jodleif··on My agent.md to improve LLM-assisted code quality
Also, the language model might not fully understand the code then add a comment, then the next iteration will treat assumptions in the comment as the truth.
jodleif··on Qwen 3.8 27B
Then you might be missing SWA. Gemma models are extremely memory hungry without
jodleif··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
Its about the angle yes, but the main thing is basically for every square unit of solar radiation gets projected onto a larger surface because of the angle- meaning radiation per unit area is lower. The secondary effect is that sunlight has to travel through more atmosphere, and gets scattered somewhat.
jodleif··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
Would be really nice. Seems like even android is getting more and more locked down
jodleif··on Make macOS consistently bad unironically
Yes, except for the odd anti-cheat that needs kernel level access
jodleif··on AMD's Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition crams 208MB of cache into a single chip
Threadripper is a good alternative. No point having a lot of dual channel ram for LLMs, too slow
jodleif··on Peter Thiel's 'Steroid Olympics' Startup Wants to Sell You the Sketchy Peptides
In any functioning sports body testing is random and unannounced
jodleif··on The 100 hour gap between a vibecoded prototype and a working product
As long as you tune the JVM right it can be faster. But its a big if with the tune, and you need to write performant code
jodleif··on Coding after coders: The end of computer programming as we know it?
Agreed. Also, it takes time to understand a domain properly- so the innate slowness of coding helps with letting things “simmer” in the back of the mind.
jodleif··on Zig – Type Resolution Redesign and Language Changes
I found swift way more enjoyable than rust as a C++ alternative. It even has first class-ish interop now.
jodleif··on UUID package coming to Go standard library
Deterministic uuids is a very standard usecase
jodleif··on Tell HN: I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion
The sad part is the “buddy hackathon” is kind of redundant now
jodleif··on How to code Claude Code in 200 lines of code
For humans org-mode is good at this
jodleif··on Over fifty new hallucinations in ICLR 2026 submissions
I find this to be a bit “easy”. There is such a thing as bad tools. If it is difficult to determine if the tool is good or bad i’d say some of the blame has to be put on the tool.
jodleif··on Coffee linked to slower biological ageing among those with severe mental illness
I assume these needs to be indications on overall diet.

Edit: i.e a bacon eater consumes a higher than average caloric intake, hazelnut eaters have more greens/vegetables in their diet possibly

jodleif··on The differences between an IndyCar and a F1 car
The huge difference with f1 is that each team more or less make their own _bespoke_ car (except engine). With indycar is much more of a spec series where Dallara(?) makes the chassies for each team.
jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]
A common pattern is to offload (most of) the expert layers to the CPU. This combination is still quite fast even with slow system ram, though obviously inferior to a pure VRAM loading
jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]
1. Have you seen the Qwen offerings? They have great multi-modality, some even SOTA.
jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]
Assuming your hardware premise is right (and lets be honest, nobody really wants to send their data to chinese providers) You can use a provider like Cerebras, Groq?
jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]
> Valuation is not based on what they have done but what they might do

Exactly what I’m thinking. Chinese models catching rapidly. Soon to be on-par with the big dogs.

jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.2: Pushing the frontier of open large language models [pdf]
I genuinely do not understand the evaluations of the US AI industry. The chinese models are so close and far cheaper
jodleif··on Transducer: Composition, abstraction, performance (2018)
Did you mean list<a> -> b? To my mind a transducer is a tranform + reducer
jodleif··on John Carmack on mutable variables
This Carmack guy knows his stuff.
jodleif··on Ripgrep 15.0
Ive always found the silversearcher defaults (or perhaps -Q) to just work better. Any alias/config tips?
jodleif··on F1 in Hungary: Strategy and fast tire changes make all the difference
This is really old now (I think 2000s) but even the jacks they lift the car with doesn’t drop with gravity alone - that’s too slow. They have some mechanism that actively drops the jack, so they can pull it away faster.
jodleif··on Chrome increases its overwhelming market share, now over 70%
Recently they’ve done some shenanigans with extension support. it seems to me like a change only for the worse?
jodleif··on Valve Software handbook for new employees [pdf] (2012)
IMO it’s really hard to argue with the quality valve software is putting out. I can’t really name a game that isn’t considered a must play that they’ve made
jodleif··on DeepSeek-v3.1
Qwen have their own competitor to Claude Code.
jodleif··on The History of Windows XP
I actually liked windows 7 quite a bit
jodleif··on OpenAI to buy AI startup from Jony Ive
He said he was very dedicated, but turned out he wasn’t (surprise). What else could he be lying about? Surely not his work ethic
