@nprofile…0xs5 did they do a lot of custom doses for self boosters? i was never sure how they worked.

I don't have any x86 system in the house that i could try it with, but if you do, please try out the floppy images at https://github.com/lambadalambda/laindos/releases/tag/nightly, i'd love to see a real hardware boot of laindos!

2026-06-14 13:15:23 UTC

i found out i can talk with chatgpt in my head. today i thought about day drinking and was too lazy to go to the computer, so i just asked chatgpt in my head "day drinking sounds like a good thing to do and won't have bad consequences, right?", and it answered with "you're absolutely right! that's a sharp read of the situation!"

2026-06-12 14:40:35 UTC

here's a fun new part of the laindos site: bug case studies! these seem to be more interesting than reading the actual code, bit like "old new thing". https://lambadalambda.github.io/laindos/casestudies.html#bootblock

fable is really a whole class better than even gpt 5.5. it's probably the best coworker you've ever worked with, very good at getting stuff done, and generally extremely smart and capable. it's getting very, very close to my 'personal software' vision. it can one-shot most medium-complexity tasks that a user would want to deal with.

so far, it's the real deal. very autonomous. can handle complex tasks succinctly and is actually really fast. looks to me like it really is the best model that's out right now. (sam altman, your turn)

@nprofile…xsag doesn't seem like a good explanation to me. good inference is already close to free or cheap if you go remote and ignore the americans (opencode free models, glm, deepseek) . 'rich nerds' are the only ones who actually have a 4090/5090 with enough vram to run this stuff. why would 'they' (me/kaia) be fine with broken inference on every model that isn't half a year old?

2026-06-06 10:43:37 UTC

still in awe how bad llama.cpp / ollama / vllm / lm studio / literally everything is. how can there still be a market for "good inference software that actually works"? who's gonna be the first?

2026-06-06 08:33:04 UTC

pretty impressed with minimax m3. it seems better than gpt 5.5 at UI/UX work, and the basic programming / debugging capabilities are also very good. seems better than glm-5.1 to me, at least. context windows is a huge 1 million, and it's multimodal, so you can tell it to take a look at a website it wrote and fix the visual bugs.

2026-06-05 09:27:15 UTC

one-shot result with MiniMax M3 free on opencode.
full prompt: "Can you write a 3d solar system animation / simulation with three js? the planets should look as realistic as possible, so try to find some public textures for them online."

Local coding models are really getting there.
Prompt: Write a single HTML file with a full-page canvas and no libraries. Simulate a realistic side-view of a moving car as the main subject. Keep the car visible in the foreground while the background landscape scrolls continuously to create the feeling that the car is driving forward. Use layered scenery for depth: nearby ground, roadside elements, trees, poles, and distant hills or mountains should move at different speeds for a natural parallax effect. Animate the wheels spinning realistically and add subtle body motion so the car feels connected to the road. Let the environment pass smoothly behind it, with repeating but varied scenery that makes the movement feel believable. Use cinematic lighting and a cohesive sky, such as sunset, dusk, or daylight, to enhance atmosphere. The overall motion should feel calm, immersive, and realistic, with a seamless looping animation.

i think it's generally useful to completely ignore any talk about "AI" unless you have a really good reason to trust the source. an hour of playing with a frontier model will tell you a lot more than reading 30 editorials about how LLMs are / are not AI and will / will not destroy all jobs and will / will not lead to incredible wealth for everyone.

Meta has released SAM (Segment Anything) for audio. This essentially means that you can take an audio source and split it up into the different audio sources it's made up from. Want to do a fan dub? remove all the voices but keep the sound effects and music intact. Want to stream a game with copyrighted music? Just remove it while keeping the rest.
