jeffhuys··on Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
They came here in three years. I think there’s a chance they will release the absolute top model soon. And I think they believe that as well. They have the compute. They have the money. They have the engineers.
jeffhuys··on Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
Huh. I feel that way with the other models - all the same. Eh, what can you do. Have fun out there.
jeffhuys··on How to stop Claude from saying load-bearing
Whenever I’m typing on slack now, I try to dumb down my talking to make it clear it’s not generated. Sucks. Because normally I was always quite eloquent (if I do say so myself)…
jeffhuys··on Show HN: I RL-trained an agent that trains models with RL (for –$1.3k)
Reinforcement Learning.
jeffhuys··on What will be left for us to work on?
True, and that’s a good argument. It does shine a light on that we need to define what “work” means to all participants of discussion; is painting work? Is elder care work? Is making a nice sandwich for yourself work?
jeffhuys··on What will be left for us to work on?
So when you say stuff like“ We will never automate all work” generally you’d follow that up with an argument as to why you think that. It’s not fact, YOU think this to be the case. Back it up!
jeffhuys··on Show HN: Getting GLM 5.2 running on my slow computer
Perfect question to ask an AI.
jeffhuys··on Fable is not a useful model
It’s happy to work on our backend repository. It refuses to work on our infrastructure (Terraform) repo.
jeffhuys··on OpenPrinter
Does the ink ever dry? That’s my biggest problem with non-lasers - I print maybe 10-100 pages a year but every time I need to change the toner because it’s too dry. And do you print color or no?

It’s pure silicon. Llama3.
jeffhuys··on The dead economy theory
It is generally appreciated you include counter-arguments if you challenge the point.

jeffhuys··on How to talk to anyone and why you should
Also talk to you; that’s part of learning how to. It prepares you for rejection of all sorts.
jeffhuys··on A look back: LANPAR, the first spreadsheet
Yea, I just read that too.
jeffhuys··on Orion 1.0
Yeah, imo, it’s nowhere near ready for 1.0. I was a big advocate for this browser but recently changed because of exactly this. That, and it’s very slow after having it running constantly, I found myself routinely quitting and re-opening it every hour or two to get normal speed back, or my RAM for that matter.

So I’m back on Safari.

jeffhuys··on iPhone Pocket
Ew. For some reason it looks absolutely disgusting to me.
jeffhuys··on Grok 4 Fast now has 2M context window
It’s called suicidal empathy.
jeffhuys··on Grok 4 Fast now has 2M context window
You know, feel free to keep thinking this. In my experience Grok is the best. I don’t let myself into weird groupthink that happens just because trolls took advantage of Grok’s absence of lobotomy. Kind of a superpower.
jeffhuys··on AI's Dial-Up Era
Might not be waiting for long.
jeffhuys··on Glasses-free 3D using webcam head tracking
The screen is the window.
jeffhuys··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
? Just build it yourself?
jeffhuys··on Willow quantum chip demonstrates verifiable quantum advantage on hardware
This is your second comment in this thread (as far as I’ve scrolled) saying this without an explanation. Could you elaborate on why?
jeffhuys··on Apple alerts exploit developer that his iPhone was targeted with gov spyware
Nullable column I guess?

I’m kidding of course

jeffhuys··on AWS multiple services outage in us-east-1
> they might slam your backend

Heh

jeffhuys··on Heroin addicts often seem normal
Go to the QuittingKratom subreddit and see for yourself how a legal opioid-like substance destroys lives.
jeffhuys··on SSH3: Faster and rich secure shell using HTTP/3
Honestly, it feels like the one being dramatic here is you. Because the one you’re replying to added “huge”, you added a whole sentence calling everyone “so damn dramatic”. But oh well.
jeffhuys··on I ditched Docker for Podman
In what way does you mean this? I’ve built two jobs for the preview envs: DeployEnvironment (runs the terraform stuff that starts the ec2/makes s3 buckets/creates api gateway/a lot of other crap) and then ProvisionEnvironment (zips the local copy of the branch and rsyncs it to the environment, and some other stuff). I build the .env file in ProvisionEnvironment, which accounts for the parameters. I’d love to get your point of view here!
jeffhuys··on I ditched Docker for Podman
True; I conflate the two often. The EC2s run on an IAM image, same as production does, which before was a docker image.
jeffhuys··on I ditched Docker for Podman
For a while we used it for scalable preview environments: specify the branch, hit deploy, and have a QA-able environment, with full database (anonymized) ready to go in 15 minutes (DB was time bottleneck).

We ditched it for EC2s which were faster and more reliable while being cheaper, but that's beside the point.

Locally I use OrbStack by the way, much less intrusive than Docker Desktop.

jeffhuys··on macOS dotfiles should not go in –/Library/Application Support
Is it? Remember servers exist.

Personally (and most people I know) see windows as user stuff. Not developer stuff. So CLI tools etc are linux/mac-first. Lots of projects I find nowadays don't even have a windows build...
