I started learning Terraform. At the beginning i let the llm convert some of my homelab infrastructure into a tf project, because thats always the annoying part. Now I play arround…

Reminds me of the recent economist interview with Elon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuoqKYxDHVc&t=1880s Minton Beddoes: What people who lose their jobs, who are displaced, who …

I think the article greatly underestimates our archaeological capabilities. We can identify five mass extinctions in the last 500 million years, so why should such a civilization s…

It would be interesting to know how many optimizations of the Chinese models were incorporated back into Claude and Codex.

The "companions" page is really disturbing. Two dozen of slightly different animated avatars doing exactly the same gestures while starring at you.

I would say that depends of the company's legal form. If you have an "AG" or "GmbH" you get double taxed anyway, one time the company and than again your salary. So if you have an …

Yes, I see scaling as the biggest problem. Instead of developing one service for potentially 7 billion users, you're building 10 services for maybe 1 to 10 million users each. It w…

What keeps going through my mind regarding this topic is that we have Instagram for pictures, YouTube for videos, Reddit as a forum, Twitter/Bsky as a microblogging service, and so…

Is this also a some kind of a Trojan/malware attack? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48594733 https://pypi.org/project/prylint/ > A Rust reimplementation of pylint that produc…

> A Rust reimplementation of pylint that produces byte-for-byte identical output — 15–2300× faster (median ~85×). > prylint is not "inspired by" pylint. [...] Where pylint has bugs…

It's funny that most countries not even have an E-ID for their human citizen yet Estonia provides them already for AI agents.

Thats just stupid. - Why should I run it on local hardware when there are already about a dozen US provider available? - To compare the token usage per task with GLM 5.1 is worthle…

Look at it the other way: What did Musk get last Friday? $75B from the SpaceX IPO. It's almost like giving a toddler $100 in the toy department and seeing what happens next.

I usually forget about my coffee anyway until it's cold.

Meta allowed an LLM to change users email address for a password reset. Funny times are ahead...

At least he learnt not to provide an LLM presumably unrestricted access to his AWS account.

I would say you Americans are more into gambling while in Europe fan violence is a bigger topic. Like just last week, after PSG won the Champions League title, there were cars burn…

I don't think the unstructured format directly contributes to the playing strength but rather attracts more player to play in a local club. Even in the town where I life with less …

They don't even implement their logic gates within the normal game mechanics but with scripting some bit-goats in the editor. So the AoE2 Engine is just a graphical representation …

All I see is some confusing talk about bit-goats and a player who attacks with his scout while the other trades and builds new buildings. Why does it matter that there is an infini…

Sure, but I don't talk with my coding agent about politics. And its something different to avoid a topic and to deceptively implement a backdoor.

Okay, but I don't think Kiriakou would explicitly admit if the US spied specifically on Israel. I think at most we get a indirect "confession" like Andrew Bustamante gave in some p…

Kiriakou also stated several times that the Mossad was known to casually try to recruit CIA agents: https://youtu.be/R7OWqAgGzwA?t=163

I guess Google implements more / stronger guard rails than Alibaba and thus confuses these small models. At least this was my impression with Gemma3 models where it often said that…
