SV_BubbleTime··on I love LLMs, I hate hype
I love that we can rely on the past being prologue!! It’s super helpful for everyone to have become ridiculously wealthy.
SV_BubbleTime··on Why are US consumers so angry? It's not just high prices
Completely off topic and no one will see this, but in 2017 I bought a new speedqueen washer and drier. No “new” features just does its job.

God damn one of the best purchases I’ve made for a house. There is a market for “dumb products” that aren’t stupid.

SV_BubbleTime··on EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0
> This vote took place on last day of the session when many MEPs had already left for Summer vacation

Surely this was not by someone’s design. Maybe though… you don’t leave a day early for your vacation?

SV_BubbleTime··on US seeks cheaper hunter-killer drones after Iran destroys $1B worth of Reapers
Ignore that we funded the taliban and warlords for the next 50 years with 1.9 billion in vehicles, machine guns, small arms, night vision, and explosives?

> ps. they are still executing fishermen without trial off

Oh. You should have started with this.

SV_BubbleTime··on An interactive explorer for Benford's Law across real datasets
I wonder if it using this would help disprove election irregularities?
SV_BubbleTime··on Dua Lipa opens library for banned and censored books in Portugal
What if someone brought a porno to blockbuster?
SV_BubbleTime··on Artificial and Fake Eggs: Dance of Death
Is the economy here for fake eggs? Except for the wholesale slaughter of chickens awhile back and the delay impact and obvious rebound of egg prices… eggs are pretty cheap.

Does it make sense to roll up water and fats together in a Valium carbonate shell with all the labor that is involved?

Vegans that just miss the experience of cracking an egg open? Dark market of Chinese import flavored novelty eggs?

SV_BubbleTime··on Cannabis users face substantially higher risk of heart attack (2025)
I love these articles. When the hundred heavy pot users all come at once with their impartial critiques and studious analyses.

What I like more is some of the people that will agree with me would crucify if the topic was about ADHD meds.

SV_BubbleTime··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
Find a single phase3 trail that was successful before deploying to the world.

Find ONE.

SV_BubbleTime··on Kimi K2.7 Code is generally available in GitHub Copilot
Understated how much of a boon for Linux that AI development has been.

There isn’t any benefit to running a windows machine.

SV_BubbleTime··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
A rushed phase3 was completed and there was no chance it wasn’t going to be.

You know damn well that wasn’t even remotely the normal process.

It’s ok, you don’t need to pretend anything about Covid was “by the book”.

SV_BubbleTime··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
Was the entire world put in that tin can?
SV_BubbleTime··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
There wasn’t a single successful phase3 trail of any mRNA vaccine in human or animal before the Covid vaccines were deployed.

No /s

SV_BubbleTime··on Global review confirms mRNA vaccines are safe, effective and full of promise 
> They confirmed this when the vaccines were authorized

No. They didn’t. They said it.

You were the Phase3 trial. You can probably debate the ethicality, the decisions made, but do not pretend they had 5 year data before deploying to the entire world.

Facts matter.

SV_BubbleTime··on Nano Banana 2 Lite
Public AI benchmarks are fucking stupid and can be completely ignored. Too gamed.

However, your advice is right. KREA2 and Ideogram4. The latter being less commercially usable without what I would surely assume is a pain in the ass.

SV_BubbleTime··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
Automotive EE here… every other decision about vehicles is about emissions. CAFE, the reason that a company releases X model is that they can then sell more Y models that get worse mileage.

EV is a separate thing. Vastly overmarketed for the technology as it exists today.

SV_BubbleTime··on The cost YAGNI was never about
AI 2026 still uses em dash. Next year, no such luck.
SV_BubbleTime··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
Factory F350 Platinum is at least 90k sticker.
SV_BubbleTime··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
There is a whole iceberg topic on subsidizing.

So your question is really “if they’re giving free usage, why not take advantage of it?”

I do, so I don’t know the reasons not to, other than to experiment.

SV_BubbleTime··on Show HN: Overfitted a 900KB Transformer to Compress a 100MB CSV into 7MB
Random digits are compressible though.

Random data does not mean it does not match a pattern in your dictionary for example.

SV_BubbleTime··on Framework's 10G Ethernet module exposes USB-C's complexity
I fell out of love with frameworks after buying one for myself and a few employees.

The economics/upgrade math just does not make sense.

SV_BubbleTime··on LastPass notifies users of yet another data breach
These threads are always filled with keepass people who will tell you how great it is and not mention that you’re on your fucking own for you know Miner things like syncing or mobile use.

I’m sure it works for many people to Dropbox their vault around anytime they want to access something and manually handle copies and sync. I’m not nearly so naive as to think that has any degree of success outside tech bubbled people.

SV_BubbleTime··on LastPass notifies users of yet another data breach
>The vaults were accessed years ago

> Yes, in a separate breech.

Not nearly that cut and dry.

Many, not all encrypted vaults leaked out. If you lost data it was because you used a weak master password for that vault.

SV_BubbleTime··on LastPass notifies users of yet another data breach
Agreed.

The non-story here is the data is of minor criticality.

The real story is is that however minor, you expect LastPass to be better. They’re a password storage company, in order to be trusted they need to be better than this.

SV_BubbleTime··on OpenAI unveils its first custom chip, built by Broadcom
I’m not understanding. If cost per token hits the floor that does not mean that you want a model that uses tokens.

If the Chinese are optimizing for token usage, that’s also speed.

Why use more token if few do trick?

SV_BubbleTime··on OpenAI unveils its first custom chip, built by Broadcom
I don’t know. I’m kind of glad that two of my least favorite companies are working together.
SV_BubbleTime··on OpenAI unveils its first custom chip, built by Broadcom
> A lot of companies that serve a single family of LLMs seem to prefer nvidia though. Why is that?

If you write your tools for CUDA, you’re going to prefer hardware the runs CUSA.

How is there anything more to it than this?

SV_BubbleTime··on White House delays US voting-machine vulnerability report
Yes, this makes sense that it’s OK that banks do not need to audited and proven that they handle money well, if I don’t know any bank robbers then I have no reason to suspect any issue!

Do you seriously hear yourself? Ideologue life is crazy.

SV_BubbleTime··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
I think it’s beyond a mastery of PR. They literally called it Mythos and built a literal myth around it. I mean… maybe people just want the soap opera.
