ivanjermakov··on Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices
Maybe tomorrow we get Android running on the iPhone (and Linux on the iPad please).
ivanjermakov··on Show HN: UI micro interactions prompts for AI
Reminds me of NFT trolls "sorry I just screenshot it for free".
ivanjermakov··on Show HN: UI micro interactions prompts for AI
Prompts as a service is something new.
ivanjermakov··on OpenShell – A safe, private runtime for fleets of autonomous AI agents
Agent runtime - actually a good name for what is called today coding agent or agent harness.
ivanjermakov··on No more icons in every menu by default
Dense UIs are work of art when done right, especially in combination with keyboard centered workflow.
ivanjermakov··on Quad9 to exit France

ivanjermakov··on Security Disclosure

ivanjermakov··on WorldTUI: I trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal
`npx dogsay`?
ivanjermakov··on GitLab critical patch release
Because "10 out of 10" is a better headline for the average reader than "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H".
ivanjermakov··on There's never been a better time to go into math (by: 3blue1brown) [video]
> The idea of pet projects is killed by language models

Only if the goal of a pet project was the end result. In my experience pet project is all about learning new things and exploring the unknowns. LLM finishing it in half and hour does not achieve any of that. Although it can be a good assistant.

ivanjermakov··on Dogs seem to agree with humans that 'bouba' is round and 'kiki' is spiky
Does it mean that Kikis smell/taste pointy too?
ivanjermakov··on Types of types: Haskell's Kind system
In my experience such categories pop up when dealing with immutable data, which is common in many domains.
ivanjermakov··on I love software rendering
True, although graphics portability has improved quite a bit thanks to Vulkan, WebGPU, Wine, and others.
ivanjermakov··on We still use paper
For math I'm usually writing small programs or using spreadsheets, which again has benefits or search/edits/versions/undo.
ivanjermakov··on We still use paper
Stopped using paper the day I graduated uni. Digital tools are superior in all aspects for my way of thinking.
ivanjermakov··on I love software rendering
None of the benefits listed are exclusive to software rendering. There is literally nothing software renderer can do that GPU one can't. But I get that from historical perspective this not always was the case (esp. before programmable GPU pipelines).
ivanjermakov··on Tesla Roadster
Original roadster is one of the best looking car designs for my taste. This... subdivision modifier over the Cybertruck.
ivanjermakov··on What I self-host
I understand use cases for Jellyfin and selfhost it myself for music (in combination with incredible Finamp[1]), but for movies/shows plain MiniDLNA[2] works like a charm and is accessible from any device.

ivanjermakov··on Apple: Switch to Safari (From Chrome)
In their methodology "excellent" means 40+ speedometer score.

What was the "quiet week"?
ivanjermakov··on Secret of Orange Cats Revealed After 60-Year Search
I thought it was popularized by internet/Reddit as a joke denoting that ginger cats are "special": https://www.reddit.com/r/OneOrangeBraincell/
ivanjermakov··on I paid people to try and follow my README
Immediate reaction - LLM generated. Hard to imagine a real human picking emojis to match feature description for a long list.
ivanjermakov··on Talorys – A self-hosted personal AI agent on Cloudflare's free tier
> Your personal AI agent. Your own cloud.

Sorry, I don't own any cloud.

ivanjermakov··on Triple-A Minesweeper
Performance is too good for the UE game.
ivanjermakov··on Triple-A Minesweeper
There is a bunch of AAA parody: 17 loading screen logos, epic music without anything happening, deep dialogues over nothing, gameplay is as imperative as it gets, unskippable dialogues.
ivanjermakov··on Yes, and
Programmers make computer programs. LLMs make making computer programs more affordable and efficient, resulting in more computer programs and higher demand in programmers. We don't know what programming would be like in 10 years, but why would demand in well functioning computers go down?
ivanjermakov··on Theranos.world
If only apps were opening in an instant, odd feeling of having it on random website but not have it natively.
