theanonymousone··on Running Python code in a sandbox with MicroPython and WASM
P.S. I was casually searching for "sandboxed Python" for an experiment I'm working on, and reached this article that was published "today". Very nice coincidence! Thanks.
theanonymousone··on Learn SQL Once, Use It for 30 Years
I fully agree with the title (with reservation for "dialects"), and I believe the same can be said for JSON and Markdown, among possibly others.
theanonymousone··on Liquid AI reveals 8B-A1B MoE trained on 38T
Thanks a lot. How about Q8 vs FP16/BF16? Have you checked them too?
theanonymousone··on Liquid AI reveals 8B-A1B MoE trained on 38T
Have you seen the 8bit quantisation matter a lot? The "consensus" in r/LocalLlama is that up to 4 bits the loss is tolerable.
theanonymousone··on The mysterious Hy3 LLM is topping OpenRouter Model Rankings by a large margin
My question as well. Isn't Tencent a very well-known company? Maybe the mystery is in the model itself?
theanonymousone··on Theseus: Translating Win32 to WASM
This is a big deal when/if it's working, to me at least. Where can I contribute?
theanonymousone··on The just-say-no engineer was a ZIRP phenomenon
Isn't this link a duplicate? Or I have déjà vu?
theanonymousone··on Tell HN: First commit on Linux Kernel GitHub Page is from 30th of April 2005
Hi. Is there a significance to that date or that commit? The commit doesn't look very special, and Git was apparently being used from early April already: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git

Or I may be entirely wrong.

theanonymousone··on Investigating how prompt politeness affects LLM accuracy (2025)
> Is it worth getting worse results for that reason?

> accuracy ranging from 80.8% for Very Polite prompts to 84.8% for Very Rude prompts

I can live with that, for now at least.

theanonymousone··on Investigating how prompt politeness affects LLM accuracy (2025)
I have always said please and thank you to LLMs, not to increase accuracy or because I'm stupid. I believe it is more about me than about the LLM, and this is anyway a habit I don't want to lose.
theanonymousone··on DeepSeek reasonix, DeepSeek native coding agent with high caching and low cost
Yes, of course you can destroy it. But how far can you "improve", beyond decent "common sense" behaviour.
theanonymousone··on DeepSeek reasonix, DeepSeek native coding agent with high caching and low cost
Isn't caching a server-side thing? How does the agent affect it, significantly at least?
theanonymousone··on Microsoft open-sources “the earliest DOS source code discovered to date”
Is it not safe to assume Window source code is not present in the LLM training data?
theanonymousone··on Microsoft open-sources “the earliest DOS source code discovered to date”
I'm wondering whether ReactOS can exploit Claude et. al. to their fullest and "recreate" Windows 2000/95. I may donate some tokens for that cause.
theanonymousone··on Google's Antigravity Bait and Switch
A weird feeling tells me that this "keeping only in name" was done because someone at Google was cross with killedbygoogle.com.
theanonymousone··on Discovering Dennis Ritchie's Lost Dissertation (2020)
Is it not the same thing as/very similar to falsifiability in philosophy of science?
theanonymousone··on Nobel Prize-winning author Olga Tokarczuk admits to using AI
Interview in Polish: https://mycompanypolska.pl/artykul/olga-tokarczuk-zapowiada-...
theanonymousone··on Show HN: Files.md – Open-source alternative to Obsidian
Thank you for actually acquiring the .md domain corresponding to your software and avoiding some security holesof the future :)
theanonymousone··on Classic 7 is a Windows 10 LTSC mod to look 1:1 to Windows 7
Sorry for being (slightly?) off-topic: Is there a decent way to buy this LTSC edition of Windows?
theanonymousone··on Building a web server in aarch64 assembly to give my life (a lack of) meaning
Something funny has happened. I didn't submit this link today, as is shown in the front page. I submitted three days ago, before the original author (above submission) actually.
theanonymousone··on How do I deal with memory leaks? (2022)
Thanks. I modified the title.
theanonymousone··on I switched from Mac to a Lenovo Chromebook
A Mediatek chip rivalling Apple M2? Is this claim supportable?
theanonymousone··on .de TLD offline due to DNSSEC?
idealo.de, ebay.de, and spiegel.de are down, but amazon.de opens for me.
theanonymousone··on Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac
I have been using NotepadNext. Works fine.
theanonymousone··on DeepClaude – Claude Code agent loop with DeepSeek V4 Pro
Yes, from Claude Code themselves: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/llm-gateway
theanonymousone··on Why TUIs are back
TUIs are extremely more portable, and offer a more uniform UX across platforms.
theanonymousone··on Ask.com has closed
I'm wondering which AI lab will bid for the domain.
theanonymousone··on Article explains a method to estimate parameter count of closed sourcemodels
See section "Corrected model parameter estimates"
theanonymousone··on Show HN: WhatCable, a tiny menu bar app for inspecting USB-C cables
Yes, something like this. Thanks!
theanonymousone··on Show HN: WhatCable, a tiny menu bar app for inspecting USB-C cables
I would like to ask an LLM to rewrite it as Python CLI script. Is it even possible, or some Swift-only functionality is necessary?

P.S. Some time ago I learnt through HN of a one-line command in macOS which revealed the power (Wattage) of the connected charger. Can't find it now, but it was very useful.
