zeld4··on Heretic: Automatic censorship removal for language models
curious to see your result/spec/time
zeld4··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
I'm on the fence for SM bc of 8GB GPU RAM, but I just enjoy the tsunami of chinese followups after it, so guess I just have to buy one SM to make the wave work.
zeld4··on I don’t need a Steam Machine
reading the comments on HN, guess most did not really read to the end. lol
zeld4··on Heretic: Automatic censorship removal for language models
with open sourced models getting more popular (and how ideology fixation is growing in both US and China), this type of work is very much appreciated.

is there some benchmark?

zeld4··on Steam Machine
8GB vram in 2026?!
zeld4··on Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control
azure seems quite shitty too. I only use it for having GPT models which is a corp requirement. For 1 hour total I spent on azure.com in past weeks, besides how slow it usually is, I ran into two issues:

- models sometimes got deployed to an unwanted instance, likely because some API is slow and front end state was not well maintained, so user clicking Next too soon will end up screw up the data being submitted

- one of the models (5-mini) deployment took very long and failed, it apparently ended up in a bad and invisible state, and future models can't be deployed any more on that instance. I retried today, same thing, gave up and created a new instance/

Azure AI is supposed to be an area MS making all the bets which I assume should have high quality, but apart from frequent update, it's same low quality as MS Teams.

zeld4··on Apple is crossing a Steve Jobs red line
Everything breaks.

Jobs, if lived, will bow to ads or get fired.

zeld4··on Run interactive commands in Gemini CLI
i gave up on gemini cli.

1 in 3 times I used it in past 2 months, it failed for really odd reasons, sometimes the node app just exception quit, sometimes gemini stuck and blame itself and gave up. same task I throw to cc and codex, they nailed without a blink...

zeld4··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
in this particular case maybe. but i don't think he's pardoning only crypto people. as long as criminals can offer sth useful to him, they will get above the law.
zeld4··on Ask HN: Has the Gaza war affected the HN crowd?
same, the genocide does not impact me directly in any material sense, but it changes how I see the world and human beings fundamentally.
zeld4··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
You basically have to choose from

- Zed: VC funded open source

- Sublime Text: indie closed source

None is ideal, but I guess we all know why.

zeld4··on Claude Code: Now in Beta in Zed
the integration is nice, but has some rough edges, I ran into situations that things becomes hard to stop
zeld4··on Token growth indicates future AI spend per dev
give me $50k raise and I need only $10k/yr.

seriously, I don't see the AI outcome worth that much yet.

On the current level of ai tools, the attention you need to manage 10+ async tasks are over limit for most human.

In 10 years maybe, but $100k probably worths much less by then.

zeld4··on Open AI announces $1.5M bonus for every employee
> Even if it’s a bubble, sharing some of it with employees “before it bursts” is a noble action.

the bar for being noble is just low. or maybe I should interpret noble has the noble class in the history, that actually describes it well.

I read a few biographies for western missionaries to Asia, they all ended up get paid handsomely, except those not lived long enough see that day.
zeld4··on Open AI announces $1.5M bonus for every employee
If anybody in OpenAI ever had any second thought about taking other people's property without consent, that doubt should go away now with $1.5M in pocket.
zeld4··on Providing ChatGPT to the U.S. federal workforce
this is excellent business approach. best way to get away with stealing is to make everyone thief.
zeld4··on Open models by OpenAI
Knowledge cutoff: 2024-06

not a big deal, but still...

zeld4··on Offline.kids – Screen-free activities for kids
it should be a printable book.
zeld4··on Perplexity is using stealth, undeclared crawlers to evade no-crawl directives
Internet was built on trust, but not anymore. It's a Darwinian system; everyone has to find their own way to survive.

Cloudflare will help their publisher to block more aggresively, and AI companies will up their game too. Harvest information online is hard labor that needs to be paid for, either to AI, or to human.

zeld4··on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steams new censorship rules
Cryptocurrency is on the way being managed by govt. So it's correct to say cryptocurrency did not fail, but certainly the original libertarian vision behind it is dead.
zeld4··on We benchmarked Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac M1 to M4 – the numbers don't lie
I played Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in 2023 on a mac M1 Pro when it came out, it's fairly playable already. Glad to see it's finally official, and honestly there should be more day 1 mac support.
zeld4··on Huawei releases an open weight model trained on Huawei Ascend GPUs
The silicon valley should thank Huawei and Deepseek, as the only two reasons AI exists as an industry in US are (a) reduce labor cost (b) win over China.

(a) alone sounds super negative to ordinary people, but with (b), justified by the existence and achievement of Huawei & Deepseek, the AI cause now sounds a legit jihad silicon valley is carrying.

zeld4··on Huawei releases an open weight model trained on Huawei Ascend GPUs
I'm struggling to see which is worse, using AI to police their own people, or using AI to genocide in Middle East.
