're not terrible for basic pulmonary auscultation.
davikr··on AI's Economics Don't Make Sense
For all we know, there could be 10 people paying for a ChatGPT subscription and not using it enough to subsidize 1 power user _and_ still have money left for profit.
davikr··on Claude Code removed from Anthropic's Pro plan
It is left unsaid, but throughput is also terrible.
davikr··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
It definitely lost the characteristic slop look.
davikr··on Measuring Claude 4.7's tokenizer costs
Some say margins could be up to 90% on API inference. The house always wins?
davikr··on Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw
regular Pi or oh-my-pi?
davikr··on A $20/month user costs OpenAI $65 in compute. AI video is a money furnace
That might be the calculus. Well, I'll be glad to leech off whoever's offering the most amount of tokens, with the best models, for the cheapest price, and then they'll get some of my money and hopefully some bigger customers.
davikr··on A $20/month user costs OpenAI $65 in compute. AI video is a money furnace
A $20/month Codex user probably costs thousands of dollars in compute (for multiple providers). I think they just want to weather it over until compute is eventually cheap enough, has to be, otherwise it'll always be unsustainable.
davikr··on Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan
Why can't we freeze the version of globally installed packages with npm?
davikr··on Ripgrep is faster than grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift (2016)
not yet, but Cursor is working on it.
davikr··on Ripgrep is faster than grep, ag, git grep, ucg, pt, sift (2016)
qgrep is faster if you're fine with indexing. worth it
davikr··on Delphi 13.1 Released, with ARM64 support
I tried Lazarus recently, but I found the IDE to be slow.
davikr··on The Future for Tyr, a Rust GPU Driver for Arm Mali Hardware
> Dave Airlie just announced in the Maintainers Summit that the DRM subsystem is only ""about a year away"" from disallowing new drivers written in C and requiring the use of Rust.

wow

davikr··on Loss32: Let's Build a Win32/Linux
It's what everyone uses, anyways. The other versions have their own pitfalls.
davikr··on Unreal Tournament 2004 is back
Still holding out for UT1 code to be officially released.
davikr··on I fixed my lactose intolerance – by chugging ALL the lactose [video]
> In persons with low small intestinal lactase activity, colonic bacterial flora can adapt to persistent lactose ingestion and thereby contribute to a reduction in the incidence and severity of symptoms following a lactose load.

davikr··on Steam Machine
I'd have Secure Boot, and then one root for an user-modifiable regular Linux installation, and another root that is read-only, signed, custom kernel etc.
davikr··on Ticker: Don't die of heart disease
Yeah, for each level of cardiovascular risk (in America, probably calculated with PREVENT) there is a target LDL which should guide whether you should start or not a statin.
davikr··on Ticker: Don't die of heart disease
note: > individuals at low risk of cardiovascular disease
