nunodonato··on Goodbye Claude, Hello Pi
which one uses Go?
nunodonato··on Ask HN: What's your current AI agentic setup?
Work: we rent our own GPU and have our own model(Q3.8-FN), so... free tokens :D We use OpenCode as a harness

Personal: OpenCode with my Deepseek API account.

Usually I do everything inside Herdr

nunodonato··on Astra can read and write weights to improve Qwen
what would be the viability of a model changing its weights and using genetic algorithms to try to achieve something novel, even without understanding exactly which weights need changing?
nunodonato··on The Folders Programming Language
This is so nuts and pointless... I love it!

The kind of thing no AI would ever come up with :)

nunodonato··on Thinking will become a hobby
that's why local AI is so important, and open-weight models
nunodonato··on Thinking will become a hobby
maybe the significant difference is that this time robotics will not be limited by humans. AI can iterate faster and develop better, adaptable, robotics
nunodonato··on Ask HN: What do you run on a $5 VPS that's worth keeping online 24/7?
My blog/website, my tiny code experiments, my ai agent.
nunodonato··on Decisions API is in public beta
isn't 27b too big (slow) for a decision model? I think they should be as fast as possible
nunodonato··on JetBrains reports revenue growth, net financial loss for 2025
I don't touch AWS. We rent from an european provider. Demand can be tricky for serverless/spot-pricing. We have an always-on server so, no issues.
nunodonato··on JetBrains reported a net financial loss first time in its tracked history
we use that same model at our company, it powers not only our devs but also many business needs. We rent 1 gpu (B300), it costs around 10x less than the api costs
nunodonato··on My Productivity System in 2026
Last time I wrote about my productivity system was back in 2022. Today I felt like writing an update on how I’m managing it, because a lot of things have changed. Funny enough, that last article was published on the 18th of September 2022. Some sort of strange 4-year cycle going on!
nunodonato··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
Loved netscape navigator! That entire suite with mail, website builder (composer?)
nunodonato··on Android 17 is the first since 3.x to add new APIs without releasing to the AOSP
Mosaic :P
nunodonato··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
yay! /s

Why are people still putting up with this kind of attitude, especially when there are so many good alternatives available?

nunodonato··on Tiny League – compare small LLMs easily
ahh I missed that first table. thanks, fixed it :)
nunodonato··on Tiny League – compare small LLMs easily
hey thanks a lot for the feedback!

1. works fine for me, are you sure you don't have any other filters active that might result in 0 models?

2. good idea, a few people have requested that. It becomes a little bit more difficult when models have engrams, but I will consider!

3. There are some tools to do that, I personally don't like them. I understand the convenience but I am staying away from that. There are many factors at play, not all models work the same way, even if they use the same VRAM. Not to speak of using quants and how each quant may affect a model differently

nunodonato··on Tiny League – compare small LLMs easily
Hi folks! I love running local small models, but it's quite annoying to attempt to compare them using benchmarks. Not only are they scattered around, they often don't even share the same ones.

So I built Tiny League for those of use who care about small models. By small, I'm aiming at 3-200B, which is a range that I consider both capable and able to run at home (for those who have unified memory like mac, strix or spark)

I'm limiting the model list to models released after April and excluding models that are trained for specific use-cases.

Appreciate all sorts of feedback :)

nunodonato··on Eating Fruit Skins
that's genetic modification for you. nature doesn't make seedless fruits
nunodonato··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
yes, please. Especially now that xcancel is gone
nunodonato··on Microduck
climbing stairs was my first question. But looking at its size, I dont think it will be able to
nunodonato··on The Harness Is the Thing
Kimi K3 is amazing
nunodonato··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
wow, what kind of stuff does that script do? I've seen non-vision models analyze images, but mostly histograms, color averages etc. This one seems to actually understand the image itself and reproduce the layout, very impressive
nunodonato··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)
this is really cool!
nunodonato··on The old-school way of keeping the summer heat out of your home
nice of you to think that by evening you get cooler air :D we have had days where the only time of the day where the outside temp was lower than indoor's was between 01-07. So either you stay up to open the windows, or wait till early morning... but then you just get 1-2 hrs before having to close everything again
nunodonato··on An ESP32 based plane radar for my desk
yeah, I've been dying to do something with ESP32, but still waiting for that idea. Something with eInk displays :D
nunodonato··on Hannah Fry Wins the Leelavati Prize in 2026 for Mathematics Outreach
I love her gigglyness :D
nunodonato··on Laguna S 2.1
unsloth is always here to save the day https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Laguna-S-2.1-GGUF
nunodonato··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
are these bad actors here in the room with us?
nunodonato··on Corners Don't Look Like That: Regarding Screenspace Ambient Occlusion (2012)
Not to disagree with you, but I've noticed that many people have very little clue about what nature looks like. I see that in CGI/games a lot, trees, clouds, atmosphere, grass, moon... totally wrong from what actually happens in the world. But it looks good! :D
nunodonato··on Kimi Work
if you have an API key, its as easy as configuring any other model/provider
