fl0id··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
AI does this when it's not warranted, and even happily writes two functions with the same purpose.
fl0id··on Auto mode is now the default in Claude Code
Not only fable. Opus does this too. Which is exactly why I want to review. Like recently for some task it was convinced in a site dump images are not there and convinced itself db and files were skewed. But it didn’t check the actual site … if I hadn’t stopped it, it would have fine on and on or wasted tokens on some elaborate ‘fix’.
fl0id··on Web Security is Too Hard
in my experience, usually it knows this (it is in the system prompt) but it can still get confused. Especially with skills for example, some skills might only work in claude code/outside of sandbox or in desktop but not on web. And it would sometimes not know if it was on the web or desktop.
fl0id··on Show HN: Kakehashi – Experimental userspace to run macOS binaries on Linux ARM
with games, afaik that is mostly necessary for assets. For an OS, this would basically like a VM and is slower/more overhead.
fl0id··on ChatGPT, Roblox to fall under strictest EU rules for platforms
Which is also with good reason, as there's tons of ways to make your profit basically zero or even negative.
fl0id··on ChatGPT, Roblox to Fall Under Strictest EU Rules for Platforms
You don't need to "wager" robux for it to be gambling. You pay real money for robux (or whatever intermediate "currency") then spend robux to buy lootboxes (for example) which then by having very bad odds to get the thing you actually want, counts as gambling.
fl0id··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
heating up is normal, that cannot be avoided. it should become laggy, but you just have very little RAM (I assume 16 GB?) So most models are too big with other stuff running.
fl0id··on Thanks HN for 15 years of support and helping me find my life's work
At the time, the job market was quite different. But even now, I would assume it is very difficult to get good information to do this, similary as it is difficult to have people fill out accurate dating profiles. Both the company as well as applicants have at least a partial incentive to not be truthful, omit some things, or just write what they think they are like, as opposed to what it is really like.
fl0id··on Show HN: ReasonGate- An explainable gate that blocks LLM prompt injection
what is this garbage readme? Reads like you llm'd the crap out of it, and I still don't know if it's something real or slopware
fl0id··on Reynard: A real Firefox web browser for iOS 13 or later
TrollStore is just for old devices. On devices which natively support alternative stores, enabling something like altstore the first time is annoying (because apple makes it so) but after that it's not a problem and doesn't need to recertificate afaik.
fl0id··on Why it's so difficult to produce American-made medical gloves
It's all a question of price, based on the article. And not planning how much it takes to start up. In any case it's also not feasible to keep a plant on standby, just in case you need it one day.
fl0id··on 30papers.com – Ilya's 30 essential ML papers, in a beginner friendly format
What is the easily accessible part? Just that they are on one website? At first I thought there would be more explanation or other addons.
fl0id··on Asahi Linux 7.1 Progress Report
Because it explicitly has tooling for custom boot objects etc, and stated by asahi developers, maybe also apple people they know.
fl0id··on Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck
Sometimes, sure, but as someone new, you have no power to change it. Department head might, I cannot really say. In addition, I believe funding agencies have the bigger role, and they also have such requirements.
fl0id··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
If they were real about risk, they would have to block a lot more models.
fl0id··on Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck
There are not if you are working in it. Some grants for example include provisions that you publish in tier so and so journals. If that is the case, there might be one of those that is open-access / independent, but more likely there is not.
fl0id··on Springer Nature has removed two studies by Max Planck
When their jobs don't depend on it. (as in it is evaluated for hiring and promotion) Ofc it differs depending on discipline.
fl0id··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
You don't need money for the UG either. You might need money for operating expenses later etc, but that's not what OP complained about and should be similar for an LLC. (Depending on type of business, location etc)
fl0id··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
There's other types of companies. Like UG or freelancers or GbR.
fl0id··on United Wizards of the Coast recognized by NLRB
US unionization tbh sounds a bit like works council election in Germany, as that happens per business / vendor etc and fe in case of delivery apps or Tesla, Amazon etc is met with hostility
fl0id··on I indexed 669 GB of my GoPro videos using my M1 Max computer and local ML models
it is possible to use apple gpu with containers. either with podman + runkit + recent mesa or with recent vllm-metal from docker https://www.docker.com/blog/docker-model-runner-vllm-metal-m...
fl0id··on Claude Opus 4.8
tbh, the last 2-3 version bumps, main change has been that they take longer, and cost more/have more usage restrictions. (combined with new tooling, which eats a ton of tokens)
fl0id··on Killed by Apple
iphone mini. sure you could argue nobody wants it. i agree most other things there were just old, renamed, folded into sth else or obsolete etc.
fl0id··on Microsoft terminates VeraCrypt account, halting Windows updates
isn't the issue more that this also needs to be included by default in Windows?
fl0id··on Unsloth Studio
Does it use gpu support on mac? At least when running setup, it said cpu only.
fl0id··on Philosoph Jürgen Habermas Gestorben
that has nothing to do with it. you can see the same thing in other conflicts. it's just more convenient to look away.
fl0id··on Building a TUI is easy now
It’s not easy to build a good tui though. Like fe compare Claude code and opencode. Opencode is an atrocious approximation of a window system as a tui.
fl0id··on FFmpeg has issued a DMCA takedown on GitHub
AFAIK it has enough precedent (also depending a bit on jurisdiction, but you only need one) but the interpretations of what that/the license should cover differ. Like f e if you wanted to argue driver devs would have to open-source their firmware blobs or their proprietary driver loaded by a kernel shim you will have a tough time and prob lose
fl0id··on Firefox will have an option to disable all AI features
They have some of that. Password sync is free for example though. (If private enough for you) and they have email relay and vpn as a paid feature
fl0id··on Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?
You can also just do tab groups in ffx
