tux··on I’ve built a virtual museum with nearly every operating system you can think of
Now add VR support and we can visit this museum and be like in a Tron movie. You can even charge a fee anyone entering musium usin VR ;-)
tux··on Incident Report: Railway Blocked by Google Cloud [resolved]
At this point you can’t trust Google anymore, it keeps breaking things. Imagine having Google AI do this thins automatically. Will have apocalypse in in a day.
tux··on GitLab announces workforce reduction and end of their CREDIT values
Yes, AI should be used as a tool for very specific things. Ones it’s trained on everything it’s completely useless. Anyone who is trying to use it for everyone will fail. I predict by 2030 (if not much sooner) ai bubble will burst. The only good outcome will be all this hardware used will be lequdated for pennies. Mark this prediction it will happen ;-)

AI is a text autocomplete. This is tge best AI definition i heard and agree with 100% Thank you.
tux··on The text mode lie: why modern TUIs are a nightmare for accessibility
Maybe someone should come up with AI for blind people. TUAIs :-)
tux··on Talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
Combining AI with VR we can even achieve something like time travel ;-)
tux··on How NASA built Artemis II’s fault-tolerant computer
I think everyone should now make mistakes so we ca distinguish human vs ai.
tux··on We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers
Okay, see front page I added some screenshots :-)
tux··on We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers
Yeah i’ll have something up soon :-)
tux··on We can't have nice things because of AI scrapers
Yeah AI scrapers is one of the reasons why i have closed my public website https://tvnfo.com and only left donors site online. It’s not only because of AI scrapers but i grew tired of people trying to scrape the site eating a lot of reasorcers this small project don’t have. Very sad really it was publicly online since 2016. Now it’s only available for donors. Running a tiny project on just $60 a month. If this was not my hobby i would close it completely long time ago :-) Who know if there is more support in the future i might reopen public site again with something like anubes bot protection. But i thought it was only small sites like mine who gets hit hard, looks like many have similar issues. Soon nothing will be open or useful online. I wonder if this was the plan all along whoever pushing AI on massive scale.
tux··on LLM Problems Observed in Humans
“In fact, so rare it is to find someone who knows what I mean that it feels like a magic moment.”

There, lack of interest from the person you talking to or you when listening. It’s because you have different interests. This is a human feature not a flaw. But it’s interesting to think that LLMs might have similar behavior :-)

“I’ll never again ask a human to write a computer program shorter than about a thousand lines, since an LLM will do it better.”

From my personal experience with ChatGPT it can’t even correctly write few lines of code. But i don’t use AI often. I just don’t find it that useful. From what i see it’s mostly a hype bubble that will burst.

But this is my personal opinion and my own observation. I could be wrong :-)

tux··on Eye prosthesis is the first to restore sight lost to macular degeneration
This is incredible technology. Now do computer glasses with AI and you won’t need separate devices like phone.
tux··on It Begins: An AI Attempted Murder to Avoid Shutdown

tux··on How Not to Buy a SSD
This also happens a lot on AliExpress most storage devices are fake. Some 64gb flash drives, sd cards or 320gb 2.5 mobile hdds are okay. But you should run f3 test on any new drive you buy.
tux··on uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari
Requires iOS 18.0+ sadly older iOS not supported :-(
tux··on uBlock Origin is no longer available on the Chrome Store
Let’s hope it still works at least on ungoogled chromium with manual setup. As soon as this stops working i’m back to only using firefox for good.
tux··on What made the Irish famine so deadly
Yeah this reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor
tux··on Introducing a terms of use and updated privacy notice for Firefox
Ask HN: Is ungoogled chromium a good alternative ?
tux··on Merry Christmas Everyone
I’m sure this is just a coincidence than but Rudolph sounds a like Adolf, or in today’s concept Russian Adolf. And word red doesn’t help, as red was favorite SSSR color. 0_o
tux··on Merry Christmas Everyone
The Mummy (1999) was the first theater movie for me, it was an epic experience!
tux··on Twtxt is a decentralised, minimalist microblogging service for hackers
It kind of sounds like twitter extension. This is what i thought of it as when i first seen it. This can be very confusing.
tux··on Lowercase – A simple way to take and share notes
SilverBullet looks very good, it reminds me of Hugo (https://gohugo.io/) Now if only some one combined SilverBullet with Hugo we could have a live view/edit in Hugo =) Thanks for the link.
