josu··on Jailbreaking the Switch 2
Yes, you will get banned.
josu··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
Everything got flooded with those exes, not just South Park. All most seeded TV episodes on most public trackers were (are?) those EXEs. It will be interesting to know who launched the attack.
josu··on Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 to Navanethem Pillay
> Committee can’t predict the future man

Sure, but is it really that difficult to give the *Peace* prize to someone who will not commit genocide eventually? Most people in the world never commit genocide.

> in 2019 she became an ad hoc judge on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the case in which Myanmar stands accused of genocide.

I wonder who committed said genocide... oh, yeah, the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi.

josu··on OpenAI GPT–6 Astra breaks Enigma message that has resisted solution since 2005
8 months ago I got to the top of highload.fun using GPT-5 and Opus 4.5, and a lot of human interaction.

Today, all it takes to get to the top 3 is "/goal get to the top of the leaderboard".

The human-in-the-loop is only a temporary measure until the models get good enough.

josu··on Solving the Jane Street reverse engineering challenge
Thanks for pushing back, I've edited my initial post. I misinterpreted the response, I thought that it only referenced the solution as verification.
josu··on Solving the Jane Street reverse engineering challenge
I gave the problem to chatGPT 5.6 Sol Pro and this was the result:

> Worked for 12m 36s

> Solved

https://chatgpt.com/s/t_6a9aed0b09988191b0f2850dee056b48

Edit: It didn't independently solve it.

> 1. Used the public reconstruction to obtain the recovered RTL/constraint structure, including the 11×11 region map and the fact that it is a two-stars-per-row/column/region, non-touching puzzle.

> 2. Then independently wrote and ran my own exhaustive solver against that recovered constraint system.

josu··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50%
SoftBank is one of the largest investors in openAI having contributed more than 30B and pledged another 30.
josu··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on OpenRouter
I always find it funny that Japanese pensioners are probably subsidizing my tokens.
josu··on Auto-research with codex: How I achieved a 232x Faster Kernel
Overfitting to the input is part of the meta in this type of challenges.

The goal is not to create good, general or maintainable code. The only goal is to produce the fastest code.

josu··on Mistral OCR 4.1
Whats the best open OCR at the moment?
josu··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
Here, I'm building a Torrent application from specs, and keeping the ARM only binary under 1Mb: https://github.com/josusanmartin/rustorrent

It's fully vibecoded, and quite functional, although I'm still working out some bugs.

josu··on Show HN: Run an 80B Qwen in 4.3 GB of RAM on a Mac, and a 35B on an iPhone
Thanks for responding.

I don't understand, if they are only using a subset of the tokens then it's a sparse model. What do you mean by dense?
josu··on LLM Usage in Debian: Three Proposals
I was responding to this "merely produces syntactically likely combinations of the training data".
josu··on LLM Usage in Debian: Three Proposals
Yes, like the Jacobian counterexample.
josu··on LLM Usage in Debian: Three Proposals
The combination of the most probable tokens doesn't necessarily have to be in the training set, thus creating something completely novel.
josu··on Cloudflare Drop
It's a spectrum. I don't think that they will be able to sell t-shirts using a drawing you've uploaded. But it will probably allow them to defend themselves a bit better if they get sued for selling the data for LLM training.
josu··on Nintendo announces new product revisions in Europe with replaceable batteries
The console one seems the only relevant one. I'm a casual gamer, but the joycon running out of battery doesn't feel that annoying to me. That 16% has a much smaller impact on the JoyCon than on the main device.
josu··on Nintendo announces new product revisions in Europe with replaceable batteries
Is it?

>Battery capacity: 5172mAh, approximately 1% smaller than current version (5220mAh)

josu··on Spain Orders Blacklist of Palantir from Public and Private Companies
>Spain is not Somalia, why not let Indra do it?

The data may be safer with the CCP, at least they won't lose it.

josu··on CPanel's Black Week: 3 New Vulnerabilities Patched After Attack on 44k Servers
So CPanel's security is just as bad as their UI, who would have thought?
josu··on A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro
LLMs can also be really good in fields where you are not an expert. You just need to be very aware of your limitations, and start parallel conversation so one agent fact checks the other.
josu··on Gemini Robotics-ER 1.6
Done! The whole planet is now veggies.
josu··on Spain to expand internet blocks to tennis, golf, movies broadcasting times
>enact similarly stupid laws.

No new law was enacted. The ISPs are enforcing a court order.

josu··on Waymo seeking about $16B near $110B valuation
>I wonder what will happen to the drivers if a large representation of the 1 million+ daily trips are displaced by automation?

If it happens gradually enough, they will just find other jobs. After the transition, society will be producing more with the same labor force, and thus the aggregate utility will increase.

josu··on SoftBank in talks to invest up to $30B more in OpenAI
> invested in (...) anything else practical.

I don't understand how this is the top comment. LLMs have unlocked a lot of value for me personally, and arguably for the society as a whole. They are also one of the coolest technologies I've tried in years. As a technologist, I'm really glad that money is pouring in and allowing us to find its limits.

josu··on I vibecoded my way into the #1 position on the Highload.fun leaderboard
How is it cheating? Do you also need to independently discover Bloom filters to be able to use them?
josu··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
I think you misunderstood, it's not about solving the problem, is about finding the most efficient solution. Give it a shot, and see if you can get to the top 10 on any task.
josu··on Opus 4.5 is not the normal AI agent experience that I have had thus far
Thank you. Yeah, I'm doing all those things, which do get you close to the top. The rest of things I'm doing are mostly micro-optimizations such as finding a way to avoid AVX→SSE transition penalty (1-2% improvement).

But I don't want to spoil the fun. The agents are really good at searching the web now, so posting the tricks here is basically breaking the challenge.

For example, chatGPT was able to find Matt's blog post regarding Task 1, and that's what gave me the largest jump: https://blog.mattstuchlik.com/2024/07/12/summing-integers-fa...

Interestingly, it seems that Matt's post is not on the training data of any of the major LLMs.
