notdian··on Gemini 3.8 Flash appears to be rolling out now
Already available on agy-cli. Edit: https://deepmind.google/models/model-cards/gemini-3-8-flash/
notdian··on ComputeBench: Instruction-following benchmarks for long, step-by-step arithmetic
Vibecoded this after seeing models do amazing things but still drift on simple recursive steps; tracks exact match, answer accuracy, prefix correctness. Feedback welcome.
notdian··on How to Run WordPress completely from RAM
Linux page cache + PHP-FPM OPcache already keep hot PHP in RAM (no per-request disk hits after warm-up), and if your dataset fits in memory you size innodb_buffer_pool you don’t move the whole MariaDB datadir to tmpfs and throw away durability.

notdian··on A DOGE staffer appears to be posting DOGE work on his public GitHub
Looks like they used it to scrape the DMs for the @doge account, as they are calling for people to report "fraud" there. Crazy that the US government is allowing a third party such as X to have such control.
