New comment by wronglebowski in "Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack"

wronglebowski — Mon, 02 Nov 2026 12:10:08 +0000

It truly feels like Europe is just collectively shrugging at their lack of preparedness and aggression they face. What’s it going to take for them to take their own security seriously?

New comment by wronglebowski in "New Apple TV 4K"

I’d argue Apple TVs were one of the few cost subsidized items they sell, as when people could get 15$ Fire TV sticks anywhere they had to at least look competitive. Now that costs have gone up significantly and it’s basically an iPhone 17 without a screen it’s tough to keep the costs down.

I'm all for more open models, but talk is cheap and this is a rather pointless announcement without anything backing it up. Publish your weights and HF repo or shut up IMO.

What hardware do you have? I’ve been playing with a 258V and OpenVINO has come a longggggg way.

I understand this repository must be under siege effectively with how popular it is, but the team needs to come up with a decent way to handle this. The current climate with Nvidia buying Hugging Face who effectively owns the llama.cpp team there’s a lot of discourse around their control of the team that’s negative.

IMO this comes down to your harness. Any frontier model from a huge shop has an inherent benefit in the system you're using it in. Search, memory, skills, integrations you don't realize even exist make them much more powerful. It is some effort but I recommend trying Hermes Agent and setting it up fully, that's the closest you'll get to a more complete experience.

17GB when a large majority of the devices sold for it shipped with 128GB of storage is wild. You should be able to opt out of it during install.

It’s really interesting timing, Qwen over thinking is what kills it for me. I’m just glad we have more options in this size class now.

wronglebowski — Sun, 02 Aug 2026 21:20:18 +0000

Can you actually have an agent call the Antigravity CLI by the TOS? Feels like the type of thing that would get your account flagged by doing it programmatically.

I think that’s the really important implied question right now. Mostly everyone already has some form of device to play games on. What happens when they start to die off?

New comment by wronglebowski in "Gemini 3.6 Flash"

wronglebowski — Tue, 21 Jul 2026 15:21:10 +0000

It’s frankly embarrassing at this point. I’ve got free access through buying a Pixel phone and it’s not even worth using as it’s a waste of my time. Here’s my experience so far using it for basic sysadmin Linux type stuff.

Gemini 3.1 Pro just feels a generation behind, from when models would miss easy things and make bad assumptions. Its not actively detrimental in bad way but the opportunity cost vs using something like Opus to be productive is large.

Gemini 3.5 Flash is the most annoying model I have ever used. It loves to respond in ALL CAPS like “LOOK AT THAT” for no apparent reason. I realize it’s a flash model but I will give it a basic list of tasks and the output will simply vomit “Now I will X” “Now I will Y” “Now I will Z” over and over again filling my screen with garbage. It’s also no smarter than 3.1 Pro and consumes just as many tokens as 3.1 Pro, it’s really pointless without a newer Pro model in place.

New comment by wronglebowski in "Llama.cpp now has an official website: llama.app"

wronglebowski — Fri, 29 May 2026 16:58:49 +0000

This is a great new development, llama.cpp is the ffmpeg of the AI world. The vast majority of "Local AI" tools just take it and put a front end on, delivering little value. Bringing users close to the core project is a big win for everyone.

Props to the author for putting in what looks like ton of work trying to navigate this issue, shame they have to go to these lengths to even have their case considered.

The jump from 10 to 20$ a year*(correction) is fine? I’m happy to pay for a quality service I use daily, and price increases are inevitable. Zero issues on my end.

I don't doubt it, but what were they all doing? The Metaverse had 10k employees on it for multiple years and seemed to almost be a standstill for long periods of time. What do these massive teams do all day?

wronglebowski — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 17:24:01 +0000

Everyone is missing the why here, this only happens because the whole stack is vertically integrated. Even if say LG wanted to make a box like this and update it for 10 years they couldn’t, they don’t make the chips. Qualcomm straight up refuses to support chips through this many Android releases. Even if device manufacturers want to support devices forever it won’t matter if the actual SoC platform drops support.
