Chrono Divide is insane. It is wild to see a single dev completely leapfrog every other team that spent years making RTS engines.

No him/her

No trans employees? What does that mean? No advocating for yourself at all? No unions?

You are ghoulish

Technical procedural issues don't become "emotional reasons" because you hand-wave them away. This sounds like volunteering other peoples time.

I agree. I don't see why something getting more competition and plummeting costs is going to get significantly worse. Meta being Meta is not the strongest argument.

You are super positive that transformers can't become AGI, wow. Care to explain how atoms _can_ become AGI?

The Hash-anchor edit guy! Sincerely great idea, I used it in my own toy harness to good effect. I just checked this out, never tried it before, and its great! Clearly a well-iterated design with good choices made.

It is so refreshing to see real FOSS and not a grift. Simple openrouter api key, and I'm going.

This is what I'm using from now on. You are doing the best work in this space.

We tried to vote for normal 21st century healthcare and the billionaires spammed race-baiting nonsense and backed an unconstitutional fascist to shut it down.

They gutted peaceful democracy, so FAFO

Man, its hard not to have a reaction to another BaaS. Every "pricing" page really goes to show that engineering took a backseat to rent-seeking.

There is an incentive to take advantage of users ignorance rather than instruct them. There is no incentive to make self-hosting easy or secure or sustainable.

This is literally $600/month for 250GB of storage with no SLA. Cool "value add" bro.

Sure, yeah, I saw grubhub happen too... but this is compute, not cookies. It gets cheaper.

I don't even get what "skeptical of AI" means. We made AI, many companies reliably teach computers every spoken language. I perform my white collar job with a massive AI multiplier to my productivity.

I'm typing this on a machine comparable to Japan's Earth Simulator, a $350M supercomputer.

I don't see why tokens/$ would suddenly stop dropping. Maybe this is the first time the cost of compute will plateau, but do have any reason to think so?

That isn't true. In a Codex or Claude Code instance, sure... but those are not the main users of APIs. If you are using LLMs in a service for customers, costs matter.

That is immediate-mode graphics. Fine when you are already power-budgeted for 60 frames each second. UIs typically use retained-mode graphics, with persisting regions.

The day after the emails came out he posted a video where they had beers while Elon LARPed as a human

Dwarkesh was ready to whitewash Elon the day after his Epstein emails came out. None of them should be taken seriously.

You'll find anti-capitalists are anti-capitalists whether the number is red or green.

Prompting LLMs for code simply takes more than a couple of weeks to learn.

It takes time to get an intuition for the kinds of problems they've seen in pre-training, what environments it faced in RL, and what kind of bizarre biases and blindspots it has. Learning to google was hard, learning to use other peoples libraries was hard, and its on par with those skills at least.

If there is a well known design pattern you know, thats a great thing to shout out. Knowing what to add to the context takes time and taste. If you are asking for pieces so large that you can't trust them, ask for smaller pieces and their composition. Its a force multiplier, and your taste for abstractions as a programmer is one of the factors.

In early usenet/forum days, the XY problem described users asking for implementation details of their X solution to Y problem, rather than asking how to solve Y. In llm prompting, people fall into the opposite. They have an X implementation they want to see, and rather than ask for it, they describe the Y problem and expect the LLM to arrive at the same X solution. Just ask for the implementation you want.

Asking bots to ask bots seems to be another skill as well.

Not quite. They have 128GB of ram that can be allocated in the BIOS, up to 96GB to the GPU.

I had no idea games were already compelling players to use these features. The user-controlled client is rapidly going away.

You'll own nothing and be happy

Bluefin, Aurora, and Bazzite are taking over my home.

I've been using desktop linux since before ubuntu, and I have never had so much confidence in my linux rigs. They are dependable, which is refreshing after boot-breaking updates have ruined my setups before.

I was blown away when I realized I could stream mjpeg from a raspberry pi camera with lower latency and less ceremony than everything I tried with webrtc and similar approaches.

programming shifted from corporate mainframe work to the community builders which is good

but then:

Our field deserves better than a zoo of random nouns masquerading as professional nomenclature

Okay? So is this professional nomenclature or the work of community builders?

I think: everyone should code, it should not be an elitist profession, we don't need to all accommodate busy professionals, i'm fine with corporate users having to say my stupid package name at work.

Your fun has externalities. Every person who encounters your “fun” name pays a small tax. Across the industry, these taxes compound into significant waste

Someone please get this guy a bong rip.

I learned about Aurora from a HN comment some weeks ago, and it has been so awesome. I really haven't been as impressed with a distro since the first ubuntu. Its just a rock solid base, awesome defaults, and kde being delightful.

The data in the link is clear that the opinions are always partisan based on the very last person shot at... that does track.

Ha, fair enough. I forgot entirely the essence of that tweet, but I was really getting swept away with AI code at the time and probably was projecting my experience onto his tweet. I guess vibe-coding isn't what I like doing.

By whose definition? Yours? That seems circular.

What are you talking about? Literally, what?

Because I just linked a source: As part of the raid, some U.S. citizens were temporarily detained and children pulled from their beds, according to interviews with residents and news reports. Building hallways were still littered with debris two days later.

What was these citizens crime besides living in apartments in Chicago? Flash bangs, guns, zip ties, and being detained until proven innocent. What did they do to put themselves in that position? Was I wrong to say its poverty?

Or do you mean they should have been rural poor? Or white and poor? What was their trespass?

I'm not talking about "by and large", I'm not talking about "may at times". These are real lives of citizens with "inalienable rights"

If you think state sanctioned violence is permissible, tell it to Nuremberg

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-border-patrol-raid-sweep... Is this a source you approve of?

I am in good faith, I'm sorry that discussions about reality are impolite and seem crass. These aren't non-plausible, its reality.

I'm guessing your mom doesn't place herself in situations like being in poverty in Chicago. Lucky her

A gun in your mom's face is a gun in your mom's face. I don't think those kids will find any solace in that being state sanctioned.

Sit down. The right wing is actively zip-tying entire apartment complexes of poor people, even US citizens, while pointing guns in their faces. Thats violence, and exactly what the left has been ringing the alarm for for years.
