olwmc··on Updated Google Maps shows destruction of the city of Rafah
Cried seeing this. So much loss.
olwmc··on Does Reddit have an astroturfing problem? What the data suggests
Really good use of the toupee fallacy here.
olwmc··on Jeff – Jev-compatible 0.8B decision models, trained at home, ~30 ms
Sorry, do we have actual clear implementation details for Jev? I keep seeing these "recreations" or "Do Jev at home" but do we have access to their architecture? I haven't even used the product, I just find it strange.
olwmc··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
Agreed, agreed, and agreed again.
olwmc··on Made by Mechanical Means
The website, to me, looks like Claude's project with sprinklings of the author's intent, and not the other way around.
olwmc··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
Like dreamcatchers for CVEs
olwmc··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
The other answers to this question are good but I would also guess that this (comms on artifactory) likely happened during training as well, so they probably had a prior for it.
olwmc··on Revealing the details of how OpenAI agents hacked Hugging Face
This was my thought as well. Literally take any halfway decent greybeard and point them at "Hey, give us a sandbox for this kind of thing". I honestly was skeptical that they just vibecoded the entire thing but now more than ever I think they did.

olwmc··on Attention is all you have
Related and not related. Fans of https://andymatuschak.org/ might want to know that he is now working at https://x.com/pico, which apparently has the same tagline as this article "Attention is all you have". But really truly don't click that link that site is a hellhole.

olwmc··on Minimal Phone 2
Not to shill but if you're struggling with apps on your (i)phone, I can't recommend https://www.foqos.app/ enough. My weekly screentime (as measured by my iphone, not true screen time) is <1hr. NFC tag is optional you can literally buy a candy bar and tape the barcode to an index card and that will work. The physical layer is massive. Now my problem is just limited to desktop which is easier to control.
olwmc··on Astra for Coding: Why Are We Doing This Again?
This resonated with me. "Developing ideas and artifacts using AI breaks our normal intuitions along many meaningful axes and we've yet to update" is a really clean idea.
olwmc··on Identifying fake cosmetics using AI
This guy's lab does some really cool stuff using really basic ideas:

olwmc··on Building a backyard office, the build and cost breakdown
As someone born after the year 2000 this stuff is like looking at both a future that never was, and a past that couldn't have been.
olwmc··on Help I accidentally a wigglegram
If I'm not mistaken this blog is from a person I had the pleasure of working with in undergrad for a course project. They were brilliant then and are still now.
olwmc··on CrowdStrike Update: Windows Bluescreen and Boot Loops
I wish your mother the best <3
olwmc··on Beetle grows ‘termite’ on back to steal food
Gradient: Descended
olwmc··on JSON Hero: Enhanced JSON structure visualization
Tangentially related, I love this website: https://vanya.jp.net/vtree/. My first interpreter had a flag -j that output the AST as JSON so that I could see it on this site.

olwmc··on What are some cools topics one can learn about that aren't software dev related
Learn to use your body. Learn about how your body makes movements happen. Practice them. Improve your mobility, learn how it works. Learn about strength training. Practice it. Learn about cardiovascular fitness. Work towards it. You have so much to learn built into your own being and biological processes . You can even get technical with it. Limited ankle dorsiflexion? Go skim a meta analysis on how to improve it. Want to learn powerlifting? Learn about the methods used to improve your total or work towards a perfect squat. Your body is never finished. Learn about it and how to use it, and you’ll always have something to learn.
olwmc··on Browser in the Dark: flashlights with CSS and canvas
Very cool. Quick note. A flash warning would be appreciated on the “Wild West” option. :)
olwmc··on Ask HN: What happened to surveillance camera guy?
I believe he now goes by “Vagrant Holiday”. Could be wrong though
