ewy1··on Claude Opus 4.8
not an insider but surely recently trained models have test against six months old memes, much like how llms suddenly started learning how many r's there are in strawberry after that blew up
ewy1··on Cloudflare CEO on how he chooses which employees to replace with AI
potentially ruining thousands of lives over some shit you read in a seventy year old book is a very normal thing to do
ewy1··on Neanderthals ran 'fat factories' 125k years ago (2025)
university of leiden is a great institution and i am blessed for having studied there despite dropping out!
ewy1··on Dropping Cloudflare for Bunny.net
your enthusiasm for the service might be justified but having every mention of its name be a hyperlink with referral code feels offputting like i'm about to enter a multi-level marketing scheme
ewy1··on The Windows Subsystem for Linux is now open source
While I had to, I enjoyed using WSL1 on Windows. It was disappointing to find WSL2 has no user upside; it just discards the benefits of WSL1 in favor of the simpler implementation.

Shame for all of the people who worked hard on WSL1 only to be virtualized into nonexistence.

ewy1··on Kagi Assistant
I appreciate that it's on a separate plan so that I don't have to interface with it.
ewy1··on The Delusion of the Polygraph
Maybe you misinterpreted the intent of the article - isn't the purpose of it to point out absurdities and fundamental flaws in the uniquely American polygraph obsession?
ewy1··on Gabe Newell forced to testify in person in Steam antitrust case [pdf]
The amount of service developers receive for hosting their game on Steam seems underappreciated. For their 30% cut they provide content delivery, news publication, networking services (for multiplayer), forums, Steam Workshop (for hosting and sharing mods and addons), and management and trading of in-game items. Is it worth the 30% cut? That's not up to me, but at least they're not just hosting your 25mb .apk file like the Play store et al.
ewy1··on Zero-k: A libre sci-fi RTS game, with an economy based on metal and energy
So happy to see this here! I used to play this a lot with my boyfriend - we were pretty evenly matched, and the game allowed for so much freedom which made every game wild. The most impressive feature is - in my opinion - the wide variety of commands you can provide to your units and how their AI interacts with them. For example, if you build a crowd of fast and agile grunts and make them match speed with a slower tank, they will still avoid enemy projectiles with their superior speed.
ewy1··on Brave Search Goggles: Alter search rankings with rules and filters
Now this is the killer feature a search engine needs. Next, what about a feature to invert the goggles? For example, if I wanted to invert the "no Pinterest" rule to get only Pinterest results.

I don't really have any good use cases for this but it'd be funny, to me at least.
