Things I couldn't find elsewhere

Recent discourse from major AI labs like OpenAI and Anthropic has increasingly centered on the existential threat posed by super-intelligent AI.

What's the F.U.S.S?

Rationale -“I tried asking an LLM to help me with this database task and all I got back was outdated and wrong answers” -“The LLM said it had written the code but when I tried it it had just skipped parts of it and completely misunderstood others” -“I’m n…

-“I don't understand how you can pretend that simple next-token prediction models can do what humans brains can!”

Recently I noticed unusually high load on one of my servers.

Unmasking the Unnamed If you’ve spent any time in the retro scene, you know the drill.

Why are we here A while back I found myself having an irritating problem.

tl;dr: Argot Whatsapp, Messenger, Signal, Discord, Teams, Slack Some better than others, some truly encrypted and some not.

OpenWebUI is a great AI toolbox for personal or family use.

What follows is an actual session I just had with the LLM I'm using for hobbyist development, Devstral-2, using the Mistral Vibe CLI.

I’m using Mistral Vibe as my “AI CLI” when doing LLM-aided development.

I've vibe coded.

Loops is a fediverse version of TikTok.

There's been a sharp uptick in the number of children diagnosed with autism and/or ADHD since a few decades back.

I’ve set up my parents with an awesome business quality managed network - since I’m the one managing it.

“Back to the office” and the push for “AI into everything” have the same underlying cause.

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while.

It's dead Jim The friendly global market died in the beginning of 2025.

Back in late 2019 I saw an ad on Facebook for a very interesting IoT device from a Swedish company local to me - Minut.

Symptom: 2024-02-18T18:06:31Z ERR The homeserver is outdated (supported spec versions are below minimum required by bridge) bridge_requires=v1.4 server_supports=v1.2 Resolution: When I decided on a Matrix home server the choice fell on Dendrite.

If I remember correctly, at one point my Home Assistant (H-A from now on) installation started complaining on the Bluetooth component not starting up correctly.

“Evidence is increasing, therefore, that a rapid reorganisation of atmospheric and ocean circulation (time-scales of several decades or more) can occur during inter-glacial periods without human interference.” from IPCC TAR - Working Group I: The Scientif…

Well that headline looks weird.

(No, this is not about Musk supporting a racist, homophobic, bigoted authoritarian - others will write endlessly about that today) Tesla is valued as a software company, not a car company.

What you’re seeing in this picture is a screenshot from our “family chat”.

With Facebook's release of LLaMa , and the subsequent work done with its models by the open community , it's now possible to run a state of the art “GPT-3 class” LLM on regular consumer hardware.

Docker is a powerful tool for managing and deploying applications, but it can sometimes be frustrating to work with.

When people talk about the Atari ST range of computers, most mean the common form factor of the times where the computer and keyboard were all one unit.

Update 2021-07-14: Ben of The Overlanders commented on my Facebook post that there was yet another optimization possible on the depack-routine.

(Also includes how to seriously mess something up creating even bigger repair needs) When we bought our property we also purchased a lot of the equipment the previous owner had acquired.

Above you see two probes that came with my DSLogic Analyzer.

I bought a DSLogic Basic USB Logic Analyzer a few years back.

Love the Tesla Model 3.

Even the retro world is moving away from the regular DIP packaging sometimes.

I own a TL866CS IC programmer .

[this post has been updated, see additional edits being made at the bottom] April 2018 I saw a Facebook ad for a pair of headphones that sounded like the perfect match for my needs.

update 21/7: I’ll make regular builds of this, and hope to have it completely automated soon.

När jag fyllde år fick jag en ljusbox från Jysk av familjen.

I’ve added yet a new little description to Projects - a circuit and modification to “nudge” wakestates on Atari STs without needing to power cycle.

Back in the day, those of us who did advanced video tricks on the Atari (opening borders, hardware scrolling on hw without hardware scroll) knew that there were differences between systems, and sometimes on the same system.

I’ve done an extended writeup of a little project I’ve been working on and off on for the last few months.

update: See the very bottom of the post for more on where this is going.

update 20-07-20: Since a few weeks back I no longer use any macOS systems, being Linux only nowadays.

The Atari ST, like other computers at the time, had Dual Density disk drives with 720KB of storage.

Today it’s exactly two months since I started on my "Elysium Basis" regime .

“it's better to burn out than to fade away” (From Neil Young's My My, Hey Hey - and known for being quoted by Kurt Cobain in his suicide note) I remember my teenage years well.

A few weeks ago I acquired a computer I never had the chance to play around with when it was new, an Atari Mega STE.

The Atari Mega STE might be the best machine of the 16 bit era.

This weekend is a long weekend in Sweden - and of course I’m away from home, hacking away at the infrastructure I’m far away from.

This last weekend me and many others were participating at the third incarnation of the STNICCC Atari ST conference .
