nullbyte··on A sustainable web career, for when all this blows over
ok, the politics sections is a bit much lol
nullbyte··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
The intelligence difference between models like DS4.1 and Sol/Opus is NOT negligible.
nullbyte··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
Love this, very cool.

I used to use a service called ngrok for this, but it's nice that Cloudflare is offering one now.

nullbyte··on Memory prices climb 500% in 12 months
CXMT is a memory fab that just opened in China. They achieved a 90% yield on DDR5. Hopefully that could ease up the supply squeeze.
nullbyte··on DeepSeek V4 Pro 0813
Even though cost-per-token is low, Deepseek v4 tends to burn an immense number of tokens to accomplish tasks.
nullbyte··on After AI Takes Everything
Great article
nullbyte··on DaVinci Resolve 21
Face search? What do you mean?
nullbyte··on Warm up your MacBook (2019)
sanest emacs user
nullbyte··on Get your passwords out of Bitwarden while you still can
Since Bitwarden is open source, can't somebody create a community-driven fork? Maybe a self hosted option?
nullbyte··on Stable Audio 3
"We also support inpainting, enabling targeted audio editing and the continuation of short recordings."

I didn't know there were models for that. Very cool!

nullbyte··on GPT-5.5
82.7% on Terminal Bench is crazy
nullbyte··on Anthropic says OpenClaw-style Claude CLI usage is allowed again
I guess it depends if you are working on something important to national security. Especially corporate codebases, etc.
nullbyte··on Anthropic says OpenClaw-style Claude CLI usage is allowed again
Does that include OpenCode? That's what I care about most and it's the primary reason I've been sticking with OAI the past few months.
nullbyte··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing open-source coding
Anthropic doesn't, but Google and OAI both release open source models. Just not 1T parameter ones.
nullbyte··on Google releases Gemma 4 open models
Last paragraph made me chuckle
nullbyte··on Active Supply Chain Attack on axios 1.14.1
npm security team has removed the offending package: https://github.com/axios/axios/issues/10604#issuecomment-415...

new installs should be safe now

nullbyte··on Show HN: Gemini can now natively embed video, so I built sub-second video search
What a brilliant idea! is this all done locally? That's incredible.
nullbyte··on Run a 1T parameter model on a 32gb Mac by streaming tensors from NVMe
I am curious how the TPS compares vs default OS virtual memory paging
nullbyte··on Hardening Firefox with Anthropic's Red Team
I always enjoy reading Anthropic's blogposts, they often have great articles
nullbyte··on Claude is an Electron App because we've lost native
They did something to Settings after MacOS Monterey that made it very slow. I miss the snappiness of the old app!
nullbyte··on We Will Not Be Divided
"He will not divide us!"
nullbyte··on Amazon Ring's lost dog ad sparks backlash amid fears of mass surveillance
I'm afraid that ship has sailed
nullbyte··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
I specifically do not use the CN/SG based original provider simply because I don't want my personal data traveling across the pacific. I try to only stay on US providers. Openrouter shows you what the quantization of each provider is, so you can choose a domestic one that's FP8 if you want
nullbyte··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
GLM 5 beats Kimi on SWE bench and Terminal bench. If it's anywhere near Kimi in price, this looks great.

Edit: Input tokens are twice as expensive. That might be a deal breaker.

nullbyte··on Qwen3-Coder-Next
Protip for Mac people: If OpenCode looks weird in your terminal, you need to use a terminal app with truecolor support. It looks very janky on ANSI terminals but it's beautiful on truecolor.

I recommend Ghostty for Mac users. Alacritty probably works too.

nullbyte··on Valve reveals it’s the architect behind a push to bring Windows games to Arm
Yooo this is awesome, maybe we will finally get some game support on Macs now
nullbyte··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
I find pnpm annoying to type, that's why I don't use it
nullbyte··on Apple M5 chip
Thankfully I think libraries like Pytorch abstract this stuff away. But it seems very convoluted if you're building something from the ground up.
nullbyte··on Prefix sum: 20 GB/s (2.6x baseline)
This code looks like an alien language to me. Or maybe I'm just rusty at C.
nullbyte··on Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores
I am very curious how GPU performance will be, especially for AI tasks
