justinparus··on After Math
Previous to you tax dollars and philanthropy have funded math in various forms and you reap the benefits.
justinparus··on After Math
I agree at the high level. STEM bringing general benefit and greater understanding of the world is the main reason. This is true whether or not humans or an AGI is driving the progress.

"It is not the destination, but the journey that matters"

For now, AI will be another tool in the toolbox of mathematicians. With humans driving the conversation to help understand the world better. If/when AGI is reached maybe we won’t be in the driver seat as much. I don’t think that matters. The goal of math is to achieve greater understanding of the world, regardless if humans are driving or if an AI is.

justinparus··on Uber’s COO says it’s getting harder to justify money spent on tokenmaxxing
Is keeping your company private the easiest way to get around this?
justinparus··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
Been using GLM-4.7 for a couple weeks now. Anecdotally, it’s comparable to sonnet, but requires a little bit more instruction and clarity to get things right. For bigger complex changes I still use anthropic’s family, but for very concise and well defined smaller tasks the price of GLM-4.7 is hard to beat.
justinparus··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
Using a BigCorp service also has risks. You are exposed to many of their vulnerabilities, that’s why our information ends up in data leaks.
justinparus··on Bikeshedding, or why I want to build a laptop
Have you bought one?
justinparus··on Using FreeBSD to make self-hosting fun again
Also curious about the time sinks! Fingers crossed no issues with my services so far. The initial setup was tedious: configuring multiple services with their own configuration intricacies, and having proper backups. I am looking for something that would help reduce the setup toil, maybe something like nix?
justinparus··on Why Nextcloud feels slow to use
thanks for sharing. been looking for something like this for awhile
justinparus··on Corrosion
The solutions across different BigCorp Clouds varies depending on the SLA from their underlying network. Doing this on top the public internet is very different than on redundant subsea fiber with dedicated BigCorp bandwidth!
justinparus··on Teardown of Apple 40W dynamic power adapter with 60W max
Does it follow the protocol properly? I’ve had some chargers that don’t default to the lowest output for dumb usb-c devices
justinparus··on Building the mouse Logitech won't make
Had a G602 for many years, and then migrated to M720 triathlon. I like the G series ergonomics, but the G604 kept breaking on me. M720 has treated me well so far and support for standard battery cells is very nice.
justinparus··on Building the mouse Logitech won't make
Support for standard battery cells is seriously underrated! Especially when you are on-the-go and your mouse dies, all you need to do is swap in a fresh rechargeable AA/AAA. No need to deal with a cable or waiting for a recharge.
justinparus··on Synthetic diamonds are now purer, more beautiful, and cheaper than mined
Agreed. So much so I wonder if they engrave all lab-grown ones, so they don’t get mixed up easily with mined and ruin their price.
