Strange words in my head pop up 3 times

Yes to it is unix Wow for the sync What !!! For this

Have to stop reading to avoid brain go crazy

ngcc_hkon Running Gemma 4 26B at 5 tokens/sec on a 13-year-old Xeon with no GPU

In 1980s ibm has studied and said why sub-second response needed to maintain the mental flow. That time you send a whole screen unlike unix like character by character. This proves very true even when you deal with form processing. I think that we are dealing with the same issue here.

Keep your mental context in your brain is critical

ngcc_hkon Steve Jobs Brought the Apple II to the Classroom

Crossing the chasm.

ngcc_hkon Six Math Essentials

Basic … that kind of word give me nightmare in my mind when you talked about maths … still remember a book called “elementary set theory” …

ngcc_hkon Show HN: CIA World Factbook Archive (1990–2025), searchable and exportable

Not all. But some may. And in case you were shut down someone else can continue and one day it may be resurfaced perhaps even in USA.

ngcc_hkon Television is 100 years old today

Only 100 years. Less than even Leica ? Wow!

ngcc_hkon I replaced Windows with Linux and everything's going great

Wonder about power usage.

ngcc_hkon We recreated Steve Jobs's 1975 Atari horoscope program

Still not get Steve can program. Always think it is one of his key to his success is do not know this. Oh. It is a myth.

ngcc_hkon Calling All Hackers: How money works (2024)

Because not everyone can read the source. Hence might be better to say let us have better summary or take, not just post to the source guy.

ngcc_hkon Locating a Photo of a Vehicle in 30 Seconds with GeoSpy

Concerned but given the use can it be stopped ?

ngcc_hkon I wanted a camera that doesn't exist, so I built it

Not hobby. Taking photo is always key to life for many.

Before phone for major event like graduation, wedding and baby birth people do buy one camera with one lens for the occasion and keep it as a family heirloom like. And even students gala and performances. Whilst a lot of point and shot, slr and later dslr are common. The key it is not a hobby to them but a life even to record.

Unlike people like us canon and nikon found it hard to sell the second lens or even second body.

ngcc_hkon I wanted a camera that doesn't exist, so I built it

Olympus is one of the few camera (I literally have hundreds as this is my side hobby) I love to use. Until every time I want to change anything. As a guy who can do 8x10, gfx, 907x, z9 etc I still find the menu system totally confusing.

It is not the hardware, it is the software …

ngcc_hkon Linux is good now

Let us say Star Wars. Until someone has a daughter and suddenly found out there is no nothing between them and then he should we say now we have one then very annoying girl Jedi forced onto the team.

ngcc_hkon Linux is good now

Sorry being IT guy I wondered about the logic. I understand the need to align. But if one fail all fail and children like customers … not the patient kind? Or you have two system within each … then across the …. Sorry cannot stop my mind spinning.

ngcc_hkon QNX Self-Hosted Developer Desktop

Totally miss this.

ngcc_hkon How uv got so fast

I believe incompetence is the key. When someone cannot compete (or the office does not use yardstick that can be measurable) politics is the only way to get you up.

Switch to what Nobel prize to man instead of the woman who do the work … sometimes. Take the credit and get the promotion.

ngcc_hkon Should we fear Microsoft's monopoly?

If there is a monopoly, anyone should be afraid. Even if it is government. That is why you have democracy.

Second source … is one of the example of a major strategy against this.

ngcc_hkon macOS 26.2 enables fast AI clusters with RDMA over Thunderbolt

Why maint other and have baggage ?

ngcc_hkon Ensuring a National Policy Framework for Artificial Intelligence

National … is it relevant ? And what is the point and why republicans do what the democrats do. Wonder.

ngcc_hkon Personal blogs are back, should niche blogs be next?

Struggle quite a bit to share hobby interest via anything including instagram. Might try this. Back to date of html 1.0 and gopher …

I still sad about my favorite go to photography blog was gone dark because of the vendor is sort of gone I guess. Might be we have to live with Buddha worldview - nothing is permanent.

ngcc_hkon AMD GPUs Go Brrr

Is apple a hw or sw … or is that a wrong question. Why is a company has to be a hw or sw one ?

If nvidia dominate because of CUDA and why it can do it but amd should not?

ngcc_hkon Steam Machine

Switch and Pi both pointed this direction. May we even have netbook back for simple gaming cum internet devices.

ngcc_hkon A modern 35mm film scanner for home

I thought you use a camera on stand is the common way now. Did one in Edinburgh and ordered one back home waiting for delivery. After decade of epson it is not comparable for speed and option …

for just contact sheet fast … you can just move and push the blue tooth button … for one particular treasure slow … you can do pixel shift and focus stacking …

ngcc_hkon How I stopped worrying and started loving the Assembly

Still enjoying this assembly

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45646958

I guess it would be nice to have a more entry level piece not just a more advanced stuff and a story. Still nice. But not that involved and getting into IT is more than involvement and interaction.
