tmaly··on Why is GPT-5.4 obsessed with Goblins?
I am waiting for future versions to start compressing with memes
tmaly··on Ask HN: How are people doing AI evals these days?
I was thinking about something similar the other day. I have seen a repeating pattern of people complaining that a new model comes out, it's amazing for a few weeks, then they nerf it.

Most of these claims are subjective. I was thinking if we had a standardized chain of though representation, and if we could capture each models chain of thought into this standardized format, we could compare these for the same tasks we run.

tmaly··on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes
There are some cases where AI is generating binary machine code, albeit small amounts. What do we have when we don't have the code?

I have written stuff in Prolog, but I find this lambda Prolog syntax very difficult to grok.
tmaly··on Study shows two child household must earn $400k/year to afford childcare
If you cleaned up all the wasteful spending in the US, the government could make childcare affordable.
tmaly··on FreeCAD
It would be interesting if FreeCAD could iterate towards something that is also easy for agents to use. I have seen cases of people doing this with Blender.
tmaly··on Mystery donor gives Japanese city $3.6M in gold bars to fix water system
There is a great book on this topic. My in-laws gave me a sword that supposedly had a map to one the gold locations. But today it is quite a bit of myth. I do believe the explorer did find a gold statue as there were pictures. But the rest of the claims of gold I am skeptical about.

Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson does a good fictional take on it.

tmaly··on Nvidia and OpenAI abandon unfinished $100B deal in favour of $30B investment

I thought the source code for the actual CLI was closed source. How are you patching it?
tmaly··on NanoClaw solves one of OpenClaw's biggest security issues
Aside from the security differences, what can OpenClaw do that NanoClaw cannot?
tmaly··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2026)
I think your post here is a good start. Sharing it in small bits rather than one big book is a better approach in my opinion.
tmaly··on Bitchat – decentralized peer-to-peer messaging
I could never find anyone else on Bitchat, it was just me when I opened it. If anything Telegram is a better replacement for Discord, you don't have the file size limitations and a push to sell you Nitro.
tmaly··on White House launches direct-to-consumer drug site TrumpRx
Is this like Trump University?
tmaly··on Ask HN: Do you still use physical calculators?
