illusive4080··on Ggml.ai joins Hugging Face to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI
Roughly how much does it cost to run one of the popular benchmarks? Are we talking $1,000, $10,000, or $100k?
illusive4080··on Privilege is bad grammar
It’s because the higher you are in the chain of corporate command, the less time you have to dedicate to each task. You end up with shorter answers to every note because you wouldn’t have time to reply to all notes and do the strategic things you need to do, otherwise.

As an individual contributor on a team, you may have to interface at most with 30 people on a weekly basis. As a second line leader you may have 150 people under your purview, and another 50 outsiders you have to talk to. You can’t scale the amount of time you have, so you scale the amount of time you spend on replies.

illusive4080··on Reef: Paste bash into fish. It just works
Incredible. I’m going to try this. Everyone at work codes to ZSH so I am always manually translating their snippets when I paste them in.
illusive4080··on Discord faces backlash over age checks after data breach exposed 70k IDs
Sadly Reddit hasn’t been meaningfully replaced yet. It’s a place filled with of censorship, power hungry mods, arbitrary rules, and groupthink to the extreme. I long for an alternative. Something civil like HN and community like Reddit.
illusive4080··on Eight more months of agents
Bolstering your point, check out the comments in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1qy9dcs/who_has_compl...

There’s a lot of unwillingness to even attempt to try the tools.

They had a public spat with Opencode
illusive4080··on Notepad++ hijacked by state-sponsored actors
I disagree. I want to separate my technology from politics. I consume politics through other venues. I don’t want HN full of political articles. It doesn’t mean I support status quo. It means I don’t want this one website pushing politics, which it increasingly does.

HN discussions are usually very high quality and respectful disagreement therein, which is unique online nowadays.

I’ve come here to escape Reddit, which is all politics all the time. If this place turns as political as Reddit, I’m out.

illusive4080··on Allowlisting some Bash commands is often the same as allowlisting all
Some at work want to let me run sudo vim only to edit my hosts file. This is silly for a variety of reasons, one of them being that vim can allow the user to exec arbitrary commands. If you give me root for vim, just save me the trouble and let me have unrestricted root so I can do my job.
illusive4080··on Clawdbot Showed Me What the Future of Personal AI Assistants Looks Like
Reading about this, it sounds like it has a dangerous amount of permissions. While AI can be useful, it often goes off on unexpected tangents and giving it access to control your computer remotely sounds like a terrible idea.
illusive4080··on I spent a week without IPv4 (2023)
Also BGW320. Maybe I’m not understanding the difference. I had it plugged into my gateway where I did VLANs on the gateway. The BGW320 was in passthrough mode. Yes, by itself it does not support VLAN tagging.
illusive4080··on Golfing Is Not Rowing
When I play golf, I just play to have fun. I’ll take 2 shots here and there. I don’t keep my score. I’ve met a few scratch golfers who will secretly tell you that they don’t enjoy golf anymore. It is at that point it transforms from a hobby to an obsession, a line which I’m unwilling to cross.
illusive4080··on I spent a week without IPv4 (2023)
You can do VLANs with their gateway but only IPv4, or you have to write custom scripts to ask for additional IPv6 delegations.

It’s not a spam server. I self host email for personal and non marketing business use. Don’t assume everyone running their own email is a spammer.
illusive4080··on I spent a week without IPv4 (2023)
AWS doesn’t offer PTR records for IPv6 addresses, which makes Gmail blacklist my email server’s IPv6 address. I had to disable IPv6 due to lack of PTR records.
illusive4080··on I spent a week without IPv4 (2023)
If you have ATT fiber, it’s a pain in the butt. Their default router will only issue a single passthrough /64 on request. If you have multiple VLANs you have to setup some scripts to ask for more, and even then you only get 8 of them. The gateway reserves the other 8 from the /60 it gets for its own use.

The only way I got IPv6 working well with them was to bypass their gateway. Now all my VLANs have /64, which is the standard subnet size.

illusive4080··on VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits
You can exchange common coins into Monero and Monero is fully private.
illusive4080··on VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits
Can you buy those in US stores?

I’ve been paying for Mullvad with Monero for years. Love it

illusive4080··on VPN location claims don't match real traffic exits
Mullvad is the only VPN I will ever trust. Yet again they ace the test.
illusive4080··on Unpowered SSDs slowly lose data
I have zed email me every time a scrub completes. I get weekly emails because I do weekly scrubs. If I don’t see an email I know something is up!
illusive4080··on What they don't tell you about maintaining an open source project
I wish. In my company that is an instant no. The amount of legal contracting bull we have to go through for that would quite literally take 9 months.
illusive4080··on We should all be using dependency cooldowns
The Noir iPhone extension won’t darken this white page because the author has explicitly told Noir to not darken the page. Why not just make a dark mode?

I’m not sure what I expected to see. I definitely got what was promised to me in the title.

Edited title to fit. Please change if needed.

illusive4080··on Amazon Rivian electric delivery vans arrive in Canada
That’s weird. I’m about as far away as you can be from Atlanta and still be considered in the metro area. Maybe it’s dependent on the area.
illusive4080··on Amazon Rivian electric delivery vans arrive in Canada
A “few” times? In Atlanta metro I exclusively see these vans, never any other type, except for temp workers in normal cars.
illusive4080··on Paris had a moving sidewalk in 1900, and a Thomas Edison film captured it (2020)
It’s crazy to me watching this and thinking that if that kid lived to 100 he would’ve died 30+ years ago. That unknown child will be forever captured on this film.

Every time I watch old films with children in them I always think about how they’ve been dead, hopefully of old age, for a long time already.

illusive4080··on Inside Amazon's engineering culture: Lessons from their senior principals
Two things can be true. They treat their employees poorly and they have invented many things which have vastly benefited millions or even billions of people.
