Digital Ocean just committed 3 million dollars to a vibe coded slop linux distro (Omarchy), they sell $15.00 a month Postgres containers and don't donate a single bit of employee time, or money to Postgres.

This solo dev, River Adèle Champeimont, donated 40k (or more) to Postgres, as much as Microsoft and AWS.

Why are we funding slop AI linux distros to the tune of millions of dollars..

"Omarchy is like

say you took an explosive device and you put that explosive device in an unlocked box that doesnt stop you from opening it and poking around at the wiring and then you gatekept everyone that doesnt have explosives training from using the box by not selling it setup so they have to know how to set it up first

and then someone started setting up the box, and selling it to people as an easy to use entry level explosive device to people with no explosives training

and then they blew their hands off by detonating it in their hands, or they opened the box because they got so comfortable using the box that they decided they are explosives literate, asked gpt astra how to reconfigure the box to have a shorter det time, and astra told them to cut the det cord down to 1 tenth the size and then they detonated the device in their hands again

and then when you tell people theyre stupid for doing that, they assume you just dont want them to have access to the explosive device for elitism reasons and not because they literally lack the ability to use it safely"

-- funny messsage someone sent me.

incorrect, no idea where you're getting this pricing. Also, output does not matter. its 10% of the cost.

The Uyghur thing is so weird, the number one killer of Muslims is the United States. We're supposed to hate China because they force them to go to cultural schools and assimilate, a practice countries like Norway still do to this day with migrants.

There are more people who go to church on Sundays in China than the United States. There are 10x more mosques in China than the United States.

Tiananmen square was a student revolt literally egged on by cold war western institutions, who attempted to use chinese students as pawns for geo-political games.

Westerners really need to rethink their opinions on China, it seems obvious to me they are not the ones to be worried about (although, all governments do tons of harm).

This post doesn't even allege this...

Weird of you to turn technical discussions into weird nationalistic debates. Maybe lay off the X algo, I think elon has oneshot your brain. .

Gromov’s soficity conjecture isn't even mentioned in the article you shared.

Why are you saying that this article explains it much better than the tweet that you clearly didn't even read..

It's hilarious how people think they care about their reputation, and wouldn't circumvent ZDR policies. Like bro, they literally covertly hired Apple employees and had them steal IP and equipment form Apple. They aren't scared of Apple lawyers, so they definitely aren't scared of yours.

I don't see it. I sit in a mild state of rage trying to decode llm prose all day, this isn't it.

what part?

People saying design is dead or good UX doesn't matter anymore.

1. Are sloplords.

2. AI companies that sell the idea that AI can replace your designer, are still paying 100k retainers to designers for their landing pages lol.

3. People will probably replace backend engineering before they ever replace design, because they will want to seem more human.

4.Handmade watches, and handmade luxury clothing is one of the biggest markets on earth, almost as large as tech itself. I really don't think that urge for the handmade, made by someone with wonderful tastes is ever going to disappear.

Also, no great designer used tailwindcss. This is made by and for slop lords. Which is most of HN, you people have no taste.

What are you talking about, there's still a market for handmade watches from switzerland. Literally nobody values AI generated UX. Except people with terrible taste. I see it and I email you and tell you how ugly it is.

The billion dollar AI companies saying desgin is dead are still hiring 100k retainer designers to do their landing page.

You simply have terrible taste if you think otherwise.

Uhhh.. They actively particpated in the sluaghter of over 10k children in the last two years and fired all their employeess who spoke up regarding it.

Cool we should maybe change those laws then, these definitions of privacy came about in a world where there weren't cameras on everyones face and front porch.

The US government, the 4th reich, cannot be trusted with these tools, especially their law enforcement.

Sure you will little bro. You signed away your right to arbitration a long time ago.

You realize OpenAI hired Apple employees and covertly had them stay working at Apple to steal from them. You think they're scared of your lawyers lol?

Yes. You're naive if you think any of these cloud providers care about your data when they're all in the midst of a AI revolution psychosis. They dont care about their reputation or what you think of them, they think they're going to have a machine god their side.

The factories that supply the equipment, maintain the equipment, the energy inputs, the financials of those mines are not automated.

People on hackernews are actually some of the dumbest people on the internet. This place is worse than lesswrong.

Sure, but why would the organizations managing ETFs employ the same low cost agents + their own insights and provide a better return.

You think a model with an effective memory of 200-500k words, that can be unplugged, is going to "run the world" You people gotta put down the sci-fi

How do you automate the mines to get the raw materials to make the compute from, and build additional fabs that take a almost a decade to stand up. You're actually delusional.

By the way, the company that made it's entire product off of stealing all data it could get it's hand on while violating copyright and pirating, is not all of a sudden going to respect your data. If you think OpenAI or any major AI lab is going to give you true ZDR, I have a bridge to sell you.

hmm gate keeping the database to elitist institutions and private businesses, I'm excited for the future!

Come to me when you have 500 trades and can beat Vangaurd's-VOO over a multi year time frame. Ill bet my entire networth and all future earnings for the rest of my life that your bot doesnt beat it. Your llm induced Dunning Kruger is going to get you in trouble one of these days I promise.

In the late 90s and early 2000s the NSA and other US intelligence agencies underwent massive efforts to basically privatize the gathering of intelligence. Its a lot easier to fund your "total information awarness" initiatives via public markets and private investors than to ask congress for money to do so. So they did just that.

"In 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contacted Unspam Technologies, asking, "Do you have any idea how valuable the data you have is?" The DHS' email served as the impetus for Cloudflare, a technology company Prince co-founded with Holloway and fellow Harvard Business School graduate Michelle Zatlyn the following year."

--Matthew Prince's Wikipedia page.

Dont for a second think cloudflare's generous free tier offerings are out of the goodness of their heart. They're a giant fkin MiTM project for the US governemnt. And of course, cloudflare isn't the only one.

Lmao, you llm people have some crazy delusions. You realize markets are zero sum, and if you're using a public model that everyone else also has access too, you llm psychos will destory eachothers "agentic" edge (not that there ever was one). Not to mention all the other obvious flaws with llms, lime having an effective memory of ~200k words and no ability to judge whats actually going on in the real world.

Umm, every USA company blocks North Korea, Iran and often Cuba.

One guy blocking a single country is not at all problematic.

Did you make this post under a sock acct just to promote this?

With a custom skills workspace in mininote

https://mininote.ink/docs/mcp-docs

Agent can use mcp to update its own skills, or I can copy template skills into local dorectories via the api. Very useful, like notion on steroids but is completely free.

What do you mean, I didnt make it up... Its detailed on the archive.today wikipedia page.

The media barrons in the west have bribed the US government to pursue archive criminally on their behalf for helping people bypass paywalls.

https://www.theverge.com/news/815691/fbi-subpoena-archive-is...

archive.today has been targeted by Western institutions, like the FBI, for over a year now. Which signals to me they are the good guys.

your statements are wildly misinformed, you can't make claims about geopoltics because you've read a few delusional reddit threads. The US was extremely active in supporting the Syrian opposition, we literally funded the entire operation, like what reality are you living in.

Your opinion on Russia/Ukraine is clearly skewed by NATO propaganda, which I wouldn't blame you for, most people have had their minds colonized by NATO propaganda, after all, NATO has a literal newsletter called "Cognitive Warfare" where they candidly brag about it.
