imnotr0b0t··on Now Google says it might use your Gmail and Google Photos data to target ads
All of this so predictable and so disappointing. But there’s nothing to do but accept it.
imnotr0b0t··on RepRapMicron
Wow that sound promising. I wonder if such devices might, in the future, simplify the process of creating electronic components.
imnotr0b0t··on Gemini 4 Argon
I fully agree. I tried using several language models (LLMs) to learn Chinese. It turned out to be a so-so idea.
imnotr0b0t··on QGIS bans AI assisted contributions
In fact, this change seems quite logical. AI is certainly a useful tool, but that doesn't mean it must be uded always and everythere. Edpecially when doing so could compromise the final quality of projects. Let's see where all this leads
imnotr0b0t··on High Diesel Prices Bankrupted 16 Trucking Companies in Just 30 Days
How fast does the fuel surcharge money actually come in? Could a small trucker go broke waiting to get paid?
imnotr0b0t··on Using A.I. to decode communication of sperm whales
How do they check taht they got the meaning right? Getting a whale to react is cool, but that's a pretty big jump to knowing what it's actually saying.
imnotr0b0t··on How to scale intent, quality, and artistry with AI [video]
I have to agree. This is especially noticeable in software; it’s impossible to distinguish manual work from the generated kind. There’s no point in appealing to the human element here, the buyer simply doesn’t see the difference. But fortunately, for now, we still have work.
imnotr0b0t··on A browser-native classic Visual Basic VB6 IDE
Wow, that's great. It brings back so many memories
imnotr0b0t··on Run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B) on consumer hardware (RTX 4090) at 100T/s
Does the "Coder" variant at 32 GB actually feel usable for real coding work?
imnotr0b0t··on Pi 1.0
I like that Pi is holding the line on minimalism instead of absorbing every new trend. Curious how Pi Durable differs from existing durable-execution setups for agents
imnotr0b0t··on RIP, vector database
Yeah, that's true
imnotr0b0t··on Scientists solve 1840s space weather mystery
It is sad to admit, but you are right
imnotr0b0t··on World Labs Is Joining AMD
I wonder where this will lead
imnotr0b0t··on Pirating the Pirates
It is regrettable that the law draws no distinction between such a situation and the sale of counterfeit goods on eBay. Section 1201 does not take intent into account, whereas the aforementioned "pirate code" essentially consists of norms developed by the community itself.
imnotr0b0t··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
It doesn't look like a coincidence; it looks more like a request someone made. Essentially, the agents used a brute-force approach, but then again, it actually worked. I’m not even sure what to make of it all.
imnotr0b0t··on Bug: Border radius has infected VSCode editor
It definitely feels that way
imnotr0b0t··on WordPress: Unauthenticated path traversal leading to conditional RCE
Yeah, I agree that with the right expertise you can keep WordPress safe, and the White House is a good example of that. But the problem is the WP ecosystem and defaults push people without that expertise to install plugins and themes, and "if you know what you're doing" is the exception, not the rule for its user base
imnotr0b0t··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
The notable thing is that Luna regressed a bit on coding while dropping 60% in price.That's a fair trade, for high-volume work Luna at that price is basically free, but it does show that newer doesn't always mean better.
imnotr0b0t··on How to Write with an LLM
True, by the way, editing often takes much longer than writing the same text from scratch yourself, I've noticed that too.
imnotr0b0t··on Korea raises data breach fines to 10% of revenue
That sounds risky
imnotr0b0t··on Getting 50 GB/S Back from the Apple Neural Engine
This is kinda nuts.

Can this mostly be fixed in software, or are M3 users basically stuck unless apps work around it themselves?

Going from 10 to 24 tok/s just from a workaround is a pretty crazy jump.

imnotr0b0t··on Hacking IKEA Furniture
Lol, that's true. It's even funny.
imnotr0b0t··on Cores in space: The core memory module from a 1980 Spacelab computer
The architecture without inhibit lines is interesting. Did this make the memory faster, or was the main goal simply to reduce the number of sense amplifiers and simplify the board layout?
imnotr0b0t··on “I just chose words carefully”
Sometimes I think I'm too detail-oriented. Then I remember that someone once spent weeks manually rewording a game FAQ so the right margin would look pretty in a text file. And I feel better about myself...
imnotr0b0t··on [dead]
It's wild that a tradition like this has stuck around for nearly 600 years and turned into such a valuable climate record. 25 no-cross winters in the last 34 years compared to just 5 in the 50 years before 1950 is pretty much a straight up graph of global warming...
imnotr0b0t··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
Interesting find. Overall it makes sense from a deepfake-fighting perspective and EU requirements. But what's concerning is that users aren't really told about this, as far as I can tell. Would be cool if someone checked if it can be bypassed, like swapping the DLL or intercepting the API call. But yeah, it's another step toward every digital trace becoming personally identifiable...
imnotr0b0t··on What Happens When the Cost of Intelligence Drops 100x
The article is solid. But there is a nuance what he skipped — quality vs price. Sure, GPT-5.6 Luna for pennies can do the same thing what Claude 4.5 Sonnet did for a dollar a year ago. Except Sonnet back then actually carried the codebase, while Luna... eh, not so much. And another thing, speed. You can make it cheaper as much as you want, but if a model thinks for half a minute you save cents but lose time.
imnotr0b0t··on Kagi added a setting for removing paywalled links from search results
The update is useful, especially the paywall filter. I might even consider switching platforms; it seems convenient...
imnotr0b0t··on old.reddit.com Now Requires a Login
I noticed that too... There are still ways around it, but I don't think it'll last long. I don't know, I'm thinking of giving up on Reddit altogether
imnotr0b0t··on St Lucie Nuclear Reactor Unit 1 manually shutdown, 3 control rods drop into core
I have mixed feelings. It seems like nothing serious happened, no one was hurt, and all the systems worked, but on the other hand, this is still an emergency. Why did those rods fall in the first place?
