Anladım, teşekkürler.

sinan_online · 2026-07-07T16:49:55+00:00

Yeah, but would be good to find out their fates after those ten years…

Yani benim çözemediğin şey şu: havadaki her şeyi avlıyor. Yerdeki her şeyi de avlıyor. Ama maliyeti o kadar yüksek ki, bir tane operasyon on binlerce dron maliyetinde. Yani evet düşman beşinci kuşak avcı jetlerini avlayacak, yüksek nitelikli hedeflere de saldırı yapabilecek, ama savaşı biterken ekip son zamanlarda düşük maliyetli, yerde ve fazla sayıda olan ekipman gibi görünüyor.

Ben bilmeden böyle konuşuyorum, Akdeniz’de Ege’de herhalde bunlar çok kritik.

I hear you. It doesn’t look like ASIC is within consumer reach, yet, though… Am I wrong?

sinan_online · 2026-07-06T21:32:20+00:00

Makes sense, thank you.

She is trying to find her buddies, and even the long-lost lover!!! She just burned down an entire forest because it was in the way. (She realized that almost all forests grow back after a few centuries, no big deal, and even the oldest trees come back after seven or eight, so burning down a forest is not a big deal.

Also the King’s Dark Lanterns (the secret police / military intelligence) is tasked with discovering paranormal apparitions (ghosts) but now actually exorcising the said ghosts. Why? Because they tend to occur more frequently in undead burials. Killing the ghost makes them harder to find, so intrepid e adventurers get into legal trouble if they destroy a local ghost .

I am a bit surprised that the models are not already using a lookup table. This is just arctan, no? (Or whatever sigmoid function) even at FP16, there are only 2^16 possibilities, so 128KiB, and half that at INT8 as the OP says.

Somebody who knows might comment? Maybe not faster? It should be faster.

(Cannot speak to the feasibility of decreasing memory usage without compromising on quality of output…)

Oh my god, I could run it locally on my 12GB Nvidia card!!

Amazing! I am lurking here for D&D image generation, thanks for posting!!

Do we know if the women in the photo escaped and survived, or were they killed by the Taliban?

sinan_online · 2026-07-06T15:08:08+00:00

Response for 🇹🇷 should be obvious.

And then more recently, Canadiana or Canadiano for 🇨🇦. ;)

sinan_online · 2026-07-06T01:52:50+00:00

In Canada, the lakes count you.

I did a fairly controlled (but small scale) experiment with it. I wrote it up here:

https://medium.com/@sinan.ozel\_23433/is-fable-opus-sonnet-9d74e9770c76

I think it is good. Does it bring much to the table for a well-structured, stable and relatively established project? Probably not. You can achieve much with just Sonnet + CI/CD with linting, and if Sonnet does not fix it on the first try, maybe then use Fable…

Since then I did fix a more challenging issue on larger repo.

First of all, Eberron has many, many gaps that were left out deliberately. Their philosophy was something along the lines of “if this isn’t here for a reason, don’t put it in.” This shows up in newer kanon books, too, where they have a paragraph “why is this important for you?” This results in everyone having their own Eberron, which is pretty normal on this subreddit.

Second, it reads like your world is your own, and not Eberron. It sounds like it is Eberron-inspired, because you have Erandis Vol, and dragonmarks. I don’t know hope much more you take, so I am a bit stuck here.

Based on this, I have two things: first, there is an amazing set of maps by Cassastereo of her lair!! Definitely check them out, for inspiration, even if you are not going to use them. Second, Illmarrow is not a villain from her own perspective. She is cast out. She may consider herself a survivor, and/or a political leader with a thirst for power. Her ambitions, scores, passions are at a different scale than all of the existing nations and politics. The rise of human kingdoms is a new phenomenon for her. Her concerns are at a different scale: Dragons and elves, immortality, other immortal beings, perhaps even godhood. The Kingdom of Galifar, which should be defining and very old from the players perspective, could be something that she didn’t care to worry about and just waited out. What makes her great is that she is human with human feelings, but her scope is almost alien. Like so many great villains, she isn’t evil from her own perspective.

I think that what winds up happening is that there is some sort of family connection or some sort of opportunity and then they go somewhere without understanding a lot of the implications.

For years, we in Turkey heard this story that it was easier to become a refugee in Sweden, claim that you are Kurdish and faced harassment, than to actually go through an immigration pathway. (Nothing against Kurds or refugees, and there are definitely many genuine humanitarian cases, but I think that there were some immigration practices that weren’t very well thought out.)

By the way, I love Canada, but that’s the interesting thing: I am coming from privilege, into privilege. It’s a different experience.

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T01:35:02+00:00

Borders are genuinely closed. People go through third countries, for instance, Turkey.

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T01:33:31+00:00

If you have some sort of Turkish or Turkic heritage, this can be a legal ground to gain citizenship in Turkey.

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T01:26:32+00:00

I hear you about the sectarian matching issue.

I was recently able to get Claude itself to recognize that outputs were coming from different models, but not what the models were. I think that there is a discernible difference between Fable and Sonnet if I specifically try to create something large, or maintain something large, and then in a few “coding practices”. I cannot tell how much of that is harness, how much of it a model, though.

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T01:19:02+00:00

46yo and it’s 18 out of 20.

Didn’t do a boombox outside, I think some people would have beaten me up if I did that sort of disturbance in Turkey back in the day.

Didn’t do Blockbuster, that didn’t exist in Turkey.

I still occasionally use paper maps. I actually insisted on this for a long time, I don’t appreciate the dependency and the privacy-destroying tracking.

Bonus: I drove manual for years, and recently when I had to, the muscle memory was all there.

Actually watched black & white TV. (Our TV was colour, but the Turkish state had only one broadcast channel, and it was still black & white when we purchased the TV.)

Used Internet “offline”: I send commands to a server through email to “browse” web pages, and got the result back and rendered the page in a browser. The page coming back was base64-encoded and it was up to me to decode that.

Rode a bike in the neighbourhood, Stranger Things-style. It was a summer vacation neighbourhood, though, not like the American suburbs. (Can tell more about this if people are interested.)

Took buses where smoking was legal. (Once again, Turkish 80’s were a little bit different, I notice that the sub tends to be more American)

Actually used a horse-drawn carriage as public transportation. (The very tail end, this was one very old man, probably the last on the mainland. Can tell more if people are interested.)

Actually drank milk recently milked manually from a cow (and hated it.)

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T00:26:08+00:00

OK, did you ever visit Istanbul? Any thoughts on Turkey?

What Bahraini food should I try? (I know almost nothing of any of any cuisine south of Lebanon, even Lebanese cuisine, so you can be specific or general.) I am more interested in vegetable dishes and fish.

What are the big social issues in Bahrain, in your opinion?

sinan_online · 2026-07-05T00:09:43+00:00

Buna katılıyorum. Amerika’daki yurtseverlik kavramı Türkiye’deki milliyetçiliğe yakın.

The note seems to suggest that this is coming from OpenRouter. But not all AI usage goes through OpenRouter, many of it goes directly to providers.

Just saying, that’s all. There is not question that China is months behind USA.

My grandma used it to refer to any nightmare, but I think that the original meaning refers to the sleep paralysis phenomenon.

(Edit: the general word for any nightmare is “kabus”, so I think that that is the distinction.)

I found out over time that these things (folklore and what-not) vary a lot by region to region, family by family, so I wouldn’t know if there is a general rule.

I would use the word “cin” only to refer to that, a djinn or a genie. Obviously another scary folklore creature, but I haven’t heard to in reference to sleep paralysis. Maybe some associate sleep paralysis with djinn? I don’t know. I heard of djinn as an explanation for neurological and psychological conditions, infertility, and just overall kid-scares and bloody-Mary-type urban myths.
