m1keil··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
I actually do like it a lot.

Small bug report: on mobile layout, the like/dislike button is getting a bit clipped and the watch later button seems a bit off too.

m1keil··on Ghostty 1.4
Here's a delicious meal we prepared for you. We don't recommend you going to the kitchen and trying to prepare it all over again.

..but you can!

Nothing controversial here.

m1keil··on Ghostty 1.4.0
The update experience in Ghostty is great. I think it takes under 5 seconds from the moment you click accept update and until the new updated terminal is running.
m1keil··on Apple Music 404 Not Found
I never had an iPod and only borrowed it a few times from friends. It is quite amazing how they manage to nail down this interface which still feels good even in the day and age of touch screens.

My 2021 car has sort of similar scrolling wheel to control the infotainment (which has no touch) and it's nowhere near this level of polish.

m1keil··on Rune 1.3: adds TypeScript, a Helix editor, Kitty graphics and OSC-7501
I assume this type of application is the new JavaScript frameworks for the near future.
m1keil··on Show HN: SimCity, but with Permits
Have you considered there are other countries in the world?
m1keil··on SimCity, but with Permits
Have you considered that not all places have the emotional baggage like your Atlanta?
m1keil··on Testing 12 different Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors
Agree. I understand the rational but having a quick way to "deobfescate" the brand and model would help.
m1keil··on AWS Acquires DuckLabs
For now..

m1keil··on Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 GGUFs
huh.. I'm a bit of local LLM noob so I wasn't familiar with mlx_vlm.

I gave it a shot now:

mlx_vlm.generate --model mlx-community/Qwen3.8-27B-4bit --prompt 'give me fizz buzz in rust' --enable-thinking --draft-kind mtp --draft-model mlx-community/Qwen3.8-27B-MTP-4bit --verbose

==========

Prompt: 58 tokens, 90.717 tokens-per-sec Generation: 145 tokens, 36.392 tokens-per-sec Peak memory: 17.419 GB Speculative decoding: 2.79 accepted tokens/round (1.79 accepted drafts/round, 89.4% of drafted, avg draft 2.00) over 52 rounds

Which is very close to ollama, thank you!

I'm not sure if I can get rid of the drafter model, if I understand correctly, the Qwen model already includes a built in draft headers, but just having --draft-kind mtp results in about 17 t/s.

m1keil··on Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 GGUFs
I have a 36gb M3 Max. I tested it across quite a few different options: llama.cpp, oLMX, ollama with different options.

So far ollama managed to be the most performant of them all. I will get 30 to 40 tokes/sec with it when using the -mlx version of Qwen3.8.

Whatever the sauce the ollama folks baked into the mlx + MTP mix is currently working the best out of the box.

m1keil··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
Can be easily the price you will pay across Australia, depending on the time of day.
m1keil··on "That's not SOC 2 compliant"
The problem is it's not the engineers that overthink it. The requirement for soc2 usually comes with the first "serious" customer. It is usually a big blocker on some fat contract and now the business makes it your problem for the next 6 months.

So what do you do? You engage and some 3rd party 1800-need-soc2 clowns which will hold your hand and implement all the cookie cutter solutions they know will make auditor happy (oh and btw, they know the auditor personally).

m1keil··on "That's not SOC 2 compliant"
No, that's not a brag but a suggestion to take things into context and not apply soc2 as a cookie cutter solution where a 20k employee enterprise and a 20 people startup must share commonalities.

In a 20 people startup it's very likely that most engineers have access to production anyway and can inject malicious stuff directly, so PRs stop no one really.

m1keil··on My server is a phone now
It's an old phone getting a second life, the health of the battery is probably not a big concern at this stage.
m1keil··on Every .ru Domain Now Needs Government ID
Heh.. Russia is catching up with Australia!
m1keil··on LineageOS Statistics
TIL waydroid...
m1keil··on Real Linux. In a browser tab. No install. No server. No Docker
I don't think that guesstimating that something is an AI slop is very harsh these days. It sure has the signs of one:

- HN User created 66 days ago

- In these 66 days it submitted 4 stories about this project

- The heavy lifting is all done by v86 project (not jslinux as initially suspected)

- The project is a "rebrand/fork" from another project by the same author - "traits.build".

- In the original project, the first commits that mention v86 seem to start at around 23rd of April.

To be clear, I don't really mind people vibing & slopping around. I just would want to have a disclosure about it.

m1keil··on Real Linux. In a browser tab. No install. No server. No Docker
Probably a slop of https://bellard.org/jslinux/
m1keil··on What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis
Why this has to be all or nothing?

You can use the drug to loose weight while trying to understand the underlying problem.

Isn't multiphase is Ubuntu only?
m1keil··on OpenRouter raises $113M Series B
Open as in single API layer which allows you to swap the model under it.

m1keil··on Delve – Fake Compliance as a Service
SOC2 is quite a racket on its own so I'm not surprised to read this industry creates players like this.

I hope that with LLMs, answering security questionnaires will be much less time consuming for companies and less would opt out to get a full blown SOC2 cert. But it will probably play the other way.

m1keil··on Kubernetes egress control with squid proxy
Pragmatic and practical. I learned something, thanks.

Ok, wait, why?

m1keil··on Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s
They had quite a few release in the last year so it's not dead that's for sure, but unclear how many new customers they are able to sign up. And with IBM in charge, it's also unclear at what moment they will loose interest.
m1keil··on Uncloud - Tool for deploying containerised apps across servers without k8s
Looks lovely.. I'll definitely will give it a try when time comes.

Nomad is great, but you will still end up with a control plane.
