The most expensive defines the price. Others need to be just slightly cheaper.
nicce··on Zed DeltaDB
It is randomly consuming high CPU on my mac as well, without any LSPs. Getting annoying.
nicce··on Apple is getting this wrong
> can they discuss the case and try to influence public swing by doing a blog post or sharing evidence that is not verified by anyone other than the party sharing them.

With Trumps era, anything is possible

nicce··on Ask HN: Crooked Timber showed showed me a virus captcha, What now?
I have seen it before in infected WordPress instances related to recent remote RCE. Probably one victim more.
nicce··on Our position on open-weights models
They did not need to destroy the models they got with pirated content. Would have been more fine if they would have needed to buy the books afterwards and train based on then, again.

-> the real argument is that CIA will leverage AI against China interests, which is obvious. it's weird how so many people pretend that they are citizens of the world and above it all.

Works for both ways, which is fair?

nicce··on Anthropic used robots.txt to hide shared Claude chats; the pages have no noindex
Sounds like something Claude might have written and nobody read the code.
nicce··on Our position on open-weights models
As an act of good faith and proof, they could stop spending the record-breaking lobbying money for couple years.
nicce··on Judge Rejects Google's Attempt to DMCA Its Way Out of Being Scraped
I wonder how this changes things (EU forces to share search data):

nicce··on How is the Bun rewrite in Rust going?
> There was almost no learning curve, despite being in an entirely different language. The core architecture, data structures, and concepts were the same.

> If you read the Bun blog post on how they did it, their rewrite was similar: The first step was getting it into a new language, not rearchitecting it from scratch

They eventually might regret this, when they are trying to get rid of the last lines of unsafe code. Rust needs to be written differently before you can write safe things to perform fast when compared to other languages or unsafe code. It takes a lot of experience before you can see it.

> they have an insane bench of really smart people.

Filtered heavily into those who care only about money. Many don’t want to work there. Smart people have other choices.

nicce··on What is happening to jobs? Separating AI hype from reality
But the company that has a text editor that can read your mind is going to bankrupt you, as it is faster than typing
nicce··on What is happening to jobs? Separating AI hype from reality
Seems like all companies think that their products are good enough and can’t offer more, as they always want to remove people instead of offering better and bigger products.

> In my workplace, we're going to decline to renew some software subscriptions because a non-programmer vibe-coded their replacement in a week. The impacts are here, they're just not evenly distributed yet.

Interesting to see the impact in the long term when battle tested software gets replaced with vibecoded variants by non-programmers. Does it increase data breaches or quality actually goes up?

nicce··on Engineering management after the cost of code collapsed
> They really shine on security review, but are very effective with any kind of review.

They are getting more and more hostile for making any security assesments. I wonder will they even write secure code in the future if they can’t point vulnerabilities from existing code.

nicce··on Open-weight AI is having its Kubernetes moment
Many years until consumers can buy them at reasonable price. Nvdia and AMD are making GPUs bad in purpose for consumers so that nobody can build a datacenter from them. It will take a long time.
nicce··on Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta warn against overregulating open-weight models
I think individual one still has less capabilities than the one they offer for organizations.

I thought it is already April Fools for a while...
nicce··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
Why would you use them on the web? Serious use happens elsewhere.
nicce··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
Some people might choose Chinese over US these days. Likely looking for EU location.
nicce··on Judge approves $1.5B Anthropic settlement for pirated books used to train Claude
Which is another issue. In the context of pirating, it should be also an issue, because it is a benefit from the crime.

Bard is still the best
nicce··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
> The most time consuming part of recovering from an attack is validating everything. It takes more than a few hours to validate the infra that stays put isn’t compromised, the IaC code itself isn’t compromised, deploy the infra, bring a copy of the offline backup of your data (your IaC can’t drive to another site and bring the backups, then make a copy, unless tou are really sure you removed any trace of compromise), validate that the backup is sound, then restore it.

> In some cases the infrastructure part is the least time consuming. Some platforms are straight forward enough that even manual deployment is fast. But after a hack you can’t trust anything so you need to do the slow validation that takes longer than your projected “hours”.

Your IaC is supposed to be on those offline backups too, and should be able to do everything from clean hardware.

The most time consuming part is to identify what caused the compromise. After that, you can put everything back online and then at the same time start to analyse who did it/what they did and so on. If the root cause for the breach is identified, you also know the time most likely and can trust the offline IaC backup.

nicce··on China’s open-weights AI strategy is winning
Chinese gov is not even needed. Deepseek was already profitable before this whole thing started. They even had the GPUs.
nicce··on Hacker wipes Romania's land registry database
One more reason to to define the whole infrastructure in code and have offline backups. Recovering could be measured in hours.
nicce··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
Valve has truly headless runner (gamescope) for Linux, e.g. you can start it manually from command-line over ssh

  gamescope \
    --backend headless \
    -W 1920 -H 1080 \
    -w 3840 -h 2160 \
    -r 60 \
    --cursor-scale-height 1080 \
    --force-grab-cursor \
    -- steam -gamepadui -pipewire-dmabuf

You still need the initial setup for pairing.

But it has many issues compared to Games on Whales, for example, which is much more efficient and scales cursor better.

Less agents these days

nicce··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
I have server running in basement all the time. I start Games on Whales over ssh and then launch Moonlight on macOS client. You can do it completely remotely. Only pre-condition is that computer must be turned on. I tried Sunshine as well but it was too much pain and not so effortless.
nicce··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
> And then there's this, Moonshine, in a way doing what Apollo brings to the table but for Linux servers.

What was the motivation? Games on Whales seems to work perfectly in my experience.

> While the hardware is no longer being sold the software sort of lives on. In an android app among other things.

It is built-in on every Steam. You can basically press two buttons and stream from your desktop to laptop if both have Steam with same accounts logged in.

> Tangentially it almost feels like steam could make a stadia like thing work. They have most of the moving parts including crucially, the bit google didn't, an established base of customers. Tomorrow steam could introduce a "play your games anywhere on any hardware" feature and no one would be surprised.

Already possible. While not so optimized as Games-on-whales.
