razster··on Claude Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
First thing that came to mind. I imagine this has cross their minds to.
razster··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Right, with the amount of data these models are trained on, somewhere someone may have solved it and it was in some obscure text/page no one looked at or care about. We'll probably never know.
razster··on Why is Google still serving dodgy ads?
I've been on the same crusade, reporting all the scam/fake-ai/misinformation ads as possible, when a couple weeks ago they changed how you report. The ad will still play through as you're reporting it, and once finished reporting it still remains and you may see it again after a few swipes (YTShorts). It feels like they did this so they could get the money before removing it.
razster··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Still not going for it. Once I learned I can train Qwen3.8 27B with my style of writing/grammar. Also more succinct. I cannot force myself to Claude or OpenAI outputs anymore. Its too much. Honestly don't think I will ever go back to paid.
razster··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
I've been using ComfyUI to do fine background and watermark removal. Might take a look into that as an alternative. Run Flux.2 Klein or Comfyui's own workflow.
razster··on Ornith-1.5: From Self-Scaffolding to Self-Improvement
I've had great success with allowing the model to review optimal settings and my system specs. It comes up with the right configuration. Running Pi harness. I just had Ornith 1.5 take a moment to configure itself, now it's reviewing a large project I'm working on, so far its really impressive for my needs. Qwen3.8 27b Unsloth(Dynamic 3.0) is also perfect. These two are working together, and I'm in a sweet-spot, I now have all I need.

razster··on ChatGPT lost 22 points of web share in a year
I've been using Gemini as an advance search engine. Their main search with AI isn't that useful but Gemini is. They're the only AI online I will use and just for searching/compiling. For work/development it is Qwen3.8. Then again now that I found out Pi has a web search function I've been using Gemini less and less.
razster··on Sonic Pi v5
Sweet. Going to make Pi help make Pi music. Just have to vibe code some method but this will be enjoyable.
razster··on Mark Zuckerberg attacks 'closed' AI rivals as Meta returns to open models
I'll never allow anything related by META to touch my system/workflow. They're a cancer and I will stick to that. I see 0 good from this.
razster··on Mark Zuckerberg attacks 'closed' AI rivals as Meta returns to open models
This can be said for a lot of different matters. Reading this gave me some Déjà vu vibes. My personal take, I don't see this as a good thing. Yes I dislike META with a passion and will refuse to use this model or allow it in any of my workflows. So I guess I may never know, which I'm ok with that.
razster··on Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't
Slowly killing my lawn. Red bud trees will soon forest my property.
razster··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
Thank you, that is very useful for my use case. Pi has transformed so much of my daily task, this will boost it a bit more. Much appreciated.
razster··on MiniMax H3 Day-0 Support in ComfyUI: Open Weights, Native Audio, and 2K Video
Worth if you plan to use it for production use. If you use it for personal or as mockup, then what they don't know won't hurt them? ;)
razster··on MiniMax H3 Day-0 Support in ComfyUI: Open Weights, Native Audio, and 2K Video
That would be the prompt. With the right assistance from Qwen3.5/Ornith I was able to achieve some amazing results. Unfortunately due to their licensing I'm not allowed to use it in the USA, so I had to halt testing.
razster··on Qwen3.8-Max: A New Bar for Coding and Cowork
I would recommend looking into Ornith1.0 - it's using Qwen3.6 35B-A3B and excels in coding, at least for my coding needs, Python, web-dev, SQL scripting and some C#. Using Pi harness.
razster··on Seedance 2.5
This. I'm very much happy to see minimax-h3 be released. I have so many projects that I have on the back burner that I could complete within minutes instead of hours and hours. "Typography, UI, and Graphics".
razster··on Seedance 2.5
Going to be a wild future that is for sure. I can see many ways this will go, some not so good.
razster··on Claude Opus 5
I feel you. I dig this and enjoyed those types of aesthetics. Back in the day this was my bread and butter, designing UI design for games and apps. I just realized AI (Specifically Pi+Ornith) can help with my ideas... So excited.

I'm hella interested in finding out what website builder/diagram app was used. I dig the dark theme/grid.

razster··on Claude Opus 5
I really like that design. May I ask the name of the website builder/diagram? Is it Relume?
razster··on Show HN: Bento - An entire PowerPoint in one HTML file (edit+view+data+collab)
Would it be possible to use your mouse to slide, pan left and right instead of using the direction keys? Assuming it is touch enabled? Just wondering.
razster··on Running Gemma 4 26B at 5 tokens/sec on a 13-year-old Xeon with no GPU
I sense the same. Running Ornith 35b with Pi and hitting 50+toks, and now that I learned Pi can do search and fetch, I have not needed to visit any of the large models as a search function. Soon we will be seeing new models drop this month and next that will change some of the landscape. Exciting times. P.s. Try Ornith, well worth it.
razster··on GPT‑Live
You can using chatterbox and a couple voice to voice models. Sorry I don’t recall the whole process but you can YouTube Star Trek computer voice AI.
razster··on I Think I Have LLM Burnout
Even with Fabel and all that I constantly keep having to babysit it and correct it like it’s an adolescent and it gets really old and the amount of code. It produces not all of its great at all. I’m burnt out looking at. It’s poor coating that somehow magically works.
razster··on Costco is the anti-Amazon
And the kicker is that this could be an ai-agent doing the astroturfing. Now that even the common man can run local ai-agents that can post.
razster··on Bring back crappy forums
I'm still connecting once in a while to a local (dialup)BBS that has been running since 1994, no growth but we're still keeping in touch. Same for a forum I frequent from time to time, since 2001. I've recently deactivated my IG, FB, and Reddit accounts, pretty much every mainstream social media platform. The censorship is beyond ridiculous.
razster··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Thanks for sharing that. I have the same card but 96gb ram. I use PI.dev to connect to LM-Studio. I may have to switch away from LM-studio if I can improve token speed. I think I range from 32-40t/s. qwen3.6-35b-a3b-genesis-v2-apex-mtp.
razster··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
I'm running it on my 4070 12gb with 96gb mem, I'm very happy with the results even if I have to wait a couple minutes for results. To me this is far better than I expected and will continue to use it and improve with skills.md. Pi.dev is amazing by the way.
razster··on Supreme Court upholds broad conception of birthright citizenship
Sorry but I wanted to see a 9-0... There are 3, 4, that are just ignoring the constitution from what I read/saw. It is only a matter of time. A win for now but that is for now.
razster··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
This explains why I've been running into some odd roadblocks. Welp that sealed the deal, I'm going to be cancelling our company sub, not worth it.
