Good read, aside from all the LLM-isms in the writing.

it's like a variation of the principle of "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it"

a solipsistic viewpoint I suppose.

Deepseek v4 flash only costs about $0.13 by the time I hit 200,000 to 250,000 tokens.

some of my favorite forum communities heavily rely on acronyms. but they also have a maintained gossary that introduces all the community/industry-specific acronyms. Acronyms help boost the density of the information conveyed

also there doesn't even need to be a model involved, agentic code harnesses with remote "instructions for the local computer" are technically backdoored by default.

probably depends a lot on the temperature setting, lower it is, the more similar the quality perhaps. the higher it is the more variance.

For agentic workflows like tool use, editing codebases, multi-turn debugging?

I think there's a bit of a caveat there, because that basically means eating reasonably high calorie food in sufficient quantities that starts violating the "healthy food" definition.

I think you meant 80k not 800k, $0.12 * 80,000 = $9,600

I wonder if we couldn't just use LLMs to completely reverse engineer a QNX 4.25 demo image into usable source code. Possibly translate it directly into rust code.

Bun had it easier in many ways, given that they're based on a well-documented public API surface & have the node.js test suite etc.

In the case of QNX I'm guessing it might help to find a way to intercept the message passing of running QNX instances in order to use it as a test harness while reverse engineering all the components.

I HATE how modern & locked down the web is now, feels like we need to fork the internet. I want an internet that doesn't assume you're always online. I want an internet that is accessible and useful even even if you only connected a few times a day, or especially even if you were on a spacecraft a light-hour away.

I always get up with the light so I think 4am would be too unreasonable. Especially if most cafes remain closed for hours still. 5am is tolerable.

As for winter, an extra hour of dark doesn't feel like a huge deal. When I commuted in the winter it was often happening around 6am while still dark anyways.

I have a feeling people's morning habits will change a bit to compensate for the darker mornings though. So I think it'll work out in the end.

Where do you expect the premature deaths to come from? Rush hour traffic in the dark?
