jetbalsa··on AI coding has made CI a bottleneck, so we reworked ours to keep up
I did the same thing with a old multiplayer game called Wulfram, we got it online and a mostly working server (most of the game logic was server side with no surviving code or binary) with the help of AI, Mostly opus and astra. https://wulfram3.com is our efforts in this.

jetbalsa··on I've factored the RSA keys of a Certificate Authority from the 90s
Its a shame that Microsoft ate Netscape's lunch so early on. I still use Firefox and have fond memories of Netscape (v7) when growing up.
jetbalsa··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
They do, https://jlcpcb.com/parts

jetbalsa··on Show HN: Spacescience.tech – A Bubble Shooter mixed with 2048
It's random, but the chosen orbs to queue up are chosen from edges of the piles that you have, also if you hold shift, that is a wildcard orb and will match anything. If you do it with a 0x80 it will purge a good bit of the board
jetbalsa··on DEF CON crowd suspected in fake-hotspot attack on Delta flight
This year we had a really bad RF jammer on 140mhz fucking with the Ham Radio Village/Contest. The story I heard was someone yelled into hardware hacking area that the FCC was coming and the jamming stopped

Place 2 wasn't too bad, it did get botted to all hell. I handled some the early recordings of the canvas to make live time lapses of it. I've done the same here just to have something to mess about with.

My latest and greatest ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 likes to do it sometimes on cachyos, I can't nail it down from a KDE or hardware issue as it never does it while docked or a external mouse
jetbalsa··on AI Built a Nuke and Still Lost
I also noticed they where not using XML for game state output, from what I understand most LLMs still benefit from having outputs like this put into XML tags
jetbalsa··on Sixty percent of US consumers say 'AI' in brand messaging is a turnoff
with the keyboard typing and call center chatter... give me a break

I found it hard stops on /anything/ Ghidra related at all, its annoying...
jetbalsa··on AI agent bankrupted their operator while trying to scan DN42
I suspect their tar pits where not very good, most models can tell when you are feeding it junk, I see this a good bit with ollama honeypots,
jetbalsa··on Now Is the Best Time to Be a Duct Tape Engineer
I have not very well treated AuADHD and being alone with my thoughts very long is generally not very productive, At least Coding LLMs have helped me get things I wouldn't of had the attention span to make in the past come to life. and a good bit of vibe coding is just yelling at the LLM that what its doing sounds good on paper so keep going, please do the needful, make no mistakes :V
jetbalsa··on Uber's $1,500/month AI limit is a useful signal for AI tool pricing
Depends, the SMD caps spread across the board the tiny ones do start to fail and go out of spec over time. they are a right pain to replace and hard to spot one that has gone out of spec to cause the chip to start crashing.

Ah, The 4chan of Minecraft servers, a silly place.
jetbalsa··on RISC-V Router
VPN and DNS Packages in OpenWRT eat a good bit of ram. and sometimes can be cheaper for faster speeds needed to higher packet processing.

I think they are looking for full 2d graphics, bitmaps, sprites and the likes.
jetbalsa··on How we run iSCSI over the internet
always wanted to see if this was doable using NBD or even RBD over the internet. but I do love the ESP32 device they came up with.
jetbalsa··on Show HN: GhostBox – Borrow a disposable little machine from the Global Free Tier
I know a guy who gets a bunch of old hardware as a recycler, We made the Shell On Demand Appliance for DEFCON[1] awhile back and would love to expand it, but power/internet would just cost too much. we have the hardware and software to do this. just not the long term recurring

jetbalsa··on I cancelled Claude: Token issues, declining quality, and poor support
I've been mostly using Kimi has a hacker of sorts, putting it places I want to attach AI directly as their API for their plans are not completely user hostile. Need to do OCR for scanning Magic the Gathering Cards. Sure!, have it attached to X4: Foundations as a AI manager for some stuff. sounds fun. Can't really do that with claude
jetbalsa··on Hear your agent suffer through your code
That or having it start shit posting about your crappy code base on https://moltshit.com
jetbalsa··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
Yep, Its pretty damn good compared to classic OCR and even more lightweight ones as well that I can run locally. the cards just vary too much over time.
jetbalsa··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
I'm unsure of the sizes needed for prompt cache, but I suspect its several gigs in size (A percentage of the model weight size), how would the user upload this every time they started a resumed a old idle session, also are they going to save /every/ session you do this with?
jetbalsa··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
The cache is stored on Antropics servers, since its a save state of the LLM's weights at the time of processing. its several gigs in size. Every SINGLE TIME you send a message and its a cache miss you have to reprocess the entire message again eating up tons of tokens in the process
jetbalsa··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
So to defend a litte, its a Cache, it has to go somewhere, its a save state of the model's inner workings at the time of the last message. so if it expires, it has to process the whole thing again. most people don't understand that every message the ENTIRE history of the conversion is processed again and again without that cache. That conversion might of hit several gigs worth of model weights and are you expecting them to keep that around for /all/ of your conversions you have had with it in separate sessions?
jetbalsa··on An update on recent Claude Code quality reports
The cache is on Antropics server, its like a freeze frame of the LLM inner workings at the time. the LLM can pick up directly from this save state. as you can guess this save state has bits of the underlying model, their secret sauce. so it cannot be saved locally...
