    Oh the irony of using AI to create a piece of writing complaining about AI :-)

    With almost 600 books in my kindle collection over a period of about 15 years, I would like to think I was a relatively active customer. When they announced “your kindle books are …

    Both you and parent could be right. There is a fun term “jagged frontier”. Meaning: one model can be much better than the other one in one thing, and much worse than the other in a…

    Very interesting! Architecturally - where do you run Postgres ? I assume it would be external to the cluster ? (doing it internally would create a circular dependency ?)

    I’ve made something very similar that is almost backend-agnostic: https://github.com/ayourtch-llm/tttt - and it does auto inject the MCP in case of Claude, but it is trivial to ada…

    Isn’t that what LoRA does ?

    Oh, thank you very much enlightening me! All the time I misunderstood! I guess then IIT it is for me :-)

    Hinduism is probably right. Every system of sufficient complexity is probably sentient - even if in the ways we at our level can not fathom.

    I tried qwen3.5:4b in ollama on my 4 year old Mac M1 with my own coding harness and it exhibited pretty decent tool calling, but it is a bit slow and seemed a little confused with …

    I dont have big ideas. Some of the more interesting ones that I ended up using but can’t share: a streaming radio for my MP3 collection (runs behind the vpn); a lightweight and sel…

    You don’t know whether your C compiler isn’t doing that either.

    I am 50, coding since ~12. Started with Apple II, during the uni times wrote my own editor in assembly for BK-0010 (a soviet computer), then 30 years in computer networking with so…

    Just use iSH and use the local terminal on the iPhone from which you can connect to the Mac terminal. Works well over tailscale, too.

    Fixing a non-trivial bug is a great way to learn - assuming they don’t give up. By virtue of being generators subtly broken stuff, LLMs are well positioned to create very nice lear…

    I try to buy physical books, and make an effort to buy it elsewhere, with AMZN being the reluctant last resort if I truly can’t find it. I don’t have a specific go to place anymore…

    I have bought more than 600 books over a decade or so; But after they decided the ebooks were actually just license to read, I did exactly the same as you, and now rather than happ…

    Reading this article is especially amusing since this bit just hit the news as well: https://www.business-standard.com/amp/world-news/amazon-euro...

    I think it’s just some person clauding around, nothing to do with anthropic. They also opened a massive PR against VPP with a bunch of stuff.

    Kimi is noticeably better at tool calling than gpt-oss-120b. I made a fun toy agent where the two models are shoulder surfing each other and swap the turns (either voluntarily, dur…

    Put Claude code on top of it and now you have prototypes of what you have in mind written pretty much instantly and they are suitable for reshaping into production later if needs t…

    Back at some point on HN, I saw https://generalfuzz.net/acrn/ - and it seems to be useful at least temporarily - in my and others' anecdata. FWIW.

    Telenet and Proximus do, so if you are in their service area, why not switch ? (Don’t know about Voo, I live in Brussels). My mobile connectivity comes via Mobile Vikings which are…

    Very nice. One little bug report: maybe delay the appearance of the instructions until the data for the background music finishes loading - else only a short part of it gets played…
