nullbio··on 10 Tells of a Slop UI
OAI's models are notorious for it and always have been.

This hurts my eyes. There's no contrast.
nullbio··on Fakecloud: Local AWS cloud emulator for integration tests
Agreed. Azure would be nice. Something that can work with Terraform too.

I'm sorry Tom. They were clearly trying to get a rise out of me, but I shouldn't have bitten. I'll refrain from engaging in the future.

Point well taken.

Because it's not a real argument. It's a deflection people use.

You didn't answer the question.

Do you not know how media works in the 21st century? They're republishing from UK sources. It was just the first hit on the SERPs because they have better SEO. Go find the original sources if you really want to. The point is that your country is putting people in prison for the dumbest reasons, and you apparently see no issue with it.

The fact that you're quite clearly either ill-informed, or blinded by your own biases. I'm not sure why you keep mentioning this Graham person when I had never mentioned them. Seems like you're trying to reframe using a cherry-picked example.

Do you think someone should be arrested for sharing a meme that says f** Hamas? Or did you not know about this?

It's common knowledge that the UK is arresting people on the daily for harmless things that no one actually cares about. Should someone go to jail for saying "fuck serial killers"? Is that a hate crime too?

So this is normal in your eyes?

nullbio··on Two-tier encryption in the UK
I'm not actually. How did you get "arrested for tweets" from my post where I said it was a video of a 20-something year old having a debate with someone at a pub?

I'll take that as confirmation that it happens all the time though - since this was evidently not an isolated case, as you have pointed out.

nullbio··on Stripe's Knowledge AI Platform
FWIW I do think this is a cool project for Stripe's internal management. I was more-so speaking generally in regard to B2C and B2B. Would have been nice to get some technical details though - the article didn't really say much.
nullbio··on Stripe's Knowledge AI Platform
It sure feels like companies have lost their way now. It's no longer about high polish and quality, and all about volume of features. I don't think users want to be overwhelmed with features, they want things that work nicely, and consistently.

It's night and day difference, for 3 days, until Anthropic nerf the model.
nullbio··on Anthropic classifiers prohibit kernel development
They're sugar coating it. They've been nerfing AI research and development for years now. Their claim that it's only "certain ML accelerators" is a bold-faced lie, coming from the company that lies incessantly.
nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
So I should look forward to the day I see my Reddit feed free of r/Fauxmoi propaganda? Or does Reddit get a free pass like it has with age verification? Because we're still able to browse Reddit without an account, for starters. They had a popup that it required an account to browse for about a week, then they reverted back to allowing everyone to browse without one because they lost too many viewers.

But this also highlights a greater problem: If you're allowing people to browse social media platforms without accounts, what algorithm applies in that case? Is that the government curated feed? Or is that the rage-bait feed designed to spur engagement and sign-ups?

nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
I think you meant to say: We intended on electing a central-left government, and got a far-left Fabian government.
nullbio··on US criticises Australia's proposed algorithm opt-out laws as 'censorship'
By opt-out they mean opt-in to a government curated algorithm, no doubt.
nullbio··on OpenAI is well positioned to fast-follow Jev
There are already open-weight versions of Jev that are equal or better performance, and can run on regular hardware. It took people 24 hours to create them. OAI could create Jev in a day if they wanted to.
nullbio··on Claude Opus 5.5
So stop using their models. The more money you give them, the more you are voting for this.
nullbio··on Claude Opus 5.5
I'm sure it's a good model, but I can't in good conscience sign up to Anthropic again given how they behave. What a shame.

Oh sweet, free backlinks. Thanks for the SEO.
nullbio··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I probably wouldn't be able to for data privacy reasons unfortunately, unless it's using an open-weight model (if it is, let me know). But I wish you the best of luck!
nullbio··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I use reusable components but the issue is that the model rarely checks to see if a component already exists. Or it will use the wrong one. Or if the component strays from the reusable component it doesn't extend it in a generalized way and will special case inline styles, or it'll create a new component. Rarely does it intelligently figure out the correct course of action.

I've also built up a suite of linter rules to catch the same mistakes the model makes over and over. Still, there are a lot of gaps. I think it's mostly because my codebase is massive at this point. It was easy when the codebase was small and didn't require context gathering to make good decisions.

Corruption hates archives.

I think a great use case for these will be when they have large context windows and are able to enforce styling rules for frontend development, and component creation rules for react. You can then ditch the styles guides and styling skills and create a decision tree for enforcing styling, so that you can't run into drift issues or duplication issues. That's where I'm wasting most of my time right now, constantly correcting all of the UX/UI issues that are created for every single feature.
nullbio··on Samsung is expected to more than double output of its HBM4 and HBM4E DRAM
Will consumers actually get to purchase it though? Or are they just doubling it for frontier AI labs?

nullbio··on I am often wrong
It's because it's some weird form of virtue signalling/humble brag. Nothing genuine about it.
nullbio··on I am often wrong
Anthropic never listens to their customers or community. It's basically their culture at this point.
