If we just don't talk about the blatant racism, the nazi salute, or that rampage about removing brown people from jobs they didn't deserve, it might stop being such a huge problem. Sure buddy.

Yeah, twitter is doing great. /s
sixothree··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
Does anyone know if you can link multiples of these together for a single large model?
sixothree··on MS Paint and Photos inivisibly watermark even locally generated output with GUID
I was thinking any photo created with a camera should be signed. Why we don't have that in 2026 is beyond me.

But what you're talking about is the generative aspect of these photos likely expanding over time. We're seeing that today with the ultra zoom features on some cameras regenerating objects (and especially text). Without the user doing anything the phone will generatively fill in detail, most worryingly text and people. Then there's the Samsung moon issue - taking a photo of a pixelated printout of the moon caused Samsung phones to generate a new image of the moon.

I think it would be nice if all cameras digitally signed pictures. You could prove the photo was real.
sixothree··on FCC abolishes gigabit speed goal
Gigabit is $20/mo in other places. What's your point exactly?
sixothree··on Felony charges for citizen deleting phone data at US Border
Messages and email they could have gotten with a warrant. Everything on this phone was obtainable with a warrant.
sixothree··on Why aren't smart people happier? (2022)
For me it's the lack of curiosity that makes me resentful of people. I can understand completely people are clueless about maths. But having no curiosity about anything seems to be so common in this country right now.
sixothree··on FCC abolishes gigabit speed goal
If gigabit was the baseline, you wouldn't have to pay extra. You're not saving money.

I do this for different reasons. I just don't want every site knowing when I'm logged in and using my computer, which computer that is, and whatever else information they're grabbing all day.

sixothree··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
It's gotten me out of a few sticky merges by examining history and providing information about why changes were done.
sixothree··on Ask HN: GitHub employees what's going on? Why?
The alternatives exist but aren't exactly stellar. Otherwise I think this thread would be filled with recommendations.
sixothree··on The Road to MS-DOS 2.0
And it included a cassette interface.
sixothree··on NIH is ending a key grant for budding clinical researchers
If I had been told a foreign adversary had broadly infiltrated our government at the highest levels, I would have a hard time differentiating between that and what is currently happening.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is malice.
sixothree··on Ntfy – open-source Push to Mobile
Very nice. Thank you. I am not super concerned but I know people here tend to be.

> No one actually cares about the politics as long as the model codes well.

I do. There are enough models to choose from that I don't need to use one from a guy who did a nazi salute at the presidential podium, and proceeded to rid our government of brown people he felt didn't deserve their job.

sixothree··on Ntfy – open-source Push to Mobile
Incredibly useful to give any app the ability to send you a notification with a single line of code or shell.

Only one minor caveat for self-hosted iOS users - content of the messages come from your server, but the trigger still comes from ntfy.sh server.

sixothree··on Grok 4.6
I can't bring myself to even try it. The guy did a salute on stage then spent billions of dollars on a mission to root out brown people who "didn't deserve" the position they were in. I feel gross just accidentally clicking links to x.
sixothree··on New Bedford police officer accused of using Flock cameras to track ex-partner
There was a time when you could paste a reddit username into an online tool and it would build a profile of the person in question. And when I came across one of these "if you have nothing to hide..." people, I did just that. After I asked them how the weather was and how their dog was doing they deleted their account. Lightweights.

Celebrities get special treatment in hospitals built into pretty much all EHR software. Names are obfuscated, while searches and views get instantly flagged. I highly suspect the same thing exists here.
sixothree··on Nvidia Nemotron 3.5 Lightning and NeMo Switchyard
I fear the future of local models will be controlled by governments. I feel like some time soon there's going to be a crackdown on what is available to download, what is hostable, and what is "acceptable". I partially suspect it has something to do with why 128 GB seems to be the most you can currently purchase for a single machine, despite the price.
sixothree··on How Claude marks AI-generated content
Comments seem most plausible, especially since I absolutely expect it to match my code style, existing architecture, and have the code go through CSharpier and dotnet format after the fact.

edit: as an aside - I actually use extensions to collapse comments and change the color to be less intrusive.

sixothree··on Plug-In Solar Panels Starting to Sprout in U.S. Backyards
Anyone have good suggestions for stands for 2-4 panels?
sixothree··on Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength
I've had nothing but trouble with Mouse Without Borders on my Surface Pro. I let ChatGPT loose to try and find the reason. It found some wifi power settings that affected it and some other stuff. Those fixed some issues but I was still getting disconnects. It found some events in the event viewer, connected them to an open github issue. So I had it download the code and fix the issue. It eventually fixed two separate issues. And I had it replace the installed MWB with the compiled one on system startup. Things seem to be working great.

Also, nothing sucks like Mouse Without Borders holy heck.

And was able to record video without his phone.
sixothree··on Taylor Farms has rewritten its cyclospora statement four times in sixteen days
To be fair to whom exactly? The organization tasked with disease protection and which claims they exist for "saving lives"?
sixothree··on AirLLM 70B inference with single 4GB GPU
Not an answer to your question, but maybe this has more info? I think with these optimizations and quants, it compares negatively. But can these optimizations be applied to models you want? Another question. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48353348
sixothree··on Google cancels AI Studio app after 800k preorders
I have a saying about google products - they are not allowed to exist if they cannot capture data in a way that is unique to that specific application.

Where did I imply that?
