leothetechguy··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
Good. See: "In a Way that's not trying to kill us all"
leothetechguy··on Claude Opus 5.5
The Design Language on this announcement page is a perversion of human nature.
leothetechguy··on Claude Opus 5.5
I have never been a part of the group that believes in frontier labs downgrading models. But this theory seems plausible to me for the first time.
leothetechguy··on MiMo v2.6
This figure doesn't include pretraining cost. Which is probably higher.
leothetechguy··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
That would be far too high in my opinion. But happy if anybody can give insights from their own experience with pretraining runs.
leothetechguy··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
this is the rl run, not the pretraining run
leothetechguy··on Show HN: Fly By – retro biplane flying game
I'd rather not see AI being used to generate new games for any platform. I'm not gonna read something nobody bothered to write, and I'm not gonna play something nobody bothered to write. AI has no taste and it's not a matter of post training because the Taste is the human component and actual effort put into something.
leothetechguy··on Sudden Unexpected Death in the Pfizer BNT162b2 Trial
I'm less interested in the factors that obscured it's detection and more in a logical root cause. Very grateful for the medical advancements that slowed the spread of the pandemic though. As the Technology becomes more advanced so will hopefully the Risk Assesments and eventually explain Risks and Limitations of mRNA Technology.
leothetechguy··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Wow. This never crossed my mind but of course that's so simple. There really needs to be a better solution.
leothetechguy··on Who owns the code?
Personally I don't even want to own my code. If it is useful to others I want them to have the same rights I have to it.

Or should I say, In the case of AI, "my" code :)

leothetechguy··on LFM2.5 2.6B model competitive with 4x larger models
If a score is better when it's low, isn't that measuring a deficit? I think it's intuitive.
leothetechguy··on Petri Nets as a Music Sequencer
Music in the Field of Music should always come first. Sorry for the bluntness but I listen to the demo for 10 seconds and it sounds... shit. Really shit. Then I look at who made it and it looks like someone shoving a data structure into a field they know little about for the sake of the data structure itself?
leothetechguy··on Show HN: Kakehashi – Experimental userspace to run macOS binaries on Linux ARM
I just want to use macOS plugins for music production on asahi linux. A GUI is important but not strictly necessary I guess. So yeah, limited gui support would be great.
leothetechguy··on Rooting, firmware analysis and persistent credentials of TP-Link TL-841N
Not a bad idea ;)

Fine. Wishing I burned in a Fire isn't technically a Death Threat. Congratulations.

I have no incentive to be nice either, but I am because I want to. And If you are nice while constructively formulating your anger you don't get banned. easy.

sounds like you are just being an asshole because you hate the general consensus on this site, and can't be bothered to be polite in favor of creating new accounts all the time. That makes you the asshole from my perspective.

Have a great Day.

I didn't, I just went to his profile and checked the comments since I had a feeling he wasn't being rational. And I saw a lot of very angry comments made before this one.
leothetechguy··on Show HN: Kakehashi – Experimental userspace to run macOS binaries on Linux ARM
I'm not the guy that's banning you.

I come here with the expectation that this isn't 4chan and I leave my opinions exactly as they are while still being polite. This isn't inevitable. Else nobody would use this site. You can be upset about many things like AI and people will share that sentiment or not. You can read the Guidelines, it's not hard to see they aren't unreasonable. And it's easy to see if you violate them.

Thanks for the Death Threat.

leothetechguy··on Show HN: Kakehashi – Experimental userspace to run macOS binaries on Linux ARM
rust is a tool like any other, grow up.

I personally find it easier to work with than c++ in many cases.

EDIT: On second look... you okay dude? That's an awful lot of anger and swearing for an account created 11 minutes ago. Please calm down for your own sake or do something different at least

leothetechguy··on Show HN: Kakehashi – Experimental userspace to run macOS binaries on Linux ARM
this is something I've been waiting for a long time. I will be watching this with great interest.

If this ever gets far enough I would love to see something similar to yabridge implemented on top of this and be able to run AU binaries on linux.

leothetechguy··on Demoscene inspired interactive promo (WebGL)
you are the person who posted this promoting your own site.

Any flashy Website using the Word University immediately catches red flags for me.

Also calling this inspired by the demoscene is an insult to all true demoscene coders.

leothetechguy··on I'm 38 and I Can't Support Myself Anymore
I've felt worthless for a long time. Sucked at school, suck at university, jobless. But something about the things I do has given me comfort. Trying to make music, trying to draw. And just doing the things another version of me would look at and think "that's nice"

I've also been a social outcast for a while now. But putting my creative works out there makes me feel like I'm building the tools to appreciate myself and be appreciated by others. And knowing I can be appreciated, even if I'm not, is enough to give me a sense of self worth.

leothetechguy··on What if useful AI is a fantasy?
Definitely a fantasy, just one that people try to realize at the moment.
leothetechguy··on I could do that in a weekend (2016)
As somebody without an account the site doesn't work great in my experience though.
leothetechguy··on 24-bit/192kHz music downloads and why they make no sense (2012)
I agree with most of your points, but saying you shouldn't work in audio if you can't tell the difference between 192khz and 44.1khz is a bit elitist imo. And saying you're color blind if you can't tell the difference is like saying you're blind if you don't have 20/20 vision and shouldn't draw. You can always use meters to check for aliasing artifacts.

It's not like all of your samples and virtual instruments are 192khz or even 96k. Many are 48khz or even 44.1k.

I think there are many cases where people never need to go above 44.1khz unless you maybe have saturation on the master bus. I agree that good dithering is important though and think that there hasn't been enough research on that so far.

leothetechguy··on Ask HN: Anthropic banned me from using Claude Code and I don't know what to do
I try not to depend on these AI tools, not having them is inconvenient but I still write every line of code myself, so the speed I work at remains always the same.

I also never keep plans running for months on end. I pause them most of the time relying on free usage and resume them during busy hours when I run out of free usage. writing the code myself is also more fun tbh.

>I couldn't even move to real coding in 1 hour

That sounds... concerning? I would try to manage the context of the work you're doing yourself and only consult it for certain functions.

I don't think you need the very best from Anthropic if you follow these rules, you might also save quite a bit of money.

Sorry If this sounds like a lecture I just wanna give tips to continue your work. Best of Luck in getting your account back!

leothetechguy··on Midjourney Medical
From what I gather the hatred for AI among musicians and artists is pretty universal. I can only speak for myself. but for me and the way that I draw and make music AI can only replace, never complement my creative process.
leothetechguy··on Midjourney Medical
to be fair I wouldn't call people operating AI Image generators creative people. At best they're people curious about the technology itself, anybody willing to learn and do it for the sake of being creative does it themselves.
leothetechguy··on Keygen.music
the demoscene is about putting in lots of technical effort into programs even if it would be completely unreasonable in any real software project.

This vibe coded mess is putting in so little technical effort even though it is completely unreasonable for any piece of software associated with the demoscene.

leothetechguy··on They’re made out of weights
>Weights helped me draft and proof this story.

I'm suprised no one talks about this. AI Art isn't Art. AI Poetry isn't Art. And I'm tired of it. I know hacker news isn't the best place to complain about that but still... I'm not gonna read something somebody didn't put in the effort to write on their own. Especially not Poetry.
