Zopieux··on Who owns your ATProto identity?
It has all the tells. There are websites which list them, please search "LLM tropes".
Zopieux··on Who owns your ATProto identity?
So annoying to read. Meanwhile, the key information ("backup key with higher priority") is mentioned in a sentence without any kind of elaboration or link to some follow-up/how-to.

Performative UI unnecessary green status dot: check!

Slop websites are getting very old very fast.

Zopieux··on The founder of Craigslist has given away half a billion dollars
The world can't run on random philanthropy. You don't become a billionaire through hard work alone but through exploitation at scale.

Tax the richs, or eat them.

Zopieux··on Reviving Papers with Code
Everyone is, see https://vorpus.github.io/performativeUI/#/components/status-... (satire of obvious slop-UI building blocks) and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48445554
Zopieux··on Buy a train, bridge or tracks from the Swiss Railway
This. The general concept of "terrible public transport tech disguising as a good & novel idea" has a name: gadgetbahn.
Zopieux··on Upcoming breaking changes for npm v12
Eh, that only took a few dozen actively exploited supply-chain vulns in the span of two years!
Zopieux··on Grit: Rewriting Git in Rust with agents
Regardless, what's the point?
Zopieux··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
I realize you're being witty for comedic effect but aren't you genuinely curious whether this was something trivial or a complex systems interaction? The few times an LLM debugged something for me, it only took 10s to ask for a summary, and I learned something new and interesting every time, even useful at times.

I don't understand not wanting to understand.

Zopieux··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
I've had so few issues with Linux compared to Windows over the past 10y. This is a ridiculous and dated take.

Even stuff that was truly a no-go is fixed (nvidia/cuda, wine/proton for gaming).

Zopieux··on Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?
Don't leave us hanging, what was the issue?
Zopieux··on Codex just found a "workaround" of not having sudo on my PC
I don't understand why anyone still uses docker.
Zopieux··on 1-Bit Bonsai Image 4B Image Generation for Local Devices
Great.
Zopieux··on Orchestrating AI code review at scale
Is the price reduction in the room with us right now?
Zopieux··on Dynamic Workflows in Claude Code
Who, beyond Anthropic themselves, can afford such purposefully wasteful uses of LLMs?

"the model sucks a bit so we just have best-of-4 & adversarial reviewing agents; surely one more agent will do the trick"

Zopieux··on Investigating how prompt politeness affects LLM accuracy (2025)
Finally, being an actual dickhead gives me that 4% edge over polite knuckleheads!

Who could have thought that a metric would become a target

White executives in their late 60s cannot care less, they'll be dead by then
Zopieux··on Models.dev: open-source database of AI model specs, pricing, and capabilities
Publishing a table without filter features should be illegal
Zopieux··on Throwing AI-generated walls of text into conversations
Same for AI music, images, videos.

I created a few songs that I enjoy, but I would never subject anyone from having to listen to it (or worse, deceive them into thinking it's a human creation).

Zopieux··on The memory shortage is causing a repricing of consumer electronics
Well, not if you believe that all future software will be slop.
Zopieux··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
I realistically don't see what other future there is. Either disconnect or adopt anti-grievance local AI, lest you be bombarded with ads and slop everywhere.

The first thing you install on your browser is uBlock, is it not?

Don't get me wrong, I hate this timeline, but the monster is out the box and there is no putting it back in.

Congrats Minnesota and good luck with enforcement.

I sincerely hope jj gets the recognition it deserves in coming years.
Zopieux··on Radicle: Sovereign {code forge} built on Git
Somehow never heard of this before. It's even packaged in NixOS so I'll probably set up an always-on node.
Zopieux··on Radicle: Sovereign {code forge} built on Git
I saw https://radicle.dev/2025/08/14/jujutsu-with-radicle at the bottom of the homepage and assumed it meant Radicle was planning to support a native jj protocol to decentralize jj repositories. That's unfortunately not the case.

Is there a plan for jj repositories in radicle proper? I'm very tired of git shortcomings.

Zopieux··on Leak reveals Google's Aluminium OS with a 16-minute video
Looks like Android with extra animations and "use AI plz" prompts. What am I missing?
Zopieux··on Debian must ship reproducible packages
A great milestone, congrats Debian on taking a stance and holding high standards for yourself, especially in the current era.
