If only I was in Helsinki. This would be an interesting time to work in this area.

Slack was/is also having issues
ksimukka··on Creepy Crawlies
Remember SETI?

Maybe we should serve the bots a problem worth solving and benefit both parties. They spend some energy/tokens on a problem and we pay them with content.

If only I had a bot problem, this would be interesting to explore.

ksimukka··on Qwen 3.8
What else would you expect from a "majority" of US educated geeks?

Btw, are you using GPUs/TUs at all for local inference? I've been exploring what hardware options exist outside of Nvidia.

ok, who in the EU is working on our own frontier model? surely we have the drive and ability?

oxide gives me hope for the future.
ksimukka··on Vinyl Cache and Varnish Cache
"Vinyl cache" is an interesting name. I wonder what other candidates the maintainers considered? I was secretly hoping they would name it "Veneer Cache" or something similar to "varnish".
ksimukka··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
reverse engineering the red one mx cinema camera.
ksimukka··on Claude Fable 5
Wow, credit to the safeguard team. I submitted my request about an hour ago to the cyber verification program and just now was approved.
ksimukka··on Claude Fable 5
The safeguards of fable are blocking me on almost every task. I would like to see if fable is improved over opus for reverse engineering related work. Back to opus for me.
ksimukka··on Danish pension fund excludes SpaceX citing governance and valuation
Right, that makes sense. I assume it happens often as part of the governance process. my original statement could have be better phrased as a question.

What are your thoughts on the general consensus of Nordics views and opinions about the US?

ksimukka··on Danish Pension Blacklists SpaceX over 'Catastrophic Governance'
(Apologies for the bad grammar, my son was born a little over 24 hours ago. I’m choosing not to use a LLM, so you are getting the real me)

Even sovereign funds (example Norway) are invested in American tech, funds, and indexes.

It is interesting to think about (from the perspective of an immigrant to Norway) how I moved my life’s savings from the US to Norway.

I’m now fully invested into Norway (real estate, savings, and retirement).

My understand is that Norwegians (and the nordics) have historically looked up to the US as a world leader.

I think that is no longer true and maybe this decision by Denmark is a data point of how the Nordics are changing?

It kind of feels like we all have been caught holding the bag (US reserve currency) and now we have to carefully unwind our position.

I’ve lost my point. Maybe my goal here is to just contribute to this discussion to distract from the exhaustion.

ksimukka··on An update on GitHub availability
Congrats on finding life outside of AWS. Sucks to hear about all the turmoil going on in the US and at Amazon. I had a great time durning my tenure and almost boomoranged back.
ksimukka··on An Update on GitHub Availability
When I was at AWS, retail was not yet running on AWS. Has that changed?

Prime video does use some AWS services, but live and on-demand are two entirely different beasts.

I’m an avid user of Fairlight for almost a decade now. The accelerator card has an interesting history (as does Fairlight).

ksimukka··on Tell HN: MitID, Denmark's digital ID, was down
More like a float with a precision of 18.

Most of us who work in payment systems care a lot about precision and reliability.

We need the Swedish banks to open up.
ksimukka··on Europe's $24T Breakup with Visa and Mastercard Has Begun
Vipps MobilePay is in Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden.

That is almost all Nordic countries, and all of Scandinavia.
