grokkedit··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
this is really interesting!

I would love to see the models that astra produced, the fact that it builds them layer by layer assigning to each layer a specific goal makes sense given the tools it was given to build them, but it's also far different from what happens with normal training

EDIT: they are in the repo, looking at them now :D

grokkedit··on Jeeves. Reasoning improves Jev-like decision models
jeeves is currently the name of my local hosted assistant, in its context there are rules that tell it to behave like good old jeeves.

soon I'll make sure that my home assistant pod answers to "Hey jeeves"

grokkedit··on Nokia Design Archive
what a coincidence, less than an hour ago I looked for pictures of Nokia 2110 since I just found out that the letters on older phones were placed on different keys: OQZ were on the 0 key, not listed alphabetically, and that is still happening on small keypads used by cashiers, at least here in Italy, that's why I noticed it
grokkedit··on Jev-Leftpad
why useless? it did one thing that js didn't natively do
grokkedit··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
I've been using it with a couple of tools (like context7) as a documentation/helper, without giving it direct access to writing code, in marimo. it works great, albeit a little slow on my server (m1 max 64gb ram), at 8bit with omlx
grokkedit··on A proposal to restrict sites from accessing a users’ local network
I'm answering to the comment that explains how currently macos works
grokkedit··on A proposal to restrict sites from accessing a users’ local network
yes, but I'm answering to the comment that explains how currently macos works
grokkedit··on A proposal to restrict sites from accessing a users’ local network
problem is: without allowing it webUIs like synology won't work, since they require your browser to connect to the local network... as it is, it's not great
grokkedit··on Python lib generates its code on-the-fly based on usage
I've done a similar library[0] for python ~1 year ago, generating a function code only by invoking it, and giving the llm some context over the function.

Apart from the fun that I got out of it, it's been there doing nothing :D

grokkedit··on Amazon to display tariff costs for consumers
not to mention the mix of snake_case & camelCase
grokkedit··on ‘Bluey’s World’: How a Cute Aussie Puppy Became a Juggernaut
my god cricket is the best episode, and it’s crazy that no information about any character is even remotely needed to appreciate it

the authors created a great character in rusty

grokkedit··on Escaping the Chrome Sandbox Through DevTools
that's not entirely true: if you look at the manifest on the github repo you can see that it only requires the `tab` permission, which, when installed, will make the extension seem quite safe, since it should not have access to the content of your pages
grokkedit··on Escaping the Chrome Sandbox Through DevTools
they say: `This also means that, unfortunately, the bug will not work on stable builds of Google Chrome since the release channel is set to the proper value there`

So it's only working on Chromium, a way smaller attack surface than the whole Chrome users

grokkedit··on AI Winter Is Coming
Heroku has been around for almost 20 years, Vercel was Zeit ~10 years ago, and they both have always been widespread solutions, I wouldn't say that that there is hype only now

I cannot vouch for laravel cloud or void, since I've never used them, nor I will comment on Deno/Bun since they are far more recent

grokkedit··on Third Places and Neighborhood Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Starbucks Cafés
they are second places only if you work there, I think
grokkedit··on Show HN: Magic Top Hat, an infinite library for Python
I thought I was explicit enough in the README, but will add a warning as well!

what is a tractor paper?
grokkedit··on Things unexpectedly named after people (2020)
About southern blot there is more: it's a method used to find a specific DNA sequence in a DNA sample, and was named after its creator.

When a similar method was invented that applies to RNA, was of course named Southern.

When the one for proteins was invented, was named Western.

grokkedit··on Coffee in a Can
you're completely right. but most italians will never admit it, shunning all of the alternatives.

the strange thing is, we are used to different grapes varieties that are used to produce different wines, and everyone knows which tomato goes in a sandwich, which ones are better in a caprese, which for tomato sauce. but we are all fine with not knowing which kind of coffee we drink, and not knowing how it was treated...

that's why in Italy it's really rare to find someone that drinks coffee as it is, usually we add either sugar (or honey) or milk in order to mask the fact that coffee here tastes too burnt and bitter.

only in the past few years specialty coffee is starting to appear in the bigger cities, and I'm finally getting used to drink coffee after a whole life of tea with milk and the occasional macchiato caldo (espresso with a dash of hot milk), unless when abroad

grokkedit··on How would you say “She said goodbye too many times before.” in Latin?
you can remove the `prima` from the italian version: it's implied by the use of past tense and it sounds really bad in italian. if you want to emphasize the `before`, you can use: `ha già detto addio troppe volte` instead
grokkedit··on You can serve static data over HTTP
not sure that MITM definition applies here: cloudflare is serving the data, they're not in the middle, they're either alice or bob
grokkedit··on Replying to comments about our web page design
does anyone know what's the string above the "NO CARRIER" written at the bottom of the page?
grokkedit··on Replacing my MacBook Air M1 with a ThinkPad T480
> upgrades will cost you around $150 total on AliExpress

I'm upgrading a thinkpad (x220) with new monitor and battery and a few more upgrades, so I have an idea of the cost of upgrading

I'm sorry but the price of the upgrades is not that low, how do you get to that total upgrading:

- monitor

- wifi card

- trackpad

- battery

that does not add up

that said, I like the end result, and I'm really curious about the trackpad

grokkedit··on CatGPT – What if ChatGPT were a cat?
ahahaha I rushed to register https://chattpg.fr in order to do the same a couple of days ago :D (TPG since the french translation for GPT has a different acronym)
grokkedit··on iPad Pro M2
I read it as Easter (as in colorful) vs Victorian (as in austere)
grokkedit··on First Tasmanian Devils born in the wild of Australia mainland in 3k years
that's one of the craziest theories I've ever heard (and amazing if correct!) I found this article https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1186/s13062-019-023... but I still haven't read it!
grokkedit··on The name’s Ford, Alan Ford: how an Italian comic book spy became a Yugoslav hero
I'm ~30 and italian and I only know of this comic book because my uncle used to read that and gave me his collection.

And I love it: the first 100 issues are the best of the series, and among the best italian comic books ever written. Also the artist that did the drawings for the first (I think) 75 issues, Magnus, was incredible.

I still think that it's criminally undervalued.

grokkedit··on GTA III and Vice City fully reverse engineered: re3
You can still write a fully working page with a body but without a head, and a parent can do whatever it wants with their children, destroy them if necessary... It's not that bad...
