5701652400··on What AI did to stackoverflow in a graph
same story for blogs
5701652400··on Your 'app' could have been a webpage (so I fixed it for you)
really? did you even read T&C of that app?

5701652400··on Understanding the Go Runtime: Profiling
I have nothing against AI blogs. Ideally it saves cost, so my AI does not need to waste compute to generate all that. We all likely have same models (Fable vs Sonnet vs Deepseek tiers of course) which produce same result for same input. So just save yourself tokens.

If it is human-reviewed AI blog, even better.

And if my AI can collaborate and improve/build-up/fact-check that article, perhaps our AIs working in GitHub Issue on those (which is a missing link now). That would be even better.

5701652400··on UTC and Atomic Time
And there is also TAI (Pure Earth Atomic Time), and GPST (GPS Time), Galileo Time (GST), BeiDou Time (BDT) — all strongly monotonic sequences of atomic seconds with different frozen offsets. All using weighted averages of different atomic clocks somewhere. Fascinating.
5701652400··on UTC and Atomic Time
Also, "which is a weighted average of hundreds of atomic clocks worldwide". Guess even for atomic seconds clocks may go at different speeds due to realitive effects. Really fascinating.
5701652400··on Telegram's t.me domain has been suspended
which one then?
5701652400··on Telegram's t.me domain has been suspended
hm, tbh for me Squarespace is the most professional and ad-free UI (compare to Godaddy, and others)
5701652400··on UTC and Atomic Time
Very interesting to learn that UTC is not purely atomic time, as in sequence of same-lengh seconds defined through atomic vibrations. But starting 2035 UTC will become such strongly monotonic sequence of atomic seconds. There is some beauty in this simplicity.
5701652400··on Telegram's t.me domain has been suspended
squarespace is legit. GCP cloud domains are moved to them.
5701652400··on Show HN: Shirei, cross-platform GUI framework in native Go
they are useless too. 99.99999% of normal people do not open terminal in their entire life nor do not even know what that is. get out and touch grass, friends.
5701652400··on AI 2040 and the cult of intelligence
blurring lines of definitions, I see. you can call a potato a freedom, if you wish. this is just counter-productive. arguing about definitions is dangeours slippery slope.
5701652400··on Against Usefulness
relatable. my AR apps (visionOS) are also in prototype/exploration/useless stage despite successful iOS/Android/web, pretty much like whole platform except few usecases like movies (wall-gardeneed). doing literally nothing and looking around in visionOS is one of my favorite features (tastement to good technology, lack of market, and walled garden, which is a shame).
5701652400··on Show HN: Shirei, cross-platform GUI framework in native Go
true to that. looks like AI took shortcuts and avoided real work and real hard problems. might as well just flip a random bits for cpu hours.
5701652400··on Show HN: Shirei, cross-platform GUI framework in native Go
so it is not cross-platform? or all available platforms are... desktop.

serious vibes of shortcuts and avoiding real hard work that brings real value.

5701652400··on Show HN: Shirei, cross-platform GUI framework in native Go
cross-platform is overstatement.

can I run it on Android? iOS?

no? then 99.999999% of real world users cannot access it. and if it is desktop oly, what is the point? it is no better than web.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok Build CLI Actually Sends to xAI
same here. API access + low price is why I am using Chinese models
5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
no analysis. only based what I see in VSCode tool calls.
5701652400··on AI 2040 and the cult of intelligence
my point is: any talk of "freedom" when you are a corporate slave or living on government handouts is nonsense

it is all wannabe lemon-stand freedom.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
using them in VSCode all the time for months now. Qwen from Alibaba Cloud, Deepseek from deepseek.com. none of them upload entirety of codebase or even attempt to.

in fact, opposite. Chinese AI seem to post-process heaviliy locally.

they are always using head / tail, grep, sed, and do as much as they can locally and extrac meaningful data and send home (AI inference chunks). only what is really needed.

it is actually hard to force Chinese AI modesl to read full files, they really do not want to see them. even 400 lines files, is usally hit first for first line, first 50 lines. and at most 200 lines chunk reads, and give up at one or two reads.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
exactly. looks like this is what they doing
5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
there is difference between:

A) leaking structured fully working complete set of files (full working recipe) that is not relevant to AI queries at all.

B) adhoc random queries, bits and pieces, grep of chunks of random files and local bash post-processing for AI queries at hand. which is hard to use for anyting anyways, and will end up in just corups of trainig data (CommonCrawl quality — meaning, not good). (not full recipe).

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
key point: Grok is not even using the files they upload.

they send home entirety of codebase that they do not even use for user AI queries.

and why use cloud AI for coding? how is this even a question in 2026? if you don't, you can't compete with somone who does use it.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
they are literally going after "creating everything app" and "everything business" (macrohard).

they are litearlly ingesting and integrating your app/business into theirs.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
will this endup in their "macrohard" (automate any business) project?

will this endup in their "everything app"?

guess you do not need to build "everything" yourself, when you can steal it.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
more like it allows them to steal your trade secrets, app designs, internal business knowledge, or even just replicate whatever code/app/tool/process you had.

what was your private code, becomes their code now.

5701652400··on What xAI's Grok build CLI sends to xAI: A wire-level analysis
haha so they just stealing entire codebases?
5701652400··on AI 2040: Plan A
so 2027 was supposed to be singulariy? lol
5701652400··on AI 2040: Plan A
+1 this 2027/2040 AI articles are devoid of real-world practical economic/finance thinking. nor even human psychology.
5701652400··on AI 2040 and the cult of intelligence
start first with securing your own food without govenrment nor employer.

then start talking about freedom.
