bt1a··on The engineering behind the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve
id imagine if you have the location of a site that the largest pipes visible from satellite photography would be consistently scaled in some manner with the tank size. this is guess

Yea man the federal government is on top of protecting civilian groundwater supplies and communicating discoveries of contamination
bt1a··on Backups Aren't Simple
importantly, does your die have a side that corresponds to a multi-continental cataclysmic natural disaster of magnitude only known unknown to pre-recorded-history

Something like fpcalc for soundbytes? Neat
bt1a··on 216M Spy TVs – The LG Smart TV Problem [video]
Is anyone else thinking of cracking open the back cover and desoldering any wireless chips found? I have had a firewall rule to deny my LG TV and related domains, but that doesn't look to be enough
bt1a··on How we made a text-to-speech model respond in sub-50 ms
I'm going to see how this shakes out on my machine with a few 3090s. I see you all are leveraging some custom cuda kernels, so it may not work out of the box on Ampere (30xx) architecture yeah?
bt1a··on LLMs reward expertise
I love larping as a vacant scrum master
bt1a··on LLMs reward expertise
I often do my best to represent a genuine interest in the subject at hand and learning in general to models. Imagine the model's response prose and mannerisms being on the other polar end of answering questions simply to get the correct answers as they're often scoped for on quantitative benchmarks. Not sure I explained this well, sorry. An LLM could help
bt1a··on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter
I can't run my solo projects
bt1a··on Yt-Dlp Sequence Diagrams
"Auto-generated"? As in... a defined translation from one abstraction layer to another? Disagree
bt1a··on Rotman Lens
I was expecting some sort of fungal network with measurable compute on initial glance. Then the article image couldn't help but look quite like the outline of an Earthbound entity.
bt1a··on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter
it will be impossible to maintain parity with wetware
bt1a··on Using XDG-Compliant Config Files (2024)
Appreciate the insight
bt1a··on Using XDG-Compliant Config Files (2024)
Genuinely curious- what would the cross platform compatibility help with? Ease of migration? I don't remember configuring many win programs with notation like such, just the PATH
bt1a··on Antigravity 2.0 Tops the OpenSCAD Architectural 3D LLM Benchmark
i thought it mainly implied architectural/hardware compatibility and deterministic output
bt1a··on OpenWarp
guessing it spits you out on Win11?

Thats awesome lmao

bt1a··on Arm AGI CPU
Oh wow already in use by Meta, OpenAI, and more ?? https://www.arm.com/products/cloud-datacenter/arm-agi-cpu/ec...

The TDP to memory bandwidth& capacity ratio form these blades is in a class of its own, yes?

bt1a··on Apple Business
You may want to look into Karabiner Elements. Understandable if one doesn't want to have to allow a privileged daemon access to key inputs, but it allows for complex, application-focus-aware shortcuts. In the past I used a "Windows on MacOS" config preset because it allowed for my 60~70 key keyboard to operate similarly across win/linux/macos. Finally killed my last windows boot drive and main linux... but I do have a ritualistic annual step into a windows vm to file taxes on crack err with a crakced turbotax hehehe. In-tooits lobbying malpractice is deserving of petty flippancy
bt1a··on Waymo Safety Impact
I'm only a little weirded out when they're right next to me stopped at a light and that thang is spinnin and making note of me
bt1a··on Waymo Safety Impact
I've been observing their behavior in Atlanta for about the past year. Our roads here are fairly curvy, hilly, and lacking of expected markings, yet I haven't seen a driverless Waymo vehicle make a single odd move. One thing that brought a smile to my face was when I came to a 4-way stop at the same time as a Waymo vehicle at night & I flash my brights to tell the other vehicle to go ahead (southern hospitality) and I see the Waymo immediately begin its course through the intersection. I was so jolted that I began to tail it in order to pull up next to it to see if there was a human behind the wheel. Watching it drive down this slowly descending hilly road with intermittent speed humps and cars parked alongside the main right lane gave me a close up view of its slightly curving trajectory and braking behavior with regard to the humps. My thought on human or not was inconclusive until we reached a red light, and as I shot my eyes over and saw an empty driver seat, I smiled widely knowing that the software responds to brights flashed at 4-way stops (please don't tell me it doesn't and it just saw me indecisively not initiate at the stop). Thanks for reading
bt1a··on GPT-5.3-Codex
This is most likely an inference serving problem in terms of capacity and latency given that Opus X and the latest GPT models available in the API have always responded quickly and slowly, respectively
bt1a··on Running Claude Code dangerously (safely)
I wouldn't put it past Opus 4.5 in yolo mode to vm escape if it felt like it haha
bt1a··on US Job Openings Decline to Lowest Level in More Than a Year
transportation, warehousing, and utilities being a headlining loser here is the most striking.... perhaps?
bt1a··on Stranger Things creator says turn off “garbage” settings
I have my LG TV dumbed down with some firewall rules in OPNsense. Something similar may help you
bt1a··on Calendar
No need to look too closely, now ;)
bt1a··on AI documentation you can talk to, for every repo
I wonder what incentives for adherence to the use of this meta-tag might exist? For example, imagine I send you my digital resume and it has an AI-generated footer tag on display? Maybe a bad example- I like the idea of this in general, but my mind wanders to the fact that large entities completely ignored the wishes of robots.txt when collecting the internet's text for their training corpuses
bt1a··on Anthropic irks White House with limits on models’ use
Everyone spies and abuses individuals' privacy. What difference does it make? (Granted I would agree with you if Anthropic were indeed a foreign based entity, so am I contradicting myself wonderfully?)
