Bilal_io··on Dear Customer, Fuck You
is it really a joke against AI? To me it seems to be against data privacy violations and abrupt terms of service changes that give users no alternative.
Bilal_io··on GPT-6 Astra
> the toolset we get exposed to is not what’s available in the labs

Do you have a source for this?

Bilal_io··on US Consumer Price Index up 4.2%
It's about the worth of what I am receiving from my employer and nothing to do with spending it.

If John makes $100k and lives on $10k, then cost of living increases by 100%. I believe John should be paid $200k, and according to you his salary should go to $110k.

I hear you, but there has to be some balance between full immunity and no immunity at all. The one thing that comes to mind is rich and powerful people, because they have unlimited resources to sue and ruin the lives of cops, judges and politicians, which would lead to these officials avoiding to hold rich and powerful individuals accountable even when they have committed crimes.
Bilal_io··on Gemini CLI will stop working from June 18, 2026

Bilal_io··on Scrcpy v4.0
I had a screenshot of my keyboard, I opened it on my computer and zoomed in to match the size of the phone and traced the keyboard on a piece of paper. Then I cut off the letters I needed and typed my password to unlock the phone.

Amazing piece of software. I discovered it very recently when my screen OLED stopped working.
Bilal_io··on Agentic AI systems violate the implicit assumptions of database design
A query created by a human and reviewed by at least 1 other human becomes static after it's merged. But the query from an LLM is dynamic, it can change between two calls in the same session if the LLm sees a reason to change it, and there is no review pipeline and QA stage.

This is the "lesser evil" trick politicians use to silence the opposition.
Bilal_io··on SpaceX says it has agreement to acquire Cursor for $60B
It's more useful to have access your full code base compared to having access to only your input and the output they generate.
Bilal_io··on Claude Design
The folks at Wall Street do not understand this does not replace Figma.

Figma is targeted towards designers who create thoughtful design systems and cohesive UIs and who don't code, while this is targeted towards vibe coders who can't design. Two different circles that intersect to some level.

But like you said, if anthropic adds the tools in Figma, only then they can can take customers from Figma IMO.

Bilal_io··on Google boss says AI investment boom has 'elements of irrationality'
> The other thing I worry about is the level of violence we're likely to see if a significant chunk of the population is made permanently unemployed.

No worries, they'll just make AI robots to shoot people.

Bilal_io··on YouTube addresses lower view counts which seem to be caused by ad blockers
Not sure what the technical challenge here is either. I use an ad blocker and I assumed YouTube already counted my view, since the video can be found in my YouTube history.
Bilal_io··on Becoming the person who does the thing
I think it has to with the audience, or a platform. A young farmer would probably pretend to know a lot and even talk to impress if you put an audience in front of them.
Bilal_io··on Browser Fingerprint Detector
It depends on the browser you're using, Brave is obfuscating a lot of this info, for me using Brave on Android it shows 100% battery while my actual battery is 62%.
Bilal_io··on Launch HN: Uplift (YC S25) – Voice models for under-served languages
Congratulations on the launch! I really hope it doesn't get used to launch misinformation campaigns against the country.

Bilal_io··on Show HN: Kitten TTS – 25MB CPU-Only, Open-Source TTS Model
Not sure what the size has to do with anything.

I send you a 500kb Windows .exe file and claim it runs literally everywhere.

Would it be ignorant to say anything against it because of its size?
