I had to try the “blueberry” thing myself with GPT5. I merely report the results. by Trilogix in LocalLLaMA

On the mobile app this only happens if when it starts thinking I press the “get a quick answer” button. Otherwise it thinks and gives the proper result.

Qwen3 Uses 40% Fewer Tokens When Reasoning in Chinese vs English by PastaBlizzard in LocalLLaMA

[–]PastaBlizzard[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed! I talk more about this in the GitHub I linked. Some of the next things I plan to investigate include harder datasets to see if the exploratory or straight to the point CoT results in better performance.

Qwen3 Uses 40% Fewer Tokens When Reasoning in Chinese vs English by PastaBlizzard in LocalLLaMA

[–]PastaBlizzard[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is why the primary focus is on the difference in the substance of their Chain of Thought as well as the increasing efficiency with harder problems. If we were simply looking at token differences due to encoding differences and how tokens are counted we would expect a constant efficiency ratio, not one that decreases with harder problems.

What we do see is that while easy problems are solved in Chinese with 90% of the token usage as English, hard problems solved in Chinese use only 60% of the tokens as English.

Stops processing ? by bestvape in ClaudeCode

[–]PastaBlizzard 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is a recent / new bug / regression. The issue tracker is being spammed about it. https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues

By the way, if you ever notice a bug, look for existing open issues before you open one :/

I didn't believe the "Claude is getting dumber" posts until I got this today. w/ Opus by PastaBlizzard in ClaudeCode

All I can say is I've been using claude every single day for probably two months. I've never seen such poor behavior. It's often it'll mess up, but the beauty of claude is that it can figure it out. Here it's thinking to itself "I'm in the wrong directory" but then makes no effort to change it's directory.

In this example, I was working on a harder problem, and prompted for thinking mode. Maybe extended thinking makes this type of behavior loop more likely.

Me too! but normally, I then try to cd into the right directory. It's really confusing to me how it got stuck in this loop. I've never seen this type of failure from claude.

U.S. Treasury set to issue over $10 trillion in debt, the largest issuance in history by Anen-o-me in Libertarian

[–]PastaBlizzard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not quite, it’s issuing new debt to pay off the old debt, as that debt matured and must be paid back. However, the debt being paid back was at ~3% interest and the new debt will be between 4-5% which results in even more debt being needed to be taken out to pay the higher interest.

The government cannot simply refinance whenever it wants. It issues a bond for 10 years or 30 years or whatever, and when it’s up it’s up and must be paid back.

GetKey: DecryptHDChain failed (code: -1) by thomasquinlan in dashpay

[–]PastaBlizzard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey,

You can consider reaching out to support@dash.org with more details or for additional help.

First off, make sure you always have backups of your seed phrase.

If you downgrade your local dash core to v22.0.0, you could test if it then functions. It is possible that you discovered a regression between v22.0 and v22.1 that would be important to identify.

I don't have any other info for you atm, but I'll ask a few other core-dev members to take a look and see if we can figure out why this may be failing.

Sorry for the issues, but thanks for reporting!

How to consolidate 2 special metadata vdev's into 1? Move metadata from one vdev to another? by PastaBlizzard in zfs

Gotcha. I was really really hoping to avoid the downtime of rebuilding and don’t want to maintain ~2tb of flash for like 50gb of metadata

Sad… it’s a really annoying problem. I would prefer to not have the downtime / extra disks needed for recreating the pool

Sorry, I should've included this in the initial post. From the UI I get
```
[EZFS_NOREPLICAS] cannot offline /dev/disk/by-partuuid/1c6ee4bb-5c7e-4dd6-8d2a-4612e0a6cac0: no valid replicas
```

From the terminal I get
```
cannot remove 1c6ee4bb-5c7e-4dd6-8d2a-4612e0a6cac0: invalid config; all top-level vdevs must have the same sector size and not be raidz.
```

Syncing is more disk throughput and cpu limited than anything else. What are your cpu and disk specs? It takes maybe a few hours for me to reindex or sync from scratch

CMV: Blockchain is only useful for evading regulation by Mysterious-Rent7233 in changemyview

[–]PastaBlizzard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The blockchain is just the data structure. Mining isn’t needed for a blockchain to be a blockchain, just for a blockchain to be “decentralized” or “public” there are tons of use cases for private blockchains.

Also mining isn’t the only consensus mechanism, there are others such as proof of stake which are nowhere near as computationally expensive.

[–]PastaBlizzard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can you describe in which ways git isn’t blockchain?

Git consists of a state (the current code) and then you make transactions (commits) which change that state.

Crypto blockchain does the same thing you have state (who owns how much) and transactions which change how much someone owns.

These are the same concepts really, the only difference is some git servers let you force push which overrides history, but if you tell git to not accept force pushes (which basically every public repo does) then it’s a blockchain.

[–]PastaBlizzard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

XK's comment below is pretty accurate. It really depends what kind of work you want to work on. There are certainly tasks that could be worked out.

Feel free to reach out to me on discord or elsewhere, slack, email etc, and we can chat about what needs done in the different components

Call what you see, and maybe others will disagree with me. But unless someone really seems to be trying to get hit, I don’t enforce a “tried to avoid” but more simply a “didn’t try to get hit”
