millerhooks··on Elon Musk (Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) [video]
He does a lot of ketamine and trip.
millerhooks··on Aliens Are Out There – But They Probably Don't Care About Us
I never understood the aliens as harvesters as a threat movie plot / Hawking logic. There is SO much stuff in space. All of the stuff. Why care about our stuff? Intergalactic highway imminent domain? Just chart a different course. There’s no reason other than to mess with us for fun like dolphins jacking with a pufferfish. I guess maybe I’ve stumbled onto a sci-fi short story idea.

millerhooks··on Vore: A minimal, no-bullshit web-based RSS/atom feed reader
Being provocative gets eyeballs. In this situation am I the chewer and the rss feed is the chewed? Which one of us is feeling aroused by it? The feeds? I hope it’s the feeds.
millerhooks··on Practical Tips for Finetuning LLMs Using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation)
I’ve been thinking about ways to compress information with ai for long distance transmission with LoRA radio for a while and now this LoRA in the news gets me all confused.
millerhooks··on Canonical Launches MicroCloud to Deploy Your Own "Fully Functional Cloud"
There are issues with the grvfs client that gets into a race condition with the disc volumes. It will saturate the max_connections and eat resources at idle. Not sure if this is your issue, I have yet to find a real solution other than uninstalling grvfs-backends and bumping the max user and connections. I got this workaround added to the charmed kubeflow QuickStart. It’s not the correct solution though and I’m pretty spent on the issue.
millerhooks··on Oink's Pink Palace
Oink was an absolute dream.
millerhooks··on Akka Edge: Unifying the Cloud and Edge
Hey me too. Just super soft launched last week and onboarded our first partners. Maybe we should talk, I like GIS, Robotics, and streaming environment rendering, not so much the multicloud/edge management piece but I've put a lot into make a nice experience breezy but I'd love to find a vendor partner.

gpugoo.com - ultra soft launch. Copy and images for the landing page aren't even done. Bit launch in a couple weeks with limited beta for a few things.

millerhooks··on Musks Strange Behaviour Related to Ketamine
The detox period from ketamine can induce manic psychosis and it can be invisible to a frequent user. I spent six or eight months daily using ketamine 20 years ago and mania became my constant companion towards the end.
millerhooks··on Why decline in generalists leads to disjointed games and harms tool quality
It’s REALLY hard to get employed as a generalist. I’m a generalist and it’s best not to let anyone know. It causes people to get competitive in these weird ways and managers don’t know what to do with it.
millerhooks··on Talos Linux – a minimal, hardened Linux distro for running Kubernetes
Cool. I needed this. Good job.
millerhooks··on Open-ribbon – A Project to reverse engineer the PS1 music game Vib-Ribbon
https://github.com/phoboslab/wipeout-rewrite hasn't gotten any flack and it's rewritten from the PC leak.
millerhooks··on Open-ribbon – A Project to reverse engineer the PS1 music game Vib-Ribbon
Whoa. This blew up! I’m working on a vibribbon like game and was curious about some of the internal workings and found your repo. I am interested in helping. I’ll come hang in your discord this weekend and see what I can help with.
millerhooks··on Show HN: Use your familiar Markdown editor to create and publish web pages
Nice. I totally am looking for that.

Why can't I post to custom domains. I've hand rolled something similar to this but this is pretty slick. I would have upgraded to a paid subscription if you let me point domains at it.
millerhooks··on DoNotPay – Your AI Consumer Champion
It’s all smoke and mirrors and doesn’t work at all. I’ve used it multiple times.

The scam caller card bounty thing is cool though.

millerhooks··on You can now use WebGPU in Cloudflare Workers
I’ve been working on and towards similar for nearly six years now. CloudFlare just eliminated so much stack complexity for me in one swoop and cleared a considerable amount of my todo list. Good work y’all!
millerhooks··on CRISPR silkworms make spider silk that defies constraints
They just collect the cocoons of the caterpillar. It’s already pretty industrialized. Farmers grow mulberry bushes and feed the worms and collect the pods. This would be no different. Just a slightly different worm.

People do it as a hobby at home and scaling it is a known process already scaled.

millerhooks··on CRISPR silkworms make spider silk that defies constraints
Lol. Yeah. That space elevator thing was funny.

“CRISPR modified silk worms produce threads made of buckyballs for space elevator”

It’s a fun thought I guess. You’d need a pretty massive crop of mulberry bushes.

millerhooks··on Leaked Wipeout source code leads to near-total rewrite and remaster
I needed this so bad. I love wipeout and have made a few hover racing game prototypes over the years. This is fantastic.
millerhooks··on Hypnic Jerk
To provoke thought. Hypnic jerk is fascinating. You want only tech blog spam?
millerhooks··on Ask HN: FOSS maintainers, what can you "sell" to sustain and earn a living?
Stump grinding services? A decent machine can be had for under $3000 can be towed by any vehicle and the planet just keeps making more stumps so there’s always one to grind.

Less dependency management than JS but they don’t run in docker.

millerhooks··on System Initiative has open sourced its collab DevOps tool
I got through the first half of the tutorial. I have a busy week but I was excited to see this. It’s right in line with tool I’ve been trying to cobble with distracted effort for nearly a decade. I am so excited to continue to use this tool. Y’all nailed it.
