this old tweet is getting some likes (why? mysterious), so I re-read it, and still like it. it also applies really well to what I am working on now: I need lots of VMs for agents, but I don't need lots of CPU/RAM. hence @exedev
exedev hence mysterious

least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

CEOs at companies with shareholders can NOT make decisions that may lead to outcomes that are negative for the company’s bottom line. Hence even though it seems bizarre they are asking the government to force them into decisions that are negative for the company’s income. Quoting @walterkirn The AI CEOs are free to hobble or scuttle their own products if they feel they're so dangerous. They don't need the gov't. They don't need legislation. government Related

I'm fascinated by the laurel forests of La Gomera, one the Canary Islands. They're full of different species of trees with shiny, waxy leaves. Mosses and lichens grow on the branches, and the ground is covered with a green mantle of dripping ferns and liverworts thriving in the permanent damp. The place has a mysterious, prehistoric air. The lower altitudes of this island are deserts, but the upper parts catch fog, known locally as "horizontal rain" (lluvia horizontal). Near-constant northeasterly trade winds carry moist Atlantic air that condenses into a persistent low cloud layer. This "sea… Related

You can build a dragon curve recursively in a simple way, as shown here by Jahobr: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dragon_Curve_unfolding_zoom_numbered.gif But there's another very different way you can get a dragon curve! It's much more mysterious, but recently there's been progress on figuring it out. (1/n) Related

But sometimes the house is already uninhabitable and haunted by mysterious entities that seem to come from nowhere, and it makes sense in a situation like that to shine a light on dark corners… Quoting @ClipperRen werner herzog on why he will never go to therapy "i'd rather die than go to an analyst" "if you harshly light every last corner of a house the house will be uninhabitable it's like that with your soul" he just dropped the coldest take on therapy ive ever heard and somehow made it sound completely n… Related

This is @exedev. Come get a durable sandbox, with a URL, with auth, with sharing. Keep it private or make it public. Run any database you like. Run as many as you like. The world of small software awaits. Quoting @aidenybai the current way cloud agents are done is wrong i dont want new ephemeral sandboxes per PR (chores) i want a persistent machine with creds and context that i run agents and create PRs on (primary work) Related
Yeah this is @exedev. Quoting @ycombinator A Cloud for Small Software @koomen Agents make it easy to build personal tools for yourself or your team. But deploying, securing, and sharing that software is still far more complicated than creating it. A cloud built for small software could remove that complexity and make bespoke tools as easy t… Related

As it turned out, ollama was not able to fit Qwen3.5:35B onto my GPU, but llama-server could. Hence, from that day forward, I resolved to cease being a cave-dwelling noob, and use llama-server (via llama-swap to make model swapping easier).

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
