tensegrist··on Making a GTK application in Haskell, part 1
possibly enabled by lsp (Adw.foo -> "foo found in GI.Awd, import it with the name you used?")
tensegrist··on On building a worm detector

with that capitalization i had 200ms of my brain going "what part of the bible is that"

tensegrist··on How accurately calibrated is Jev?
this is related to, but not the same as, the question i had in the original thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49719097
tensegrist··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
noting that input:output:cached is 10:50:1 for astra and luna but 10:50:0.5 for sol. this doesn't mean a lot without "tokens per task" information but it's still interesting for there to be a "dip" like this instead of a monotonic change in one direction or the other

where's the flash model? it's out already isn't it
tensegrist··on A font that reads what you wrote
i thought the computation was within the font itself

like

which can be taken rather far

tensegrist··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
what is the…epistemic status, for lack of a better way to put it, of the probabilities? what do they mean? what (probabilistic) guarantees do we have about, say, the responses to

- is the capital of france paris?

- it is august. is it raining in paris?

(forgive the examples; they're probably not semantically the sort of thing jev is trained to work on. but i figure the point translates to various kinds of questions that come up in "inner loop of agentic pid controller" contexts)

a normal text-generating model if asked to produce a number will also do that just fine. i assume in jev's case it was actually rled to essentially learn to express priors over things using its implicit world model, which definitely ought to help, but can we say more?

tensegrist··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash
"i'm sorry, i left the task 半done"
tensegrist··on DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro

    In keeping with our commitment to user responsibility, following the official launch of V4.1 Flash and prior to the release of V4.1 Pro, all requests to the Pro model will be routed to V4.1 Flash and billed at Flash's price.
just in terms of user perception when selling this sort of service, this is what they call a "good look"
tensegrist··on End-to-end infrastructure for training and inferencing open weight models
say with "finite" before it. it's a thing
tensegrist··on End-to-end infrastructure for training and inferencing open weight models
how do you think "referencing" happened when "referring" was already around

or conference, difference, arbitrage…

tensegrist··on The VMs Powering Mobile Agents (Instinct, Claude Code)
this reminds me that i'm long overdue for a weekend spent studying firecracker, the userfaultfd trick [0], and whatever zeroboot does

tensegrist··on The VMs Powering Mobile Agents (Instinct, Claude Code)

    claude -p "${curl $url}\nreply only with a substantive comment in 'statement. question?' form" | dd conv=lcase
as a service

i wonder how hard it would be to write a decent classifier for individual comments like this (in practice you can just look at the account history which would make it an easy problem)

tensegrist··on Asahi Linux on M3
i wonder if this is not something that asahi could eventually make use of

tensegrist··on A Note from LWN
i'd been meaning to subscribe for…the better part of my life. just did, and if you're reading this and have the means you should too

better late than never, and especially good now that every single day most of us are reading so many words that don't mean anything

tensegrist··on I used Fable to rewrite 65kLoC of Go in Rust. It cost $400

tensegrist··on Microduck
…"j'te nique à la kalash"?
tensegrist··on We found a division by zero bug in FFmpeg with a vibecoded fuzzer
note that this seems to be a bug in what i expect (feel free to correct me) is a code path for a little-used codec

maybe we'll just see them remove support for these long-tail formats the way linux has been removing drivers for similar reasons https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Retiring-Moxa-Driver

tensegrist··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
france has "made in france" too
tensegrist··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
insofar as this gets people off macos/windows and onto linux, especially among younger people where macos has managed to hold on to the position of a default that developers are comfortable e.g. being the only platform they support, this is a good thing imo

the fact that it's largely hype-driven is par for the course for how things work these days

tensegrist··on The Art of 64-bit Assembly
i'm sorry, starting with "you can ask AI to … [but it'll do an incomplete and bad job]" and then launching forth into a hundred words of AI-produced text is not very appetizing

i hope this is the publisher's fault and the author replaces it with something decent of their own. contrary to the opinions i've heard around (including elsewhere on this thread) learning asm is still meaningful today and it's something i'd like to get better at so i will consider getting this book or one like it once $work is a bit less hectic
