ValleZ··on Nvidia announces native GPU programming in Rust
Not all crap is created equal, some needs censoring.
ValleZ··on The Strongest El Niño Ever
It was fairly impossible to find a restaurant in Paris that had an AC not so long time ago. It’s totally not an issue in states.
ValleZ··on European digital ID wallets rely on safety services of Google and Apple
Play Integrity checks if app was tampered with. Hardware attestations can only guarantee key's source and cannot be used to check app integrity.
ValleZ··on Google Gemma 4 Runs Natively on iPhone with Full Offline AI Inference
There are many apps to run local LLMs on both iOS & Android
ValleZ··on It's hard to justify Tahoe icons
It’s hard to justify the UI rant when there is annoying snowflakes animation on top of it.
ValleZ··on The Theatre of Pull Requests and Code Review
If you split all the changes for a feature this way not only you hide the way all changes interact with each other but also make the development at least 10x longer because an average approval time is often more than a day.
ValleZ··on Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure
It's because an average Apple engineer has to enter his password at least 10 times a day and it's kind of no big deal for them. Source: I was an Apple eng.

ValleZ··on GLP-1 drugs: An economic disruptor? (2024)
Then wait another 50 years, easy.
ValleZ··on Reasons to Not Parse Localized Strings
The same way as people who use periods. 1,004.004
ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
Actually after reading it more carefully I probably see why it didn't work for me, but the notes in the page are bizarre:

* Avoid special characters such as * in M*A*S*H, use MASH instead.

Since when a common ASCII character is a special one? What about more common unicode characters I use?

* Do not abbreviate the Season folder with S01 or SE01 or alike.

I.e. if I put anything not in the folder named "Season XX" it won't work? Ugh... really?

* Season folders shouldn't contain the series name, otherwise Jellyfin can in certain cases (Stargate SG-1 due to the dash and one, for instance) misdetect your episodes and put them all under the same season.

Well, how about to fix it?

* Episode numbering for specials may vary from metadata provider to metadata provider.

Very helpful, so the "Series XX" required above won't always work.

And even if everything above fails why not to sort by name? It should not be hard for any engineer, right?

ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
I have the series in their own folders. I tried to do a more nested structure to no avail. After a day of attempts to fix it I switched to Plex and it despite having its own quirks just worked fine.
ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
Thanks, I can google. For some reason Jellyfin totally ignores folder structures for me.
ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
I have one folder with movies and series. It shows as a randomized mix, maybe it uses something like modification time by default? It's definitely not by name.
ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
Then I could not figure how to make it work. Plex did that without any effort from my side though
ValleZ··on Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System
Jellyfin is not able to group series together and on top of that shows everything in random order, why bother with it when there are alternatives that can do that?
ValleZ··on XMPP: The Gem of Instant Messaging
Awhile ago. XEP-0286 (mobile connection improvements) dated 2018-01-25. File sharing has many different XEPs and I have no idea which works, but I know that early XEPs usually didn't work because of NAT. XEP-0384 (encryption) dated 2022-01-18.
ValleZ··on XMPP: The Gem of Instant Messaging
XMPP was not a mobile friendly protocol for a while, had efficiently no security out of the box and lacked simplest things like image or other file transfers.
ValleZ··on Phrase matching in Marginalia Search
Removing stop words is usually a bad advice which is beneficial only in a limited set of circumstances. Google keeps all the “the”: https://www.google.com/search?q=the
ValleZ··on Google Pixel 9 Pro
It will probably run 2B models, there are many more options for iOS, try it out.

Oh, there is a readable JavaScript inside!

Yep, likely my iPhone to blame

It doesn’t work on phone, sigh

I was asked to invent this algorithm on a whiteboard in 30 minutes. Loved it.

I wonder why not to publish it on Google Play?

You can run it on Android too. Not very fast though.
ValleZ··on Building an Open Source Decentralized E-Book Search Engine
Is this an actual search engine or just a front end which builds “select from” queries?
ValleZ··on App to Run LLMs on Android
It's closed source for now, but it's based on llama.cpp and I'm planning to improve the included android example in the llama.cpp
