Orca clone?
kvakkefly··on Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1
I hope not! Then my t-shirt is no longer accurate :D
kvakkefly··on Raytracing Geometries in 3D Rendering
At Cognite, we render large CAD models and have been using this technique (billboarding) to render large volumes of geometries. Created this page for a visit by math elites who wanted to work on some cool problems!

If you are able to render many torus efficiently in the shader, let me know!

kvakkefly··on The last six months in LLMs in five minutes
I remember this very clearly myself. Before opus 4.5, I was doing a lot of hand holding and was coding a lot myself, but I have not written code since that day more or less.

I did write some stuff myself just to learn how the enigma encryption machine worked, so wrote myself to learn. But professionally, I stopped coding in November.

kvakkefly··on OpenYak – An open-source Cowork that runs any model and owns your filesystem
Nice! MacOS download link is a 404
kvakkefly··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Had to test creating a browser only LLM+python+pandasAI data scientist:

http://andeplane.github.io/ai-data-analytics

All vibe coded ofc!

kvakkefly··on How the cochlea computes (2024)
They are not connected afaik.
kvakkefly··on Launch HN: Cactus (YC S25) – AI inference on smartphones
Why do you believe open source means free to use and distribute commercially?
kvakkefly··on Show HN: Creao – Vibe coding product for founders
Getting errors in console, won't start.

hook.js:608 Failed to parse JSON from match: SyntaxError: Expected ',' or ']' after array element in JSON at position 207 (line 3 column 194) at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at build-studio-C28lcD4m.js:67:471

Stuck at "Starting project..."

Also, seems like 15-20 people to build this, after just a couple of months. Something is off with the numbers. Also, vibe coding platforms are becoming commodity with other platforms lightyears ahead, approaching zero margins.

Definitely wish you luck, but something feels off with the numbers, timeline, product and the market you chose :)

kvakkefly··on It's Waymo's World. We're All Just Riding in It. 10M Rides Surpassed
Im Norwegian and have used it several times in the US.
kvakkefly··on WebGL Fluid Simulation
You can derive naviger stokes from newtons laws, or I suppose some conversation laws.
kvakkefly··on M4 MacBook Pro
What do you mean by considered bad practice? By whom? I would think this is one of the reasons that my Macs since 2008 have just worked without any HW problems.

That was soooo good!
kvakkefly··on Lm.rs: Minimal CPU LLM inference in Rust with no dependency
Cleaner codebase because of fewer features!

Would love to see a wasm version of this!

Yes, would love this on my iPhone. Reach out on andershaf@gmail.com if you want help on shipping in the Apple app store, I have a few apps there myself.
kvakkefly··on Show HN: Void, an open-source Cursor/GitHub Copilot alternative
Not sure if this is what you'd like, but I remember this repo from some time ago https://github.com/Storia-AI/sage

Storia-AI/sage: Chat with any codebase with 2 commands

kvakkefly··on Rediscovering Turbo Pascal
You might enjoy the rabbit hole my friend dug into when he created TRSE: https://lemonspawn.com/

A language (Turbo Rascal Syntax Error), inspired by turbo pascal, that compiles to many of the old processors, including C64 etc.

kvakkefly··on Vision pro isn't gonna change anything
I am using it every day and I have measurable increased productivity and focus. I'm using Rescue time to measure productivity and I get easier into the focus zone with it.

Nah he didn’t really do that, did he? Hehe
kvakkefly··on Launch HN: Onedoc (YC W24) – A better way to create PDFs
Funny name! The reason I find it funny is I know some people who made Doconce: https://github.com/doconce/doconce :D
kvakkefly··on Show HN: I made an app to use local AI as daily driver
Dangerously close to the old famous Dropbox comment to the original ShowHN post
kvakkefly··on Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hacked
My Skype account was hacked many years ago. It started with me getting an email about some credits being added (from my credit card that was in the system).

When I logged onto Skype, I had a new name, and a new contact, both of which were Ivan something. I immediately started chatting with Ivan, who told me that there was a weakness in the Skype login security, which he tried to exploit.

I changed my password to another Medium to Strong password, and a few minutes later my name was again changed to “Anders xoxo Hafreager”, and a message that he had hacked me again.

I still don’t know what he did or how he did it.

kvakkefly··on Latent Dictionary: 3D map of Oxford3000+search words via DistilBert embeddings
By running the same multiple times, I get different visualization. I don't really understand what's going on, but I like the idea of visualizing embeddings.
kvakkefly··on Conway's Game of Life is omniperiodic
www.houseofmath.com might be fun
kvakkefly··on Converting my PhD thesis into HTML (2021)
A great alternative to latex is doconce. It can output html, latex and various other formats.

kvakkefly··on Stable Diffusion Textual Inversion
Nuclear was apparently confirmed on the list, but I have recently used it to generate cool things around nuclear power. So suppose it is like you say.
kvakkefly··on Ask HN: How to learn math from zero for adults?
Depending on your level, you can get through high school level using https://www.houseofmath.com

Topic for topic, read and do exercises.

kvakkefly··on Is nuclear power our best bet against climate change?
It seems like you assume that other sources of energy are without waste and accidents. Nuclear power has by far the lowest number of deaths / produced energy and the total volume of waste is not that much. During all time of nuclear, the total volume of waste is about the annual waste produced by solar cells.

See a nice summary (with sources you can check) at https://energy.glex.no/calculator
