I’ve been in TypesafeAI's beta for Jev, and I've written a browser extension for it that supports Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on both mobile and desktop. Here's a quick demo. I also have a blog post in the replies with my thoughts and general experience with Jev!

Came to mind how weird it is that we suddenly ask if things run doom again instead of crysis so I made this meme which is based on google trends plus a tiny bit of artistic touch to add waves.

Alexa is bugged in a way I can’t even come up with an explanation for. Like, I know time zones are hard and all, but this doesn’t even cross time zones.

So today is one of those "hardwire a weird PCI card's fan directly to your motherboard headers to control the fan speed" type of days.

It's quite neat that you can see when the 3D printer starts heating up, when it does the calibration, and when the actual printing happens, all using a power meter.

I noticed this thing with people (support or just day-to-day people you talk with) where if you ask two questions, they never ever answer both of them. And it's not queued either. Sometimes they answer the first one, sometimes the second one. Why does almost everyone do this?

The fact that nVidia makes 2x more revenue from networking (Mellanox) than from gaming (<10%) is kind of crazy.

I know it doesn't matter, but the fact that Xcode shows the phone colour in the menu bar is the cutest thing ever. We need more whimsical things like this in tech!

Somehow I just recently found out about @Open Collective . It lets you contribute to opensource tools you use in a very transparent fashion. It was really hard to pick only ten, but I think this is a good start for me! I wish @blender3d.bsky.social was on the list!

So I am debugging a weird networking issue that happens when I stream only Parsec or Sunshine, but not both at the same time. How's your weekend?

So Sonnet 4.5 is a downgrade when it comes to making buckets in Blender, even with the new screenshot viewer feature.

The iPhone 17 pro max sim slot is identical to the 15 pro max one, except the bottom bit is inverted. So you can’t interchange them, but you can plug one into the other 90% of the way.

Why are these sort of errors so common on Windows? I'm so glad I only use it for gaming.

So @vscode.dev has this new homepage. You can see in the background some binary, so I couldn't help but inspect the page, and yeah, the whole binary isn't repeated at random. It's all written in CSS. So I decoded it to ASCII, and it says: HAPPY_CODING!

So I found some shsh2 blobs I saved around seven years ago for my iPhone 7+ and using Turdus Merula I fully downgraded to iOS 12.1.4 and also jailbroke the phone. Memories are flooding me.

I asked 15 different LLMs from the cheapest to the most expensive one, at the same time, to guess a number between 1 and 50. 14/15 picked 27, and Opus picked 23...

Tried the prompt in "The Illusion of Thinking" in #o3pro. Only added "no tool use and return the whole result array" The result is 480 moves long, not 1023 as it says(and should be). It's also wrong along the way Don't listen to yt-ers saying the paper is false Try it yourself!

🌟 #AdventOfCode 2024 Completed! 🌟 Thrilled to achieve 50 stars again! Used #Kotlin to align with my work, making the puzzles even more enjoyable. Loved the Dijkstra challenges, though I missed the cellular automata puzzles. Thank you for all the work @ericwastl.bsky.social and the team!
