psyclobe··on Alzheimer's disease mortality among taxi and ambulance drivers (2024)
Yeah my mom would slowly forget how to get to my house, it was sad she would always try but just not quite get it... She eventual died of Alzheimer's a some years later...
psyclobe··on Unlocking 25 Gigabit/S on 10 GbE Direct Attach Copper
So... can we upgrade our existing sfp connectors to 25GBPs if our cable quality is good enough?
psyclobe··on Windows native app development is a mess
But isn't that illegal now? You have to write everything in rust according to their cto.
psyclobe··on No evidence cannabis helps anxiety, depression, or PTSD
It certainly helps with boredom but quickly losses it's effect after repeated use.

I am calling it quits for now it's been making m a little crazy and I want to see what life is like without it for a while.

psyclobe··on Do Not Turn Child Protection into Internet Access Control
If you think u can control a kids imagination to circumvent these controls then you are part of the problem
psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
Today, not much differentiates them. But as time passes our only option will be to further specialize the hardware to get realistic gains; at some point perhaps a 'purpose built analog' computer kinda thing will get to the point where it is so useful, that it would be like the 'Standard Template Constructs' concept in Warhammer 30k. So what you can make a faster ai but, the current one can 'teach everyone, basically anything'.
psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
I really think this is a temporary scenario, there will be advancements in ai's building the next generation of ais, where the scale of the model continually shrinks and maybe there will be some break through that allows us to double the use of existing hardware/memory etc.

10 years ago I couldn't do alexa at my house, now I'm pretty close with a Qwen3:8b / Ollamma LLM (I mean I never really wanted alexa to do anything other then play music, automate stuff, etc. zero interest in it teaching me how to code).

I'm even thinking at some point we'll consider ai to be a fundamental human right to have access too as otherwise you are inherently in a disadvantaged position in terms of wealth prospects to those who do have access.

psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
Yeah but, how long do mainframes last? Think of the COBOL systems used in government. No reason to update them, they worked forever; their job is discrete and they performed it well enough where intense updating wasn't a requirement.
psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
I'm thinking 'everyone needs an air conditioner', kinda need. Instead of 'some nerds run servers'. And this 'ac' is your 'ai'.

Maybe even subsidized by the government. This will be a fundamental need.

psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
Well, custom/bespoke training for your families particular needs perhaps, performed once every 5 years.

I mean I envision analog/custom/bespoke ai hardware that is fundamentally 'good enough'. I mean as the market increases its need for these systems and as time progresses at some point it'll like warhammer 30k where these 'standard template constructs' are smart enough to basically teach you anything.

psyclobe··on MacBook M5 Pro and Qwen3.5 = Local AI Security System
I have always envisioned a ai server being part of a family's major purchases e.g. when they buy a house, appliance, etc. they also buy a 'ai system'.

Machine hardware evolution is slowing down, pretty soon you can buy one big ass server that will last potentially decades as it would be purpose built for ai.

Things like 'context based home security' yeah thats just, automatic, free, part of the ai system.

Everyone will talk to the ai through their phones and it'll be connected to the house, it'll have lineage info of the family may be passed down through generations etc, and it'll all be 100% owned, offline, for the family; a forever assistant just there.

psyclobe··on Tesla registrations crash 17% in Europe as BEV market surges 14%
> These are results for what is bev market auto industry > Search instead for what is bev market auto industru > AI Overview > The Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) market involves vehicles powered exclusively by electricity via onboard battery packs, without any internal combustion engine. It is a rapidly growing, high-investment sector within the automotive industry aimed at zero-emission transportation. Key aspects include accelerating market share, intense competition, and improvements in charging infrastructure.
psyclobe··on What it means that Ubuntu is using Rust
it means, no more sudo -E it means no more stdbuf piping
psyclobe··on I pitched a roller coaster to Disneyland at age 10 in 1978
I once wrote a letter to Senator Dianne Feinstein to end her war on drugs when I was in college. I recall it discretely.
psyclobe··on FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook, so AI built one for me
Even bigger accomplishment is ai finally figured out how to configure my samba share for guest access! Lol
psyclobe··on What it means that Ubuntu is using Rust
Sudo no longer supporting path inheritance kinda sucks
psyclobe··on Warcraft III Peon Voice Notifications for Claude Code
What no Linux support?
psyclobe··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
I tried to use it, kept saying it was at max capacity and nothing would happen. I gave it a good day before giving up.
psyclobe··on How AI assistance impacts the formation of coding skills
It’s kinda scary actually. After getting used to ai doing all the work, doing it yourself again is like using a toilet without a bidet.
psyclobe··on How AI assistance impacts the formation of coding skills
> If you sucked before using AI > you are going to suck with AI

This.

psyclobe··on The all new Mecha Comet, live on Kickstarter
What that looks cool af. I'm always interested in finding the smaller, most powerful device possible and this one looks perrfect for terminux'ing back into your homes lab to continue an LLM chat after you leave your desk.
psyclobe··on C++26 Reflection loves QRangeModel
Eh, the raw capability of this feature will I think prove its use
psyclobe··on Claude Chill: Fix Claude Code's flickering in terminal
Seeing massive slowdowns in console interactions today... is there a correlation? Others here at my work are seeing it too!
psyclobe··on I set all 376 Vim options and I'm still a fool

psyclobe··on PCs refuse to shut down after Microsoft patch
Haha I have never used the start menu to shutdown windows I mean it hasn’t been for 20 plus years; I have it engraved into my head for so long to use the shutdown /f /t 0 /s has what a price of shit os.
psyclobe··on I set all 376 Vim options and I'm still a fool
Uh to be perfectly honest for the past … 30 years I’ve ran with a buddies vimrc and really never took the time to understand it; it was perfectly good lol and to this day I could not recreate it if I lost it.

> lowercase a whole buffer,

Happens a lot to me actually!

That and accidentally incrementing a numeric value haha..

psyclobe··on Ask HN: ADHD – How do you manage the constant stream of thoughts and ideas?
201 orders on Amazon this month lol…
psyclobe··on I hate GitHub Actions with passion
I have spent the majority of my professional career waiting for ci to complete. It is hell.
psyclobe··on I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too
Just be sure to give up any dreams of power saving, sleep states or hibernation
