blactuary··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
I wonder if the company that stole most of their training data and is led by a liar stole unpublished academic work and lied about it. What a mystery
blactuary··on uv: Deduplicate all files in the wheel cache
This is exactly the kind of brief summary I was looking for to get my team more organized, thanks for this

blactuary··on About 60k migrants arrive in Ceuta in 24 hours, Spanish territory's leader says
why would you link to that xenophobic garbage account
blactuary··on Grok Build is open source
Scroll through his twitter account and you won't make it more than a couple days without something racist

Also, after Elon bought Twitter, when people called me the n-word and I reported it, moderation said no rules were broken and no action would be taken. Before he bought twitter that was not the case, they'd be banned. So you can buzz off with this nonsense. I won't break any rules and say what should be said.

blactuary··on US and Iran announce deal to end military operations
The experience of the last 10 years with these dingbats in charge is an incentive for every country to pursue their own nukes
blactuary··on xAI is looking more like a datacentre REIT than a frontier lab
Writing this:

> In comparison, SpaceX/xAI are incredible at building datacentres on time. The original Colossus 1 datacentre was built in 122 days. Musk's empire does have a huge advantage in really understanding how to plan, build and execute enormous infrastructure projects quickly

Without even mentioning that it was done illegally and the air pollution they are creating with gas turbines is wildly irresponsible

The goal of this isn't simply to raise revenue, it's also to discourage parking money in empty properties when it's one of the most expensive cities to live in and doesn't have enough housing

In another post he's quoting Curtis Yarvin. Can't say on here what should be said

blactuary··on Marc Andreessen's dangerously unexamined life
"If I were introspective, I'd have to admit that I was really lucky, I am not special, and that the govt funded the things that helped me get rich. I'd also have to admit that my current worldview and that of my peers/friends is inherently evil and we are destroying the world. So instead I'll just pretend introspection is bad."
blactuary··on I traced my traffic through a home Tailscale exit node
When I work at the local coffee shop I cannot SSH to my remote servers for work on their wifi, but if I connect to Tailscale and use my exit node at home I can. Lifesaver
blactuary··on I'm betting on ATProto

Not having to make a Google login would be a big benefit to me. Google is getting their data early
blactuary··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
This is ridiculously oversimplified, because there is no real market in housing. It is illegal to build in all of the places people want to buy. The purchase of housing by hedge funds isn't a problem on its own, it's simply a symptom of the bigger problem of supply restrictions.

The funds themselves say in their financials that they view housing as profitable because of the various restrictions on supply in every desirable city. They explicitly say that if those restrictions were lifted they would not be able to make money in that business and they would exit.

blactuary··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
There is absolutely artificial scarcity in the housing market, it is one of the biggest problems we face as a country
blactuary··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
Incumbent owners preventing the construction of more supply to maintain their own property values is not "free market". This is very basic stuff
blactuary··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me – more things have happened

blactuary··on Editor's Note: Retraction of article containing fabricated quotations
He's on the AI beat, if he is unaware that a chatbot will fabricate quotes and didn't verify them that is a level of reckless incompetence that warrants firing

It's not off topic to point out that the company being discussed is evil and should be put out of business
blactuary··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me – more things have happened
Some companies have enough of a track record that they should be nuked from orbit, and "Company bad" is all that is worth saying. Meta is one of those companies. Palantir is another. Not holding them accountable and acting as if we should continue engaging with their products is part of the reason we are rapidly sliding towards dystopia
