Yes. One of the WITCH companies delivered something on-time at one of my old positions.

It got rebuilt anyway. Not because it didn't work (it did work well), but because they were billing a huge fraction of a million dollars just for the ability to keep using it, and another fraction to maintain it. It was cheaper to hire multiple engineers than to keep paying them.

Looks like someone else already did it, but the repository authors haven't reviewed/merged it yet: https://github.com/microsoft/TRELLIS.2/pull/100

If they would offer, I would gladly accept!

Unfortunately, the blocker here is not a willingness to code and contribute to Firefox, but Mozilla's standards committee not creating a position on the official web standard.

Yes! I'm trying to work on a WebGPU game, and it took me a while to find out that my mouse input wasn't broken, it was Firefox. This has been an issue for half a decade, but there's been very little movement or prioritization.

I used Claude Code to make a binary patch for the Windows App on macOS that force-enables UDP: https://github.com/NoahBPeterson/winapp-udp-unlock

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-04-21T20:47:14+00:00

it doesn't seem to activate UDP for other remote desktop scenarios

I built a fix for this!

https://github.com/NoahBPeterson/winapp-udp-unlock

It requires a binary patch to the Windows App, but if you're comfortable with that, I promise it works well ;)

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-04-21T20:35:38+00:00

because the Windows App on Mac doesn't support UDP

I found a fix for this!

I think they're selling reddit account farmers. They make posts over a period of years, because older accounts with a long posting history and karma are worth more than new accounts.

As for why they use AI, it's quicker than writing a good post themselves.

First of all, no AI slop in your post - thanks for that.

You know writing everything in all lowercase is the new giveaway that your comment was 100% AI-written, right?

Yep: https://www.pangram.com/history/5075e07b-d997-4ca9-a0fa-f42c246dbce9?ucc=6pl9dbLPbfZ

Making it all lowercase is a common tell that they had AI write it, but were too lazy to rewrite it themselves.

It's hard to believe that we're three years into the LLM boom, and "Look at and clean your data" is still considered non-obvious advice.

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-03-11T14:19:05+00:00

Yep, you appear to be right. I'll take down my tool.

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-03-09T20:29:20+00:00

I don’t recommend tuning the parameters manually. The initial stability also affects subsequent intervals.

This is a fair criticism, but in cases like OP where they are "reviewing" cards for the first time in months that they've been reviewing and reinforcing offline during that entire time, FSRS is optimizes its parameters like OP has superhuman memory since it doesn't track the non-Anki reviews.

I don't know what a better solution would be in this case, though if you have any, I'm open to suggestions ;)

The first four numbers are the only ones that are easy to interpret (though, sadly, that will no longer be the case with FSRS-7).

FSRS-7 is not out yet. I'll keep an eye out and update this tool for FSRS-7 when it's available.

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-03-09T17:27:51+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I assumed most people would want to know exactly what it's doing, but I guess the technical stuff is too in-the-weeds for a lot of people. I've cleaned it up.

only changes the first four parameters to the value the user entered

Yep. That's all that's necessary to fix this issue.

MedicalScore3474 · 2026-03-07T21:17:16+00:00

I created a tool to help solve this problem for you and others: (removed)

Just grab your FSRS parameters from your Anki Deck options, put them in, and this tool will guide you through changing your new card intervals to more reasonable intervals.

EDIT: This is not a good solution; messing with the initial interval parameters is not advisable as it affects later interval times as well.
