VCFundedGenYer··on People Training OpenAI's AI Fired for Using AI to Train the AI
Bubble bursting behavior in action - AI company that pushes everyone to use AI, replace everything and everyone with AI, fires people for using AI to make the AI.

The more you think about it, the worse it gets.

VCFundedGenYer··on Smart Ring Maker Oura, Backers Seek $2.2B in US IPO
It's more or less the same precarious position Pebble had in the very early 2010s. When Apple Watch came out, they were wiped out.
VCFundedGenYer··on Will Open Source Survive the Agents That Replaced It?
What?

Author (which seems like AI) has no idea what open source even means.

VCFundedGenYer··on Robin Williams' Daughter to Fans Creating AI Videos: 'Have Some Shame'
That's frankly a rather incorrect broad statement, and is pretty disrespectful to content creators.
VCFundedGenYer··on Apple Mac mini review
The deciding factor is the battery.

When it balloons, it's time to ditch the machine.

VCFundedGenYer··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
LLMs are not sources.
VCFundedGenYer··on Gravity Linux Alpha Release: Linux on the M4 Mac Mini with GPU and DCP Support
Seems to be 100% entirely different, as Asahi uses Arch, this is on Fedora.
VCFundedGenYer··on Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac
Not exactly.

What is "root" in macOS is more or less a power user role. Apple took away the true ability to operate as root a long time ago with System Integrity Protection which walls off the critical parts of the OS from the user entirely.

Unfortunately, SIP also restricts basic system functions that are trivial in other OSes. Apple made this very difficult, and MS would have loved to do this in Vista had they not received the backlash that they did.

VCFundedGenYer··on Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac
I want the disk space taken from the models back.

I will never touch this garbage and would rather use the disk space I purchased to be used for my purposes, not the industry's pointless fad bubble endeavors.

VCFundedGenYer··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
Use "Old Reedit Redirect" for Firefox - it still lets you in without a login.
VCFundedGenYer··on macOS 27: Workaround to avoid downloading AI models and save storage
They need an option to completely disable and delete Apple Intelligence.

A 256GB Mac Mini is effectively unable to use macOS 27 due to this bloated nonsense.

VCFundedGenYer··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
Codeberg existed before Linux became AI sloppified.

It's hard to turn a large ship around.

VCFundedGenYer··on In September, AI generated code has made up 17.25% of all Linux Kernel patches
This is awful. Linus Torvalds really surrendered the kernel to AI slop. He was warned, and he made nasty comments to those who called him out, but he owns this mess now.
VCFundedGenYer··on Ask HN: Is it impossible to disable Siri on macOS 27?
I've love to disable Apple Intelligence just to get the space back. It's murdering my Mac Mini.
VCFundedGenYer··on Raspberry Pi blocks changing RAM chips
The entire point of the RPi is the user can do whatever they want with it.

So no, it's not reasonable at all.

Buy an Apple product if you want what you're stating.

VCFundedGenYer··on Raspberry Pi blocks changing RAM chips
Rich of them to claim that "users will complain" when their platform is built for hobbiests and tinkerers. What a terrible stance.
VCFundedGenYer··on Ogre Battle 64 Recompiled Project at 99.05%
This is not a true recomp as it is being done by DeepSeek. Do not touch this.

All AI recomps are not to be used, nor considered true recomps. They likely contain stolen or copyrighted code.

VCFundedGenYer··on What happened to the Snowden archive
He got stuck in Russia. He didn’t flee to Russia. Don’t twist facts.
VCFundedGenYer··on Why do we need human mathematicians anymore?
What's up with these insanely off base articles on HN this morning? Every single one of these is an unhinged pro-AI anti-human schlock piece.
VCFundedGenYer··on I'm Tired of the AI Tone
I'm also tired of people who write articles with weird incorrect grammar.
VCFundedGenYer··on If AI coding is lowering your code quality, you're not managing quality right
That makes no sense. Garbage article.

If an LLM makes a good codebase bad, you can't in good faith blame the coders. You blame the LLM.

VCFundedGenYer··on KDE turns 30 and someone's brought an AI-native desktop proposal
Pretty sure KDE said no AI period. This won’t stand.
VCFundedGenYer··on Can you tell which images are AI-generated?
Impossible to do on a phone. Zooming in is misinterpreted as a choice. Fix the game.

Also the time limit is stupid and pointless.

VCFundedGenYer··on How Hacker News ranking works: scoring, controversy, and penalties (2013)
Again, not a thing if you are on the site I mentioned.
VCFundedGenYer··on How Hacker News ranking works: scoring, controversy, and penalties (2013)
This falls apart completely if you’re like me and only see the list presented on brutalist.report which is strictly chronological and with zero algorithms.
VCFundedGenYer··on I captured 72 hours of idle Android packets behind pfSense
Seems like you used AI to steal the results from the same experiment done a decade ago to be honest. Heard this story in a YouTube video long ago.
VCFundedGenYer··on I captured 72 hours of idle Android packets behind pfSense
This isn’t new. The disgraced Lunduke did this same test nearly a decade ago and observed the same results. Android is malware disguised as a consumer operating system.
VCFundedGenYer··on AI Safety Is Mostly a Sex Cult
It's a dupe and was a story last week.
VCFundedGenYer··on Show HN: LiveWorld – Every 24/7 YouTube live camera on one globe
I know for a fact we have at least 30-50 live weather cameras in my area (Windy.com shows em) and this site shows absolutely none of them.

Gotta work on your discovery more.

VCFundedGenYer··on Dear Customer, Fuck You
It wasn't written by a person, so it's invalid.
