elAhmo··on Have You Restarted Your Computer This Week?
I used to be in this camp, maybe not 150+ days but with month+ uptimes, but now with Docker I have to restart regularly as I frequently get notes about 'no more disk space' and the only way to reclaim is is to reboot.
elAhmo··on One million passports leaked online
> This should be a wakeup call for data security.

Hah, author is funny.

elAhmo··on Steam Machine launches today
I have an Late 2012 model, so it is 14 years, but the point still holds.
elAhmo··on Elevated error rate across multiple models
Speaking of LLM looping techniques, Claude seems to be having elevated error rate on a /loop as well.
elAhmo··on Steam Machine launches today
My 15 year old Mac Mini has the same amount of RAM as this machine in 2026. I bought it used around 7-8 years ago for 200 EUR.
elAhmo··on The AirPods Effect
Saying thank you to the bus driver in UK felt nice. Doesn't really hurt anybody.
elAhmo··on Help I accidentally a wigglegram
Does anyone know what is the technique they use in some of the documentaries where they use really old photos, but they make them look like this wiggle gram? I know it's not AI because the photos can be decades old, but they still do some stuff which that makes them almost see like 3D.
elAhmo··on Ask HN: Will programmers write more efficient code during the memory shortage?
No
elAhmo··on The AirPods Effect
Agree, it definitely is rude. Saying hello, good afternoon, responding to a question about cash/card also involves communication, and with earbuds it is simply rude to the other person.

If you don't want to talk to anyone, go to self-checkout or a vending machine, but cashiers are humans and not just robots scanning items.

elAhmo··on Midjourney Medical
Not sure why people keep posting links to X videos when they are available from at the official announcement post: https://www.midjourney.com/medical/blogpost

World's first trillionaire doesn't need more money or influence in destroying people lives, let's do a small step at a time and not use X.

elAhmo··on RFC 10008: The new HTTP Query Method
They could be updated to not delete it, like they would require for this new method anyway.
elAhmo··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
They definitely can, they just don't want to.
elAhmo··on I Fired Google
Similarly, Siri was arguably better a decade ago when it has deterministic intents that you could trigger with certainty, now it is all seemingly random at time.
elAhmo··on Making espresso with ultrasound
When you thought that coffee snobs couldn't get any worse...
elAhmo··on Hetzner Price Adjustment
Is ECC RAM that much valuable in day to day for non-critical usages?
elAhmo··on Brexit Ten Years On: The Economy
Good read for people in the future reading this and seeing so many comments that imply Brexit wasn’t that bad.

elAhmo··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
> The model did what Anthropic said it could do.

How come? Where are all of those security patches and critical bugs that would’ve broken all software if it was unleashed?

elAhmo··on Elon Musk Becomes First Trillionaire as SpaceX Starts Trading
I would be surprised if janitors get shares. This is Musk we’re talking about.
elAhmo··on Skeptics Question Whether SpaceX Is Worth $1.77 Trillion
Not skeptics, people with functioning brain.
elAhmo··on Chrome is looking to permanently drop MV2 extension
Anything to back those claims up? I use Firefox and didn't really notice this (although I am rarely on battery), and other than Google Meet making my machine throttle (and I blame that on Google not on Mozilla), I don't use Chrome for anything else for my browsing.
elAhmo··on Claude Fable 5
Oh please let’s stop with the Mythos “it’s dangerous” PR talk.

Its obvious Anthropic used it to hype things up and that’s about it.

elAhmo··on OneDrive data now has an expiry date
You make it sound way simpler than it is. Their ToS are probably written in a way they are fully protected in cases like this.
elAhmo··on Failing grades soar with AI usage, dwindling math skills in Berkeley CS classes
> You go to a university because you are deeply interested in understanding the subject that you study. Doing the homework and the tests are just the "goalposts" to check for yourself whether you made progress on this.

This is probably not true for majority of people. Most go to school because it is mandatory, pushed by parents and society, and university gives you credentials and better job opportunities. Homework and tests are a way to get a number grade on 'how well you memorized something', it doesn't really measure a deep understanding of the topic.

elAhmo··on 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 – AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building
RAM is used outside of the US as well.
elAhmo··on 32GB of DDR5 now costs $375 – AI shortage continues to squeeze PC building
You are saying there will be even more demand for RAM and that will cause the prices to crash?
elAhmo··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
Not using GAAP, so this is just PR for them.
elAhmo··on Can the stockmarket swallow Anthropic, SpaceX and OpenAI?
Please don't ask those rational questions, revenue is all that maters.
elAhmo··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
Knowing that investors in Elon's companies blatantly trust his lies, a rocket exploding here and there is not going to make a dent in the stock price.
elAhmo··on Anthropic confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC
Profitability claims don't really add up. They are not clear about what accounting methods they are using, and even if they might somehow show profitable quarter, they stated in their leak of numbers to WSJ that they might not end up the year being profitable.

This is just to pump their numbers for the IPO, profitability is nowhere close until we see the real numbers.

elAhmo··on The solution might be cancelling my AI subscription
The author has a problem with spending too much time at computer.
