northzen··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
It's like the sudden change of a language style and its verbosity didn't happen recently.

To random words you pick and provide a sufficient amount of text to vary with random number without losing its meaning you need a text with high entropy.

northzen··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
It's watermarking.

This style provides a high entropy basis distribution, so they can from a bigger pool to pick from and phrases to watermark the sentence.

You have much bigger variation of this idiotic phrases and words, which states a simple fact in that sophisticated and twisted manner.

northzen··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Give me an example how would you watermark a single short sentence like "I like turtles"?
northzen··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
> As far as I know, anthropic aren't intrinsically motivated by watermarking (if anything it hurts sales, and seems indifferent to safety(?)) they're simply doing it to fulfill the EU obligations.

They are. They want to reduce the amount of LLM generated text they feed into their next model training.

Also, how would you watermark a sentence with just 3 words for an example? This exactly why it became so verbose.

northzen··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (July 2026)
I know Adel from a professional community, but I've followed his work for a while and it's the real thing. I would defenitely recommend him if you are looking into programmer who is deep into compilers and RUST. On top of that he is also agile, curious guy, who had a chance to play with various technologies.
northzen··on PyTorch Landscape
Hi!

I'm curious to hear about your work geometric optics with PyTorch. May I ask you to share some examples of something you are working on right now?

northzen··on Making Julia as Fast as C++ (2019)
I think the best compromise would be to get the best of two words. By default perform bound checks, but have a compiler flag which skips it. Might broke many programs written with default behaviour in mind, but allow perform additional optimizations.
northzen··on A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro
Hi ziotom! I wonder about you work in 3D Cifford Algebras. May you share some links to the research you do? I also have interest in this topic I research on my own.

Just in case if you don't want to disclose your name my email is northzen@gmail.com

northzen··on How I write software with LLMs
To machine. It just easier to be polite by default than split our language into two forms "I speak to human" and "I speak to machine". Because the chat interface is really close to what we see when we speak to human. Well, exactly the same.
northzen··on AI generated music barred from Bandcamp
> It's about the fact that AI can be used to extract value from other artists' work without consent, and then out-compete them on volume by flooding the marketplace.

What do you think about The Prodigy?

northzen··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
Use pixi (whici is build with uv) and use its "global". It should solve what you wanted to solve: https://pixi.sh/dev/global_tools/introduction/
northzen··on I ditched Docker for Podman
Use pixi or uv to maintain this specific environment and separate it from the global one
northzen··on PYX: The next step in Python packaging
Why don't you use pixi, which has the best from these worlds?
northzen··on PYX: The next step in Python packaging
Why don't you use pixi?
northzen··on xAI to pay telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app
One day you will discover Internet and how advantageous it is for scammers and malware authors.

Wtf is this argument even about? Knife is advantageous for robbers. Phone calls are advantageous for scammers.

Your existence is advantageous for many malicious agents.

So what?

northzen··on xAI to pay telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app
I heard that Internet on its own is a home of underage media, drug deals and Russian hackers. I guess we need to rant about it also, right?
northzen··on xAI to pay telegram $300M to integrate Grok into the chat app
Still better and more feature rich than WA.
northzen··on Insomnia, Control
I used to observe the increased sensetivity to noise during my epresssion periods. Observe the same problems also with bright light. What may actually help here is psychologist / psychiatrist and therapy or medication. I'm not a doctor and maybe your problem not related to yours, but I just wanted to share the direction which helped me to decrease sound sensetivity.
northzen··on Why Scrum is stressing you out
But ones you are in company which does it right you start appreciate all good things it brings.

I haven't seen working communism though and never heard about it.

northzen··on We're Watching Facebook Die
Also instagram allow you to see your feed in chronological order. And if you reopen it you still can see all posts (except ad) in the same order and on the same place they were.
northzen··on The xz attack shell script
Also zig is a good example of not a scripting language which does this job.
northzen··on Pyenv – lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python
How about prefix then? https://prefix.dev/blog/uv_in_pixi
northzen··on Gender gap in tech jobs narrows across advanced economies
Simple.

Diversity is good. People who enforce it for the sake of diversity and build their careers around it are bad and essentially parasitic.

northzen··on Gender gap in tech jobs narrows across advanced economies
> However, I can speak to diversity being a huge win

For the sake of example, let's substitute diversity for wealth.

Wealth distributed equally and justly is good. People who feel they must control the distribution of wealth because of the injustice of the world are evil. And their practices are evil. And the actual implementation of those practices only leads to more injustice and evil.

Maybe I'm stupid but with the link opened I struggled to understand what musicaire does.
northzen··on Algebraic Topology for Data Scientists
Thank you!
northzen··on Homographies: Looking through a pinhole
I have the sad feeling that this article is reinventing what is already well described, in unambiguous and accepted terms. Here I see a reinvention of terms, meanings, notations, which will make it harder for those who will use it through third-party libraries or try to understand it more deeply. I tried to find anything available by a simple google search.... and couldn't find it.

Therefore, I will get what I had the good fortune to come across also outside the Internet:

[1] Lectures on 3D computer vision. Very rich, detailed, mathematically very accurate. The best one I ever saw on the topic

[2], [3] OpenCV documentation, including camera model and estimation of its position, mutual position of cameras

[4] Some good Standford lectures

[2] https://docs.opencv.org/4.x/d7/d53/tutorial_py_pose.html

northzen··on Algebraic Topology for Data Scientists
Can you give some hints or examples of TDA in 3D reconstructions and computer vision? I'm interested in this topic, espectially exploring it from topological view.
northzen··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (August 2023)
I'm a friend of this this guy, but he is to shy to write about what he does.

Latest jobs: 1. Development of low-latency platform for trading. Implementation of kernel bypass TCP/IP stack on top of DPDK + F-Stack + Rust.

2. Implementation of low-latency algorithms for HFT. Rust, WebSockets, gRPC.

Personal projects (you can see links in his resume): RSGC Concurrent garbage collection library for Rust (November 01, 2022 - March 03, 2023) Concurrent GC library written in Rust for Rust. Throughput and latency are comparable to that of HotSpot GCs like G1 or Shenandoah, outperforms .NET and Go garbage collectors.

b3-rs LLVM-like library for code generation A library for code generation based on B3 from WebKit. Supports generating x86_64 and RISC-V machine code out of the box.

northzen··on Ask HN: Any hardware startups here?
Yep. All products you see on the site you can actually. With Viking camera it is a bit more complicated process, but yes, you can order it too.
