Neywiny··on Run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B) on consumer hardware (RTX 4090) at 100T/s
No but they like doing it, is what I said. One of those things I have to make sure is prompted correctly.

Neywiny··on We're working on a new RuneScape MMO
I'd much rather just not need to grind instead of throwing compute and time at it?
Neywiny··on Run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B) on consumer hardware (RTX 4090) at 100T/s
I don't like that some configuration is fine via arguments and others by environment variable. I've noticed LLMs like doing this. And even more, like hallucinating such things. To me the advantage of AI coding is that the boilerplate of command line arguments and passing them around becomes trivial instead of tedious.
Neywiny··on There are only 5,000 elite software engineers in the world (2025)
Did you switch jobs within that time or stay where you were forever?
Neywiny··on Agents don't need memory, they need documentation
No I'm saying this entire problem approach, including memory system of agents, is incorrect. Like the author argues. With the same solution of moving the ground truths outside of the model/context.
Neywiny··on Agents don't need memory, they need documentation
This is what I've been saying for years. I attended a tech demo of an AI assistant for a car's owners' manual. But they trained the manual into the model. Which means not only does it need retraining every edition, but it's imperfect. The models need to be trained to fetch and use documentation not vaguely recall infinitely many concepts. I would much rather have 27B parameters on how to code than 26B on stuff like numpy function listings. It's like they approached the problem from a closed notes hand written coding exam. Everyone hates those.
Neywiny··on IANA's email about why example.com changed
I like to use logon.com which for some reason occasionally routes to the login page of a captive portal. Why a method to get back to it hasn't been unified is beyond me. (Cue xkcd on standards)
Neywiny··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
This is what I brought up about the Giants game fiasco. When a quick quip generates tens of thousands of fake internet points, who cares if it's true? And not one of the ones I saw had an apology edit or were deleted. People don't care about the content, they care about the fake internet points
Neywiny··on Context Language Models
True facts. Cline does this with auto compact and it's so dumb. At the start of the session it reads the plan.md. during compaction, it forgets it. Same with its own output. It'll tell me the list of steps to take. By step 4 it needs to compact. So I prompt to do step 4. It spends 15 minutes searching the codebase and comes back that it couldn't find such a step. So dumb. So so dumb
Neywiny··on Show HN: Rank every HN "Who is hiring?" post against your resume, locally
We're getting close to completely automatic job searching and applications. Can't wait
Neywiny··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
But how many of those are real recruiters for real jobs that are relevant to you?
Neywiny··on What makes Lisp difficult to read?
.... Veritasium and a ton of other YouTubers made entire careers off of that. Steve Mould, the action lab... I mean there are so many
Neywiny··on What makes Lisp difficult to read?
My guy, most people are unfamiliar with Lisp
Neywiny··on What makes Lisp difficult to read?
That went to Nazism real fast. But the thing is, most people don't think the Holocaust is a hoax (I think), whereas most people do think Lisp is difficult to read.
Neywiny··on C's Flexible Integer Sizes Were Not a Design Mistake
Yeah but that's a compile time constant. Wouldn't get executed at all.
Neywiny··on The accidental history of 3000, 8080, and other port numbers
Funny you mention 1234, which is the gdb server default port I brought
Neywiny··on C's Flexible Integer Sizes Were Not a Design Mistake
I'm pretty sure shifting right by more than the width just makes 0? Maybe it's one of those UB that's always done the same way
Neywiny··on I'm the mom in that viral Giants clip. Let me tell you about my husband
I think it's also important to remember that these people are karma farming. When you can get 5k points for "man bad", who wouldn't?

Doubly reminded of that as I'm watching a DEFCON talk where he cites fake Internet points as a driving motivator. Which is my feeling too but yeah idk the whole thing is missing that "we're real people" thing.

Neywiny··on LA Metro has some of the slowest escalators on Earth
The longest escalators in the Eastern hemisphere, at Wheaton Metro, which I've ridden many times, are apparently the same speed according to Wikipedia. So my gut feeling of maybe they did that because maybe they're short doesn't hold
Neywiny··on The hottest new hangout for middle schoolers is NPR's comment section?
That ending is hilarious. I imagine him grabbing some random kid in public and asking why
Neywiny··on Tutoring company tells parents to save their money and 'use AI instead'
[hello FBI I am not making a bomb]

I think if you can get into the chemistry just a bit, then the math behind the chemistry, it can be a vehicle. I mean it's the same with programming. Why write code (boring, yuck) when you could play video games? Then the kids see code makes video games. Suddenly you have all these programs with kids making Minecraft mods or whatever. But finding each child's "bomb" would be hard for a teacher to do, especially with a common curriculum

Neywiny··on White House Says Access Is a 'Privilege' in Court Filing Defending Media Ban
First term was somewhat coy. Second term is "yes we're violating the Constitution/law. What are you gonna do about it? Nothing? Ok cool I'll go do that again" over and over and over
Neywiny··on US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
Oh then yeah actually it is what I meant. But basically you can just buy the hardware from ubiquiti to do it yourself. No monthly anything.
Neywiny··on US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
You mean like 4G/5G -> WiFi? That's not what I meant. I meant sharing the one connection with multiple buildings.

I thought about what I believe is your way until https://www.tomshardware.com/opinion/t-mobile-home-internet-... and https://www.tomshardware.com/news/t-mobile-misleads-home-int... .

Neywiny··on Vibecoding isn't a crime How Distribute Your App on Linux after Flathub refusal
It's really not. Zynq-7000 can have 1 or 2 A9 cores, Zynq MPSoC can have 2 or 4 A53 cores. It sounds like what you've done is modified the freertos A9 port. It's abundantly clear that you had LLMs do this, trust me.
Neywiny··on US halts flights at busy East Coast airports, says fiber line cut
Any possibility of line of site wireless?
Neywiny··on Vibecoding isn't a crime How Distribute Your App on Linux after Flathub refusal
Zynq isn't an operating system? And you seem to be mixing OSs and architectures? Zynqs and I believe Versals contain both ARM (R and A) cores and a microblaze core. They can run bare metal, Linux, an RTOS, or whatever because they're just CPUs.
Neywiny··on The senior engineer death spiral
Out of self interest, can you please vindicate a feeling of mine? If a tenant in a carpeted but bottom floor apartment calls at 11pm saying the in-unit laundry room is flooding, what/who would you bring when you go out?
Neywiny··on Google Rolls Out $899-Plus 'Ai laptops'
It's just a Chromebook. Again. At least it has decent hardware. But so do other $900 laptops.
