radium3d··on Artemis II crew take “spectacular” image of Earth
Did they mount my Canon 7D to the outside? :D reminds me of the familiar grain haha
radium3d··on Nvidia DLSS 5 Delivers AI-Powered Breakthrough in Visual Fidelity for Games
The biggest problem I have with DLSS 5 is how it completely upends and ruins the dynamic lighting that the developers spend a huge amount of time perfecting to set the perfect mood for the scene.
radium3d··on Wikipedia was in read-only mode following mass admin account compromise
Back in the day people were all about languages like C that made it incredibly easy too.
radium3d··on Cloudflare crawl endpoint
Instead of "should have been an email" this is "should have been a prompt" and can be run locally instead. There are a number of ways to do this from a linux terminal.

``` write a custom crawler that will crawl every page on a site (internal links to the original domain only, scroll down to mimic a human, and save the output as a WebP screenshot, HTML, Markdown, and structured JSON. Make it designed to run locally in a terminal on a linux machine using headless Google Chrome and take advantage of multiple cores to run multiple pages simultaneously while keeping in mind that it might have to throttle if the server gets hit too fast from the same IP. ```

Might use available open source software such as python, playwright, beautifulsoup4, pillow, aiofiles, trafilatura

Pretty sure we've seen people coding in essentially every other programming language also shoot themselves in the foot.

PHP is insanely great, and very fast. The hate has no clout.
radium3d··on A case for Go as the best language for AI agents
Agents are language agnostic actually, I think "best" this "best" that is a little overboard.
radium3d··on A new California law says all operating systems need to have age verification
Yikes, these government folks just sign without even thinking or having a single clue about how the rule will work. They are completely irresponsible.
radium3d··on The Age Verification Trap: Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection
It's insanely dangerous to have so much data stored on so many servers that are inevitably not maintained.
radium3d··on Coding agents have replaced every framework I used
Nah, do you honestly think the thousands of sub-packages in your project are actually being maintained? False sense of security there.
radium3d··on Grid: Free, local-first, browser-based 3D printing/CNC/laser slicer
You're misunderstanding how websites work. You can install it locally on your computer and run it via localhost https://github.com/GridSpace/grid-apps
radium3d··on Microsoft forced me to switch to Linux
They don't get a free pass, I think people have spoken with their wallets and it shows with the user base counts: Windows 66–73%, macOS 14–16%, Linux 3–4%.

Apple seems to support their previous generation OS on older macs for ~8-9 years or so from what I've seen. You just don't get the latest generation features, they cut it off and move on similar to how Microsoft did.

radium3d··on After two years of vibecoding, I'm back to writing by hand
I actually haven't come across situation 1 2 or 3 mentioned in the attached video. Generally I iterate on the code by starting a new prompt with the code provided, with enhancements, or provide the errors and it repairs the errors. Generally it gets it within 1-2 iterations. No emotions. Make sure your prompts do not contain fluff, and are straight what you want the code to accomplish and how you want it to accomplish it. I've gone back to code months later and have not had what you described as being shocked about bad code, it was quite easy to understand. Are you prompting the AI to also write variables and function names logically and utilize a common coding standard for whichever type of code you are having it write, such as wordpress coding standards or similar? Perhaps claude isn't the best, I have been experimenting with grok 4.1 thinking and grok expert at the mid-level paid tier. I'll take it a step further and adjust the code myself, start a new prompt and provide that updated code along with my further requests as well. I haven't hit the road blocks mentioned.
radium3d··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
This is what happens when you make all the h100/h200/equivalent cards exclusive and lock them up in warehouses. We have no way of running these models locally… yet. Keyword is yet, the exclusivity period is going to end just like it did for 3D graphics when 3DFX democratized it with the voodoo cards. They’re only 300gb of memory and a chip ahead. It’ll shrink.
radium3d··on Apple is fighting for TSMC capacity as Nvidia takes center stage
This all is just spotlighting the weakness of NVIDIA, AMD, Apple, Microsoft, etc. They all avoided manufacturing in-house for so long and now they're fighting for fab time. Intel on the other hand is interesting...
radium3d··on AI coding assistants are getting worse?
The problem is everyone is using a different “level” of AI model. Experiences by those who can only afford or choose not to pay for the advanced reasoning are far worse than those who can and do pay.
radium3d··on BMW PHEV: Safety fuse replacement is extremely expensive
The majority of their cars (Y/3 models) have the penthouse (top) of battery pack super easily accessible from under the back seat, no need to drop a pack.

Not to mention Tesla has the best service mode system in their computer of any brand of all time. They also have the best free to owners assembly/disassembly manuals in the service portal https://service.tesla.com/. They have taken self-service literally to the next level compared to anything I've ever driven ICE, Hybrid or EV and I've owned all of them.

Ah I knew there was an explanation I couldn’t see, thanks!
radium3d··on Steam Deck lead reveals Valve is funding ARM compatibility of Windows games
May I ask how a post that was posted 2 hours before is a dupe?
radium3d··on India orders smartphone makers to preload state-owned cyber safety app
Is this going to be a requirement for BRICS member countries?
radium3d··on End of Japanese community
You need to think hard and understand that it is irreversible before you publish your content under certain licenses.

My problem with this type of gate keeping is that machine learning does open up translations that are accurate to the masses. It is quaint having a real human do your translations though. Kind of like having a real human drive your car or do your housework. Not everyone can afford that luxury. But, on the other hand, having a singular organization own the training data and the model and not publishing the model itself is where the gatekeeping continues.

radium3d··on California invests in battery energy storage, leaving rolling blackouts behind
I haven't had a rolling blackout in our particular grid in several years. The battery energy storage has been a great benefit. Our home battery energy storage system has been fantastic as well for localized unplanned outages.
radium3d··on China releases 'UBIOS' standard to replace UEFI
Very early days on this it seems. The released spec so far only being 64 pages, must just be a high level summary of their goals so far? Maybe we see it in use in 8-10 years? https://www.gccorg.com/article/69/426.html
radium3d··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
Lol :)
radium3d··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
Yeah, just double++ the cost to have a clone of all your systems. Worth it if you need to guarantee uptime. Although, it also doubles your exposure to potential data breaches as well.
radium3d··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
Once you've had an outage on AWS, Cloudflare, Google Cloud, Akismet. What are you going to do? Host in house? None of them seem to be immune from some outage at some point. Get your refund and carry on. It's less work for the same outcome.
radium3d··on Tinnitus Neuromodulator
Yeah, it just blends into the background for me, I've had it for decades. I blame the loud music as a kid.
radium3d··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
Gemini isn’t the best though, I’ve found it not nearly as good as grok
radium3d··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
It's interesting how profitable Tesla is despite the huge investments in their AI training infrastructure. They seem to be one of the best positioned companies that can maintain enough profitability to be able to afford their AI infrastructure without issue.
radium3d··on OpenAI and Nvidia announce partnership to deploy 10GW of Nvidia systems
Really curious how xAI is working out financially. Grok blows me away for coding.
