Hardware is so powerful, that soon we will be able to run anything using anything, if you have access to whatever you need to run, and access is lacking only if it is streaming content from cloud or hardware encrypted.

diimdeepon I gave Opus 5.5 one prompt and six hours to visualize Invisible Cities

"Attention whore" used to mean someone who makes garbage to get attention. Now it's a machine that uses attention to make garbage.

diimdeepon Can you tell which images are AI-generated?

No, but we still can tell that this web site is AI-generated slop.

diimdeepon Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac

I am still rocking Sequoia and this targets Tahoe purely from UI constraints, no like.

diimdeepon Jelly UI: Soft-body physics for native HTML form controls

diimdeepon Holding the LLM Stack in Your Head

Looks like good value, interactive toys add a lot of intuition. I would love to see this expanded to cover other modalities, not just text. And then expanded to non LLM, specialized models, like tts, tabfm, etc.

bug: /toybox#06 clears page

diimdeepon Transcribe.cpp

Congrats on delivering good value to the people. I have used transcribe.cpp a few weeks ago to do near realtime offline stt on a 10 year old phone, writing simple adhoc app for my use case, it's crazy what is happening right now.

diimdeepon Regressive JPEGs

Here is another cat https://idiod.video/njz0kx.mp4

diimdeepon Fable created novel 4D splat format

Publish full session md, you can export them with `uvx claude-code-log@latest --tui`

diimdeepon Odin, Wikipedia and engagement farming

Article has a few decent remarks, but ultimately it fails to deliver anthropologic, grounded, humane interpretation without narrow worldview and ideological biases of it's author.

diimdeepon HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88

They forgot to add "masterpiece" /s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcYl70vq_Ns

diimdeepon Half-Life 2 in a Browser

Cool, but then game hangs in city square.

diimdeepon VibeThinker: 3B param model that beats Opus 4.5 on reasoning with novel SFT+GRPO

BF16 with no QAT quants == half backed bread

diimdeepon There are no instances in ATProto

My uninformed(about this particular enterprise) but educated guess: if tomorrow VC funding evaporates all this network cease to exists. I guess based on feely that 80% of all of these Relays, PDS, Apps including, Bsky are all from few if not one company, meaning centralized behind the curtain, but decentralized evangelism. It is very possible I am completely wrong, and so be it.

diimdeepon A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones

Computing platform with retired phones is not going to happen unless manufacturers add some budged for this to the motherboard design, expose high bandwidth interface similar to pci-e or usb4, we have now 80GB/s RAM phones with less than 1GB/s usb3 interfaces to the this beast computers, it is absurd.

diimdeepon Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5

Feudals doing backroom deals.

SpaceX IPO + https://x.ai/news/anthropic-compute-partnership

  Anthropic rents the entire Colossus 1 data center and other compute capacity from SpaceX, which acquired xAI. Under the agreement, Anthropic pays SpaceX $1.25 billion a month, totaling roughly $45 billion for a multi-year lease

diimdeepon A greyscale iPhone setup that works in everyday life

Interesting idea, but it would be nice to preserve very minimal signal from color, tunable as one feels, something like this with Stylus extension:

  @-moz-document domain("youtube.com") {
  body { filter: grayscale(95%)contrast(110%); }
  }

diimdeepon DiffusionGemma: 4x Faster Text Generation

I wish labs would do QAT and release these quants, at this point looking at releases of bf16 without QAT feels like looking at half backed bread, we can quantized it but it is not the same as QAT. Or I am missing something here ?

diimdeepon Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]

It is a lunacy, complete delusion to think that privately owned (by oligarchy) root CA that trusted by every web browser and OS on the planet is somehow superiorly safer from the point of state actor attack than those explicitly state owned root CA. You must be livin in fairyland.

diimdeepon If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know

1990s: "What a computer is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds."

2026: /s "What a LLM is to me is it's the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds, but for your mind it's a rental unicycle that will break apart under you if you pedal towards your own bicycle factory"

This wanna be cloud feudal lord likes to imagine that AI access is not yet freely tradable good, and his virtual digital peasants must think that his prerogatives should be taken as given, while preventing his future vassals from building their own castles.

diimdeepon Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]

the reach is by rough estimates ~2.5–6 million websites globally, 2–5 million of those in Russia and 0.3-1 million in Iran

Whatever USofA, it's not hard to have their own cosmodrome and certificates.

Tangential, in 2026 website certificates feel like nothing, disposable automation artifact, toxic max-security[1], vehicle for those who rent seek, fingerprint.

diimdeepon Apple WWDC 2026

Still deliberately running macOS Sequoia 15 cuz you know… and if I'll switch to something hopefully better than Tahoe will disable SIP and every thing that is not needed to just launch software, this OS has gotten too obese.

diimdeepon Apple WWDC 2026 Livestream

diimdeepon MacBook Neo is so popular that Apple doubled production

Amazing hardware, 8GB out to keep developers in check with sane memory management, if only Apple themselves cut down on their macOS operating system memory usage, 3GB idle is too much. The obvious out of spec for this laptop is emulated gaming with rosetta and wine, this need minimal 16GB.

diimdeepon Microsoft Office 2019 and 2021 for Mac view-only conversion

Russian developers, really ? Thanks for mentioning, I will download it and try it out, because there is nothing wrong with anything that is originated in Russia or made by Russian people.

diimdeepon Warm up your MacBook (2019)

Or something useful, save space, compressing some talk or edu video, just 6 fps is usually enough for slides or code, opus audio can go as low as 32k and still be decent compared to source quality, expect 10-15x size reduction

    -vf "fps=6,format=yuv420p,scale=960:-2:flags=lanczos" \
