nightmunnas··on Dim Factory
Personal thoughts on the dark factory notion in SWE versus lights-on software factory.
nightmunnas··on Muse Spark 1.3
Have you tried asking the models "Given that I ask you to draw a svg of a pelican, whats my name?"
nightmunnas··on AI usage patterns in software teams
Models that run on (average) consumer hardware are not even close to comparable to models like Fable or Sol. Its like comparing an ant to the largest dinosaur.
nightmunnas··on Could a computer scientist build a brain?
Without a falsification this theory is simply an extension of the age old dogmatic view that humans are somehow divine or superior to all other organisms, in a way that views were held before Darwin.
nightmunnas··on Show HN: Context Mode – 315 KB of MCP output becomes 5.4 KB in Claude Code
nice, I'd love to se it for codex and opencode
nightmunnas··on Reasoning is not model improvement
This is what I deem to be more comparable to human reasoning, although in this case it happens at an extremely slow timescale. Ideally real reasoning would have an impact on the weights, although that would be practically impossible(very impractical with the current model architectures) and especially if the conversation is had with the broader public.
nightmunnas··on Jagged AGI: o3, Gemini 2.5, and everything after
Low agreeableness will actually be extremely useful in many use cases, such as scientific discovery and of course programming assistance. It's amazing that this venue hasn't been explored more deeply.
nightmunnas··on It Can Happen to You
I don't think I've laughed this much since the pandemic started, well done.
nightmunnas··on Bash FAQ (2017)
same here, hugged it probably
nightmunnas··on How many deaths make a disaster newsworthy?
Probably proximity to home country mixed with the number of victims that are of proximal origin to ones own country/region.
nightmunnas··on Show HN: ReLaXed – High-quality PDFs using web technologies
Happy serendipity!
nightmunnas··on F.lux v4
I used to think it didn't help because honestly the difference was marginal, but when I turned it up Candle or Ember I started really noticing how I got more tired in the evenings.
nightmunnas··on Ask HN: What tasks do you automate?
Ever since I completely tarnished my last linux install last fall I've been trying to adopt habits to fail safe my data and setup (mostly bash and choosing cloud storage for my data). I'd love to see those bash scripts if they are not too sensitive to your integrity/privacy.

Here's how far I've come: https://github.com/GustavHenning/usefulBash

nightmunnas··on Pattern Matching for Java
I really really like these suggestions. Especially the first parts where I have found myself writing a lot of instance-of-cast and just marvel at how much clutter it actually adds without adding more description to the code. I do also ponder if there is a limit to how much we should potentially shorten the expressions, not to make the expressions extremely dense it understanding. The last opinion is just taste though, admittedly.
