Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 16/09/2026If you write "WTF!!!!!!" with 6 exclamation marks, that costs 3 tokens in OpenAI: "W" + "TF" + "!!!!!!". If you add another one to get "WTF!!!!!!!", that's 4 tokens. But if you add yet another one, then "WTF!!!!!!!!" is back to only 3 tokens again! --- Thank you for coming to my TED talk. 1120

Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 12/09/2026Woot, finally. Another Chromium based browser with extension support before Chrome itself. 011
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 12/09/2026Ugh Claude became much much dumber in the last few days. Regular failure, new confident hallucinations, etc etc. 150
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 04/09/2026Not an American, but it was interesting to go through. A lot of eyebrow-raising "some people pronounce it like THAT??". 000
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 16/08/2026Went kayaking and caught dinner in the river with my bare hands. Ancestors would be proud. 070
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 13/08/2026Took me scrolling through a few images to realise this is Instagram's loading splash screen and not an actual picture of the eclipse. 0120
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 12/08/2026Who are all these people and how did they find out about my perfect spot? 😂 140
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 23/07/2026Oh hey they moved the church. Feels weird that these pictures I took 3 years apart are also 3 kilometres apart. 030
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 22/07/2026Had to check if it's real, and Gemini's obnoxious rule to respond to questions with more questions makes it even funnier. 0101
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 04/07/2026Ordering some dehydrated food from favourite Ukrainian brands for that taste of home during longer treks... and the promo pictures sure give me feels. 120
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 04/07/2026Just downloaded Snapshot, and this is perfect, exactly the read vs write view fix I had in mind. Thank you! 110
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 01/07/2026Someone who is good at Rust plz help, I set expect_fun_call = "allow" and I'm still not getting any fun calls :( 030
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 28/06/2026OH MY GOD WE FOUND WHO CLAUDE WAS TRAINED ON www.newyorker.com/culture/the-... 0180
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 27/06/2026Me: oh right, Pixel has a temperature sensor, let me check how hot is the bus seat. Pixel: 3570
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 26/06/2026I'm surprised how well the "point fan outside the window" trick works. Never tried it before, but hard to argue with hard data - you can see the exact moment I turned it around. 130
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 25/06/2026Yeah watching those graphs meeting the wrong way around is no fun. And that's with all the windows open. 010
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 23/06/2026On the same note, the solution doesn't look like the obvious way to do this either - it's replicating what `class` does, and classes can be optimised even further by the engine not to mention readability benefits. 150
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 22/06/2026Fuckers. "You know what would make heatwave better for our neighbours? Construction dust!" 030
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 21/06/2026Fun fact: new IKEA KAJPLATS smart bulbs are advertised as compatible only with Matter. However, folks found that they have a secret Zigbee compatibility mode that you can enter by, I kid you not, power-cycling the lamp 6 times to reset it and then power-cycling 12 times to enter Zigbee pairing. 68910
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 18/06/2026I get it - who doesn't have a different face at work - but why would I have different fingerprints for work?? 170
Ingvar Stepanyan @rreverser.com · 17/06/2026HKTs are so good. I love how easy it is to build complex data structures generic over either Rc vs Arc, or even over &T vs &mut T vs T nowadays. 060
