permalac··on Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament
Something similar happened in Spain with Podemos.

Turns out those who never worked in hard jobs don't value them as needed

permalac··on Why the Rich Are Getting Richer and the Poor Are Further Removed from Prosperity
Please, I'm. Missing the point you are making. But I feel I should understand.
permalac··on Talorys – A self-hosted personal AI agent on Cloudflare's free tier
You should have the option to host it at home. Then you may choose to host in a vps. Must be vendor agnostic.
permalac··on AI-ready biological data: $1.8B global commitment
To avoid suspension I was thinking of something similar driven by Github issues, pr and a skill people would load and run.
permalac··on In Vienna and Beijing, the first (thorium) nuclear clocks begin to tick
Bananas.
permalac··on Sonnet 5.5
Question for the Àgora.

Is there any tool which allows for one model from Anthropic to call subagents or dynamic workflows using other providers?

How does one create a swarm of agents from different providers and get them to talk to each other, or otherwise hand over pieces of work to one another while being able to check that offloaded work status?

permalac··on Sonnet 5.5
I would not say I care, but I do have curiosity. I expect one day they will start adding some textures or something like that.
permalac··on Two-tier encryption in the UK
You may be confused, so I'll try to illustrate the situation.

Supose you live in USA, your chickens have a list of laws, those laws apply to USA. If you try to sell those chickens in UK or Europe you'll find that your company will not be allowed to operate, and if you continue someone will go to jail.

Maybe digital products have an easy way out, but apple is not digital and they may need to find a way to comply.

What kind of people work on things like these?
permalac··on The Harness Is the Thing
Us fable to help you with the transition.
permalac··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
Could you share the proxy and config ? This sounds good.
permalac··on Ten Ways NAS Is Getting Enshitified
I bought a plastic tower for disks which let's me have 10 disks with some space between them. I then bought some Artic fans and attached them with tape to the 'tower'. Then I used a 11 years old optiplex 990 as Debian zfs connected to 8 of the disks, and I have 2 spares which I'll be able to use when the others die.

Performance is great. I could do it because I was given those disks for free, with plenty of ours on each of them.

I know companies paying for AI and not training people to use it, so spending is higher than usage on those.
permalac··on Government orders GitHub to remove Bluetooth-based chat app Bitchat: Jack Dorsey
Very similar argument to those who want to ban encryption.

Why do you need to encrypt your network traffic with ssl, is you have nothing to hide....

permalac··on Airbus Takes Flight from AWS
Midterm may accelerate the process.
permalac··on Grok Build is open source
Pretty easy.

Nazi salute. Supporting all nazi and far right movements in Europe, publicly. Inventing DOGE so he could fire judges and pave his way out of trouble.

Yes. Is easy to see why some hate him, for life.

permalac··on The Tower Keeps Rising
Shall we be concerned that not many are even able to read assembler code? I'm not talking about reading machine code, produced by the assembler, but the assembler code itself.

Machine code was hard, but one could make it pretty efficient. Not efficiently.

Assembler was still pretty performant, for today's standard it is tip top.

So, moving on 10, 20 years from now, can someone read c++? Even html?

permalac··on The Tower Keeps Rising
All have its space. Small team, do monolith or you'll stop moving. Big teams, be wary of Conway's law, and don't fight it, probably some services will emerge.
permalac··on Apple's new SpeechAnalyzer API, benchmarked against Whisper and its predecessor
Hey. Yes. I did vive code one as an exercise yo learn how to publish to apple store.

Listen and transcribe felt like the easiest thing to do.

Distavo.com

The source is open for anyone to use, and the builds are in github.

I found quite interesting that claude didn't help too much on how to publish to SetApp until Fable.

Is that the nvidia spark?
permalac··on Why developers are ditching GitHub for Codeberg and self-hosting alternatives
Similar with forgejo. I mirrored all gh then flipped the ones I was using the most. The biggest win was on running apple runners in my mac, so the free gh actions can do other stuff.
permalac··on We made Grok 4.5, GPT-5.5, and Claude build the same apps
Having 'local runable' to compare would be awesome. For example I have a 48G MacBook.
permalac··on Espionage Against the European Parliament
The catalan MEPs also were targeted with Pegasus, and I don't remember the details but at that time the only client were nation states, so Spain was the one to hire the service. Nothing happened.

Nothing has been learnt from Cambridge analitica?

Is our society this simple?

permalac··on TikTok disproportionately served anti-Democratic videos during the 2024 election
Why is not relevant?

He hosts, he decides, he buys.

Are we so naive that one can think stakeholders are not involved in decision making?

He had more decision power than most shareholders ever will.
