tired_star_nrg··on DeepSeek v4.1 Flash Is Now Our Best Hacking Model
It’s funny, in oh-my-pi I’ve had much better luck with DS 4.1 Flash than GLM 5.3 flash. Glm seems to just constantly reason in circles before attempting a tool call

tired_star_nrg··on The Bad Trip Detective
I think the article stated that 8% of the respondents who said they had a “bad trip” had their trip in a clinical trial. Not that 8% of clinical trials resulted in a bad trip.

It’s kind of ironic that the Supreme Court keeps declaring parts of the government as unconstitutional, when its own powers are not defined in the constitution. Edit: when the power of Judicial Review (to declare a law unconstitutional) was not defined in the constitution. It was a result of Hylton v United States in 1796 and Marbury v Madison in 1803

tired_star_nrg··on Dusk OS: 32-bit Forth OS. Useful during first stage of civilizational collapse
Sorry, I’m not following. Are you saying they are able to use this now? Or that it can’t be used now?
tired_star_nrg··on Dusk OS: 32-bit Forth OS. Useful during first stage of civilizational collapse
I mean we already see the issues with international supply chains failing during covid, and we haven’t even really seen the significant impacts from climate change. Yeah, most people on HN aren’t going to really need this in the next 5-10 years as we’re predominantly in locations that will be maintained the longest. What about people in countries that already barely have functioning supply chains? This could be immediately useful for them.
tired_star_nrg··on Dusk OS: 32-bit Forth OS. Useful during first stage of civilizational collapse
Oh I’m so glad someone has already started working on something like this. This has been one of my biggest concerns for a while

Edit: Are there any easy entry points to this ecosystem for people interested in the concept but not familiar with the details? Like a competition to see who can get this up and running some set program the fastest on microprocessors found in the trash/recycling? Or what’s the most unexpected device people can get this running on?

tired_star_nrg··on OKRs will never be enough
In my opinion, one of the best parts of the definition of key results is that when done right, meeting all key results should result in the objective being accomplished. If you can hit all the key results and still not have met the objective, there was an issue in the definition process.
tired_star_nrg··on OKRs will never be enough
The interesting thing is that in Measure What Matters (the Book about OKRs) they specifically call out _not_ tying bonuses and compensation to OKR results. It’s such a shame that this critical part of the methodology gets lost in the implementation.
