nullpoint420··on Eric Schmidt tried to convert Google to Java
Wow is this true? Hopefully I don’t come across this way. I’m a huge Kotlin fan but strongly dislike Java for its verbosity.

Is hating on Java really a dog whistle like you say?

nullpoint420··on Show HN: Sx 2.0 – Share AI skills with your team through a Dropbox folder
Librechat self-hosted in our cluster that points to our ZDR ai gateway. They have SSO logins.

inb4 "we're updating our Terms of Service - all Cloudflare-based scrapers will now automatically be enrolled to scrape your cached websites"

and they'll explain how it's great because it's only reading the cached versions, not hitting upstream.

nullpoint420··on Precursor
Cloudflare, apparently.
nullpoint420··on EU Parliament greenlights Chat Control 1.0
The effort required to do it
nullpoint420··on Almost all coders at Id Software have been fired, following Xbox reset
Possibly the worst choice they could have ever made. I have no faith in Xbox’s technical ability anymore.
nullpoint420··on Learning to code is still worthwhile
i always hear this argument. and then those that proclaim it get stuck for a sprint trying to fit a square peg in a round hole

and then i get a ticket a month later because the customer reported the feature isn't working. all while they proclaim how much they care about the customer.

i'm not just talking about one person. i feel as if there's an archetype of programmer that thinks like this.

nullpoint420··on Full Writeup of the Windows GDID
cool. we definitely needed this
nullpoint420··on Qualcomm Linux 2.0
Nothing about the CPU architecture itself requires that. They can run a standard UEFI/ACPI stack.
nullpoint420··on Qualcomm Linux 2.0
I get that. But it's a platform that is so similar to existing Linux on ARM offerings.

All the subsystems to run a laptop should already be there, no?

nullpoint420··on Qualcomm Linux 2.0
Just upstream your drivers! Then you don't need Qualcomm Linux.... you just have Linux.
nullpoint420··on Zero-Downtime Deployments with Docker Compose – No Kubernetes Required
What workloads are other people running?

I wouldn't say my career is out of the ordinary, however most software I've built/maintained need more than one host.

nullpoint420··on A game where you're an OS and have to manage processes, memory and I/O events
You are a life saver. I never knew about --firmware!
nullpoint420··on LuaJIT 3.0 proposed syntax extensions
> This feels like adding braces to Python because you don't like indenting your code.

Now this I can get behind...

nullpoint420··on Zero-Downtime Deployments with Docker Compose – No Kubernetes Required
Okay, I'll bite. What if your workload genuinely doesn't fit on one machine? Like load balancing or clustering 20+ nodes for LLM inference?
nullpoint420··on Zero-Downtime Deployments with Docker Compose – No Kubernetes Required
100%. And a shared mental model. I love how I can scale up all my services the same way, across clouds.

It's great.

nullpoint420··on Claude: Elevated errors across many models
Definitely runs on those local NVIDIA fridges you can buy in the basement
nullpoint420··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
To drive fast?

HP G1A Ultra?
nullpoint420··on Pentagon raised threat of Israeli spying on U.S. to highest level, sources say
I wanted to like him, but then after watching a few podcast appearances I realized he loves to play every side. He usually just reflects the hosts beliefs back to them.

It also doesn’t help that he’s trying to line up a pardon from Trump, as well.

nullpoint420··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
Fair, but it’s electron. They can just add a new target and recompile the native libraries they’re using for Linux.

It’s really not that hard.

nullpoint420··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
I get it. I wish there were more great laptop makers. I had a maxed out 16in M2 Max MacBook Pro, now I have an 15in M3 MBA. I also have a maxed out HP G1A Ultra running Fedora. They’re all excellent.
nullpoint420··on Anthropic, please ship an official Claude Desktop for Linux
I'm still surprised at how many developers still turn their noses up at using Linux.

Like... You already use Docker and deploy to K8S... On Linux...

nullpoint420··on Do transformers need three projections? Systematic study of QKV variants
It kinda reminds me of general relativity and gravity bending space-time. I'm sure I sound nuts right now, but the model fits in my head.
nullpoint420··on Azure Linux 4.0 is Microsoft's first general-purpose Linux
Agreed on the Google front here.
nullpoint420··on Azure Linux 4.0 is Microsoft's first general-purpose Linux
Embrace, Extend, Extinguish anyone? Although, as a Fedora user I'm happy it's RPM based.
nullpoint420··on Expanding Project Glasswing
Ah ok, sure. The difference being the model should know how to do both based on what I’ve been told.

So why didn’t Anthropic ask it for me?

nullpoint420··on Expanding Project Glasswing
Bingo. Humility over marketing
nullpoint420··on Expanding Project Glasswing
I also don’t like your framing, here.

We need experts to know when AI is wrong, which it is all the time.

Earlier this week someone commented here that we shouldn’t expect a language model to know that you need to drive a car to a car wash, to wash a car.

So then, what do we expect it to know? Who’s responsible for when it’s wrong?

Also, why can’t Mythos just fix all these issues itself if it’s so smart. And test them to make sure they work?

nullpoint420··on Dav2d
yes it is. all modern operating systems sandbox assembly. that's how it works.
