I like to make stuff.

beardsciences··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
There's no way this wasn't meant to coincide with Anthropic's release today.
beardsciences··on Claude Opus 5.5 Intelligence, Performance and Price Analysis
I am very interested in why it was able to overthink that much. In the 20-30mins of Max reasoning I've had so far, I'm not having the same issues (yet).
beardsciences··on AWS: Inaccurate Estimated Billing Data – $1.7 billion
I made something that tries to highlight the humor regarding this:

beardsciences··on Ask HN: Did Fable disappear from your Claude usage and requires credits now?
Can confirm, just now.
beardsciences··on Cost Exploder – your AWS bill × 2³⁰
I wanted to make something topical that highlights the humor surrounding the AWS billing issue. Please don't hesitate to let me know what you think.
beardsciences··on Forgejo v16.0 Is Available
I love Forgejo!
beardsciences··on Jamesob's guide to running SOTA LLMs locally
I am somewhere in the middle, where I want something with more than 48GB/$2k of VRAM, but less than 384GB/$40k.

I'm curious if GMKtec's EVO-X2, with ~96GB of usable VRAM, is still a good solution for something like this for $3,399.

beardsciences··on Upcoming breaking changes for npm v12
I literally said "Oh, of course" out loud.
beardsciences··on Show HN: Watch a neural net learn to play Snake
My average eventually made it to about 3900, and then stagnated between 3600-3900. I'm curious if this is universal behavior or not. I'm up to about 5k steps.
beardsciences··on Show HN: GhostBox – Borrow a disposable little machine from the Global Free Tier
The repository now appears to be disabled.

beardsciences··on Show HN: GhostBox – Borrow a disposable little machine from the Global Free Tier
This idea is great in concept, and I think it's important to state that, but the GitHub Actions stuff is against TOS iirc + they will need to address that pretty quickly.
beardsciences··on We reproduced Anthropic's Mythos findings with public models
I believe this has the same issue as the last article that had these claims.

We can assume that Mythos was given a much less pointed prompt/was able to come up with these vulnerabilities without specificity, while smaller models like Opus/GPT 5.4 had to be given a specific area or hints about where the vulnerability lives.

Please correct me if I'm wrong/misunderstanding.

beardsciences··on An update on Steam / GOG changes for OpenTTD
I'm glad that Atari was willing to compromise at all. I'm happy with the updated response, and hope that it helps others understand the nuance of the situation. Anyone can still go download the main release from the official site.
beardsciences··on Show HN: Micasa – track your house from the terminal
This is looking pretty good. Going to run some sample data runs + might try this out.
beardsciences··on Track Your Routine – Open-source app for task management
I was coming to look for a comment like this.

It may say more about me than the person writing these type of README's, but if I see more than one or two emojis in a README, I immediately assume it was fully generated rather than written.

beardsciences··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
Very interesting. I would be curious to understand how granular these updates are being applied to CC + what might be causing things like this. I feel like I can notice a very small degradation but have compensated with more detailed prompts (which I think, perhaps naively, is offsetting this issue).
beardsciences··on Booting from a vinyl record (2020)
Simply Amazing. I'd love to know more about this.
beardsciences··on Booting from a vinyl record (2020)
appears to be hugged to death for now.
beardsciences··on Nix Derivation Madness
That makes sense, thanks for clarifying. Great writeup.
beardsciences··on Nix Derivation Madness
If I understand this correctly, upcoming Ca-derivations will fix this by making these situations expected, properly-handled cases rather than a weird bug? https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Ca-derivations
beardsciences··on Servo v0.0.1
Whether it's something like this, or ladybird's engine, I'm happy there is work being made in this space.
beardsciences··on I saved a PNG image to a bird
This is really incredible. I love easter eggs/hidden things in spectrograms. The implications of this are really cool, regardless of whether is it lossy or not.
beardsciences··on I spent a year designing a low profile, minimal mechanical keyboard
I really like the design of this - including the number row.
