People when OW LLM looks good in benchmarks: benchmaxxxed

People when OW LLM looks mediocre in benchmarks: disappointed

srigi··on Epoll vs. io_uring in Linux
This article is very brief and not deep enough. There is one I’m finding a much more “to the bone” and explaining io_uring concepts in much deeper details:

Feel free to reverse-search the related HN thread too.

srigi··on Apple's weird anti-nausea dots cured my car sickness
In (post)communist countries there is a common name - ISOSTAT switch.
srigi··on I’ve joined Anthropic
Not yet, but soon… Bun
srigi··on Accelerating Gemma 4: faster inference with multi-token prediction drafters
You could keep multimodal projector (understanding of audio, images & PDFs) in system RAM with `--no-mmproj-offload` in llama.cpp. Of course, then it is not accelerated with GPU, but you save its VRAM.
srigi··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
That is why we have discussions like these: https://x.com/i/status/2039099810943304073
srigi··on TimeCapsuleLLM: LLM trained only on data from 1800-1875
"I'm sorry, my knowledge cuttoff is 1875"
srigi··on Open models by OpenAI
Start with the YT series on neural nets and LLMs from 3blue1brown
srigi··on Why Cline doesn't index your codebase
The most funny thing is how synchronicity worked its magic:

Roo Code experimental code indexing using vector DB dropped 3 days ago. Theire using Tree-sitter (the same as Aider) to parse sources into ASTs and do vector embedding on that product, instead of plaintext.

srigi··on Postgres IDE in VS Code
Yeah, I remember that option - basic tier of DTU DB with 250GB of storage - free for one year, then continue for $15/m.

When the client brought some 3rd party expert and he advised rewriting to MySQL, I quickly did the math and it was like $60/m, without a free year.

We continued with DTU MSSQL with Prisma ORM and never regreted.

srigi··on Jules: An asynchronous coding agent
You will not be replaced by AI. You will be replaced by person using AI!
srigi··on Run LLMs on Apple Neural Engine (ANE)
Thank you very much.

Can you add a recent build of llama.cpp (arm64) to the results pool? I'm really interested in comparing mlx to llama.cpp, but setting up the mlx seems too difficult for me to do by myself.
srigi··on NASA Successfully Acquires GPS Signals on Moon
Well, in that case, why not build a hybrid—a low-orbit satellite network synced to a few ground bases that will give the exact position of flying over satellite(s)?

Building a network of a very tall tower every 58km around a globe of the Moon seems very uneconomic.

srigi··on Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
To me it doesn’t look like a bug. I believe it is a intended “feature” pushed from high management - a dark patern to make plebs pay for answer that has overflowed the quota.
srigi··on OpenAI whistleblower found dead in San Francisco apartment
If evil company knows that you have this kind of watch-dog, you’re risking a torture instead of quick death.
srigi··on Ask HN: What's your "I wish I knew this before starting" tech stack decision?
Don't jump on hyped technologies (like Kubernetes, or Kafka) from day 1. You would be surprised how much you can do with $5 VPS running PHP + Postgres.

Don't fancy your tech stack, shipp the bloody project!

srigi··on I found an 8 years old bug in Xorg
See for yourself:

srigi··on Proteins in blood could provide early cancer warning 'by more than seven years'
Isn’t the cancer the “exponential game”? If there are 20 cancer cells in the body on day 1, on day 30 there will be 10737418240 (10.7B) cells if they double every day. This is how we were taught about cancer, so it is a very quick process when started. How can you get 7 years of ahead of time in this setup?
srigi··on Serverless Horrors
What a great achievement of our society. Inventing a financial instrument to buy and sell debts.
srigi··on I deeply regret my participation in the board's actions
Saudi is banned from buying the most advanced AI accelerators.
srigi··on Ishkur's Guide to Electronic Music
I believe it is just outdated/not-updated. Atleast in DnB scene I can tell it is missing the recent "flavour" of liquid (melodic DnB with nice, mostly female vocals, see latest Subfocus album), or Crossbreed, very hard flavour od DnB, represented for example by Counterstrike.
srigi··on Chrome started enabling download manager icon
Since the last update of the Google Chrome, the downloads are not indicated via bottom panel anymore. Instead there is a small icon in the top-rigth toolbar. It reveals a list of downloads when clicked.
srigi··on Bitwarden Acquires Passwordless.dev
The idea of FIDO2 with HW tokens is great, but not practical if you don't own atleast 2 pieces: - one constantly inserted into main working machine - second somewhere with the keys, ready to be used on other devices

You should be having third one - backup token stored securely in the safe or vault. That is $150 investment just to do it right.

And then - not all webapps allow to register more that one FIDO2 device, which totally cancels the above best practises.

srigi··on Fresh – Next-gen web framework
Can you elaborate a little more, or navigate to some GH issue, where this is discussed, please?
srigi··on No Dislikes has officially ruined YouTube for me
My YT frontpage was getting progressively worse. What seems to help me was to "restart the Youtube" - deleting all "not interested" signals I accumulated over years. Also deleting all dislikes too.

Click History on left panel, on the new page that loads, click MANAGE ALL HISTORY on right panel. On the next page, delete dislikes and YouTube "Not interested" feedback.

After that my YT homepage got lot better.

srigi··on When hiring developers, have the candidate read existing code
Agree. I also add to this - name your constants by meaning, not value. Too many times I see

    const ONE_HOUR_IN_MS = 3600000
Instead I would like to see

    const RESEND_DELAY = 3600000
srigi··on Ask HN: Why do my online accounts keep getting banned?
This was my first instinctive reason to look for. If fraud is beeing reported across couple of services, something could be poisoning traffic comming out of the OP’s appartment, rendering his public IP ill.
srigi··on Fred's ImageMagick Scripts
No, it doesn't ;)
srigi··on What does it mean to listen on a port?
Exactly. After first sentence I immediatelly switched into "scan mode". I was'nt able to find the answer for the question in the title. I was even not able to identify a section where the answer could be burried in.
