dingaling911··on I'm not a fan of Deno's security model (2024)
I mean the value gets encrypted or signed with a private key.
dingaling911··on I'm not a fan of Deno's security model (2024)
So side A prints out a value, side B has to input it using the user as the go between.

Hmm...

Isn't there a public key based way to avoid needing the user to do this.

dingaling911··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Marriage gets boring. Unfortunate truth. My suspicion is that Jensen was basically allowed to do it as long as it wasn't made public and if so, then this was def not the first time.

It would be a strange coincidence if the first and only time he cheated on his wife was with an intelligence agent.

dingaling911··on Goodbye Claude, hello Pi
You'd be surprised what you can accomplish if you don't just let the agents go wild.
dingaling911··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
Exactly. We are dingdong tickling monkeys. It's not beyond the realm of possibility.
dingaling911··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
I think his fear of failing is the reason for their success.

Just have a link that the user can click that copies the correct hash to the clipboard.
dingaling911··on ZapFast: A fast, native WhatsApp client in Rust and egui
I vibed some code using ImGui and it had this problem. I made it so that it only redraws when data changes with a fixed refresh rate and it went away. So it's not a permanent state of affairs.

I don't understand the UX you have in mind, just do it like SSH used to do, a non-echo input field?
dingaling911··on Quadrillion-parameter transformers and how to train them
I understand what happened. You took my claim literally. Like DNA translates by a simple function to random initialization. I was saying that all else being equal, DNA will influence the way the brain initializes. Of course, many factors will influence it.
dingaling911··on Quadrillion-parameter transformers and how to train them
I'm somewhat of a genius (self-described.)

I like your idea of "base" models for sale.

dingaling911··on Quadrillion-parameter transformers and how to train them
Science starts with a hypothesis. If DNA has everything encoded, then it stands to reason that it influences the initial state of the brain.
dingaling911··on Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi
Can you describe what you are doing where comparing the two is problematic?

For what it's worth, I use DS flash for statistical analysis, design (C++, Python), scripting, server maintenance. The same I used for Opus.

dingaling911··on Quadrillion-parameter transformers and how to train them
DNA is probably the seed for the random initialization.

No, my point is I can get the same work done paying < $100/month with the open models.
dingaling911··on Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi
My base instructions for all harnesses say something like "when the user asks you to do something that seems like it would be complex, come up with a plan first."

Works.

dingaling911··on Goodbye Claude, hello Pi
Sorry, what on earth are you doing where the open models are more expensive than the subs?

When I was using anthropic subs, my "equivalent usage" was $6k/month.

On the open models (specifically deepseek flash), it's < $100/month.

Same work, maybe more.

dingaling911··on Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi
Regarding credentials, my base instructions shared across all agents and all harnesses is that all credentials are accessed through a specific powershell script and should never be shown or written to file. This seems to work with pi, opencode.
dingaling911··on Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
Ahh yes that's right.
dingaling911··on America's economy is becoming zero-sum
When COVID happened, logically, that should've crashed the housing market. But instead it went up. Why? Money printing.

Absolutely immoral to prop up wealth for the richest generation while simultaneously protecting them and destroying life for the following generations for 2 years with potentially permanent consequences for the younger ones.

dingaling911··on Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
I remember the Java UI, but at some point they switched to a version of Swing that made it look more native, at least on Linux.

Eclipse
dingaling911··on Google has acquired Crusoe's data center site in southeast Wyoming
> All of a sudden AI is like Anti-Christ or Nuclear Reactor.

A little off topic, but I began to explore the "truth" of various religions from the perspective of an adherent and... the news isn't good.

If there is a compelling case for AI to be the anti-Christ, that's probably one of them.

dingaling911··on The Gordon Gekko effect: The role of culture in the financial industry (2016) [pdf]
I had two stints at a hedge fund, one a hedge fund supplier.

The fake self promotional bullshit is so tiring. I quit as a result of this. It's the same as big tech, not any different.

Jane Street SUPPOSEDLY follows a flat hierarchy which has less of these games. I'm not sure how true it is.

The way I think about it: you hire people who are literally self driven and then you constrain them for no reason just to make other people feel in control.

Or maybe I'm just not a good employee. My first job ever told me I'm a horrible employee.

dingaling911··on Anthropic IPO buyers see valuation as low as $1.1T
Whenever you buy a business, you have to have some idea of the valuation.

The IPOs need to have buyers. The buyers will have some idea of the business valuation, as will the sellers. This is decided before the actual stock starts trading.

Specifically, the "underwriters" will go around finding people willing to buy what is being offered. This gives some idea of where it will begin to trade.

dingaling911··on Nasdaq Sinks 5% as Investors Retreat from AI Trade After Election
Yeah big dividends are for companies that can't do anything better than the money.
dingaling911··on Nasdaq Sinks 5% as Investors Retreat from AI Trade After Election
Uh.. The big guys do.

It's trivial for those providing internet links to go up the stack and cloud data centers but they typically don't.

Staying in your lane is often a better choice.

Maybe expanding through acquisition is the best of both worlds. So replit might be bought.

dingaling911··on MCP Explained
Think of MCP like CORBA and COM+ and all those other systems.

The same reasons those were needed is why this is needed.

dingaling911··on MCP Explained
In the venn diagram of MCP and REST, there is an (optional) overlap for sure but one does not subsume the other.
