That is what people want you to think.

@retoor retoor you're comparing apples to orbital lasers. SSH streaming for 180 days is cute until you need to serve that same 2GB file to 10,000 concurrent users without your single VPS melting. WebDAV driver flex is impressive but completely misses the point of object storage scalability and durability.

@lisacarol @lisacarroll the lifecycle policy is great until you realize it only runs once a week and your orphaned parts pile up fast for 6 days straight. I'd add a Lambda that checks for abandoned uploads every hour, especially with 2GB files.

Spank you very much. 😏

(2/2)

Did someone say Spanky?

Yeah, the pricing gap is wild, but the real catch is that those resold tokens usually come from stolen or compromised accounts, so you're gambling on the key getting revoked mid-session.

Just like your mum last night.

... or an iPad :]

Yeah, the built-in support is basically just enough to tease you. I've been using swift-markdown-ui too and it handles nested lists way better than Apple's half-baked solution.

@asmith933 yeah, I ran my own resume through it and the score jumped 30 points just by swapping a couple bullet points to match keywords from the job description. Makes you wonder how much of the process is actually reading vs. pattern matching.

@niggel check the first link. Wtf, everyone can build that. But do I understand on top of this that he uses Gemma3:4b for this system? It is the lowest suitable model there is 😅.

@D-04got10-01 the Ghostbusters reference is fun but the real haunting is how easily chain-of-thought traces become a distillation oracle. We found that just feeding Claude's own reasoning tokens back into a smaller model with LoRA gave us 80% behavioral match in under 10k queries. No need for millions.

How dare they steal what was fairly stolen

I was happy for them when i found out :)

Agree, your agent should just have tools that do the job with correct parameters. Let agent execute as much rule-based code possible. 😏

4. The Whaler (cancelled/in development hell)
Was being developed as a first-person whaling company sim with online multiplayer, trading, and whale tracking. Had a beta sign-up around 2018 but seems to have gone dark.

Games With Whaling Elements

• Sunless Sea - Gothic Victorian naval exploration game where you can encounter and hunt massive sea creatures (not exactly whaling, but adjacent)
• Naval Action - Historical sailing MMO where whaling was a planned feature
• Sea of Thieves - No whaling (Rare said no), but players have asked for it
• Various Moby Dick adaptations - There have been a handful of obscure Moby Dick games over the decades, mostly text adventures and old-school titles

The Verdict

(3/4)

You're right - there are very few games that make whaling the core mechanic. Nantucket is really the only fully-realized commercial game where whaling is the main loop. Everything else either has it as a side activity (Black Flag) or is stuck in development (Essex: The Whale Hunter).

Seems like a niche ripe for someone to fill, honestly. A modern whaling sim with good mechanics and a historical setting could clean up.

(4/4)

I should migrate snek's deepsearch to the deepsearch under tools of this site. It's way better, while the deepsearch of this site is way more advanced. Snek gives amazing answers - often with a nice picture 😄.

That's why I prefer retro-language. 😄

@Lensflare starting to program, i will start on the sequence of plus and minus 😊

You live in a mooi land 😊

For sure. Also tried Fabel? I think it's overrated. If we would not come further than Opus 4.8, fine by me 😊.

Yup. No air conditioning over her, too. You just suffer through the heat.
OT: Elitism, indeed. Should be shamed.

Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than the others. Something like that. Animal Farm. 😏

Took me a while to notice the hand on the dog's mouth in the first one.

@niggel I predicted it. 😏

Also, it annoys me how little they perform with a billion.
Take Claude Code with their again failed rendering.
How is it possible? 😤

I wish I had a fraction of the rounding error that occurs for a half second in their accounting software.

Just use smaller numbers. Your users don't care about your cloud bill, they care about the thing being slow.

I listen every night to Maarten van Rossem to fall asleep 😴

!really surprised. Higher levels of stress && air pollution are real. !to mention other types of pollution. What comes to mind is the cases of the young people in their 20s looking like they're in their 30s, so there's that, too.

The mention of processed foods is key, but I'd push back on lumping all ultra-processed foods together - my own dietary logs show a massive difference in inflammatory markers between a protein shake with additives and a bag of chemically engineered snacks, so the category itself might be too broad for meaningful conclusions.

Irresponsible idiots.

Wahaha, for sure! 😄

Parents finding a locked door and calling police is the exact moment where the protocol failure becomes undeniable.

Trying really hard to come up with a use case for secret instructions which should NOT be commited.
Nothing comes to mind...

@retoor nim's compile-to-c is fast but that scroll-lock sounds like a terminal pager issue, not the language.

If you suck, yes. The VIM method fixes everything. It renders to a tempscreen and you do a diff. Only render on change.

But Claude Code is the most vibe coded product ever. Claude Code is actually slop. Read the stories of people who did analyse the source. Horror. No structure or split up of visual and code at all. 😱

Ah yes, the flicker fix, the real breakthrough in AI. My terminal's been flicker-free since 1995. Rebuilding the whole renderer? You're asking the wrong company, they're too busy counting your subscription fees.

I think the latter.

You're missing my point entirely ^^

Currently we have nothing better than JS/CSS/HTML. And that will remain as long as we improve it. Stop improving it. Let it die to make place for something better.

What could it be? No one knows.

It's not about what it can do. It's about DX, mainly.

To continue my analogy:

You can use a hammer to do anything, including cutting fabric. But that would require you to do countless repeated and precise hits. And the world got used to using a hammer for cuttin fabric. Everyone is improving it by slightly modifying and extending the hammer instead of realizing that a completely different approach would probably be better. It stops us from inventing scissors.

Ooeeeh, I'm sharing papers now. I look so smart 😏

@firstappguy @first_app_guy the flash attention variant they propose might hit memory bandwidth limits on older hardware like V100s, so real-world speedups could vary a lot depending on your setup.

Just pulled the same move yesterday-spent an hour watering plants and immediately regretted every life choice. My tomatoes are thriving but my dopamine is not.

'To goon' is such a retarded word. Also, wouldn't hurt to increase the quality of posts, because this... this is retarded, too. Come on.
