✨ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 📌 Here’s what you’ll learn: After nearly 10 years, I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon and transferring my ownership of the trademark and other assets to the Mastodon non-profit. Over the course of my time at Mastodon, I have centered myself less and less in our outward communications, and to some degree, this is the culmination of that trend. Mastodon is bigger than me, and though the technology we develop on is itself decentralized—with heaps of alternative fediverse projects demonstrating that participation in this ecosystem…

Back then, EC2 storage was entirely ephemeral and stopping an instance meant losing all your data. The platform has come a long way since then. Even after nearly two decades with the platform, there's always something new to learn. And sometimes those lessons come with a $1,000 price tag. The setup We recently moved…
✨ Read this insightful post from Hacker News 📖 📂 Category: 📌 Here’s what you’ll learn: Demo: Parallel text-image generation in action. While thinking-aware generation aims to improve performance on complex tasks, we identify a critical failure mode where existing sequential, autoregressive approaches can paradoxically degrade performance due to error propagation. To systematically analyze this issue, we propose ParaBench, a new benchmark designed to evaluate both text and image output modalities. Our analysis using ParaBench reveals that this performance degradation is strongly correlated with poor alignment between the generated reasoning and the final image. To resolve this, we propose a…

The README provides information about performance, capabilities, and tests. This document reflects more on the why and how OrthoRoute was developed. This is a project born out of necessity. Another thing I was working on needed an enormous backplane. A PCB with sixteen connectors, with 1,100 pins on each connector. That’s 17,600 individual pads, and 8,192 airwires that need to be routed. Here, just take a look: Look at that shit. Hand…

Apple blames the carriers, the carriers tell me it’s not them (mostly T-Mobile since I have good contacts there). They tell me they can’t really do anything about iPhones not working on RCS, go back to Apple. This is what it looks like: In short, it’s probably Apple or Google and there’s zero accountability from Apple. I have AppleCare+ and really hoped they’d actually try to troubleshoot and fix…
