tensegrist··on Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack
given they turned off the refrigerators (instead of something evil like turning them down for just long enough to allow bacterial growth and then turning them back up) customers would probably have noticed their ice cream being liquid, the frozen meat not being frozen, etc
tensegrist··on Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack
i know some of us are thinking "if you consistently fail to ensure your ability to make high-severity security patches reach critical internet-exposed systems on time you lose your ability to operate the business and probably get jail time"

but what about the deranged (and very prediction market–brained) version of this idea: the government develops ransomware, in a manner functionally similar to towing cars or confiscating illegal items, and uses it against companies in proportion to their revenue and obviously puts the money towards improving the ransomware

"the r in rsi stands for…"

i'm not sure it's something i want to see, but i don't know if it's impossible for it to actually come to pass or merely unlikely

(of course, cross-government versions of this are much more likely to come about but not as ransomware)

tensegrist··on Jepsen: ParticleDB 1.1.4
> ParticleDB’s home page advertised that ParticleDB was “formally proven” with a TLA+ proof. However, during our collaboration no TLA+ specification was available. It is unclear what properties might be proven, or whether they described ParticleDB as built.

in my over a decade of using nix i have never really managed to get into using the repl because every time i have it's been … weird in some way or another

perhaps you could add optional magnetic rails for extra support

or even 3d-printed "grids" of arbitrary shapes, with magnets embedded at the junctions, to interface with the keys' magnets while being separate from them

tensegrist··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
noting that input:output:cached is 10:50:1 for astra and luna but 10:50:0.5 for sol. this doesn't mean a lot without "tokens per task" information but it's still interesting for there to be a "dip" like this instead of a monotonic change in one direction or the other

tensegrist··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
what is the…epistemic status, for lack of a better way to put it, of the probabilities? what do they mean? what (probabilistic) guarantees do we have about, say, the responses to

- is the capital of france paris?

- it is august. is it raining in paris?

(forgive the examples; they're probably not semantically the sort of thing jev is trained to work on. but i figure the point translates to various kinds of questions that come up in "inner loop of agentic pid controller" contexts)

a normal text-generating model if asked to produce a number will also do that just fine. i assume in jev's case it was actually rled to essentially learn to express priors over things using its implicit world model, which definitely ought to help, but can we say more?

tensegrist··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
"i'm sorry, i left the task 半done"
tensegrist··on DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro

    In keeping with our commitment to user responsibility, following the official launch of V4.1 Flash and prior to the release of V4.1 Pro, all requests to the Pro model will be routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at Flash's price.
just in terms of user perception when selling this sort of service, this is what they call a "good look"
