typpilol··on How to declutter, quiet down, and take the AI out of Windows 11 25H2
My windows won't update due to some firmware bug past 23h2, every time I try it just blue screens, even from a disk

Didn't think it would end up being the perfect time to stop taking feature updates and use security updates alone

typpilol··on Study identifies weaknesses in how AI systems are evaluated
Grok is terrible at coding though.
typpilol··on Cerebras Code now supports GLM 4.6 at 1000 tokens/sec
I feel the same and it's also why I can't understand all these people using small local models.

Every local model I've used and even most open source are just not good

typpilol··on Becoming a compiler engineer
You can't plagiarize fiction?

So if I copy paste Harry Potter that's ok?

What kind of argument is that

typpilol··on Solarpunk is happening in Africa
I'm not contracted out to build a product for these companies or people like a factory would be

So not really a good comparison

When you have the design it takes away alot of the need to even reverse engineer in the first place

typpilol··on Internet Archive's legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
300tb seems insanely small so that 15pb number is probably closer

Id say though with the rise of video on social media, if they didn't 3x or 4x that 15pb number since then.

I'm sure there's plenty of room to replicate to aws but I'm sure they couldn't afford to host 60pb of data on aws. They have their own Colo or data center if I recall.

typpilol··on Myna: Monospace typeface designed for symbol-heavy programming languages
I switched to codenewroman mono with a nerd font.

Makes my terminal look amazing as well.

Especially since I've been working on a color scripts compilation that relies heavily on font being accurate

Do we know how much data the internet archive has?

Is it even viable to replicate to multiple regions if it's 1000s of PB?

Oh I agree. But I'd say trust is the wrong word

They're reliable, but would you really trust them?

I think there's a bit of nuance there to differentiate the 2 though.

Maybe I'm jaded from working with overseas factories though in ways others wouldn't be.

Everyone forgot about limewire and the masses installing every trojan known to man.

Limewire made it easy, so people used it.

The same would be true today if assume.

typpilol··on Internet Archive's legal fights are over, but its founder mourns what was lost
You're telling me they have no redundant copies at all in another location?

I could see that due to the sheer size but im sure they have a robust disk pool that would take a lot for it to lose data

typpilol··on Solarpunk is happening in Africa
The industry basically treats any designs sent to China as a loss since they know it will be duplicated

I don't think trust has much to do with it

typpilol··on You Don't Need Anubis
Chrome even released a dev tools mcp they gives any LLM full tool access to do anything in the browser.

Navigate, screenshots, etc. it has like 30 tools in it alone.

Now we can just run real browsers with LLMs attached. Idk how you even think about defeating that.

typpilol··on Composer: Building a fast frontier model with RL
It seems like a sort of sonnet model as a lot of people are reporting it like to spam documentation on Twitter like sonnet 4.5

What makes it and different from vscodes copilot completions?

Don't you know most slow things are only from apis! /s
typpilol··on Tips for stroke-surviving software engineers
My dad's suffering with aphasia from a large half brain stroke too.

You give me some hope things will get better for him.

typpilol··on Claude for Excel
Same. I switched from sonnet 4 when it was out to codex. Went back to try sonnet 4.5 and it really hates to work for longer than like 5 minutes at a time

Codex meanwhile seems to be smarter and plugs away at a massive todo list for like 2 hours

typpilol··on Show HN: Helium Browser for Android with extensions support, based on Vanadium
I miss kiwi.
typpilol··on Tsdown – The Elegant Bundler for Libraries
Afaict, it seems like a rust build on top of oxc and roll down?

But again, all it says is it's fast. And vite is pretty damn fast and widely supported so?

Plus vite exposes roll down config options so yea, what's the point?

typpilol··on GenAI Image Editing Showdown
This is the editing link yes. I just got done looking at it from the other link.

The other stuff is text to image (not editing)

typpilol··on Pico-Banana-400k
Yes that was exactly it.

How often do you update it? It seems like something new every time I check. Or I forget everything..

typpilol··on Pico-Banana-400k
I love your site I stumble across it once a month it seems.

Or there's another very similar site. But I'm pretty sure it's yours

typpilol··on The Linux Boot Process: From Power Button to Kernel
Agreed. A lot of these articles leave me with more questions than answers.

These blog posts really annoy me because I feel like with 20% more effort you could have something worth reading.

typpilol··on Debian Technical Committee overrides systemd change
That's actually insanely concerning that he essentially got mad and withheld the patch after

I know copilot supports nested agent files per folder.

There was over 90 free throws shot in 1 game yesterday

It was crazy

typpilol··on Claude Memory
I wonder if the AI companies will eventually just have a tool that lets the llm drop it's context mid convo when the user requests it.
typpilol··on Roc Camera
You literally can't even export the photos...
typpilol··on OpenAI acquires Sky.app
They're also the reason we have to support backwards compat for some shit sites designed in 99.

Like update it already ffs or it's not worth having around, we can archive it instead
