sisve··on Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash
Have you tried openrouters auto model? Tries to give you the best model based on prompt and price

sisve··on Bonsai 2 27B: Near-Lossless Compression in a 9x Smaller Footprint
They mention 5090 with regards to speed, Q6 will not have that speed?

And speed matters a lot for many use cases

sisve··on Isar Aerospace reaches orbit and deploys payloads on second flight
Did you just compare Belarus and Norway now?

Is Inside-Europe-Norway not better then Belarus? I would consider us (norway) a stable and good partner to the EU.

Give us 25 years and we will join EU if it still exists:)

sisve··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
For satellites that should be in Sun-synchronous orbit Andøy is a great place to launch from
sisve··on Private German rocket makes history, reaches orbit from European soil
Would maybe call it European territory but not soil. But yeah, as you say it's how you define it.
sisve··on Ask HN: Alternatives to GitHub
Have been running self-hosted forgejo for a while now. Work's like a charm. Easy to use with LLM
sisve··on Harvesting SSH Credentials: Insights from My Honeypot Network
Did you check out the statistics on the site? They listed 1233456, 12345, 1234,123 and 1 on the toplist of password.

If we are going to be clever we should follow the statistics and go for 12 that where not on the toplist!!

This is how it's planned in the EU is it not?
sisve··on Decathlon Germany adds Wero payment option to decathlon.de website
Thanks for the correction
sisve··on Decathlon Germany adds Wero payment option to decathlon.de website
Wow. Interesting. Do you know how that was done?

The latest I heard about an alternative to Google play services was https://www.heise.de/en/news/Paying-without-Google-New-conso...

If you where able to send and receive I was obviously wrong. I'm very glad but also confused.

sisve··on Decathlon Germany adds Wero payment option to decathlon.de website
AfAIK wero needs Google Play Integrity. So you are still stuck with Google.

When that are said. I 100% agree with you - one step at a time.

I think Wero will no longer depend on that in 3–5 years. It's just real challenges that the European banking system needs to figure out.

The EU works slow, but it does move :)

Kind of like the Ents in LOTR

sisve··on Turn And Face The Strange
Maybe tone it down? personal attacks are not needed or wanted. Let's discuss AI, if not keep your comments for yourself
sisve··on Cruller: Bun's Zig Runtime, Continued on Zig 0.16
You can point it out, but we should also mentioning that the author also points it out:

AI / LLM usage disclosure

AI was used as an engineering assistant for parts of the Zig 0.16 migration, build/debug investigation, and focused test work. The project scope, architecture decisions, review of changes, and build/test verification remain maintainer-directed. This is not a purely AI-generated project.

sisve··on The real prices of frontier models. Tokens * Price, right?
Yeah. To often now a days there are articles with really good points, but they are just so verbose and clearly AI generated.

I could live with ai content if it was short and to the point. But it's always so lengthy. Hope that will change.

A tl;dr section at the top and then the long read from ai could also be OK if they marked it.

sisve··on Rewriting Bun in Rust
> Gosh, I don't think any game engines have particularly good test suites at all.

What? I do understand that a CRUD app with little to no logic do not focus on test.

But any kind of engine.. i can not understand that it's not a priority? In general I'm not a big fan of unit test on simple websites, they do not give any real value compared to effort

But I remember working on a complex codename. It was extremely important to have close to 100% unit test in the core part. Saved me a lot.

sisve··on PostgreSQL and the OOM killer: Why we use strict memory overcommit
Nah, your doing great, you just reflect on you own position and adjust it. People are just (too) suspicious when people are not locked in their ways and are nice instead of hostile
sisve··on CursorBench 3.1
If I understand the graph correctly;

Fable is using less tokens to achive that same tasks compared to sonet and opus. If so that is a good thing. It feels like we for a while there was spitting out tokens to get a better result. If the model themselves are getting better without generating more tokens that feels like a real win.

Q1: Why is number of steps relevant in this graph? What does it tell us?

Q2: and why have they flipped the horizontal graph so that 0 is to the right and not at origo? Is that some kind of new smart thing? can't say i have seen it before

sisve··on Ornith-1.0: self-improving open-source models for agentic coding
Do you think we will get a self-improving model in 26 or 27? Maybe not a native one but some kind of hack so a model will learn something without loosing part of the context window?
sisve··on Turn your site into a place people can bump into each other
Pure fun. Love it.
sisve··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
Based on the paper it hits harder on the brighter

From https://cepr.org/publications/dp21577 :

The losses are largest in social science subjects, followed by STEM and languages, and are especially large for junior students, high-achieving students, and boys.

No mention of the weakest student. Which probably means they did not have a significant worse or better score

sisve··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
Can agree on that.

The description of the paper also said:

AI users who maintain similar homework completion time as non-AI users experience small learning losses.

This was a surprise too me. I would have thought otherwise.

Would love to see some evidence about if more or less people fall behind and have worse results. In my head the AI should be able to get the weakest students a bit highere.

sisve··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
> reduces completion time by 30%

This is probably the big problem, or at least one of them.. If you use less time on learning, it will probably be harder to remember what you learned also. We need to spend some time to make it stick

sisve··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
There where no clear rules on the matter. Now the PM has given some guidance to schools so they know when they should use it and not.

If there are no guidance teachers and schools can do what they want and some teachers would probably go to far to early

sisve··on .gitignore Isn't the only way to ignore files in Git
Yes
sisve··on Swiss parliament lifts ban on new nuclear power plants
Norwegian here.

- We have a lot of hydro, that are very cheap to produces and for some of the power plants we fill up water by using solar and wind when that is very cheap and generate power back when it's demand for it (meaning selling it expensive)

-Norway export more then we are importing. But that could shift in the coming years.

-Nuclear power are expensive, so with the current prices it do not make sense to have nuclear in Norway. Thought that could change (see point 2)

- not sure what you mean by "little land usable", you can absolutely be correct. in terms of size we are bigger then Germany. But I'm not sure how much usable land there is vs other countries. We do not have that big population but it's spread out and no one wants a wind park in their neighborhood

sisve··on TIL: You can make HTTP requests without curl using Bash /dev/TCP
I did not think you sounded like claude. Then I looked again after the comment was made and then I saw some of the vibes. Like acknowledging a mistake you have done.

Before that would just made you top 5% (or maybe top 1%) of the nicest people to talk too.. know ppl think you are Claude.

We are all going crazy s a sibling comment said.

sisve··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
You are right. I haven't considered that enough. I do agree with you that globalism will be decreased even in the context of a decade, but I think it will be on a level that still give us some cost reduction. But I do think (at least hope) geopolitics will be better in 5-7 years.
sisve··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
All depends. The current technology will be cheaper in a year or two. The best cutting edge stuff will properly be even more expensive. But in 10 years time... we can run current SOTA models (or models that are equally good ) on our local hardware
sisve··on Nvidia is proposing a beast of a CPU system for Windows PCs
> I am not sure how many people will run AI models locally. It still seems like a niche application to me.

Bill Gates had a quote some years ago...

People have still not learned how fast we improve our tech and how much cheaper thing gets I guess :)
