Does high accuracy reduce battery life?
tacomagick··on I know why the mathematicians weep
Fear and FOMO mainly.
tacomagick··on OpenCode 2.0
Tasks can be backgrounded by the model you are using automatically. It is not just manual fyi
tacomagick··on Migrating to OpenCode 2.0
This whole update was horrible. The so called /update command failed to update from the latest version to v2, opencode upgrade also kept failing. I had to manually install it via NPX, and even then it kept hanging trying to start the background service. However after all these issues I believe the new changes are quite nice.
tacomagick··on Show HN: Boole-1.7B, a 1-bit LLM that outperforms Bonsai-1.7B
Honestly, a local model that can run on CPU with reasonable speeds and have a good tool call success rate would be great to have. Think about it, I carry my laptop everywhere with me but I don't enable my Nvidia graphics card because I want to be able to use it for more than 30 minutes. I would love to have a model that can quickly put calendar entries, create todo lists and expand upon my Obsidian notes via Web Search, but unfortunately I have to rely on third party providers to achieve this for the time being. I don't expect local 1 bit models to ever code or do complex tasks but basic tool calls and language functionality would be awesome to have fully offline everywhere.

Same as it is today?
tacomagick··on Ask HN: Are you a subscribed LLM or a locally deployed open-source model?
My organization provides free Gemini access, I use Deepseek myself. I have a Opencode Go subscription for the time being because it provides both ZDR with their agreement with Deepseek and 10$ of subscription turns to 60$ of credits for Deepseek as part of their release discount.

Oh I am serious!

The government, specifically Trump's government and the current money circle in AI inflating American company stocks. In addition to all that American models do not share their papers like Deepseek and Qwen do. So you can literally say Chinese models are doing it for charity at this point.
tacomagick··on Mistral Large 4
So is American models. They are subsidised heavily but still can't provide cheaper access. Their fault is to assume all countries can afford them.
tacomagick··on Testing 12 different Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors
Did you make sure those hot peaks are not your fridge's defrost cycle?
tacomagick··on Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges
Why is the fridge's cooling system is one with the smart features? They should be kept completely separate

tacomagick··on Forgot your phone PIN? Google could look to past to save you from factory reset
Literally any Android phone?
tacomagick··on Gemini 2.5 models extended indefinitely for aactive users
What is still interesting about Gemini 2.5? Is it still used for image classification?
tacomagick··on Forgot your phone PIN? Google could look to past to save you from factory reset
This is horrible.
tacomagick··on MiMo v2.6
OpenAI had to cut costs because of Anthropic. I also do not trust the benchmarks when it comes to models anymore. I have tried both Claude and OpenAI models and while it is true that the 5.6 series is smarter than Deepseek (at the time i tested it against 4.0) at that price it is still not worth it and sometimes randomly refuses to do tasks or stops midway etc.

Do also remember China is this far in the AI race despite all chip restrictions from America. If they were in equal standards I truly think Chinese models would have long surpassed American ones. Also would like to remind how Anthropic CEO is being hostile and blaming Chinese models with distilling meanwhile their own models claimed to be Qwen¹ and their stance against open models is negative² and they still keep blaming China for it.

tacomagick··on MiMo v2.6
Absolutely! Chinese models are both cheaper and more capable in many cases, compared to the American models and their makers continuously fumbling or reducing model capability with each update. Deepseek decreased costs when they released Flash 4.1 you would not see any American company do this, in reverse they would try charge you more.
tacomagick··on GNU/Linux Has Grown a Lot Lately
I don't see a reason not to call them Clownflare.
tacomagick··on Heretic removes restrictions from language models
I personally never saw much of a quality drop from models put through Heretic if that amounts to anything. They have been working quite well on small local models so far.

I guess you have AI to write your docker files and push your images now.

That sounds like a problem waiting to happen.

Ah, I just learned this, thanks for the heads up.
tacomagick··on Introducing GNOME 51, "A Coruña"
Really? I have been struggling to get mine to work on my Asus laptop. I guess I have a driver problem more than anything. Thanks for letting me know!
tacomagick··on Running a personal website is not fun anymore
I think Hugo is enough, if you want a web admin interface or an editor it goes into the CMS region which becomes bulky and hard to manage compared to just editing a few .md files under Hugo.
tacomagick··on Spotify lets parents exclude kids' music from Wrapped and recommendations
Has this been a thing? AFAIK after removing the Family Mix from the daily playlists there is nothing merging accounts under a family plan other than a Blend.
tacomagick··on Libinput 1.32 Released with Circular Scrolling Support for Circular Touchpads
This could be useful for Asus' dialpads too i think? Letting them have a use case under Linux as a scroll wheel I wonder how well it would work.
