madduci··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
Like everybody got 128 GB RAM..
madduci··on Studio Canal Movies purchased on PlayStation Store removed without refund
If I buy a DVD, it costs a fixed price.

Why should it be variable, if we talk about digital media? Storage and content streaming is cheaper than embracing a whole logistic (producing DVDs/BlueRays, packaging, shipping).

But here we are again: if you buy something digital, you just pay for a "usage license", you don't own anything at all. After all these years or decades, I am still surprised that people expect to own digital content, forever

madduci··on John Carmack on the mistakes around Quake that ruined id software
Frankly, Unreal Tournament got a lot of that energy and peaked gameplay. Very new fresh ideas like capture the flag back then was really cool. And the speed and stability was also great.
madduci··on Mistral OCR 4
And US users spend much more than their EU counterpart
madduci··on VibeThinker: 3B param model that beats Opus 4.5 on reasoning with novel SFT+GRPO
True story, they can already drive a tractor at 10 and I know people who learned to drive a proper truck at 13 too
madduci··on AURpocalypse now: a look at the recent AUR attacks
I don't know how long will it take to attack also flatpak/flathub and snap stores as well.
madduci··on GPT-5.5 hallucinates 3x more than MIT-licensed GLM-5.2
Isn't that the case of over fitting? You have more data, but when you ask something that's not in that data, hallucinations happen
madduci··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
I wish they supported much more phones
madduci··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
Interesting. what kind if applications are challenging you?
madduci··on Windows 11 users are tired of MS account requirements creeping into everything
Windows has reached the point where it deserves only to run in a virtual machine for some needs.

Otherwise leave it behind and move on to Linux, BSD or whatever doesn't require a cloud account to work

madduci··on A low-carbon computing platform from your retired phones
I love the take about it. But nowhere is mentioned how have they installed Linux on those boards and which kind of distribution. I would also run Linux on retired phones, just I can't because some of them have a locked bootloader and the unlocking method doesn't work anymore, because the producer has retired the tool
madduci··on Kimi K2.7-Code: open-source coding model with better token efficiency
Looks interesting but yet no Ollama model?
madduci··on Pirates, a naval warfare game inspired by Sid Meier's Pirates
This is really cool
madduci··on BYD to install 5-minute EV chargers across Europe
Indeed. Unfortunately you can only unleash that power on tracks
madduci··on BYD to install 5-minute EV chargers across Europe
5 minutes, for the only model available in EU that costs €120k+
madduci··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
In Italy and Germany it is massively used. You can only find events there and nowhere else.

Since I don't own a FB account, I don't have access to the events information as well.

madduci··on Ask HN: Why hasn't there been a real competitor to Ticketmaster yet?
It is the same question of: "why hasn't there been a real competitor to Facebook Events and why many people post events information only there?"
madduci··on The EU Open Source Strategy
See the EUDI Wallet running on (surprise surprise) only Android and iOS for mobile..
madduci··on Aging and Eye Problems
As owner of 4K monitors, I can confirm. When in go to the office, where only HD monitors are there, I am basically degrading my work productivity, since I can barely read, since big windows are overall too.
madduci··on Gemma 4 QAT models: Optimizing compression for mobile and laptop efficiency
Where is it? On ollama I see only the bigger one
madduci··on Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow?
What about quality? How do you assure that everything works without misshapen?
madduci··on Ask HN: What is your (AI) dev tech stack / workflow? (June 2026)
Naive question: how much time do you spend doing so vs. Doing the actual work yourself?
madduci··on Anthropic's open-source framework for AI-powered vulnerability discovery
"This repo is not maintained and is not accepting contributions."

Nice

madduci··on Gemma 4 12B: A unified, encoder-free multimodal model
I've tested the e4B with the iGPU and it works incredibly good locally. I'll try this model as soon as it is available on ollama
madduci··on Gemma 4 12B: A unified, encoder-free multimodal model
Interesting, thanks for the feedback!
madduci··on Gemma 4 12B: A unified, encoder-free multimodal model
VRAM, not RAM. I wish it was light enough for iGPUs too
madduci··on Microsoft builds MacBook Pro rival with NVIDIA-powered Surface Laptop Ultra
My thought as well. As a Linux or BSD machine, this is a portable beast
madduci··on The Problem with the Ferrari Luce EV Offers a Lesson for Every Leader
Don't worry, they are all pissed off
madduci··on Ferrari Luce
I guess it will be an iconic car in 10-20 tears, like the F40 is still appraised today.

Maybe it feels an extreme change, but the solution like making batteries core part of the body might pay well. I am looking also for the first track tests, to see if their claims are real

madduci··on Jira Is Turing-Complete
Our main problem is only that they are hijacking the prices incredibly.. Lately we had to cut the number of licences and users, since it was incredibly expensive.
