nicce··on US agency approves Amazon Leo’s $11.5B acquisition of Globalstar
> How did they not become spacex/starlink

You need to go big first with the rockets.

If you have the rockets, everything else is easy later on. Collect millions from others to launch the satellites in the meantime.

nicce··on Code-execution flaw in UEFI firmware threatens most servers on planet Earth
> admit it because it meant more work and that their past existing work was shite.

And that is why it is now more usable. More affordable.

nicce··on Code-execution flaw in UEFI firmware threatens most servers on planet Earth
"Popular" usually means that supporting many use cases. Many use cases means a lot of code. Probably means increased complexity. Tailored hyperspecific firmware is much more usable now and maybe you can even formally verify it.

You can technically send then all the time and it is enough that they boot once. No need to know the time beforehand.
nicce··on Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet
This looks great. Quite new one, hopefully will be maintained.
nicce··on Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet
Thanks. I am already using this, it seems to be the best so far. But I feel something is still missing from there by the usability aspect. It also uses NextJS which I don't know what to think about...
nicce··on Stalwart v1.0: The Fastest Mail Server on the Planet
I just wish there would be more pure JMAP email clients. But maybe soon!
nicce··on Anthropic S-1
> Personally, I do expect SpaceX to face consequences in the years to come.

Probably only and only when AOC or someone else from Bernie's camp gets to be president. Otherwise, unlikely.

nicce··on JetBrains Thinkrail
I even forgot that it exist. I tried it many times but it was not good enough. Eventually I switched to Zed since that was better. Probably Zed killed it.

Some repo owners just review code that others submit, and don't write anything themselves. If the review process stays the same, does it matter? The fault is not generating the code with AI, rather, with faulty review process or not caring about the code, or not reading it. A different problem.
nicce··on OpenAI and Anthropic cut their LLM prices by up to 80% within a few months. Why?
Based on translating their Chinese text on Firefox, it says "per card":

> The current service throughput of a single cluster is 155 trillion tokens per day, and the overall revenue is $38 per hour (at the lowest price) per card.

With Kagi translate (best), it says GPU

> A single cluster currently serves 155 trillion tokens per day, generating overall revenue of $38 per GPU per hour (at off-peak electricity rates).

It is not even Russia in this case. Just look what Meta and Trump and friends have been doing

What are the benefits of jj if in the end everything is still on git backend?
nicce··on Root shell on Samsung TV
And probably OLED or something close to that
nicce··on Samsung running a TensorFlow lite model on 960x540 image to track you
Without an account, you can’t even properly use your freezer
nicce··on Samsung TV privacy issues
The main issue is that the attention economy and social pressure are so hard to break. People keep using WhatsApp because it is convenient and everyone is there. There are no other reasons.
nicce··on fheroes2: A recreation of Heroes of Might and Magic II game engine
The best games when you were around 10-12 years old.
nicce··on No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector
> Or you build a cartel of apirin sellers to do some price fixing.

They are really trying to do that by getting that regulatory capture

nicce··on No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector
> 1) If a firm spends $99k on compute to replace a $100k engineer and produces 5x the output, how is that not a 5x increase in aggregate labor productivity?

I think they are saying that with 99k pure compute you are able replace 100k engineer with equal output. Or that is the goal of the AI companies. It is worse for them if you get more productivity.

nicce··on Node2Shell evolves to HTTP2Shell, blast radius affects many HTTP libs and apps
There is named entity in the end, and "we" statement. But yeah, I was speaking in general, not so specifically about this page. It is better than most who do this.
nicce··on No signs of AI payoff outside the tech sector
There is nothing I dislike more than people using AI to generate tens of pages in text and then expect people to read them, when they did not read them themselves.
nicce··on PHP Foundation 'under-funded' with one full-time staff member, director says
Some people also have tried the paid new feature prioritization where it later lands for everyone. I think it worked in some projects but project must have been really good otherwise.
nicce··on Node2Shell evolves to HTTP2Shell, blast radius affects many HTTP libs and apps
Not particularly referencing to this link, but usually severity is made more severe than it actually is. One kind of sensationalism is usually used.
nicce··on A practical guide to AI image generation, from diffusion to agents
Depends how much involment there is for the end result. Does using traditional, digital paint tools make people artists?

They excpect fame and may make things look worse than they are
nicce··on Hacker reverses Samsung TV, finds on-board AI listening OpenAI account suspended
It is great if you have enough RAM. I have enough to run it, but not enough for prefix cache. 27b is so much faster with long term tasks.
nicce··on ThinkRail from JetBrains
I don’t think particular project is great example for that.

> Whatever they know after training is all they'll ever know.

Feeding enough source material as context can absolutely make them better.

nicce··on Apple Security Research Device
By definition, it could be more secure if people actually would be able to inspect it. Is it regardless the most secure? Hard to say. GrapheneOS is quite secure, probably more.
nicce··on Your Phone Is About to Stop Being Yours: 70 Days Until Lockdown
As a long time iOS user, I just switched to GrapheneOS as the lack of sideloading, after 8 years, became too much pain.
