Viewing profile — accrual

Been there as well. You just want to play a game you own and end up making new accounts and sharing personal details, and even then might not even succeed. This is a big reason I t…

Filelight / ncdu are my friends for finding random 30GB directories containing cached models.

This is really cool, it gives me SimCity 2000 vibes. I like that I can click on neighborhoods and regions and get more information about them!

This isn't quite right, Windows Me was a stopgap between Windows 98 and Windows XP. Microsoft had no intention of keeping anyone on Me for long. There were already plans to get con…

I think item 1 will be most provable. Sony says "you can have X experience for Y dollars". You pay Y dollars. 10 years elapse. Sony says X is no longer available. Sony has absorbed…

There are some ISA USB cards with custom drivers to support them and present them as normal drives under MS-DOS. Never tried it myself, but they exist and seem to work! Other comme…

> where you have desktop AI apps on the left (Claude, Codex, Cursor) and macOS apps from Apple on the right (Finder, Photos, Mail). You can see how the AI apps all have much smalle…

The author's email obfuscation holds up well against small local models too, just for kicks neither Qwen-9B, Gemma-12B, nor GPT-OSS-20B could read it, giving results like "poc.otul…

It seems the agent was stymied by being bot blocked so often. I wonder if the agent would have more success with a rent-a-human company; then it could have used an API to hire peop…

I also noticed the web UI right away, very clean and functional.

I also know of a company who does this. The reason in their case is they act as a network concentrator, bridging hundreds of client IP spaces, so this helps them avoid conflicts wi…

I imagine there are similar risks for eating one's hat as well, though perhaps a bit safer since it's not in contact with the ground and contains fewer materials. So if you're goin…

> without ever directly mentioning anything I think both for attribution reasons and because the average user probably won't care, (or won't care enough for an ad-free tier), they …

I thought the article was interesting from a visualization perspective, even if it's not perfectly solid on the actual mechanics in a model. It helps describe the scale of the conn…

Most of my harness experience is with Claude Code and Pi, a little bit of OpenCode. I like how quick and snappy Pi is, it feels like a minimal harness, just enough to manage the ag…

HuggingFace and access to a fiber connection changed my concept of "large downloads". I can easily grab a 20GB model within a minute or two now, same for big Steam games. Meanwhile…

> Sony's announcement follows Rockstar's announcement that Grand Theft Auto 6 will come with a download code in a box rather than a physical disc. It's a move that most notably sta…

Nice. I flip flop between Qwen 3.5 9B Q6_M and Gemma4 12B Q4_K_M on a 4080 Super. They run at about the same speed and I can have them review each other's plan or diffs. For smalle…

I've seen some recent examples of XP in the wild, they pop-up occasionally in old ATMs, bus route displays, small stores running a PoS, etc. Not a recommended configuration of cour…

This is super cool! I admire those who make the effort to keep their software running on old unsupported OSs. There's a thriving community of new and existing XP users and I don't …

Could you share more about the homelab project? Is it so you could message your local agent via Matrix and it can poke around the lab, check if services are up, restart VMs, that k…
