No, that was directly from deepseek. And it happened very consistently (3 or 4 times in a row, clean session every time, and across 2 harnesses). Guess I'll give it another try when v4.1 flash is available.

I must be doing something wrong. I gave v4 pro a try a couple of days ago, gave it a simple prompt like "clean up functions x and y in file z" and it would always start off promising, just to quickly get sidetracked, start halluci

Interesting. You can see the building from the beach and I always wondered what's inside. And while it's the only (decommissioned) nuclear power plant on Long Island, it's not the only nuclear reactor. There was also the High

Yeah, I'm still concerned about crystalline entities suddenly showing up. Have they ever fixed it? I don't see anything in the issue tracker, probably because no one was left last time to report it...

I would expect all RNG algorithms to be deterministic and stable with their seed, but the cryptographically secure ones to have some additional properties like making it unfeasible to reverse the seed from the output, having a very long per

It feels a bit unfair to say that it is faster by being able to tell the total length from the first byte and capping it at 64 bit, while some of the other formats can store arbitrarily large integers. I guess you could use another variable

Eh... unfortunately they shut down their forums a couple of years ago. So good luck getting any form of support as a free user even if you run into real bugs in their software (believe me, I tried...) That being said, I have used their ice4

And Hamamatsu (and some others) still produce and sell photomultiplier tubes. The microchannel plate PMTs are pretty nifty things [1]. You can get single-digit picosecond time resolution out of them. [1]: https://www.hamamatsu.co

Clearly, we should place a radioactive source, a Geiger counter, and a computer in a sealed box. Every time the counter registers a decay, the computer performs a HTTP GET. Thus, we end up with Schrödinger's webserver...

At least you can tick the "stay signed in" checkbox and... get kicked out a few hours later with a smug "you successfully signed out" message.

Funny how it went from "just get an Nvidia card for Linux" and "oh my god, what did I do to deserve fglrx?" to "just get an AMD card" and "it's Nvidia, what did you expect?"

Isn't Incus/LXD separate from and running on top of LXC? People sometimes seem to use the names interchangeably which can be annoying because I run just plain LXC but when looking stuff up and come across "this is how you do

Meanwhile, the DPO4054 I use at work has issues with half of the buttons, the data returned by some commands doesn't match the manual, and the probes from some newer scopes don't fit even though they all just use BNC? Maybe the so

This brings back memories of my old HP laptop with an Athlon 64 and a Radeon X200M. The crappy FGLRX driver only supported overlays (afair) and so when running something like Compiz it would transform the window with the green background bu

Can confirm. My 3TB Seagate was the only disk so far (knocking on wood) that died in a way that lost some data. Still managed to make a copy with dd_rescue, but there was a big region that just returned read errors and I ended up with a bun
