GM I’m feeling so much better now that I no longer dread having to wake up just to show up at a literal clown show. It’s not even the fault of most of the people working there. The fish rots from the head down and German state bureaucracy decided to fish right out of the sewer. You know, the usual stuff done by privatised bureaucrats running a country that isn’t sovereign. I should probably have learned to tolerate meaningless work over the years but… I just can’t. It affects my mental health after a while. Never touching another client who insists on a Windows device for work either. Glad I’m out of this mess now. The new client is messy but in a good sense. Lots of stuff to cleanup, lots of freedom on how to achieve that. Still a fiat mine, but at least I’m not handed a Fisherprice(tm) screwdriver.

I'm still astounded that I accidentally spawned a small Discord community building the most complete archive of Tracy Twyman's work just by posting a linkof my own library of her work in a forum. Now we exchange memes, research, rumors surrounding her life and ultimate death and build out other conspiracy libraries. And it's growing.

Might be interesting to some or cause good replies to broaden my horizon. View quoted note → View quoted note →

What a shame that the Flint model doesn't come with MTP support else it would probably smoke my custom qwen3.8 model. Ran a few short benchmarks as an early indicator to see if it's worth testing further. It's using much less tokens when coding but without MTP it'll always deliver tokens/s:

Watching a recording of some german truther congress. The speaker speaks English and there's a live-translation to German after every sentence. It's better than any live-translation of any political speeches I've seen.

GM If you have a @daylightco and are logged into a Google account, always remember that the device itself won’t show up under that name in your logged in devices. I mainly use mine in airplane mode to reduce distractions while reading. A couple of days ago, I noticed a Pixel 5 in my last remaining Google account that was strangely named inconsistently as either a Pixel 5 or Pixel 7 Pro in my account’s device manager. So of course I thought this to be suspicious and requested a remote deletion. Well, I wanted to sync my local book collection just now by disabling airplane mode. And as soon as it was back online, it got remote wiped.

Reviews are in and it’s way behind on expectations and the competition. Much bigger batteries than Macbook Pros with much worse battery life. Apart from some AI workloads and gaming it’s behind everything else. Still just partial ARM64 support by various productivity apps on Windws. What a weird ecosystem. View quoted note →
