Narretz··on Zelensky says Russia has widened attacks to hit Ukraine's data centres
It's not a question of gained ground. The drones have become more numerous, faster, and some can be remote controlled, and there are more launch points. Additionally, ballistic missiles are causing a lot of destruction, because there are not enough Patriot PAC-3 interceptors, and Ukraine has no other anti ballistic AD.
Narretz··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
Sounds like it specifically does not apply to subscription usage.
Narretz··on Twitter Viewer – View Twitter Without Account
Gonna be interesting for how long it stays available like this. It's a scraper's dream.
Narretz··on Nitter project received cease and desist
my guess is many people use nitter to do automatic scraping of Twitter for various projects, i.e. they can't believe they "have" to do it because so many people still use Twitter.
Narretz··on I tricked Claude into leaking your deepest, darkest secrets
I'd say there's also oversight/supervision. Which was manual at the start with a human signing off on commands/incrementally built allow/block lists, and now seperate models evaluating commands and blocking them based on some parameters. This is the weakest model, but it'll evolve as well.
Narretz··on Claude Fable 5
Iirc correctly Opus 4.7 had the same problem, safety filters were triggered way too easily at the beginning.
Narretz··on Claude Fable 5
There a few benchmarks out there where all existing models have abysmal scores. So it's not actually a problem if Antrophic's older models are bad, especially if the jump to the newest model is huge, and the competition is also way below it.
Narretz··on GitHub just suspended GitHub-actions[bot]
They are now reporting that is a major incident:

> We are investigating authentication issues leading to failure in starting Actions runs and downloading actions. At this time the majority of Actions runs is impacted.

Narretz··on Postmortem: TanStack NPM supply-chain compromise
> Cache entry Linux-pnpm-store-6f9233a50def742c09fde54f56553d6b449a535adf87d4083690539f49ae4da11 (1.1 GB) saved to GitHub Actions cache for TanStack/router, scope refs/heads/main — keyed to match what release.yml will look up on the next push to main

Imo I think this shouldn't have been possible, as in release should use its own cache and rebuild the rest fresh. It's one thing that the main <> fork boundary was breached, but imo the release process should have run fresh without any caches. Of course hindsight is 20/20.

Narretz··on TanStack NPM Packages Compromised
--before doesn't save you globally, only min-release-age does, which is in npm since March iirc.
Narretz··on TanStack NPM Packages Compromised
Isn't this article wrong about npm minumum release age. 1. The config is min-release-age. 2. For some reason they have chosen to make it days instead of minutes: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/using-npm/config#min-release-...

Completely unforced fragmentation of the dependency manager space imo

Narretz··on Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry
Dispatch and scheduled tasks have been available for a few weeks already, although with limitations.
Narretz··on Claude App Down 3/2/26
I can't check how much usage I have left because that part of the Claude website does not load ...
Narretz··on Fastest Front End Tooling for Humans and AI
Kinda crazy that ts-node is still the recommendation when it hasn't been updated since 2023. And likewise crazy that no other lib has emerged that has typescript compilation and typechecking. Of course if it works, don't fix it, but typescript has evolved quite a bit since 2023.
Narretz··on GitHub postponing the announced billing change for self-hosted GitHub Actions
They are talking about the cost to run the Actions control plane and the scheduler that is not executed on the runner itself.
Narretz··on Why did Crunchyroll's subtitles just get worse?
Amazon Prime did it as well and it was absolutely horrible. Character names got completely butchered, and changed from one scene to the next.
Narretz··on iPhone Air
That was 10 years ago. The stability has improved massively. What was the last phone that bent under normal circumstances?
Narretz··on iPhone Air
It still has 6.5 inch display and the camera sticks out like a sore thumb. Where's a 5 inch display normal thickness phone?
Narretz··on US Court nullifies FTC requirement for click-to-cancel
I have a crazy suggestion ... maybe Congress should make this a law?! Does Congress still do this outside of insane huge budget bills?
Narretz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Trump's handling of military strikes/operations, which have been mostly symbolic. Killing Soleimani, and not retaliating to the retaliationary strikes. A completely useless strike on Shayrat airbase in Syria. Pulling out of Yemen strikes this year because it was ineffective (never admitting to this though). Trump wants to be known as a deal maker. I don't think that has changed, he's just become more delusional regarding the practicality.
Narretz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
Israel doesn't talk about destroying Gaza, it just does it.
Narretz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
I guess because many men are needed for the IRGC and related organisations.
Narretz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
That's a big leap. Nothing suggests a ground operation or occupation, which was the most costly part of the Iraq war, and importantly, was part of it from the beginning. Experience suggests that Trump would rather walk away from Iran after an exchange of strikes and claim victory then double down in a land war.
Narretz··on U.S. bombs Iranian nuclear sites
There's no way of knowing that Russia wouldn't have incited the "rebellions" anyway. Once the writing was on the wall that the majority of Ukrainians didn't want to be Russia's puppets, Putin would likely have acted one way or the other. Why take chances?
Narretz··on Grok answers unrelated queries with long paragraphs about "white genocide"
It can't be coincidence that a few weeks ago users wanted to twist grok's arm and make it post right-wing aligned answers/opinions, but grok itself said it's programmed for unbiased/factual answers (for what it's worth). This is probably a test run gone wrong to make grok more aligned with Musk's opinions.
Narretz··on We asked camera companies why their RAW formats are all different and confusing
> It just "happens" to be also available to select for the end-user after product-launch

RAW (any format) is an essential requirement for many photographers. You just can't get the same results out of a jpeg.

Narretz··on Twitter.com – Is Twitter Down?
Wdym with "curate your feed"? See only posts of people your follow? That's always been possible with Twitter.
Narretz··on X / Twitter down for a third time
This can easily also be because they don't have enough bandwidth to serve the normal request volume because some load balancer update or similar went wrong.
Narretz··on US Ends Support For Ukrainian F-16s
Well it's always good to be specific, but I think it was the only thing that the US did for the F-16, wasn't it? They didn't exactly support sending planes in the first place. And it's not gonna be the last wrench the US will throw into Ukraine's (and Europe's) gears. It all piles up.
Narretz··on U.S. pauses all military aid to Ukraine
Israel is using these bombs on Hamas and Hezbollah mostly, both of which it hasn't defeated after 1 1/2 years of complete material superiority. It's actually impossible to defeat an enemy that uses asymmetric warfare. Israel already knows this, but Netanjahu needs the war to continue to stay in power.
