is it lossy though? That didn't make sense to me. You can tell it to use Simplified Technical Language and also still have it give you all the detail. it's just another piece of th…

Glamorous Toolkit is built on Pharo, which I think is a fork of Squeak or shares lineage with it.

Not a word in here about accessibility, of course. If you’re blind you’re blind to the canvas as well without a lot of work, it’s much more straightforward to make the DOM accessib…

at least!

writing code is hard. building a successful product is harder, and is only sometimes a consequence of the code.

well sure, but i mean realistically speaking, we cannot step debug an llm's output to find out what happened given the way we currently execute inference

llms are not strictly deterministic in the sense that even if you had the RNG state, context, and prompt you would likely not get an identical output even if there was no other ran…

Every model that comes out comes with a bunch of people saying "this one is actually dumb they were smart before" and I don't really get it. The models since Opus 4.5 have all been…

They're called "pak"s for quake :)

Not surprised, DeepSeek v4-flash is basically free right now. I've been using it for a custom agent that is more about orchestrating a lot of the "chores" of using a computer (cale…

it's a big honking trillion some parameters model. it's not cheap to run

> Today, we bring it back. > I have acquired securityfocus.com and the Bugtraq name. Not to build a museum - to restart the conversation. The mission is unchanged: full disclosure,…

> Why is every company seemingly trying to re-implement agents themselves rather than making their product work with the existing ones? You can't raise a $50 million series b on ma…

only writes and honestly that’s a bit overblown they last a long time

i dunno how searxng avoids it but i've been using it regularly lately with a custom agent, and i've never had a blocked search

well the boards have been laid across the two shores, and the enemies are now climbing the walls, i guess is what i'm saying. if they had a moat, it's been breached

unfortunately the alibaba cloud does not seem like it can keep up with the demand caused by this announcement, i'm just getting endless timeouts

This looks like an interesting project but reading these AI slop web pages is so exhausting. At least turn your brain on long enough to explain what your project does

compute is not a moat, it's a rapidly depreciating physical asset. buying up all the shovels in a gold rush does not give you a moat, it gives you a slight advantage for the time b…

fine tuning runs of models the size of gpt 5.6 are absurdly expensive. I'd guess at least $100k in cloud gpu time for a single run, and you have to do a few iterations to get thing…

add a few grand to get a new breaker panel and a new circuit put in to power it

there aren't a lot of the obvious AI glitches but it still looks wrong , stiff and unnatural, eyes aren't right, faces move weird, it's all in the uncanny valley still to me

That's funny because so many of us in my PhD philosophy program would say: I should've been a physicist, philosophy ruined my life. I had a physics prof who told me it was foolish …

"tautological games". All proofs are a form of tautology, you have to end up back at the point your theorem proposed. Math is games of logic. That's what it is.

pricing page does not at all make clear what isn't included in the free version. you have to pay a monthly subscription for "language support"? does that mean it doesn't "support" …
