What do you mean by "real human functions?"

LeetCode Medium. :)

And then there's Apple, selling new MacBooks with 8GB RAM (e.g., the neo)

The data, from up to 1.4TB/day raw compressed, is planned to be fully open, every observation is public as soon as it is processed with no embargo. You can just download it and start looking for Rama or Oumuamua or plan your exoplanetary real estate empire or make it a really big sandbox game. I at least want somebody to make me a cool screen saver.

When I was younger, my friends and I joked about making a "Disk Fragmenter" which would enumerate through every file on the disk and split them into non-contiguous clusters to make sure that the actuator arm on your platter-drive gets a PROPER WORKOUT TO FEEL THE BURN.

FAT32 allocates the first free block. IIRC, file order must match disk order because reasons. Ext2 prioritized allocating the middle of free space to allow fragment-free growth on both sides and it became a standard filesystem feature after that.

Does this mean we might finally get a phone with 3.5mm jack, microSD slot and GrapheneOS support? I believe I've been asking for that for 10 years now.

bill gates, I want my time back!

I looked a bit into the author. His friend unfortunately died at Burning Man in 1996, as did two other people. Since then, he left and has been an advocate for shutting down Burning Man. They fought over the name for 10 years after that.

Google Messages also does that, though it seems to be some opt-in setting for the sender, probably related to RCS?

I think you're arguing the same general point that the person you're responding to is. But you're saying he's not understanding - he understands that they report a cache hit % but you can't look at that public metric with any level of accuracy _because_ most people aren't pinning their providers and they _are_ getting juggled around which is bringing that metric down. That's not to say that specific providers might have issues or worse cache implementations - but it stands that if openrouter is juggling the requests back and forth by default then _that alone_ is breaking caches on those requests in huge numbers.

What a thread.

Maybe there is hope for the internet?


A lot of people willingly get into scams because they think they're entering a position to be "in on it." Lots of ponzi scheme victims are like this. They know it's a ponzi schene and they know how ponzis work, but they think they'll be one of the people who cashes out before it ends. The breaking point is when the wrong person tries to cash out and they realize it already ended a while ago.

I've been using SMS Backup & Restore (from SyncTech) for years - it reads full history out of Google Messages any time I've used it.

On the other hand, because you've run business A, doesn't mean you have a clue how business B is actually working. I've seen that one more than a few times too.

Sometimes the plane is going to crash and the best you can do is a soft landing.


A permission kernel for agents seems like the right abstraction. Natural-language guardrails are useful as instructions, but consequential authority needs to be enforced outside the model.

I don't think it's that limited of a case.

Regional burns are a thing, and they're pretty awesome.

> guess that in your version of Star Trek the Desi characters would be showing up hours late to dinner. You’d have bridge scenes where face saving communications and excessive deference to seniority impedes information flow and gets everyone killed.

I need you to both explain what this is all about and workshop up a treatment we can take to ONAN or something to start their sci fi division.

How would someone show up late to dinner on a spaceship?

Why is it people who tell me about a post-racial society always make it sound like they mean “post me erasing the Others”?


Be prepared to move elsewhere if they attempt to raise the price. Create an artifact like a spreadsheet to model whether moving is worthwhile (considering the time and effort required to migrate) if asking for a concession on a price increase is unsuccessful. Also, use price/cost intelligence vendors to understand what others are paying for the SaaS when possible for negotiation purposes. Treat your vendors like they are commodities whenever possible to defend against vendor lock in risk. Long term contracts (~3 years) with increases tied to inflation are also a potential option if your vendor offers it.

I need to set up a Windows 95 computer with a hard drive and stream the defragging online, complete with live audio.

Open Weights is where the action is at in the past couple months, I’d have to think the US frontier labs are getting nervous. Like Anthropic hasn’t released anything pushing the frontier since “the event” earlier this summer.

> Anyone who values Graphene's work will purchase one of their Motorola devices, whatever the cost

Well the current Motorola Signature (2026) is 3 times the price of a Pixel. Not everyone can afford "whatever the cost".

I hope Motorola will just get more and more phones to support GrapheneOS.


As the author says himself, he hasn’t attended in 30 years. I understand some of the things he’s complaining about, but I don’t think that is the dominant experience of being there.

Yes, but (if I understand correctly) it would allow you to use your same X window manager (transparently under Xwayland) and run the odd Wayland application when needed.

> OpenRouter randomizes which provider gets your request by default right?

I'm not sure it's wholey accurate to say they "randomize" the provider, rather my assumption based on usage is that it's something like cheapest-ish/responded to the request within some reasonable-ish time/etc algorithm that chooses the provider on each request - which seems, remarkably questionable in terms of optimizing for user experience or hidden user costs.

> This behavior makes it so you don't benefit much from the caching, unless you pin it to a single provider.

I so very much recommend this approach. My avenues that automate llm calls to openrouter are setup to make api reqs to openrouter to determine best price/response/etc and then pin the request to that (and, preferably, a fallback if there's reasonable difference between #1 and #2) provider for that session. Otherwise you're going to have a bad time.

I'd imagine this could make things interesting in cases where one provider is offering different quants than the others and openrouter is just swapping you back and forth on a long agentic session.


What, you don't need the data any more? Or are you conflating screen degaussing?

I also get an error:

    Requested allocation size (41967616) is smaller than the image requires (42778624).
    at ImportMemory (../../third_party/dawn/src/dawn/native/vulkan/external_memory/MemoryServiceImplementationOpaqueFD.cpp:132)
using Chromium on an old video card GTX 1070 with 32GB RAM, Fedora 44 KDE Plasma 4.7. Don't know if it matters but monitor scaling is set to 150%

I always figured that was part of the joke, because a writer came up with it, and a writer would know (I assume?).

I haven’t! It seems akin to ACP, is that accurate? Do you recommend it?
