GypsyKing716··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
Chuckle bus, if you hit up the Tor site with their version of the truth.
GypsyKing716··on 4TB of voice samples just stolen from 40k AI contractors at Mercor
Its weird how 404 looks a lot like Claude Code CSS output itself. Is it just me?

AI generated and submitted Ycombinator story?

GypsyKing716··on UAE to leave OPEC in blow to oil cartel
Worst case for the Middle East - OPEC is disolved.
GypsyKing716··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Is there any need for developers in Iran for remote work to help the country's efforts to reconnect to the outside world?
GypsyKing716··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
Reddit is more toxic than even Facebook to be honest. I've posted something just in discovery questions for something I'm building and immediate was banned from the group. First time on Reddit, first time in that group.

Has happened in two other same type situations. Find it super territorial and toxic TBH.

GypsyKing716··on 65% of Hacker News posts have negative sentiment, and they outperform
Its called discourse, and its healthy.
GypsyKing716··on Amazon Says It Will Cut 14,000 Corporate Roles to Remove Layers
Flatten the organization, I'm assuming.
GypsyKing716··on U.S. government takes 10% stake in Intel
Government is starting to be to big to fail. Living in the Great Lakes region its just the reality of it, as the geopolitics of the region are outplayed by idiots in other parts of the state.
GypsyKing716··on Show HN: I spent 6 years building a ridiculous wooden pixel display
Sounds like a huge waste of time.
GypsyKing716··on The time bomb in the tax code that's fueling mass tech layoffs
Love articles that are 39 pages long with one paragraph and 3 ads per page. mmmm.. good journalism.
GypsyKing716··on Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Ya, but we rely on so much from Sask to Montreal on border money.
GypsyKing716··on Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
We need to just deal with some squirrels in the pack looking for nuts, but I think Poilievre if he wins will fix the West Coast problems tuque-svet
GypsyKing716··on Mark Carney is the new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
Sorry to hear this news. I don't want to spoil the party, but the bucking heads between both countries, especially as a border town dual-citizen, its only going to make living in the Canada that much more difficult for me. The US economy is 9x bigger and with a population of 45M vs. 325M+ - its crazy. Ontario dominates the political spectrum (just a point of fact, not of affiliation) it doesn't allow for collaboration across the provinces. BC and AB are booming, and Ontario just keeps stagnating their innovation trains and economic prosperity and we're likely to see this continue into the future as Toronto and Ottawa just dictate the population as a whole from a central "neck of the woods" thinking.

God save the King, but at what cost?!

Love you Americans. I'm sorry, we're assholes when it comes to nationalism sometimes, but its just going to be difficult for a few years for us.

GypsyKing716··on Should managers still code?
whats a manager? I have an AI for that!

flat orgs win.
GypsyKing716··on Gource: Software Version Control Visualization
Nope.
GypsyKing716··on All I Know About Certificates – Certificate Authority
https://www.openca.org/ <-- old school OpenSSL with some scripts to setup a closed loop CA. Dated, but gives you some bare bones fun stuff.
GypsyKing716··on Porn Sites Need Age-Verification Systems in Texas, Court Rules
You can't legislate freedoms. You can try, but we've always had the tools to subvert (most likely legally on the federal level) and skirt the unconstitutional (face value, not a lawyer) nature of such things.

I'm a Christian, and live within my belief structure, too. BUT the path to redemption is either a chicken finger sub if you are a secularist, or a pulpit if your God fearing individual.

I just can't stand politicians who have 0-faith that try to leverage it without consulting those on the opposite side of the idle that need that Adam and Eve 12" whatever demonstrated on pr0nh0rb.

GypsyKing716··on Vice website is shutting down
Nobody really cares about Vice, because of the politic that just didn't make sense anymore. They stopped making good content like a decade ago.
GypsyKing716··on Reindeer sleep and eat simultaneously
So they are zombies.
GypsyKing716··on Cash Cows
Dead link. things actually can get DoS'd in 2023 by HackerNews traffic? :-D
GypsyKing716··on The next power plant is on the roof and in the basement
To me, its just a jobs creation program and not an energy reduction strategy by the US government. The incentives are around 55% (state in Federal combined where I live) at this point until 2033, and what program gets subsidized like that, unless its an absolute failure to start with?

I get solar, technically. I don't get the business of it ...

GypsyKing716··on Big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says
Ironically enough, one just has to watch a history of Louis Rossmann's (think Right to Repair, youtube.com personality - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl2mFZoRqjw_ELax4Yisf6w) videos about his rent / lease in the commercial space of NYC, to understand how the equations work. I think the city and state governments are the bigger issue. The collusion meets with government bureaucracy as well. This doesn't seem to be a unique situation, but in NYC and the exodus of big tenants in the city matched with post-COVID beliefs that costs will remain high turns out for a toxic environment there for business at least.

Naturally the "Rent is TO damn high" guy from a few election cycles ago (look on Google for that) is also the case.

I don't know how the used car market and rental market will return to what it was before for a forseeable future.

GypsyKing716··on Show HN: HN Resume to Jobs – AI Powered Job Matching Tailored to Your Resume
I didn't know this about ChatGPT - brokers of user data, trading data collected for compute. As interesting as this is, there's a lil bit of an interesting public policy and computer technology for fair use of one's personal data. No expert, but might be a slippery slope long term, so highly suggest you get a checkbox in there with some sort of absolvement in liability between your app and the user's resume.

Other than that, it's like all good things - 80% of it is the button click, while the last 20% is proofing the final result and correcting the model so the machine can learn.

God Speed man. Love new tools.

GypsyKing716··on Why are so many young Americans adopting fake British accents?
Com un bruv. You barly undr stund hur stru'gools.
GypsyKing716··on OpenAI CEO warns that GPT-4 could be misused for nefarious purposes
I guess I've been re-injected into the Matrix and now I'm wondering why this chicken sandwich I'm eating tastes weird.
GypsyKing716··on Early morning university classes linked to poor sleep and academic performance
By thinking this way - I gained 30 lbs, developed a little drinking habit, and stopped bathing .. wife stopped giving me the "social" attention, and I withered socially. HOWEVER, I got a 6-figure job, an MBA, a Master's in Physics, and a hell of a lot smarter. That took 4 years to do, but took 4 years off the end of my life, I'm sure.

In the long run though, the >adversity< experience that is the human condition trains us to be hard. I'm not talking about body wise, but in fortitude. We weren't meant to be given everything on a silver platter, yet here we are in modern society.

You don't have to go all "liver king" on this one, but recognizing that a healthy dose of day-walker ain't so bad. I returned to the day-walker realm about 3 months ago and have since dropped 20 of the 30, drink about 1x a month (best I can tell that trend will continue) and I actually give a sh*t.

I don't want to say this is wrong, but its a cautionary tale about taking the uphill battles as a challenge to sharpen you for the time you really meet adversity.

GypsyKing716··on Ask HN: What is your replacement for Google search
ChatGPT. Simple.
GypsyKing716··on Tell HN: Thanks and hats off to all the non software engineers
I hate to say this from an engineering stand-point, but that's because the nature of programable circuits and the systems that are derived from them. Thinking in terms of the plight of Bell Labs and how the demise that made them filthy rich, but also started the end of their company. I think you're wrong on a few levels, but mostly undervaluing the nature of how software on embedded systems are infinitely changeable. It's where hardware like SDR USB devices have yet to really be realized, but they almost future proof your hardware. Why innovate in hardware? You don't have to anymore for decades and still find useful ways to flash remote systems and exponentially make them useful. I have a 1st generation Amazon Echo - the thing is so over-engineered it'll last another decade and services will still work on it.

I value hardware, but I value versatility more.

GypsyKing716··on Elon Musk owns Twitter: The story so far
As we get older, the world gets older with us. The tides are softer, the lines are much more graceful, and the disruption is only in our minds.

We disrupted the old ways of thinking, so the new ones had a path to walk upon. Let us not fret, as this is the way of the world.
