nurumaik··on Data centers in space makes no sense
> makes a thermos great at keeping your drink hot

Thermos has 2 parts responsible for thermal isolation: vacuum and some coating that reflects heat radiation

Also in earth conditions, most of thermal radiation goes to surrounding air, heating it. This is not the case with vacuum, so thermal radiation will be even more efficient

nurumaik··on xAI joins SpaceX
I think it's much simpler: smart mass surveillance. With LLMs you can finally read and analyze all messages people send to each other
nurumaik··on What Will You Do When AI runs Out of Money and Disappear?
> And there seems to be no realistic path to profitability

Ads, obviously

nurumaik··on Our approach to age prediction
What a coincidence: "protect the children" narrative got amplified right about when implementing profiling became needed for openai profits. Pure magic
nurumaik··on X blames users for Grok-generated CSAM; no fixes announced
If you ban grok, people will generate using unlocked open chinese models

Also, this always existed in one form or another. Draw, photoshop, imagine, discuss imaginary intercourse with popular person online or irl

It's not worthy of intervention because it will happen anyway and it doesn't fundamentally change much

nurumaik··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Nukes make a lot of difference though, wouldn't be so sure about russia
nurumaik··on FracturedJson
Minified json would use even less tokens
nurumaik··on A production bug that made me care about undefined behavior
Example from this article looks more like "unspecified" behavior rather than "undefined". Title made me expect nasal demons, now I'm a bit disappointed
nurumaik··on HSBC blocks its app due to F-Droid-installed Bitwarden
At least now it should be pretty easy for any tech person to patch apk removing this check
nurumaik··on Backing up Spotify
I'd rather complain why somebody decides for me where what websites I'm allowed to open
nurumaik··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Looks like they are acquiring the team rather than the product
nurumaik··on Leak confirms OpenAI is preparing ads on ChatGPT for public roll out
Using google was more productive
nurumaik··on Google Antigravity
Enabled by default since about a year

> GPU acceleration driven by the WebGL renderer is enabled in the terminal by default. This helps the terminal work faster and display at a high FPS by significantly reducing the time the CPU spends rendering each frame

nurumaik··on Google Antigravity
I easily notice lag in vscode even without plugins. Especially if using it right after zed. Ngl they made it astonishingly fast for an electron app, but there are physical limits of what can be done in web stack with garbage collected js
nurumaik··on Trying out Gemini 3 Pro with audio transcription and a new pelican benchmark
Seems like pelican benchmark is finally added to model training process
nurumaik··on Google Antigravity
If you want electron app that doesn't lag terribly, you'll end up rewriting ui layer from scratch anyway. VSCode already renders terminal on GPU and GPU-rendered editor area is in experimental. There will soon be no web ui left at all
nurumaik··on Lawmakers want to ban VPNs
Every country that hasn't begins with same
nurumaik··on Supply chain attacks are exploiting our assumptions
How much would it cost to just hire a team that will manually review every commit to every popular npm package and its dependencies? Is it possible to make it a working business? Seems like it will cost much less than total damage done by supply chain attacks
nurumaik··on This Month in Ladybird – October 2025
Well, they want me to view free movies if I use free browser, then
nurumaik··on Studies increasingly find links between air pollutants and dementia
I want to live in a condo rather than detached home. Private home is too much of a hassle to maintain properly and also less likely to have many different shops/restaurants within 5 min walk
nurumaik··on Poker Tournament for LLMs
Make entire chain of thought visible to each other and see if they can evolve into hiding strategies in their cot
nurumaik··on C++26: range support for std:optional
Maybe somewhere in C++60 we will finally have proper monads
nurumaik··on GNU Health
Money is always spent on something, economy is about how to spend it efficiently
nurumaik··on Fire destroys S. Korean government's cloud storage system, no backups available
Why not?
nurumaik··on Atuin Desktop: Runbooks That Run – Now Open Source
"Destructiveness" property is undecidable in general. If you ban rm from history, you'll just get false sense of security before you accidentally run some "aws bla bla drop production cluster"

Behavior of any system should be just one of: 1. Fully determinate 2. Have enough latency before confirmation (for example, block input for 1 second after displaying a command)

This should apply to history, any fuzzy searching, autocomplete etc

nurumaik··on Slack has raised our charges by $195k per year
Pissing off community with the word "hack" consisting of thousands of students with lots of free time to spare. I hope nothing will go wrong for salesforce after this move
nurumaik··on iPhone Air
Well that's what magsafe battery pack is for
nurumaik··on F-Stack – A network development kit with high performance based on DPDK
Anything more innovative happened since (honestly curious)?
nurumaik··on AI is predominantly replacing outsourced, offshore workers
I don't want AI customer support. I want open documentation so I can ask AI if I want or ask human support if it's not resolvable with available documentation

All my interactions with any AI support so far is repeatedly saying "call human" until it calls human

nurumaik··on South Park creator’s 2007 digital ad revenue sharing clause
I can live a life of comfort and luxury with $10k. Can you please donate everything above $10k of your networth right now?
