Hack the Planet

In a perpetual state of learning.

NVIDIA sold millions of 3090s with 50% of the tensor speed switched off. Not missing. Switched off.

1 kernel module flips it to full, and my BF16 tensor pipe went from 82 to 155 TFLOPS. Nothing else changed on the cards, and the outputs match the stock run byte for byte.

All so the gaming card wouldnt eat into workstation sales. Every 3090 owner ran at 50% for 6 years, so a pro card could look worth the price. Fine, its their business model.

And LLMs are the least interesting place for this. Decode waits on memory, and my engine runs its experts in int8. Still +10% on prefill.

The models that live on BF16 tensor math are everything else. Qwen Image 2.1 and FLUX 3 Klein, where every diffusion step is big matmuls. MiniMax H3, which takes 4 to 7 minutes on my cards. Music and speech models. And training, every LoRA anyone ever trained on a 3090 went through exactly the path that was cut.

Thats what I measure next. This is only the start.

as bad as things have gotten in the past 4 days, they are going to get a lot worse before they get better. security leaders, never let a crisis go to waste: please go to your boards and ask for help right now. not for ai, for the basics. (we need to hold on for ~18 months.)

Introducing Bitwater: the water heater element that mines Bitcoin.

It screws into the electric tank you already have.

Physically decentralized mining that runs no matter what 🧵

Heat water. Mine Bitcoin. Same tank.

Full details of a remotely exploitable vulnerability in the core engine of *all* PHP versions will be released tomorrow, October 21st. If your organization has internet facing PHP applications then you need to be ready to patch the minute the update is released or *strongly* consider taking the application offline until you can:

@RobertJBye 20x account running 24/7. I’m interested.

@meshgelman A new raspberry flavored capsule?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Next year, I will give one of my SpaceX shares to every kid in America.

This will be the first of many.

[Hack the Planet @hacktheplanet]

@meshgelman @elonmusk @Target @Cumuluscoffee @Tesla Will the capsules be available for purchase at Target too?

@meshgelman Westchester County, NY. Just north of Manhattan.

[Hack the Planet @hacktheplanet]

@meshgelman I live in a predominantly LDS small city in the northwest and don’t have access to any good cafes. Making from home or driving 50 minutes roundtrip is the only option!

Plus following your founder journey is inspiring, too. Congrats on the Target endcap display!

[Hack the Planet @hacktheplanet]

@NVIDIARTXSpark @ASUS I would install @omarchy OS on it, along with Herdr, Claude and Codex and vibe code to my heart’s content!

I’d also build a walnut and glass door cabinet and hang it on the wall to showcase Jensen Huang’s signature off while not in use, too.

[Hack the Planet @hacktheplanet]

@meshgelman Good luck everyone!

[Mesh Gelman @meshgelman]

Wow. Been on meetings all day and didn’t have a chance to connect yet today. Hi everyone! I will be spinning the wheel for the countdown for cumulus at target in about two hours.

Get your name on the wheel!

Reshare or comment asap!

Good luck !!

Omandroid has a new name: Omarchy Mobile 📱

It was never Android. It's native Omarchy (Arch Linux ARM, Hyprland, Omarchy's own packages) on a mainline Linux kernel, right on a Pixel 7 Pro. No Android underneath.

New repos (old links redirect):
https://t.co/27nWIk5jYm
https://t.co/EfmDpCXOrx

Hardware: display at 120 Hz, GPU, touch, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth audio, battery, haptics, torch, sensors and auto-rotate, GPS, NFC (read/write tags) and fingerprint unlock (opt-in) all work. Speakers work but are still quiet. Ultrawide camera works; main and front are in progress. The modem now boots and talks to the phone; calls, SMS and data need a SIM, that's next. Sleep is in progress.

The last two days in software:
• swipeable home screens with ~50 built-in widgets, from @simonschubert's Omalauncher
• "Create with AI": describe a widget, Omarchy's default agent builds it
• editable quick settings
• one app per screen
• mirror the phone's screen to your laptop over USB

And an installer! I'm super happy to annonce this. It can all be done with a few commands. GUI/website later. Build the root image on your laptop, then tools/install-phone asks for your user name, password and Wi-Fi, checks the phone, and writes only slot B and userdata. Stock Android stays on slot A as your way back. First boot sets everything up, and tools/phone-provision pulls the phone-specific firmware from your own Pixel factory image (no Google files redistributed). The first clean install with it is happening on my phone as I write this. Steps are in the README.

Fair warning: this is EXPERIMENTAL! Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone, expect rough edges, Pixel 7 Pro only for now. Pixel 6 and 8a ports are starting via contributors. Addtional contributors welcome 🤙

Hi friends. Quick update on the cumulus machines. Tonight’s selections will be happening around 9:30 ET. Same method. Spin the wheel.
