tymscar··on From 400 Mbps to 1.7 Gbps: A WiFi 7 Debugging Journey
Are you sure? I just bought the Ugreen 2.5Gbps yesterday for this, and it uses a Realtek RTL8156BG chip. That’s the one I used to get way above 2Gbps straight to the UDR.

You're right, however, that was one of the reasons I upgraded too. This one can handle the full 2.5 gigs even with IDS on.
tymscar··on My Impressions of the MacBook Pro M4
If anything, Apple was right back then. Glossy has so many benefits for the places where you’d use a computer, it’s not even close. Having the option to pay premium for those few that work in environments where matte helps them makes sense. I’d pay money for my display to not be matte.

Yeah, I am aware of this and its totally fine for me for now!

Every single person I know had nothing but respect for the meta people doing it live. I think they garnered more attention that way

Good point! Wireshark was the next step actually if this didnt work!

tymscar··on Claude Sonnet 4.5
I 100% agree with you, but to play devils advocate, what would stop an LLM for telling you all about k means clustering and openstreetmap and everything when you ask about an efficient way to cluster deliveries on a map?
tymscar··on Docker Was Too Slow, So We Replaced It: Nix in Production [video]
Saying that nix is a simple script that does chroot + ufw + nsenter is missing the point even more
tymscar··on Be careful with Go struct embedding
So I got curious and I looked at the compiler source code, and it does a depth-first search.

The fascinating bit to me is that there is a consolidateMultiples function in go/src/go/types/lookup.go (lines 286-304) that detects when multiple embedded types at the same depth provide the same field name. I wonder why they don’t do this for all levels. How deep could this even be in practice for it to matter? You could just have a hashmap with them all.

That’s actually crazy. Why is this even a feature?
tymscar··on Vapor chamber tech keeps iPhone 17 Pro cool
Majority of your comments are nothing more than just bashing Apple with things that aren’t even the case.

Nobody, especially not the title of this post, says anything about this being “innovative” or “omg”.

I think you are right that there is an Apple mental field that controls people, but I actually think the effect is on the other side.

Most Apple fans just comment on something new and go like “hey, look how neat this”. The haters, on the other hand, respond with more or less the same thing multiple times even in the same thread.

I understand if a kid does it, it’s innate to humans to side with Pepsi or Cola, with Xbox or PS, but for an adult, it’s just sad.

If you love tech, just appreciate new things regardless of who the company that makes them is. And if you don’t, then why waste your time on hating it all the time? Just get a hobby.

Most likely they have different keys for absolutely no other reason than the fact that they were bought/made separately. I honestly would prefer to have a single key to my building.

Honestly, I’d love to know why that happens. Can you take a look at the logs? On Mac, you can do it through the Console app, and on Linux, through idevicesyslog.

I don’t know what the answer to the Collatz conjecture is, but I know it’s not “carrot”.
tymscar··on I Used Arch, BTW: macOS, Day 1
I am running nix darwin and its a dream. Don’t have any issues and things just work. Setting everything up just the way I like it took ages but thats because I wanted to play with it.

I use most of the same configuration on nixos too

tymscar··on MCP in LM Studio
Why would they pay 2/3 of the price for something with 1/5 of ram?

The whole point of spending that much money for them is to run massive models, like the full R1, which the Pro 6000 cant

tymscar··on Codex CLI is going native
This is an interesting proof of what I keep reading about. Where people are quick at making something, like a PR, with AI, but then doing the last 10% is left in the air.

If codex was half as good as they say it is in the presentation video, surely they could’ve sent a request to the one in chatgpt from their phone while waiting for the bus, and it would’ve addressed your comments…

Doesn’t this mean that realistically even if “the bubble never pops”, at some point money will run dry?

Or do these people just bet on the post money world of AI?

Projects like this are at the heart of what it means to be a hacker.

Its extremely fun to have a clear requirement that is not supported by a piece of software that you use and then work around it until it works

tymscar··on Claude Integrations
I totally agree with you, especially if you actually try using these models, not just looking at random hype posters on twitter or skewed benchmarks.

That being said, isn’t it strange how the community has polar opposite views about this? Did anything like this ever happen before?

Please do write about that. It would be a shame to not have any material about it!
tymscar··on OpenAI o3 and o4-mini
Thats so different from my experience. I tried to have it switch a flake for a yarn package that works to npm and after 3 tries with all the hints I could give it it couldn’t do it
tymscar··on Firebase Studio
I have tried again step by step with what you said here, copy pasted the prompt even and after a couple changes here and there it loses the plot and gets stuck and seemingly no amount of prompting can get it out.

To make sure I tried 3 times in a row. Same result.

I feel like in the emperors new clothes story.
