christkv··on Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
Next twelve months will be interesting in software quality.
christkv··on Playing Atari ST Music on the Amiga with Zero CPU
The no CPU Amiga demos was fantastic
christkv··on Apple Silicon costs more than OpenRouter
Bizarre running local models have nothing to do with cost. It's about privacy first and foremost
christkv··on Grafana Labs internal source code accessed
All you get is more Danes
christkv··on Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal?
There goes Peter with his fancy quartz points does he think he is better than us?
christkv··on California bill would require patches or refunds when online games shut down
I guess they will organize these games as separate companies now and let them go bankrupt instead?
christkv··on How can Apple deal with the memory shortage?
Our problem is lack of competition
christkv··on Starship V3
I wonder how you solve the cooling issue as you can only shed heat via radiation.
christkv··on Amazon employees are "tokenmaxxing" due to pressure to use AI tools
Seems to be a clear case of Goodhart's Law that states that "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure."
christkv··on Operation: Epic Furious
Reminds me of that Alex Jones shooter
christkv··on EU to crack down on TikTok, Instagram's 'addictive design' targeting kids
what about youtube shorts?
christkv··on PC Engine CPU
The X68000 was one of those mythical machines you would catch a small hint off in European gaming magazines once in a while.
christkv··on PS3 Emulator Devs Politely Ask That People Stop Flooding It with AI PRs
You are completely right it's a what is the next token guessing machine so without corpus it's guesses are worse as expected.
christkv··on PC Engine CPU
I think they tried to sell it to Nintendo at some point.
christkv··on PC Engine CPU
Amiga 500 was very popular in Europe which had those things. Framebuffer was definitely true for the Atari ST.
christkv··on PC Engine CPU
The PC Engine was such a beautiful little console. It was mind blowing to see it the first time.
christkv··on Singapore introduces caning for boys who bully others at school
I think it's important to understand why Singapore ended up where it ended after experiencing decades of multicultural violence. This guy gives a pretty good overview of why Singapore of today happened as a reaction to that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icxc_KDPrxM I think the modern equivalent case is probably El Salvador (can it become a new Singapore? Probably not).
christkv··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce
I would think cloudflare would benefit from all the vibe-coded apps as it is an easy target to deploy these on.
christkv··on Life During Class Wartime
In Europe governments make up such a big part of GDP now in some cases nearly half of it that it becomes silly to talk about the evil capitalist. We should be talking about the graft and poor spending of that money.
christkv··on Y Combinator's Stake in OpenAI (0.6%?)
AGI is defined as whatever it takes for stock holders to make $$$ I guess?
christkv··on A report on burnout in open source software communities (2025) [pdf]
Working on open source feels like working in retail a lot of the time.
christkv··on The X-Files has made me nostalgic for a time I never experienced
Oh well I guess I'm going to have to rewatch X-files now.
christkv··on Apple accidentally left Claude.md files Apple Support app
I really hope its not churning out massive amounts of code for osx and ios or we are in for some pretty interesting times in the next year or so.
christkv··on HERMES.md: Anthropic bug causes $200 extra charge, refuses refund
Just need an agent that takes them to small claims court automatically or argues with them for eternity
christkv··on He asked AI to count carbs 27000 times. It couldn't give the same answer twice
LLMs going to llm.
christkv··on AI's Economics Don't Make Sense
There is status in showing your inefficiency ?
christkv··on FCC Funding Application Notes Paramount Will Be 49.5% Foreign-Owned Post-Merger
That was executive orders that got shutdown and its because congress controls the purse and they did not pass a law.
christkv··on AI's economics don't make sense
I'm just flabbergasted at the massive inefficient usage of tokens. What are people doing to spend 500 usd/day in tokens. I just don't understand what you could possibly be doing that would be not complete spagetti at the end if you run something in an autoloop.
christkv··on UAE to leave OPEC
They represent 4.5% of oil production it seems. It will be interesting to see what this means longterm.
christkv··on Can you stop beans from making you gassy?
Hmm too bad he did not try out the method I use which is soaking in water with a bit of baking soda. You got to rinse the beans well before cooking them. Would be interesting to know if it really makes a difference on the gas. It does on the skin though making them much softer.
