Thanks! I’ve still been using 3.0 a lot, the price-to-performance ratio absolutely kills compared to Google’s other and newer offerings.

Shout out to Flickr! No matter how many gigabytes you had uploaded, you can still access them. You just can’t upload more without a Flickr Pro plan.

Give it a few days and additional provider will be up and available on OpenRouter. Then the game of figuring out who’s not nuking the weights and neutering the quantization begins.

Would you be able to run it against Gemini Flash (not Lite) 3.0, high thinking?

That’s only for tool use.

Do infra providers reveal that level of implementation detail?

Supposedly there are “jailbreaks” that expose considerably more of the thinking traces.

Did I miss the link to the study? I was wondering if storage contamination were a possibility? Breast milk storage bags are all plastic, and cheap brands abound.

I would have liked to see a bit more on the theory side of things, explaining optimal weight and inference splits, actual issues with existing drivers, etc instead of what’s essentially just a recipe.

The problem with trust is that it is easy to lose and hard to get back.

You can't blame the people commenting "they SAY they won't silently sabotage your session but how can we know?" because they're right, we can't ever know. And Anthropic has firmly planted the seeds of doubt.

New comment by ComputerGuru in "PgDog is funded and coming to a database near you"

It doesn’t even remotely need to fit on one SSD with logical volume management (or RAID).

No, the main difference is that MySQL bundles the code needed to interact with the old db version in the newer server binaries (effectively by not changing the on-disk binary format!) while pg_upgrade requires you to have both old and new installs living side-by-side to reuse logic/code from old binaries. It is a more bulletproof method and less susceptible to bugs and (upstream) developer errors, but is (or at least can be) harder for the sysadmin+dbadmin.

(For example, ports under FreeBSD doesn’t let you install multiple Postgres versions as they are marked as conflicting packages so installing one necessarily uninstalls the other. The saving grace here is that most (virtually all) FreeBSD installations have root on ZFS and you can employ ZFS snapshots (via the hidden .zfs folder) to access the old binaries after upgrading to the new postgres version, but not many people know this trick!)

Thanks, I missed that on first glance and did manual translation.

Not sure why my iPhone shows an option to translate website but all the destination languages to pick from (I have multiple languages installed), including English, are greyed out. iPhone does support translating from Chinese (Simplified or Traditional), and the button to translate website isn’t greyed out like it is for unsupported/unrecognized languages. Might be an iOS 27 bug, because it is working on other websites?

Since the link is in Chinese: MiMo Code is Xiaomi’s AI agentic coding harness.

“ MiMoCode is a terminal-native AI coding assistant. It can read and write code, run commands, manage Git, and use a persistent memory system to keep a deep understanding of your project across sessions while continuously improving itself.”

@dang might be better to link to the GitHub, and not for language reasons.

Different restrictions. ML gets treated differently from the rest.

My big question as an OSS dev distributing some precompiled binaries via npm for easy installation: does allowScripts also default to disabled when directly installing a package (globally or otherwise)?

As usual, another release post with no mention of what the damn thing is.

New comment by ComputerGuru in "Let's Encrypt bans certificate usage in any US sanctioned territory [pdf]"

ComputerGuru — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 17:31:36 +0000

This is bullshit on par with the Chinese firewall, meant to effectively prevent the (entire!) western world from information by parties deemed persona non-grata. SSL certificates are supposed to be about security, not geopolitics.

I'm pretty sure a LE server hitting an Iranian or North Korean endpoint and validating a crypto challenge does not break any OFAC or EAR rules, and no money changes hands. And if a non-US entity wants to do it, the US would just sanction them. Microsoft and Mozilla are certainly not going to include a North Korean or Russian state CA in the root trusted certs (and if they did, the US government could just threaten them with sanctions, too).

Hard not to say "we warned you" about making self-signed certs completely unusable in favor of a very centralized approach.

I used Gemini exclusively via the API but downloaded the app last week for something. Even on max settings, it is ridiculously nerfed!
