greenoracle9··on DARPA, U.S. Air Force fly AI-controlled F-16
"AI-controlled" sounds like an unmanned fighter, but there was still a pilot in the cockpit who could take control.
greenoracle9··on Do we just want slaves?
Everyone has some work they would gladly automate. I wouldn't call it "slaves". More like an underpaid staff.
greenoracle9··on Why is it so hard for the U.S. to win wars?
It depends on what "win" means. The US can win the opening military phase pretty decisively. The part that keeps failing is turning that into a political end state that can survive after the shooting slows down.
greenoracle9··on Who's Subsidizing Chinese AI
Interesting. There is state-linked capital, big tech, VC, and foreign/sovereign money.
greenoracle9··on Proof of Care in the Age of A.I
A long handwritten essay used to at least prove someone spent time on it.
greenoracle9··on Japan develops a method to recover up to 90% of lithium from used EV batteries
A 90% recovery process does not help much if most batteries never make it into the right recycling stream in the first place.
greenoracle9··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
I expected this to be mostly about Apple being angry that OpenAI hired its hardware people, but the complaint sounds more specific and obviously it is still only Apple’s side for now.
greenoracle9··on Successful Companies Go Blind
Success makes the old playbook feel safer than it really is.
greenoracle9··on Odin, Wikipedia and engagement farming
The awkward part is that modern software communities often do not produce the kind of durable secondary sources Wikipedia wants.
greenoracle9··on Stop Killing Games fails to secure EU law despite 1.3M signatures
Calling this a failure seems a bit unfair. The signatures forced an official EU response, even if they did not produce a law.

The disappointing part is the voluntary industry code. Publishers are not being asked to run servers forever, only to avoid making paid games completely unusable after shutdown.

At what point does buying a game become nothing more than renting access until the publisher changes its mind?

greenoracle9··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
$60B is a huge price, but buying Cursor gives Musk something xAI has struggled to build: a popular coding product with real developer and enterprise adoption. It may be the fastest way to catch up in AI coding. The real question is whether SpaceX ownership improves Cursor or drives its users away.
greenoracle9··on Ask HN: Which cheap Chinese LLM are you using?
The main reason I'm using Chinese LLM is cost. Minimax M3 is a good deal with large context window. But, M3 jumps into implementation too quickly even when a task is clearly defined. It misses tests or edge cases, and occasionally lose track during longer work.
greenoracle9··on What I have done with Claude Code in the last 60 days being a non tech person
the next step should be unifying ai + human. but how? i don't know.
