holoduke··on I Love the Computer
Of course I learned from it. I mean the reverse engineering part which is basically try and error is something I rather skip. The remaining things like wiring the hardware is still there. The boring stuff is what the LLM can do for me. I still find the process to get stuff working challenging and interesting. It's not only about the end result. It's just a different approach than the old school low level one
holoduke··on I Love the Computer
I just reversed engineered large parts of my 2011 car odb comms. Was able to hook a stm32 board to the car communication and have full control over a lot of stuff so that I can build my own instrument cluster from a lcd screen. It literally took me one evening to get the first proof of concept working. I never touched stm32 stuff before.
holoduke··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
It would be so extremely awesome if this ai would have been a Claude killer alternative and 90% of Europe cancels Claude subscriptions and subscribe on this one. It would be the dumbest move of the year by the US.
holoduke··on GLM 5.2 Is Out
Is this comical satire or what? I am surprised to see such a dillusional reply. Come on. Intellectual property theft and openai rings a bell? Ethics? Ever tried uncensored versions of gemma4? LLMs have no bad or good etics. Etics are a thin layer on top. Always. You must be joking.
holoduke··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
For 3d engine stuff yes it's a lot better. It managed to replicate crimson deserts occlusion mapping stuff. 4.7/8 was not
holoduke··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
That index is a product of the institute itself. Funded by non democratic values. Worthless junk / progoganda piece if you ask me.
holoduke··on How we made hit video game Prince of Persia
pop.exe -megahit is what I remember to cheat. Then ctrl combinations for powers.
holoduke··on Fully autonomous drones have killed human soldiers for the first time
You are misinformed. Ukraine is used as cannon fodder by western institutions. You talk about Ukraine taking decisions. I can tell you that the normal Joe in Ukraine is completely sidelined in decisions. The whole country is controlled by foreign powers. A lot of western people call this Russian propoganda. They can't see that their own governments are at the wrong side of history. In the meantime it's hypocritical behavior is visible all over the world.
holoduke··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
Speed is indeed a next big thing what should happen with LLM frontier models. The possibilities with current models but 1000 times faster would be super useful. Earlier this week it took Claude at least full time a week with two max subscriptions to solve a complex issue where we wanted to mimic a occlusion mapping variant used in the game Crimson Desert. Pretty complex mathematical challenge. With a ultra fast LLM and a proper self verification process it would be awesome.
holoduke··on Google to pay SpaceX $920M a month for compute capacity at xAI data centers
Inflation is covering all the inflated valuations eventually.
holoduke··on SpaceX: Flying High on Impunity
Was it really ment to mimic the fuhrer you think? Who told you that? I think it's a typical propaganda framing technique used to frame someone into a position.
holoduke··on Fine-tuning an LLM to write docs like it's 1995
Who is reading docs these days? It there is one thing a LLM is good at is reading docs. I never read docs anymore and I am so happy about it.
holoduke··on SpaceX: Flying High on Impunity
How many sig heila did he perform if I may ask? I saw one in a video. Are there more?
holoduke··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
It's like the AI created a method add(a b) return a+a+a+a-b-b-b-b But then much bigger and complex features. Totally useless nothing methods. But still interesting to see occasional exceptions that are better.
holoduke··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
I have a claw that is instructed to make at least 500 pr per day. It uses Claude, Gemeni and openai and runs basically every few minutes. I use online forums for input for the claw. Moltbook, reddit etc. it's quite funny how it tries to improve itself. But to say it really creates a new skynet. Nah. Not at all. It's more a clutter of useless features or incomprehensible code restructuring.
holoduke··on UK media fails to disclose defence sector links in nearly 60% of cases
You are quite the hypocrite to call the UK not a imperialistic country. They are probably the greatest of them all. They have far more blood on their hands in foreign interventions than Russia and China combined. In fact they are still occupied with abuse and destruction throughout the world. You are naive and victim of propoganda for not seeing this.
holoduke··on MCP is dead?
Funny thing is that Claude knows the api of Atlassian better than the mcp they provide. Mcp is limited it doesn't have all api calls described.
holoduke··on The dead economy theory
It cannot. Only reason the US is rich is because of foreign countries buying and trading in Dollars. If that falls the US is toast
holoduke··on Volkswagen blocks Home Assistant by requiring client assertion
I recently saw a group of automakers together during an event. The contrast between Chinese and Germans was bizare. The group of german automakers were older men in black suits all wearing badge with titles like Senior Executive Sales blablabla. Whereas the Chinese were all young people wearing causual clothing and much more engineering minded. No wonder why european auto makers are doing so badly. They forgot to please people. The only know how to please their untergang.
holoduke··on Claude Opus 4.8
You need some serious memory then. Let's say around 192gb for having not all your memory eaten by your LLM.
holoduke··on Where does next-token prediction leave us?
Maybe chinese are generally more positive about everything. Many European countries and the US are in a decline for some years now.
holoduke··on What we lost when we stopped letting kids leave the front yard
My oldest son of 10 years already cycles alone through our village. Hangs out with friends in nearby parks or soccer fields. Here in the Netherlands infrastructure is build around cyclists and pedestrians. I can't imagine him sitting home all the time. As soon as he wakes up in the weekend he leaves the house. During the week he cycles to school which is about 2 miles by bike. No phone, no gps. It's how we live.
holoduke··on A successful Japanese trial of a ramjet engine designed for Mach‑5 aircraft
What would a ticket cost like? 50k? Aren't those people in their own fancy private jet with whiskey, massages and party?
holoduke··on Microsoft reports AI is more expensive than paying human employees
Somehow this 'ai companies will never be profitable' is believed by so many. It's often used by those who don't like AI. There is no doubt that ai is the most lucrative business currently out there. It will only get better. Faster hardware, better algorithms
holoduke··on AI has a multiplying effect on existing technical skills
Ai is a hammer. Use it right and it makes you very powerful. But it's not an easy tool.
holoduke··on Mistral AI acquires Emmi AI
You would be surprised that many regulations are lobbied by American companies to secure their dominance. From gambling to advertising. European regulations are not to help citizens. But to help big institutions.
holoduke··on Mistral AI acquires Emmi AI
The are in Europe and in France. The worst possible situation to be successful as a startup. I mean the extreme hiarchy, lack of salaries and taxation is not really gonna help.
holoduke··on I’ve joined Anthropic
It's about equity worth nothing jn Europe as an employee. Europe is a bad place for employees to join a startup. Lots of time people are attracted with shares/stars whatever. Only to find out they get nothing or are taxed to hell. There is a reason why Europe is failing.
holoduke··on Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels
Don't have still highest sales on model 3s?:
holoduke··on Mercurial, 20 years and counting: how are we still alive and kicking? [video]
Just a bit off topic. But is anyone still using git or whatever versioning in the traditional way? I hardly see myself using the git command these days. Everything I handled by Claude. From pulling to pushing to solve merge conflicts and more. In a way it doesn't matter anymore whether it's git or something else.
