petee··on Claude Fable 5: mid-tier results on coding tasks
> Contrary to some community reports, we saw zero safety refusals.

And now there always will be some doubt as to whether your model was silently downgraded, no? I guess acknowledgement could be used a signal?

petee··on Why Janet? (2023)
Awesome thank you, I appreciate that
petee··on Why Janet? (2023)
Is there any particular plugin system you're referring to? I'm interested to learn more, out of curiosity. Janet's code is pretty easy to read, so you've got me learning about the vm now :)
petee··on Why Janet? (2023)
Not sure exactly what you're getting at, you mean transfer mid-execution to another thread? You can load and run a script on any thread you can load janet on, and you can coordinate across threads if need be. To clarify, janet_init just sets up the VM

I'd also go take a look at the actual docs and code, I'm not sure I know the exact answer, but assumptions won't help

Edit: there was someone on the Zulip that mentioned working on audio plugins, and there are a couple other audio-related projects you could check out. Someone there might have a better answer -- https://janet.zulipchat.com/

Janet global state is thread local;[1] janet_init() is called once per thread.

The TIC-80 game engine embeds Janet, and if i recall sandboxes the games created
petee··on Why Janet? (2023)
I guess you could transpile direct to Janet bytecode, and performance would be in theory the same as native Janet?
petee··on Why Janet? (2023)
Personally I get hung up on the macro syntax being near the beginning, but there is so much valuable stuff past that

"small peg tracer"[1] is really helpful for breaking down a PEGs operation

It was named after the sentient computer system in the TV show "The Good Place"

petee··on I love my Bluetooth keyboard
Same here, seems like everyone has forgotten how to make rubber products; my 10yr thinkpad is a mix of brittle and going-gooey on different parts. I'm on my second MX Anywhere

I use 5-min epoxy and a toothpick to rebuild the nubs when they wear off. Keyboards don't last long if you have calluses

petee··on Flipper One – we need your help
Thats terrible marketing then. Trying to leverage an unrelated device because it was popular is almost guaranteed to spurn those expecting the next flipper to be an improved flipper, not a "not-a-flipper"
petee··on Flipper One – we need your help
Based on a lot of the comments here, this would have been decently received if it were marketed as something not-a-flipper...the "Willy One".

Especially the loss of IR, which is great for kids to play with and get immediate feedback

petee··on OpenBSD 7.9
Authoritative DNS (nsd) and email (opensmtpd) runs out of the box with minimal config on very low ram kvms. The documentation is fantastic, installation is easy; sysupgrade has been a big improvement, though I wish they'd slow the release cycle a little
petee··on Texas county passes 1-year data center construction ban
And you're 100% ok if it were being built immediately outside your window, right?
petee··on Zenith: a live local-first fixed viewport planetarium
I did a show and tell for an elementary school class of my astronomy hobby with a tracking telescope and sunfilter. One of the best things happened accidentally when the tracking died, but the kids ended up really amazed by just how fast the sun was moving out of view, and getting to manually chase it; otherwise it would have been a cool but fairly boring view
petee··on MacBook Neo Deep Dive: Benchmarks, Wafer Economics, and the 8GB Gamble
That's impressive on an 8GB system!
petee··on Android rolling out AI 'Contextual suggestions' that learn from your habits
And enabled by default. I like the part where they say it won't be shared, "unless you give permission to share your data for some other purpose, ..." Meaning some other setting elsewhere also enabled by default
petee··on Ask HN: We just had an actual UUID v4 collision...
I've always looked at it the the other way - being that lucky would mean you have even less chance of something else lucky happening, good time to save your money
petee··on DNSSEC disruption affecting .de domains – Resolved
Temporarily is a fairly important word to include with that link
petee··on DNSSEC disruption affecting .de domains – Resolved
Perhaps its more fair to call it 'passionate'.

That said, the last few dnssec posts that got traction, tptacek tends to be at least 20% of the comments alone (ex, 55/259), ignoring word count. Today seems calm

petee··on Using the internet like it's 1999
Are there any decent webrings left, or newly existing?

petee··on Making RAM at Home [video]
2030. All flying cars are actually armed drones - homefab is outlawed
petee··on Why is IPv6 so complicated?
Fwiw opera mobile on Android selects the whole address there when i long-press
petee··on The buns in McDonald's Japan's burger photos are all slightly askew
You can find this style of product display in the US all the way back to the 60s, though McDonald's ads appear to favor sliding the bun more away from the camera than to the side. Also saw about equal number of burgers in a straight stack from that era
petee··on Codex Hacked a Samsung TV
What would be the difficulty level for it to just read the machine code; are these models heavily relying on human language for clues?
petee··on Backblaze has stopped backing up OneDrive and Dropbox folders and maybe others
This happened to me, a drive I rarely use silently died, and backblaze gave no indication that suddenly the whole drive was missing. Customer support explained to me how "backup" doesn't actually mean "backup"
petee··on We have a 99% email reputation, but Gmail disagrees
I do frequently, but I honestly can't recall the last time a message i really wanted actually ended up there. I mostly end up hitting not-spam on marketing/updates that I've actually subscribed to
petee··on We have a 99% email reputation, but Gmail disagrees
In the android app when I hit report spam, a dialog pops up suggesting I try to unsubscribe first, and shows both buttons
