eurekin··on What the F*ck Is Artificial General Intelligence?
Im a big AI/ML enthusiast (published one paper!) and was always flabbergasted to see scientists go off the typical provable/ testable lane and venture into philosophical and emotional territories
eurekin··on Traefik's 10-year anniversary
Oh, the static/dynamic split is brutal (and I believe some options have been moved around)...

Once you referenced routers, middleware and services simply by name, but that changed into per-source scoped versions (e.g. service1@file, middleware@docker).

I kept bumping into those edge cases (custom SSL cert set-up was really confusing), but thanks to chatgpt, I at least ended up with workable solutions.

eurekin··on YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers
Oh how incredibly convenient.

Plus, making ad blocking a channel owner's problem is kind of genius.

eurekin··on Ask HN: What's a good 3D Printer for sub $1000?
Bambulab A1 user here.

It's nice for simple stuff, but wouldn't recommend for anything needing precision. In the beginning it was laying out perfect layers, but after 6 months just lost it. Been doing every possible maintenance stuff and it just doesn't go back.

eurekin··on How does air pollution impact your brain?
I'm personally betting, that they simply have easier access to more information, comparing to me at the same age.

When I started Uni, the "A diploma will guarantee you great job opportunities" mantra was unshakeable.

Now I think, the pendulum swung so hard in the other direction, that kids of same age have tons of refuttals at their disposal. It must take a lot more work, from parents, to instill and motivate what was once seen as a good career starter.

Certainly not defending LLMs here, don't mistake with that.

Humans do it too. I have given up on my country's non-local information sources, because I could recognize original sources that are being deliberately omitted. There's a satiric webpage that is basically a reddit scrape. Most of users don't notice and those who do, don't seem to care.

Kagi user here.

When I started using it (~ 2 years) , it was necessary. Google was simply not solving any of my actual issues (software related).

Now, It seems that google might have improved a bit. I check from time to time and the gap isn't as huge, as when Kagi started

eurekin··on What Are Traces and Spans in OpenTelemetry?
We do. 0.5%
eurekin··on What Are Traces and Spans in OpenTelemetry?
Plus that tens of terabytes of data you have to store for a week worth of traces
eurekin··on Nvidia DGX Spark
So how many generation T/s we can expect for a dense model?

I assume we can go up to 120B using fp8?

eurekin··on AWS CEO says using AI to replace junior staff is 'Dumbest thing I've ever heard'
Not often article makes me want to buy shares. Like... never. This article is spot on.
eurekin··on Custom telescope mount using harmonic drives and ESP32
Can concur. I jump between OnShape and FreeCAD in my free time. OnShape feels very polished. I go back to FreeCAD, because I've bought some models, I don't want to publish in OnShape's free tier.

It's amazing how much can be done, but anything that I think will take an hour, lasts 6. Many times into the night.

eurekin··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything
I have that turned off, but even if, I only use chat for software development
eurekin··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything
Oh, I went through that. o3 had the same memories and was always to the point.
eurekin··on Claude says “You're absolutely right!” about everything
My very brief interaction with GPT5 is that it's just weird.

"Sure, I'll help you stop flirting with OOMs"

"Thought for 27s Yep-..." (this comes out a lot)

"If you still graze OOM at load"

"how far you can push --max-model-len without more OOM drama"

- all this in a prolonged discussion about CUDA and various llm runners. I've added special user instructions to avoid flowery language, but it gets ignored.

EDIT: it also dragged conversation for hours. I ended up going with latest docs and finally, all issues with CUDA in a joint tabbyApi and exllamav2 project cleared up. It just couldn't find a solution and kept proposing, whatever people wrote in similar issues. It's reasoning capabilities are in my eyes greatly exaggarated.

eurekin··on GPT-OSS vs. Qwen3 and a detailed look how things evolved since GPT-2
I'm running a30-a3b-instruct q6 quant on exllamav2 and checked few simple tasks in roo and cline. Prompt adherence, tool calling and file changing worked flawlessly
eurekin··on GPT-OSS vs. Qwen3 and a detailed look how things evolved since GPT-2
Using tabbyApi and exLlamav2.
eurekin··on GPT-OSS vs. Qwen3 and a detailed look how things evolved since GPT-2
I'm still in awe that a local 3090 gpu was able to run the qwen3 coder instruct 30b-a3b exl3 q6 and...

Was able to create a sample page, tried starting a server, recognising a leftover server was running, killing it (and forced a prompt for my permission), retrying and finding out it's ip for me to open in the browser.

This isn't a demo anymore. That's actually very useful help for interns/juniors already.

eurekin··on ChatGPT Is Still a Bullshit Machine
Unusual for such outlets to take jabs at prominent companies. Normally, they are much more lenient. Interesting
eurekin··on The surprise deprecation of GPT-4o for ChatGPT consumers
I couldn't be more confused by this launch...

I had gpt-5 only on my account for the most of today, but now I'm back at previous choices (including my preferred o3).

Had gpt-5 been pulled? Or, was it only a preview?

eurekin··on Scientific fraud has become an 'industry,' analysis finds
Same here. I think it's one of those fields that feel polar opposite to, what they advertise to be.
eurekin··on I'm Switching to Python and Actually Liking It
Unfortunately, might not be easy in practice. It took years of effort to pass some certifications and audits and I don't think adding another language could be recouped now
eurekin··on I'm Switching to Python and Actually Liking It
I'm at a java shop. All customer facing apps are in java. Our tools and glue code is mostly in python. Similar for data processing workflows
eurekin··on YouTube's new anti-adblock measures
Same here. Netflix, Hulu, Disney plus, HBO... I've had them disabled after months of zero usage.

YouTube on the other hand...

eurekin··on They Asked an A.I. Chatbot Questions. The Answers Sent Them Spiraling
> chatbot instructed him to give up sleeping pills and an anti-anxiety medication, and to increase his intake of ketamine

That's 3 medications?

Also, how convenient those stories come out in light of upcoming "regulatory" safekeeping measures.

This whole article reads like 4-chan greentext or some teenage fanfiction.

eurekin··on Android 16 Is Here
I think this topic returns with some regularity... It often ends with justification about the need for a promotion of a particular executive that is involved with that inevitably undeniable success
eurekin··on Windows 10 spies on your use of System Settings (2021)
> it returned 2021.1019.1.0, whatever that means

That looks like a version number...

Would like to see more of the captured data, because a simple "about" dialog, would also need to call some server to check, if it software is in the latest version. To display the "you have the latest version" label.

eurekin··on OpenAI slams court order to save all ChatGPT logs, including deleted chats
In my domain, our set of services only authorizes Customer Centre system to do so. I guess I'd need to ask them for details, but I always assumed they have checks in place
eurekin··on Cursor 1.0
I received the e-mail exactly 15 hours ago:
