xvfLJfx9··on Kolibri: A Sovereign Open-Weight Model
Are there plans to make much larger versions of this model? With 500B-1T params for general purpose knowledge tasks, similar to the current leading proprietary models?
xvfLJfx9··on Fixing a bricked Framework laptop
Regular updates are not always because of bugs but to support new hardware. Or security fixes.
xvfLJfx9··on LLMs reward expertise
That sounds useful. Can you share that skill?
xvfLJfx9··on StarFighter 16-Inch
Framework plans to eventually support coreboot, as far as I am aware. (Or open source the current one they purchased). It just wasn't the main priority. They focused on making a repairable laptops ecosystem first. Switching to different firmware later isn't ruled out.
xvfLJfx9··on Keep Android Open
I mean, this strongly has to depend on what kind of software you are developing. I don't know a single developer who primarily uses Windows. Literally everyone around me uses Linux for development work (and a large portion of them also use Linux for their personal machines).
xvfLJfx9··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
Oil is how Russia funds their war-machine. Bombing refineries makes it harder and less sustainable to keep the war going. It's not about making civilians suffer when you literally need to pressure the enemy into stopping the war by blowing up their infrastructure.
xvfLJfx9··on EU court rules nuclear energy is clean energy
This statement is very uninformed. Other sources are intermittent, nuclear energy is not. The problem about many countries not being able to produce fuel rods themselves is true, but the exact same applies to other energy sources. Most nations depend on very few other nations for imports of oil gas etc.

Nuclear power plants only have a high upfront cost, which is compensated by their long lifetime of 60-100 years. Other energy sources also have high upfront production costs + you need to spend additional money on infrastructure for batteries/storage.

I also don't understand your argument on military targets. A NPP is a target the sane way a solar park, wind-park, geothermal facility or whatever would be a target. And to add to that, wile they are of course not indestrctible they are extremely robustly built. You can literally fly an airplane into them and it wouldnt result in a meltdown.. I do agree on your point on decentralization, yes.

xvfLJfx9··on GrapheneOS and forensic extraction of data (2024)
Yes. LineageOS is an insecure mess.
xvfLJfx9··on Pixel 10 Phones
You are also rocking a bunch of security vulnerabilities then, because this thing is EOL for a long time.
xvfLJfx9··on Claude Code IDE integration for Emacs
I hope one day we can have the same thing for the helix editor.
xvfLJfx9··on A low power 1U Raspberry Pi cluster server for inexpensive colocation
I'd recommend just getting a piblade and mounting them...
xvfLJfx9··on Google restricts Android sideloading
You need secure hardware to have secure software.
xvfLJfx9··on Show HN: Air Lab – A portable and open air quality measuring device
I wish it would have support for Zigbee so I can pair it with other open data aggregation systems like Home Assistant. AirGradient, another cool air quality monitor, for example, does not have this.
xvfLJfx9··on Quarkdown: A modern Markdown-based typesetting system
Interesting, but I wonder what does this offer that typst doesn't?
xvfLJfx9··on Finland is painting deer antlers with reflective paint (2014)
Looks like the Regal Ancestor Spirit from Elden Ring, lol.
xvfLJfx9··on Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs
It shouldn't affect European customers. After all, framework is based in Taiwan and there are no tariffs for european customers in that scenario.
xvfLJfx9··on Show HN: ExpenseOwl – Simple, self-hosted expense tracker
The UI looks nice, but feature wise, I think I would rather go with Firefly III. It is a lot more complete.
xvfLJfx9··on We're bringing Pebble back
Looks very interesting to me. There are a couple of features that are especially important to me.

- Good accuracy sleep tracking

- GPS ( I know this uses up a lot of battery but could be off by default)

- Self-hostable servers. (I'm a very privacy conscious person, and also I don't want to be bound to an ecosystem that might disappear one day)

I'm gonna keep an eye on this project. It really looks very interesting. I hope it gets far.

xvfLJfx9··on Ask HN: Which RSS reader do you use?
Self-hosted FreshRSS. Simple and reliable. It just works.
xvfLJfx9··on Great things about Rust that aren't just performance
For me it is the excellent tooling. Great package management, good compiler errors, automatic formatting and enforcing if guidelines etc.
xvfLJfx9··on NeuralSVG: An Implicit Representation for Text-to-Vector Generation
Claide doesn't work at all for me when generating SVGs
xvfLJfx9··on For four years, I photographed, indexed and classified my entire house
Cool. But... why?
xvfLJfx9··on "Nvidia is so far ahead that all the 4090s are nerfed to half speed"
You can't lol. How do you wanna restore a blown fuse on nanometer level INSIDE the GPU die. Its simply not possible.

By the way, AMD also uses fuse blowing if you e.g. overclock some of their CPUs to mark them as warranty voided. They give you a warning in the BIOS and if you resume a fuse inside the CPU gets blown that will permanently indicate that the CPU has been used for overclocking (and thus remove the warranty)

xvfLJfx9··on I built an online PDF management platform using open-source software
This would be awesome, if it can be selfhosted. I work with sensitive documents I can't upload to a third party.
xvfLJfx9··on Equinox.space
Very cool! I hope you expand on this, maybe by introducing some sort of alient threat that is aboard the ship? Great demo, I enjoyed it!
xvfLJfx9··on AirGradient Air Quality Monitor Pro Kit Review
I still think it would be so much better if they have a version that uses ZigBee for data exchange. Lower battery usage, and no need to worry that someone gets your WiFi password when they steal the device.
xvfLJfx9··on Open Source Outdoor Air Quality Monitor
If the device worked with ZigBee, I would get it immediately. However, it seems to support only WiFi, which means if someone gains physical access to the AirQuality monitor (which isn't exactly difficult since it is placed outside), they can potentially extract the WiFi password and gain full access to my network.
xvfLJfx9··on MSI firmware signing keys leaked
Can't you enroll your own keys?
