michaellee8··on Kimi Released Kimi K2.5, Open-Source Visual SOTA-Agentic Model
If they figured out it can be this useful in 2016 running 1 t/s, they would make it run at least 20 t/s by 2019
michaellee8··on Show HN: A MCP for controlling terminal UI apps built with bubbletea and ratatui
In that case we should have some sort of UI test backends I guess? This mcp was more for generic use cases which will allow any TUI framework in any language to work.
michaellee8··on Engineers who dismiss AI
i think cs students should force themselves to learn the real thing and write the code themselves, at least for their assignments. i have seen that a lot of recent cs grads that has gpt in most of their cs life basically cannot write proper code, with or without ai.
michaellee8··on Kimi K2 Thinking, a SOTA open-source trillion-parameter reasoning model
the china government has been heavily subsidizing the electricity
michaellee8··on [dead]
fuck google for taking an ai-generated medium article as a reference and tell me that exceljs support charts (which it does not)
michaellee8··on Google Invests Almost $400M in ChatGPT Rival Anthropic
They do have lamda and it is available for test in their AI test kitchen. Seems much better handling of sensetive and offensive content then ChatGPT for me, but still cannot perform basic addition like ChatGPT does. I think it is technically better than ChatGPT but maybe they are only going to release the perfect product.

Tbf ChatGPT was far from production quality for serious applications, lots of misinformation and you can make it produce very offensive content. It is a good for toying around but you cannot take the output seriously.

michaellee8··on The tyranny of the rocket equation (2012)
Actually I am thinking of the EMDrive thing now. Would that be possible?
michaellee8··on The PlanetScale serverless driver for JavaScript
Is the HTTP API technically a wrapper of the vtgate's grpc interface?
michaellee8··on Kubernetes reinvented virtual machines in a good sense
That famous tech called cgroup was actually a Google contribution. But I agree that k8s is essentially Google's step to make themselves relavant in Cloud. They have missed the initial opportunity by promoting their PaaS AppEngine instead of something IaaS like ec2 in the beginning of the cloud competition, so Google just play the open-source game and keep releasing stuffs that can be used in all three clouds to lure people to use GCP. But then k8s is a very nice piece of tech that allows one to manage large clusters without vendor lock-in.
michaellee8··on WebAuthn Browser Support
Web3Auth uses a WebAuthn + Social login approach to store the credentials. https://web3auth.io/

Disclaimer: I work there.

michaellee8··on 10 years since Google said to “hang tight” about Linux support for Google Drive
Actually Google did made a version of Google Drive Filestream for Linux, and made it available it Google Colab, just that they never released it publicly for unknown reason. I have grabbed the binary of it. https://github.com/michaellee8/gdrivefs/tree/master/assets
michaellee8··on ‎Amplosion: Redirect AMP Links on the App Store
For example duckduckgo produce nothing useful when you search Chinese keywords. DDG maybe good at doing English searches but Google obviously have much more resources.
michaellee8··on Web3 is a stupid idea
Lol the company I am working for is doing some kind of wallet that basically allow you to keep and use your private key without a (shitty) browser extension like metamask. You basically just get your key back by authenticating with your google account and pressing your finger at touchid. Basically allow people to have same web 2.0 experience when using web3 apps.
michaellee8··on The Insecurity Industry
I bet aoftware that is so secure to be compared to products of other engineering fields does exist (e.g. avionic systems), but you will have to pay a much higher cost to use it, luke hundreds of thousands dollars since the cost of acheieved the guaranteed security level would also be much higher. Given the low cost of modern consumer software, you really have to understand that you get what you paid for. And if you want security guarantees you don't just need that particular piece of software being secure, you need qualified people to operate it, the hardware running it being secure (probably propietry and cost hundreds of thousands), and the whole software stack being secure as well, from firmware to OS to networking code. This is simply not somehow that your general consumer can afford, and if you enforce that level of security in consumer software like smartphones, it is safe to bet that almost everyone that has a smartphone would be protesting since they would have no Software aviliable on there phone anymore.

Like one comment above said, there do exist ways to enforce that level of software security, (like railway traffic lights) but the cost would be ridiculously high, and those systems are probably not running any consumer kind of software stack, probably without an OS since Linux would has it own vulnerability as well. Those systems are probably made for custom hardware that the software vendor has total control of it as well.

michaellee8··on Are we GUI Yet? The state of building user interfaces in Rust
The third option is basically Flutter. Maybe Rust guys would like to do some Flutter bridge?
michaellee8··on Phorge: A community-maintained fork of Phabricator
I am actually correctly looking for modifying Phabricator into some non-software project management platform. I guess I may upstream some bug fixes if it comes to my light.
michaellee8··on CompilerJobs – A listing of compiler, language and runtime teams
Is this possible for a guy with no previous compiler experience to join?
michaellee8··on Show HN: Git-fired tells you who was fired / added based on Git log
It tells you what new names existed or old names removed in your commit log during the specified periods. Suppport comparing based on name+email or name only. Support recursively looping through all subdirectries.

Sample usage:

# git-fired 2021/06/01 2021/05/01 -single

# git-fired 2021/06/01 2021/05/01 -multi

# git-fired 2021/06/01 2021/05/01 -single -name

# git-fired 2021/06/01 2021/05/01 -single -name

compares the commit log of the current repo (-single) or all git repos under current directory (-multi) during 2021/05/01 to 2021/06/01 and 2021/06/01 to now, by default compares using name+email, pass -name to compare using name only.
