evrimoztamur··on Ideas aren't getting harder to find, anyone who tells you otherwise is a coward
The Ruliad is infinite
evrimoztamur··on A brief history of the Bloomberg terminal
Wrong take. Bloomberg has a data monopoly on certain asset classes, most importantly bonds.
evrimoztamur··on How Trail of Bits helps verify the integrity of Signal chats
You commented this twice, what's your backing, besides 'they're non-commercial thus must be fed by nefarious actors'?
evrimoztamur··on Show HN: Godot and Rust based multiplexer (terminal panes and more)
This is such a cursed combination... I really don't understand what you get from Godot that benefits you for building a TTY "multiplexer."

Wildly vibe-coded to the extent that it's more misguided than Doom on a pregnancy test...

Also looking at OP's notes here, there doesn't even seem to be a need for this to exist, "FPS counter" ..? Perhaps, I don't know, fake terminals on a spaceship or something. Yueash...

evrimoztamur··on Show HN: Open-Source eInk Bike Computer
I can't imagine using this in the Netherlands with random rain. The tradeoffs are hard to accept, wondering how it looks and performs in various weather conditions, and if a physical buttoned shell is worth it...
evrimoztamur··on GPT 5.6 Sol is the best "vision" model OpenAI ever released
OpenAI team sounds like they've misidentified the root cause for this particular case then.
evrimoztamur··on GPT 5.6 Sol is the best "vision" model OpenAI ever released
Penny sample shown looks like failed EXIF orientation registered by the model/harness. The coins are correctly marked, it's rotated 90 degrees.
evrimoztamur··on How to pack ternary numbers in 8-bit bytes
Would having 16 bits to pack a tuple of ternary numbers have a potential to give even better efficiency?
evrimoztamur··on Web-based cryptography is always snake oil
Anything you see rendered onto a screen is no longer secure though, or is it a hyperbole to phrase it this way?
evrimoztamur··on One year of Roto, a compiled scripting language for Rust
Does anyone know if the Roto runtime is serde-able?

A big problem I encountered in using Lua in Rust for my game engine was that I wasn't able to serde the Lua runtime such that I can snapshot a game session and save it in a file, and retrieve it in another context.

evrimoztamur··on A few interesting modern pixel fonts
Geist looks like unadulterated garbage, a sloppy rendition of a vector font onto a pixel grid, lack of character and care to banding and shape...
evrimoztamur··on Gaussian Splat of a Strawberry
There is a faint sensation of translucency, I wonder if that's an artefact of the process, or if it's the actual optics of the surface layer if the strawberry...
evrimoztamur··on Nucleus Nouns
Identifying the right taxonomy is not only an exercise in naming things, but also building the appropriate data structures and systems in your programs. I think this exercise is incomplete in the absence of studying how these nouns interact with one another.

I don't think that a loose-hanging 'payment intent' evokes a particular emotion, without its constituents' (credit cards, direct debits, cryptocurrencies) relationship to other nouns (customers, invoices, taxes, countries).

evrimoztamur··on John Carmack about open source and anti-AI activists
There is a major difference between open-sourcing a completed product versus being an open source maintainer, and I'm disappointed that Carmack is drawing a false equivalence here.
evrimoztamur··on Put the zip code first
In the Netherlands most websites use a common routing database to map a combination of a ZIP code and house number (+ suffix) to your exact address automatically. Great UX! And naturally depends on good administrative and postal services data quality.
evrimoztamur··on Weave – A language aware merge algorithm based on entities
I would love it if sem was hooked up into a PR review UI...
evrimoztamur··on When AI writes the software, who verifies it?
Why are they expected to?
evrimoztamur··on 0 A.D. Release 28: Boiorix
Isn't this Mount and Blade?
evrimoztamur··on A sane but bull case on Clawdbot / OpenClaw
Sane is an adjective, 'X but Y Noun' expects Y to be an adjective if X is also such. Sane/Bull Case-> Sane/Bullish Case
evrimoztamur··on Non-Zero-Sum Games
Social credit systems upset people because of distrust in the system operators.
evrimoztamur··on Analysis finds anytime electricity from solar available as battery costs plummet
Baseload, ideally.
evrimoztamur··on iPhone Typos? It's Not Just You – The iOS Keyboard Is Broken [video]
The issue is that when you press down, the key you pressed down on first is not the registered character, it's where you release your finger at. When you type fast and you slide your fingers around, it misregisters.
evrimoztamur··on Counter-Strike's player economy is in a freefall
Yanis Varoufakis is now writing and warning us about digital feudalism, seemingly based on his learnings at his Valve tenure.

Valve, as a digital feudalist, generates funds, practically for free, from both transactions of items and the lootboxes. It operates the markets on which digital goods are traded, taxes all sales occurring on these platforms.

evrimoztamur··on Nvidia has produced the first Blackwell wafer on US soil
Just print more money, it's a matter of national security. If the US is in a distrustful state, it's a good investment for the government, military or non-military (e.g. global trade getting more expensive for various reasons).
evrimoztamur··on The gaslit asset class
Money's capacity to organise labour is still very much real.
evrimoztamur··on The gaslit asset class
Bitcoin is about moving large amounts of money around and evading taxes whenever possible.
evrimoztamur··on Will AI be the basis of many future industrial fortunes, or a net loser?
Pollock can get uncountable bytes of entropy from a skilful swing of a bucket.
evrimoztamur··on NASA finds Titan's lakes may be creating vesicles with primitive cell walls
Life exists at the boundaries of density changes.

It makes absolutely no sense that the code would precede the hardware, and the hardware needs shielding.

evrimoztamur··on Patrick Winston: How to Speak (2018) [video]
I feel like (or thought that) I had the ability to listen and read at the same time, until I heard that line, and it hit me like a bag of bricks. I absolutely cannot read and listen simultaneously! I can type and listen on the other hand, although it feels like I buffer the keystrokes than consciously typing out new sentences...
