Akamai bot detection treating Linux firefox as a bot every other month is getting really old.

That'll do it. aint go agent getting into my infra any time soon! Would like to see GPT-6 try to get past this...
Pretty worried about where the world is headed and not in a way I know how to verbalize. :c
moved into new rental. they're in the walls. they're in the walls. they're in the walls. moved out. that sucked.
People talk about how the new money doesn't sponsor art enough. Wait until 2085 when SFMOMA will have a "fursuits of the 2010s" collection
many people deciding datacenters are ontologically evil in the past year or so is irritating

Steering vectors can work as activation oracles! Inspired by @isolyth.dev 's recent work on instruct vectors, I've ported the same approach to create Activation Oracles. Seems to work surprisingly well given the param deficit, nearly matching Activation Oracle LoRA performance.

alex williams@atwilliams.bsky.social · 4mo agoits kinda funny how similar microchips and oil refineries look, in a certain way,
non-square microscaling float formats were a mistake and should never have been made.
Anyone have a favorite model of burnout, executive function, akrasia, exhaustion, inertia, spoons, mana etc. that treats activation energy as a minimal energy level without treating it as spent, or otherwise doesn't use a global energy meter? n=1 anecdotes fine!
oh dear, you've imported some of the horrors of GPU shared memory/LDS swizzling to CPU land.
LaurieWired@lauriewired.bsky.social · 4mo agoBy implementing a hedged read strategy taking advantage of (undocumented!) channel scrambling offsets, I've gotten as much as 15x reductions in tail latency. Works across Intel, AMD, Graviton, DDR4, DDR5, x86, ARM, you name it. Check out the C++ lib I wrote, watch the video, and try it yourself!
my shader export compression is mightily broken and the effect is eerily reminiscent of trying to make out details in a night sky obscured by light pollution, except the sky now has intermittent complex transforms darting across its surface
The OLMo fully open foundation models are probably not going to get new revisions. Pretty sad as they were one of the few true open source options - mostly 'open weights' models don't share training recipes or data and are more like freeware.
swe confession: i keep trying to learn jj but always end up back in my idiosyncratic perma detached head git workflow
