krzyk··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
The same for Game on Whales.
krzyk··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
I wonder how it compares to Games on Whales.

GoW had that advantage over Sunshine, that it allowed selecting any resolution, it didn't require hdmi connector that simulated a monitor.

krzyk··on Steam Machine: Between 12k and 15k Units Sold per week
Great value if you buy games in steam sales, which are so common and deep that it leaves any console way back.
krzyk··on Codex Micro
tokens are getting expensive these days
krzyk··on New era for Gibraltar with removal of border controls with Spain
Well, those are even funnier than Giblartar.
krzyk··on Late Bronze Age Collapse
A very interesting read.

I'm a bit puzzled by one thing. Author writes that the Greek alphabet is based on Linear B script, and also that it is based on Phoenician alphabet. So was it a mix of both?

krzyk··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
How did he keep laptop?
krzyk··on StreetComplete: Fixing OpenStreetMap, one tiny quest at a time
If google does that, then they do a poor job at that. In Europe OSM is way more detailed and up to date than Google Maps.
krzyk··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
Yes, it is recentish, but not that recent. Remember Spore game? It allowed 3 installations, later they changed that.

I was never in the "resell software" mindset, similarly to books, I don't sell those, unless I get a present that is mistargetted. No one gifts me software sadly.

krzyk··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
Well, yes. Always online is a problem, but it doesn't change what one buys. A thing that is easy to copy without destroying the original. So they invented licenses to contain the copying part.
krzyk··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
Video games ar software, this has only digital form.

And AFAIR all software is sold as a license since way back.

krzyk··on It's not about physical vs. digital games, it's about ownership
That is literally in any software since like 90s. You buy license.
krzyk··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
I hope you see how this is less secure than a docker container?
krzyk··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
Agent that can apt-get is more useful.
krzyk··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
Or provide them.
krzyk··on Dostoyevsky isn't difficult
Here there is at least same prefix.

Only issue I recall might be with female Aleksandra (abbreviated to Ola) and male Aleksander (abbreviated to Olo, or Olek).

Others usually (if I remember correctly) have similar prefix.

krzyk··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
Is it really?

Harness is important for model performance, but weights are surely mode important, without that you would have haiku doing the work.

krzyk··on F3
I was afraid that it is for Marty McFlys only.
krzyk··on Digital euro clears key hurdle as EU seeks to break free from U.S. credit cards
I don't think people keep all their money on a single account. I have 20 in my bank (different savings, some foreign currency accounts, etc.), and only one is tied to my debit card. I move money there when I need it. Opening another account number is just few clicks away. There is a limit for it also.

Single account sounds more like a boomer thing.

krzyk··on F3
File format for what? Text, graphics, compiled code?
krzyk··on Steam Machine launches today
No?

The only PC peripheral I have with USB-A is a mouse dongle when I'm lazy and don't connect bluetooth - and that one I connect to the monitor.

All others are usb-c.

krzyk··on Local Qwen isn't a worse Opus, it's a different tool
3090 and 2x3090 are quite popular. But if you uses gigantic (for local models) context of 200k it will go south pretty quickly - any quantization of context quickly becomes the issue.
krzyk··on Local Qwen isn't a worse Opus, it's a different tool
AFAIR the general consensus is (was?): - llama.cpp for single user - vLLM for multi-user (e.g. enterprises)

They are similar, but for different use cases.

We need first to reach level of Sonnet 4.x, we aren't at that level yet.
krzyk··on TIL: You can make HTTP requests without curl using Bash /dev/TCP
It was quite fun.

But at my first work (begining of 2000s) there was one person that made a fun email, using From of head of company (or was it head of that particular division) to his coworker with congratulations for pay increase and promotion. It would be all great, but that coworker didn't catch the joke and replied to it (person in the From wasn't amused). Author of the joke was fired (which is not easy thing to do in Europe), some people don't catch jokes.

krzyk··on Why stdx is not on crates.io
I'm a bit new to rust or npm system.

But I always thought NPM was what the author describes - just a random set of packages with git sources, which I thought was the main issue (leftpad etc.). Isn't that the case?

What about one system that just works and is there for "ages": maven repository?

krzyk··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
Focusing outrage on politics is pointless.

Technical people are rather good at learning new things, and ollama situation is a good learning experience.

llama.cpp gets you more tokens/s even if you ignore ollama team bad behavior.

krzyk··on The Birth and Death of JavaScript (2014)
> People say Electron is heavy and not great, but it's also the fastest way to support Mac, Windows, and Linux all at once.

But why make an app when websites is enough? And I don't need to run n web browsers for that.

Solar panel breakage doesn't depend on a graphics card.
krzyk··on How to setup a local coding agent on macOS
ollama is a wrapper on top of llama.cpp, and it makes llama.cpp slower, why use it?

Also Ollama has other issues (like forgetting what it really is - a wrapper).
