I am amazed about what I can read here, and the profession of the discussion.

gitowiec··on Flatpak – An Insecurity Nightmare
Yesterday I wanted to download small utility to change Fans Curve in my Lenovo Legion laptop. There was an option to download it with flatpack. When I saw the summary:

- small utility 100kB

- libraries needed to sandbox small utility 1GB

I just $##@#$@&$¡! And I searched more for *.deb package

gitowiec··on You could have invented transformers from memory
So I saw this:

"Here are the terms we’ll use throughout. A memory store is a function $f$ that holds $M$ memories, for $i = 1, \ldots, M$. A memory is one key-value pair: a key $k_i \in \reals^{d_k}$, used for lookup based on similarity, and a value $v_i \in \reals^{d_v}$, which is what we want to retrieve. To use $f$, we query it with an input $x$, and it recalls an output $f(x)$. A good memory store recalls $v_i$ when we query it with $k_i$, or with another vector similar to $k_i$. In the literature, a memory store that recalls by similarity is called an associative memory."

And thought "I need to disable noscript because I get crappy page view". I disabled and it didn't help. It's a little sad that there is no explanation in the article what all that dollar signs mean. I feel excluded

gitowiec··on Show HN: Llmspeed – feel how fast a local LLM runs before you buy the hardware
I would like to see in such simulators:

- multi GPU configuration (hetero and homo)

- PCIe gen chooser (3.0/4.0/5.0)

- is nvlink enabled (2 cards, 2 x 2 cards, 3 x 2 cards)

- is PCIe bifurcated or CPU native (threadripper pro for example)

gitowiec··on Attack of the Vibe Coded Photoshop Clones
What a sad rant... I am glad that there is vibecoded Photoshop alternative. I used it this weekend to correct some photos for printing and it did well. I am not an artist or professional, I just want to have my "photoshoppy" software to do regular stuff I learned when I first launched Photoshop 6.0. That is what I want, to not change the way I work I learned in the beginning.
gitowiec··on Grieving the loss of details
It feels like a delicate psychosis. I can understand it, accepting a change is very very hard for me too.

It is possible that before GTA6 we will have GTA6 on a PC, thanks to the latest jailbreak for PS5 and AnyPS5 project ;)
gitowiec··on Beam: Reflection's 501B open-weight model
I'm on the waiting list... Couldn't find any download option, so I suppose it is only obtainable through their API. Strange way to distribute open weights model.
gitowiec··on Show HN: Open-source model routing for coding agents at Astra-level performance
Can it route to locally or LAN hosted Qwen or some other open weights model?

So they stole idea from Zuck? That's good. And when reading all that PR I feel like it is going to be her l new whip on people who will use dots
gitowiec··on When did Google get so weird?
That is why I'm turning slowly to Kagi, first the free tier. My first search results were weird, I searched for "CMK32GX4M2A2666C16 ver3.41" and it wasn't much relevant as I thought it would be

gitowiec··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
The same feeling, do AI knows the hardware? Does it have the context of the changes? Did it read Linus decisions why something should be the way he thinks is correct? I would prefer such approach where AI knows so much context as Linus and the most important persons in the kernel team
gitowiec··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
400 locs is a very exhausting day for me, I think I rarely did so much work a day in my entire 15 years career
gitowiec··on My temporary PHP fix from 2014 has nearly 20M installs. Today I'm deprecating it
Omg, PHP... I ditched this language 7 years ago, because I was fed up with the context switching (fullstack webdev). In the beginning I really was enjoying the gentle slope of learning. I could do a lot without knowing what classes, objects and types are. And I am grateful for this, because thanks to it, now I am here where I can do much more powerful things knowing classes, objects, types and paradigms
gitowiec··on Neovim have a ~$800k Bitcoin donation sitting untouched since 2023
Exactly this! It was rendered money by some minds.
