cevn··on Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
You might be right, i set this up quite some time ago. I don’t think I saw bedrock dedicated servers before.
cevn··on Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
Maybe bc it completely sidesteps the question? I have a nephew who is 7yrs old who only has an iPad and i can play with him due to geysermc, which is the correct answer.
cevn··on Deutsche Bank becomes first foreign yuan clearing bank in Europe
Are u serious? If ur oil refinery is destroyed how are you going to pump oil to your house?
cevn··on Europe EV Sales BEVs Jump 50% & Reach 26% Market Share
It's worked for me for about 10 years. Maybe don't forget if it's so critical that you get to work the next day. Sounds like you have a skill issue
cevn··on Advertise in ChatGPT
Reading LLM's all day makes me really cynical, and I have to suppress the urge to judge all text written in that sense. SO I get where they are coming from, but people need to consider that they can be wrong, and that there is a real person whose feelings you can hurt by saying "OH this is like LLM, gotem!"
cevn··on Advertise in ChatGPT
This one is so short and only has one LLM-ism, it's entirely possible it was human, I'm 60/40 on it. Unless you are 100% sure it was LLM, please don't call it out.

It turns off if you uncheck "hokousha/pedestrian network". Based on their placement I'm pretty sure they are elevators, I wonder if they actually do have that angle.
cevn··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
That is interesting, I had no idea comments were used in the process. I've only been using frontier models with maxed thinking, but this could be useful on the other end.
cevn··on Annoying and alarming things about OpenCode
I actually share that opinion of no comment from LLMs. I just dont want to read them. So as usual, an opinion is… an opinion.
cevn··on GTX 1080s: Testing a Legend
I use it in my guest PC, it comfortably hits 165 fps in Rocket League at 1080p. Something about using the 1080 for 1080p feels poetic.
cevn··on EEG shows brain can simultaneous encode two speech streams
I think everyone does this. It reminds me of a possible related phenomenon. The act of remembering what you do takes a few extra brain cells, to enable the “recording function “. If you are on complete autopilot, doing a routine task, you will often forget to turn on the recording function. Like the other day I tried to remember whther I had run the dryer and realized it had been completely optimized out of my memory.
cevn··on TS-2026-009: Insecure argument handling in Tailscale SSH permitted root access
Nice, this makes me feel a little better.
cevn··on TS-2026-009: Insecure argument handling in Tailscale SSH permitted root access
Good point. I self host headscale but it also has the ssh feature, probably also insecure.
cevn··on AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit
eh, i gotta system76 pangolin with all amd and it's been solid
cevn··on GPT-5.6
Sounds like you are talking past each other. GP is saying the harness of codex is higher quality, which I can believe, even if the models are not as good as Opus/Fable.
cevn··on Immich 3.0
Awesome!!!
cevn··on Immich 3.0
I'm on iPhone, i found a workaround involving having headscale set the dns using 'magicdns' or something and having that pihole join the tailnet. after that everything is mostly groovy but the individual components don't easily seem to be able to connect to a different vpn.
cevn··on Immich 3.0
I remember having problems using tailscale vpn 24/7 and pihole on my home network with the phone pointed at the 192.168 address for DNS. Pages would take 5s to resolve and start loading.

Unfortunately, Pihole was less important than Tailscale and I have to put up with mobile ads.

cevn··on Immich 3.0
I would love to know if there's a way to secure this though. I'm not prepared to have people constantly trying to login to my immich instance so it's only accessible via VPN
cevn··on Since Linux 6.9, LUKS suspend stopped wiping disk-encryption keys from memory
Bugs happen in all code. The difference is, anyone can fix stuff in open source. Closed source bugs are out of control and must be worked around. Usually by switching to OSS
cevn··on Fable 5 Is Back
twitter? are u sure it's not ur corporate?
cevn··on Ford AI hiccups push carmaker to rehire ‘gray beard’ inspectors
The other day claude spun up 100 agents and took an hour to type 30k token document to tell me something was impossible to do. I googled it, found a pr on the 3rd link that showed it was possible. "You're absolutely right!!"
cevn··on Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models
Same. It was one shotting unbelievably well compared to 4.8.
cevn··on Correlated randomness in Slay the Spire 2
Yup, that explains it. Thank you.
cevn··on Correlated randomness in Slay the Spire 2
I wonder if this can explain something happening to me. If I select "random" at character select, I had a run of 30 or 40 where I never received the Silent. Defect seem to come up more often than it should, and Ironclad less often.

I didn't write a blog post.

cevn··on Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People (2016)
Claims of AGI imply that LLM's have intelligence. They don't, they are fancy probability machines. They don't THINK the way we do, they just do 200 matrix multiplications until their training data is massaged into what you need. They don't dream, they don't remember what you tell them. Even if you write one sentence, 'attention' means they will ignore half of what you say and key in on the wrong thing. This just happened to me today on a frontier model.

I'm not saying that AGI is impossible, but the focus on LLM's is probably not the right approach. I don't think we will ever make it until we understand the human mind better.

What's 1.05 x 0? Even if you run it 1000 times, it's still 0.

If someone puts me on with a voice AI i'm never talking to them again lol.
