Kagi works quite well.
eternauta3k··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
Mass surveillance is already here, and they can already use open models to do 80% of what they were planning to do with Claude.
eternauta3k··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
Germany wasn't a fresh start. The de-nazification ended up being a bit of a joke and (AFAIK) the first governments were full of ex-Nazis.

eternauta3k··on Half million 'Words with Spaces' missing from dictionaries
It's what your insurance gets from the hospital after they provided a service to you.
eternauta3k··on The path to ubiquitous AI (17k tokens/sec)
Would be nice to point this at (pre-LLM) Wikipedia and fill out Wikidata!
eternauta3k··on How AI is affecting productivity and jobs in Europe
EU firms don't file EU patents necessarily, but rather in the relevant countries (including USA).
eternauta3k··on News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns
They already have archives with online and printed articles which they license to libraries, because the libraries take care of rate limiting and limiting abuse.

Is there something out there to simulate the non-uniformity and errors of real handwriting?
eternauta3k··on Heathrow scraps liquid container limit
Can you recommend one? I've tried Aeskulap and Amide and I found it hard to get the 3D views to work.

Why is an integer frame rate better?
eternauta3k··on Repatriate the gold': German economists advise withdrawal from US vaults
Wouldn't it be a "big loss" if the market believes that gold in Fort Knox is not retrievable? Same as in Argentina, where currency controls led to 1 USD in an Argentinian savings account to be worth less than 1 USD outside the country.
eternauta3k··on Ask HN: How can we solve the loneliness epidemic?
> The quickest way to be attractive is have empathy and not be a douche.

This would suggest most people are attractive. Is an empathic non-asshole really attractive, even without other things that make him interesting (e.g. travel experiences or interesting takes on things)?

eternauta3k··on Meditation as Wakeful Relaxation: Unclenching Smooth Muscle
I'm not asking about Buddhism, but rather about the article's theory about smooth muscle relaxation.
eternauta3k··on How will the miracle happen today?
I don't think Moloch means there are no random acts of kindness (not sure if that's what you meant).
eternauta3k··on Meditation as Wakeful Relaxation: Unclenching Smooth Muscle
Is there any evidence yet for this theory? Sounds falsifiable.
eternauta3k··on How Thomas Mann wrote The Magic Mountain
I spent a while looking for a download and could only find a forum post linking directly to the BR CDN, but only the first chapter worked :(
eternauta3k··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Orbán isn't brutal AFAIK.
eternauta3k··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Venezuela already was a refugee crisis ~5 years ago, until they liberalized the economy slightly some years ago. Not sure what the current status is.

I could foresee

* some US-backed pro-business president coming to power * GDP going up * still no completely liberal democracy but anyway better than Maduro * less emigration or maybe people start coming back

The main casualty is the notion that the US follows rules instead of doing whatever it wants. I'm not sure if I'd say democracy is a casualty as well, because (AFAIK with my non-leftist sources) Venezuela wasn't a real democracy.

> If he finds an enemy he can keep fighting for a long time - he will stay president for all that time

I don't think any latin american country can withstand the US for any amount of time, unless it turns into a guerilla war.

eternauta3k··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
> How does this differ from Russia invading Ukraine?

Cynically: maybe Venezuela will get a bit less sympathy because it's a somewhat shittier (see emigration numbers) and less democratic government than Ukraine's. And I suspect we have a more positive view of US troops than Russian troops, despite everything (Abu Ghraib is seen as an aberration and not as the normal way of working).

eternauta3k··on Willis Whitfield: Creator of clean room technology still in use today (2024)
I wish the article said what they did with the patent. Did everyone using this technology have to license it from Sandia?
eternauta3k··on PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory. RAM jumps to $600 due to shortage
No, refineries make more heating oil in winter and more gasoline in summer driving season.
eternauta3k··on Iowa City made its buses free. Traffic cleared, and so did the air
The answer is transactions costs, many countries charge for roads where it's practical (not in the city).
eternauta3k··on It's hard to build an oscillator
Relaxation oscillators are easy, good phase shift oscillators are an art.
eternauta3k··on It's hard to build an oscillator
I was hoping this would go more into startup and amplitude control, which are for me the tricky parts of building a phase shift oscillator (because you have to analyze the non-linear behavior).

I guess hobbyists nowadays are just using SI5351 and calling it a day.

eternauta3k··on NanoChat – The best ChatGPT that $100 can buy
Not a big issue with QT layouts (still have to test the result though)
eternauta3k··on Putting a dumb weather station on the internet
Holy cow, cheap weather stations are encoding and decoding JSON? What a century.
eternauta3k··on Python 3.14 is here. How fast is it?
Could you go into more detail? How would you build e.g. numpy without FFI?
