jofzar··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I mean yes? It's the American government, and that's how us export controls work?
jofzar··on Claude Fable 5
AI is very good at "deflecting" support tickets ATM but rubbish at actual support tickets (source I work in the industry)
jofzar··on The Origin of Lorem Ipsum
Honestly great video and surprisingly not even that old
jofzar··on Field of clones: How horse replicas came to dominate polo
Surprised that the legal drama part of this wasn't discussed, it's how I first heard about this

jofzar··on Major P2P issues in Israel and possibly other Middle East countries
I know I'm just preaching to the choir here but my favourite thing about open source/published source libraries/applications is discussions on bug reports/pr's like this.

It's just something so heartwarming of multiple people coming together to describe their symptoms, workarounds and theories of what could be causing it.

It works if you can prove it, but you know, Microsoft didnt
jofzar··on Expanding Project Glasswing
> The organizations in this new group are based in more than 15 countries

I mean most nasdaq tech companies would be in 13+ countries, why are they writing this like it's a big number, is hilariously small?

jofzar··on OpenAI frontier models and Codex are now available on AWS
What other people are saying, but also because Amazon does not want to fuck around in this space. They don't want the legal fight or the reputational damage that would come with it.

jofzar··on The user is visibly frustrated
My experience is that the dumb mistakes it makes are the one where it believes it's correct, not that it fails the linter.
jofzar··on The user is visibly frustrated
Interestingly to me, the problem I always find is that you will make a suggestion, the AI will go through a thinking loop, come to the exact wrong conclusion then blast out tokens make the solution to their own conclusions.

I honestly wish there was more "I'm not sure what you meant can you clarify this part" more often. It feels like I want a "confidence in itself slider"

jofzar··on The Eternal Sloptember
> I'd love to see examples of issues that are so big that they warrant reverting to manual coding

Ah I see your org hasnt yet had an outage caused by a bad LLM code push.

I understand why, but I didn't even think of light themed terminals till now.. .
jofzar··on Bun support is now limited and deprecated
It's an competitor to bun at the moment, that's what happens when you rewrite a whole program.

Name being the same or not, it's what it is in reality (for better or worse)

No they are saying that the audio playing for tts would be at like 2.4x what's in the commercial.

jofzar··on Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
lmao you and me came in and said the same thing, its like slopshop doesn't need to exist because photopea exists.
jofzar··on Where Are the Vibecoded Photoshops?
Im suprised no one has said its because photopea exists?

Like of all the products OP could have chosen, photoshop shouldn't have been the one that is chosen because it actually has a good clean competitor to it in the "free" category that theoretically slopshop would replace.

jofzar··on Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels
It's so common for me I literally don't think I see them anymore (because it's just part of the roof)

I know they are on every second house, but gun to my head I could not tell you how many have it on my street.

jofzar··on Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format
These have very strong anti cheats and in person is very stringent on no electronics.

Its not really a good comparison

jofzar··on Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format
Imo frontier is too niche and specific, if you know what a frontier model means then it's fine, but if you don't then it's negative/detrimental to the title.

"new" does the same thing and is probably just a better descriptor then frontier

jofzar··on A few words on DS4
> I'm very curious where we will saturate the curve on "enough" intelligence for coding. At some point, you can let a less smart model hammer at a problem for longer and get to the same result, and as long as you are not involved it comes to the same thing. I feel like DeepSeek V4 Pro is nearly there. Maybe Flash is too.

It's always going to be cost;

developer time vs developer cost vs AI cost vs developer productivity.

With 4.6 it's looking like we are at the upper limit of appetite for cost (for "regular" Business) so the other levers will probably need to change.

jofzar··on A few words on DS4
I am actually kind of disappointed it wasn't a deep dive on the dual shock 4
jofzar··on Linux gaming is faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features
100 fps to 95-70fps is definitely noticeable, 30% is way too much.

jofzar··on Over 8M Thermos jars and bottles recalled after 3 people lost vision
Nah I think most people would open it at waist level standing with the lid facing up (towards you face as you are looking down), and twisting to open.

I can totally see how that would fly straight up at your face.

jofzar··on Over 8M Thermos jars and bottles recalled after 3 people lost vision

jofzar··on Over 8M Thermos jars and bottles recalled after 3 people lost vision
I really hope we get a video out of this to see how bad it actually is and how much "pressure" is needed for this.

> Incidents/Injuries: Thermos has received 27 reports of consumers who were struck by a stopper that forcefully ejected from these containers upon opening, including complaints of impact and laceration injuries requiring medical attention. Three consumers suffered permanent vision loss after being struck in the eye.

That's an awefully large amount of reports about this. I wonder what about the design makes it a rocket compared to what I would assume is a pretty standard design?

jofzar··on GameStop makes $55.5B takeover offer for eBay
I was seeing the news about this calling it GameStop eBay takeover and I assumed it was eBay buying GameStop and I was like, huh that doesn't really make sense for eBay to buy GameStop but maybe they want the physical locations?

How the hell can GameStop buy eBay, this is insane.
