I find that 5.5 gives me far fewer refusals than Anthropic models for security and reverse engineering work. I hope the same is true for 5.6.

The stories around how music is made is a very under-considered aspect of the listening experience. Oftentimes those stories are not strictly true, but contain a kernel of truth, a…

Your take does not reflect the reality on the ground. The Chinese models are censored on a narrow range of political topics which have nothing to do with my work. The weights are o…

I have 0 sympathy for Anthropic. Their latest models are extremely censored. The Fable rollout was horrible. Their Cyber Access program criteria denies doxxed Americans doing legit…

I understand the problem you're trying to solve. Have you looked into configuring permissions for harnesses like Claude Code? I believe achieving what you want is possible with som…

Big fan here. I've tried lots of them and am currently fairly happily settled on https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace

This is really cool! What has been the biggest unexpected challenge of designing and building a keyboard from scratch?

This looks interesting. I thought I would leave this feedback incase it's helpful. There is not enough information about what the experience is like to convince me to sign up. You …

This looks really fun and is right up my alley. It could use some "stones"-style music. :)

One thing that occurs to me about music which makes it different from software or film is that it's a very impulsive art form. A human with semi-modern equipment can write, produce…

I guess Opus makes it impossible to do anything vaguely resembling security research. By chance I stumbled into an ACE for some software I had installed on my local machine after o…

If you're being sincere, there are many easily accessible ways to short Bitcoin with leverage.

To add more context to what I believe the parent commenter was referring to, the vast majority of USD stablecoins are custodial, meaning the funds can be frozen arbitrarily at any …

I guess I can look forward to all of my plugins breaking in some way in the near future.

I do this too. It's not for everyone. At this point it's easily been positive ROI for me, but that's after about two years now of maintaining my configs through multiple machines a…

This is a great list. Even the first line item would be amazing. I'm really feeling this pain presently as I am moving my setup to a new dedicated machine. Put aside the bit rot th…

I agree that "the internet will always be filled with real people: looking for each other". The question is will they be able to successfully find each other, and how can they be s…

The author recommends using "Do Not Track", but this has been deprecated for some time. Safari and Firefox have both removed the option completely. Perhaps the author meant GPC? Fo…

I suspect the scope and scale of these operations are at least 1-2 orders of magnitude larger than most people think. I also strongly suspect such operations are not limited only t…

I'm equally confused at just how bad Reddit is at identifying and removing bad actors to the point that I'm convinced it must be an intentional. I'm not sure if the reason may be a…

I would disagree with that characterization. There are dozens of NFT marketplaces which all have access to the same underlying data. An NFT is denoted by its address on chain, whic…

I am in the same boat. I'd prefer something that just works, but I am at the point now that setting something up with TrueNAS seems like it may be worth the effort in the long term…

OpenSea is very nearly "entirely on-chain" if I'm understanding your point correctly. It's powered by smart contracts. It's not custodial like Coinbase or Robinhood. Users custody …

In my experience H1-Bs know that the consequence of losing their job could mean being forced to leave the country. Management knows that too. Obviously this affects the incentives …

This is also my impression. Containers aren't full-proof. There are ways to escape from them I guess? But surely it's more secure practically than not using them? Your project look…
