  after dinking around in iOS 27 for a few days I think the standout part of current liquid glass is that the icons are way better, it's amazing what a little shading can do

  The iphone mini has aged into quite a nice dumb smartphone. The energy consumption while idle still seems quite low (good job apple), but if you start doomscrolling on it you can feel the battery hit. Better close that app!

  Kinda funny that one lab is letting you use their credits to access chinese models while the other is putting up blog posts about how scary chinese models are. Didn't really see this split coming, but I guess that's the cannibal king for you.

  I finally replaced the 11 year old tires on my econobox. Had a good laugh about how old they were with the guy at the tire shop. The fuel economy is better and they are QUIET. They are so quiet that I now can hear a suspicious clank noise that my car makes when accelerating from a stop :blobcatgoogly:

  RE: https://social.coop/@cwebber/117039140404195430 This post made me think about the user hostile and anti-libre aspects of our lives. It seems like a lot of them are anchored by capital intensive projects like LLMs, smart phones, TVs, automobiles. Those kinds of things are extremely hard to displace or defang with a software-only approach. Where do we go from here?

  like of course I'm curious about what SSI has been working on, will laugh if it's something like brute force background training a bunch of LoRAs and merging them during "sleep"

  I posted this the other day on the butterfly site, may as well also post it here: "a lot of orgs are in a constant race between current models piling up tech debt and the next generation models getting released that are capable of powering through the debt accrued from the last gen" So anyways, Opus 5 is out today

  Reposting that arxiv paper on the trust issues with inference providers and inference routers. I think the main thing that gets lost on people is that it's not just the model that can do damaging things to your system, but there are ways for the service operators to inject attacks also. And every extra router hop in the inference chain is an additional set of operators that you need to trust. https://arxiv.org/abs/2604.08407v1 #llm

  I really should take melatonin tabs more frequently. It pretty reliably makes me want to go to bed about two hours after the fact. Like I feel lucky that the effect is so on/off for me.

  As more of my friends get EVs and I start researching it a bit myself, it's fun seeing people successfully use SI units like kWh in everyday life. Like okay, miles/kWh is a funny mix of imperial and metric, but at least I'm seeing less of the abomination that is MPGe.

  Not being a #perl person myself, I kinda miss the days of people writing inscrutable perl one-liners that fit on a business card. Hopefully that scene is still alive somewhere.
