I made base-1353 encoding, so I can fit 256-bit values, like “96cca2a0c8a3263c74ef36274abf55f410d992034d16e8285811a9ad3fc59c13”, into short 26 character strings, like “ᓒᔳᣏዧᐎᑙᖜዌᙔᐸƫȶƃᒨዊጶᙵኻѫyፐᎉᑫᖫᘪᒩ”. (Also, I think these sigils are beautiful.) johnservil.github.io/sigil/play.h...

Huh, this might not be entirely wrong

Another hand/finger tracking experiment, this time using the built-in monochrome cameras on the Steam Frame! Everything runs on-device, including the recording of the video itself! 🥳 #SteamOS #Linux #SteamFrame #VR #SteamFun

I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. Bandcamp Fridays is now very, very good. You don't know yet because all Bandcamp Friday bangers circulating today is from 2-3 sales ago. Bandcamp Fridays et al has solved infinite bangers.

I'll do the best... Boris Mann?1!?

the future could be magnificent, and you deserve a share of it

Doll@dollspace.gay

A left that could say “the future could be magnificent, and you deserve a share of it” was offering something people could want. Losing that voice to endless fights over whether wanting the future was itself morally suspect was a hell of a loss.

I love it when things are just fast and simple, why over-complicate things? Self-hosted #forgejo is just cherry on the top

I'm excited to announce that the PLC Organization now has a statute! And a bank account! And a @standard.site publication! All the important stuff. The PLC Org is an independent Swiss Association meant to operate the PLC directory, which collects and distributes signed updates to atproto accounts.

Ah fuck, it's another triangle, isn't it? It's always a triangle somehow, and "chose two *huew huewh huweh*"

At this point, ai coding is two things: the pure engineering side of the craft, and workflows around managing the agent once the project gets large enough that it gets confused. Half the job is stopping it from the equivalent of three cue reading.

I found no native Steam Frame applications for local playback standalone on the device itself, so I made it myself! :) Native ARM64 binary with Iris hardware decoding, GPU rendering and OpenXR running directly on the headset standalone, all hardware accelerated! \o/ #SteamOS #Linux #SteamFrame

Almost embarrassed to say this but, I just got the Steam Frame and one of the first things I felt like I had to do once inside the desktop environment, was to get Codex installed and get dictation going...

Very quick and dirty Jev test for hiring bias. One resume for a Wall Street job; asked whether the applicant should get a first-round interview. 76 evaluations, changing only the first name. 19 of each: White-associated men/women, Black-associated men/women. console.typesafe.ai/playground?s...

Somehow Jev has not yet triggered much discussion of cheap, low-latency, general-purpose classification as infrastructure for targeted oppression.

An AI-Powered feature is one thing but I draw the line at France 🙅

Firefox@firefox.com

We believe an open web starts with choice. That includes AI models. We’re excited to be partnering with Mistral to bring open-source AI to Firefox Smart Window beta and expand access to France, with French-language support.

Spent a day or two with Sol Max attempting to recover the files from Btrfs, seems 64/68 files are restorable! All may not be lost yet.

Was building a harness for Qwen3.8-27B by using Qwen3.8-27B locally, to see how useful it is for real work. I was keeping all the session logs produced by this harness, so I could share it once done. The model just deleted all the session files via typo, so yeah, not so ready for real work yet...

Alright, the Codex Micro just arrived! Now lets see how I can use this not with Codex but with my own harness, and hopefully also forcefully add a microphone to this device :D

It seems like #OpenAI is planning to encrypt all the prompts that #codex uses on disk, we can already not see whatever the main agent sends subagents as it's encrypted, and they're sending ciphertexts to the endpoints for inference?! What in the world?! Why would you do this? We need introspection!

It really is! Just achieved ~400 tok/s in single prompt text-generation! Text-only still, but still :) #DiffusionGemma feels like it has a really good foundation for local AI. Loading a 50GB model into VRAM + 1024 tokens inference in under 8 seconds in total, I think this changes everything :)

DiffusionGemma is something else, getting +200 tok/s in my Rust implementation without even having a look at the performance, and the model is relatively clever for its size. GPU utilization is so much better than pretty much every other local model available.

Man, all GPT models ran via the ChatGPT subscription feels a lot dumber for the last 3-5 days, feels like they're about to release a new model

Using #Firefox and #1Password and suddenly see an emoji picker where you should see your usernames? Seems Firefox version 150 added a new shortcut that overrides 1Password's shortcut, here's how to disable it so you can use 1Password properly again: emsh.cat/en/how-to-di...

Got myself a Mac Mini so I could do CI builds of macOS apps at home. First time I left it and came back later, monitor received *something* but screen was black. Bit of troubleshooting later, turns out I hit my first macOS bug, I have barely used it! I have a feeling I'm in for a lot of fun...

Ok, cool, so people tell me to report it via "Feedback Assistant", open up the app, enter my email and the login UX flow doesn't even automatically move the fucking focus to the password field... This has to be a fucking joke, very different experience compared to 10 years ago when shit just worked

#reddit mobile app seemingly got rid of "All" and you cannot even manually go to r/all... I guess it was about when, not if, and now I've finally uninstalled reddit and will stop using it, as they clearly want less users.

How would people feel about an open source/open data alternative to myheritage/ancestry and similar family tree services? So annoying they're inaccessible unless you register, shouldn't knowledge about past people be open?
