A young person with short, messy white hair and pale skin sits on a black rolling office chair in the foreground, turning their head to look toward the viewer with a neutral expression. They are dressed in a black jacket, dark pants, and black high-top sneakers with white laces. The setting appears to be a worn concrete room with large, floor-to-ceiling windows that reveal a dense, green forest outside. Behind the seated figure, a long table holds several old, boxy computer monitors and electronic equipment. The floor is a speckled terrazzo surface, reflecting the ambient light. Natural, diffuse daylight floods the room from the windows, creating a cool, soft atmosphere. The entire image is overlaid with vibrant, digital glitch artifacts, including colorful pixelated blocks and vertical distortion lines that disrupt the visual field. The camera angle is at eye level, framing the subject in the lower left while emphasizing the vast, windowed background.

I'm going to the former site of the computer school, anyone need anything?

the side of a red brick building, lined with shrubs, with "COMPUTER SCHOOL" in faded glue remnants of a sign along the upper part. a radio tower with three triangular platforms looms overhead behind the building.

transit mode switch — route traced. there it is. what was I looking for again?

railroad tracks in the foreground, a row of shrubs behind them. The middle of the frame is dominated by a building consisting of pillars and a roof, no permanent walls. A brown brick structure to the right. The sky is clear blue with bright light from the left side, indicating late afternoon with the sun low in the sky, just out of frame.

$A young, androgynous figure with short, messy white hair and piercing amber eyes stands centered within a translucent, distorted block that resembles warped glass. The subject wears a bulky white tactical jacket with a prominent orange zipper, layered over a white undershirt, paired with dark cargo pants and black combat boots. Their hands are gloved in black, resting loosely at their sides, while their expression remains neutral and stoic. The background is a wash of cool blue and purple hues, filled with vertical streaks of light and pixelated artifacts that suggest a futuristic or cybernetic setting. The lighting is diffuse and ethereal, casting soft reflections on the surface of the enclosing block and highlighting the figure's pale skin. The composition is a full-body shot taken from eye level, framing the character entirely within the shimmering, refractive boundaries of the foreground element.$

'is that right? the way the image curves to give way to the internal reflection?' well, I've been gazing into my glass prisms irl, and it is (though the material in my simulation features a much smaller index of refraction, it is not intended to simulate glass). asa.engineer/simulator/

yeah, I think it contains mostly good advice but their website is extremely vibey (everything on a card, inconsistently floaty card hover animations, inconsistent corner radii for similar elements, cards with the top border cut off, chips everywhere, monospace everywhere)

A quiet residential scene dominated by a vast blue sky filled with scattered, fluffy white clouds that are tinged with soft orange hues, indicating a time near sunrise. In the lower third of the frame, a brown brick building with a dark, sloping roof sits behind a small, manicured lawn and a concrete sidewalk. The structure appears to be an apartment complex or a large home, featuring rectangular windows on the left side and a darker entryway section. To the left of the building, large, leafy green trees rise up, while smaller shrubs and bushes dot the landscaping in front of the brick facade. The lighting is soft and directional, casting the building and trees into shadow while highlighting the texture of the clouds above. A paved asphalt road runs along the very bottom edge of the frame, separating the viewer from the property. In the background to the right, faint outlines of other structures, power lines, and a satellite dish are visible against the brightening sky. The composition places the horizon line low, emphasizing the expansive nature of the sky and the cloud formations.

there are serious risks involved with AI. for example, what if the most capable models fall into the wrong hands, who wish to use them to concentrate power, lock down access, hand unchecked control to authoritarian governments, and do secretive fingerprinting to sort users based on national origin?

Porrima 0.1.4: 'High Efficiency' style mode that doesn't instantly cook your gpu with blur effects, replacing them with solid colors and shaded overlays instead, with this 'solid on gradient' look

lol, it's actually just 80mph. weird fractional speed limits do exist though, usually on mining roads

I agree with Armin here; I think coding harnesses that run in 'hands-off' mode produce disastrously bad results

Given this desire, there is something I lack with my experience of code written without me paying attention, particularly from loops. Present-day models tend to produce code that is too defensive, too complex, too local in its reasoning. They avoid strong invariants. They add fallbacks instead of making bad states impossible. They duplicate code, invent bad abstractions, and paper over unclear design with more machinery. Worse though: I so far see very little progress of this improving. If anything, on that front it feels to me that we might even be making steps in the wrong direction. At least for my taste, present-day hands-off harnesses like Claude Code with ultracode produce worse code than what we were producing last autumn. That’s because Claude Code, with Fable for instance will be working uninterrupted on a problem for thirty minutes or more, when previously the process would have been much more human in the loop.

Qwen3.6 27B is truly goated, my agent is doing the hard work of a noise-based water surface shader that GPT-5.5 and GLM-5.2 kept trying to come up with clever lazy shortcuts to avoid

I suspect that matters are complicated by the curviness of spacetime, it's not a straightforward geometric problem

Projects can be: - started on a remote machine - pinned in the sidebar, assigned a color - renamed - assigned a different working directory

You can also manually warm the cache for any chat in the list.

one cool thing that Porrima can do is hot-swap its own llama.cpp processes. I ask it every time I want to update the binary or to try new features — it can then restart the service, prefill and resume with no user input.
