guzfip··on AI Will Be Met with Violence, and Nothing Good Will Come of It
> I hate cars way more than I hate AI, but relieving horses of the burden which they carried and the gruesome lives they lived... that's not one of my objections.

I’m so glad those horses got a peaceful retirement at the glue factory.

I wonder what they’ll process your corpse into. Soylent green? Or do you think you’re one of the lucky horses that a wealthy owner take care of?

Gee almost like someone you don’t want in your society at all.

guzfip··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
No peace for grifters. Flush them out of the country.

And I mean all of them, left wing, right wing, corporate. I am sick of every level of power in the country being filled with lying grifters. I don’t care what happens to them, as long as they’re gone.

I feel like I’m living in a circus.

guzfip··on EFF is leaving X
> They want mass deportations for unassimilated migrants, i.e. people who don't speak German, don't work, commit crimes, etc.

Indeed, wish we could do the same with insular Jewish communities in the northeastern US that siphon off welfare while running fraudulent charities that are basically a way to siphon money from unexpected natives across the country.

It sounds like it’ll just kill the wheat and the chaff.

Still probably a benefit depending on your philosophy.

Yeah, I’d like to be able to register to vote without doxxing myself. I’d like to have a little privacy protection to myself even when I’m out and about, but these sorts have decided I get neither.

Fuck these parasitic scum. They deserve as much privacy as they offer me.

guzfip··on Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men?
> seems regional. in the pnw i have male friends who wish they went into nursing

Hah, most of the people I know in the field, especially on that end of are desperate to get out of nursing. One was pursing some sort of environmental engineering degree.

The pay looks ok on paper, but the hours are apparently horrendous.

guzfip··on Women are getting most of the new jobs. What's going on with men?
- nursing: I don’t want to work 60-70 hours a week at your horrific body shop of a PE asset

- teaching: unruly kids. Bully’s get protected and those who stand up get punished. There’s some level of societal distrust of men around children not their own.

- social work: you’re exposed to some of the worst most horrific side of society constantly for peanut pay. You’re constantly in a position where you want to help people, but are constrained by things far outside your power.

Yeah I don’t care how “masculine” you try to frame them, just not interested.

guzfip··on Maine is about to become the first state to ban major new data centers
> electric bills have literally doubled in the last 24 or so months

To all the dopes wondering why people hate your data center contribution craze so much this is why.

Don’t know why it needs to be spelled out so explicitly. It’s obvious to anyone with an IQ above room temp. I’ve seen it all over the country at this point. People are really made when their bills get real expensive.

guzfip··on Top laptops to use with FreeBSD
FreeBSD WiFi is certainly fun.

Some years ago, I was workig with FreeBSD on an old laptop. The laptop had a wireless adapter that ostensible should be supported, but was not.

After some digging, I realized the driver was just missing some PCIe device identifiers. I added them to driver and bam my WiFi is working without issue.

I tried to submit a bug report and patch, and it got positive feedback at first any changes even got committed. But then I learned why it’s better to not even try.

Apparently this was a known issue, but only in the heads of the FreeBSD wireless developers. They had their reasons for not adding the device, but the reasons did not appear to be documented in mailing lists or docs until my thread. At that point I realized it’s not worth it to try and contribute to such large projects as I just lack the decades of institutional knowledge of the system.

Anyway, I’m not sure it ever got released. I believe there’s an umbrella bug somewhere left after the version my patch supported went out of support.

guzfip··on Study found that young adults have grown less hopeful and more angry about AI
Crazy thing is before AI the same people spamming Show HN with stupid worthless SaaS products that went no where beyond the submitters GitHub account. “Hey check out my shitty CRUD app because I have minor annoyances with some other shitty SaaS that everyone hates yet remains the market leader”. “Now rewritten in foo.js and Rust”.

It wasn’t impressive when you wrote it by hand, it’s still not impressive when an AI does all the work for you.

Mocking the former is now culturally acceptable on HN, the latter not so much.

guzfip··on Who is Satoshi Nakamoto? My quest to unmask Bitcoin's creator
> It's against the current ruling dogma to question that human beings are interchangeable cogs that are all ready to be placed into the machine wherever needed.

It’s because the machine is their god. Service to the machine provides your value, and by extension your right to exist. If someone is no longer capable of the serving the machine, they are discard. What that looks like exactly is not pretty

Some people are inherently incapable of proving more value to the machine than they consume. What is to be done with these “extra” people?

guzfip··on The $400K Degree Is Broken. Here Is How to Fix It
> It is not enough to say “I started the environmental club.” The bar is: “I led a restoration project, secured a third-party grant, published peer-reviewed research, and earned a recommendation from a community leader who worked directly alongside me for over a hundred hours.”

Wealthy may not been 100% correlated with well connected, but there’s a lot of overlap. And being well connected is wayyy more useful than any fucking phone or LLM for the presented examples.

When I was a kid my parents were too broke and too busy for us to involve ourselves in extracurricular activities. It wasn’t until the latter half of my senior year of high school I was able to convince them to let me anything of that sort.

I guess with the model at least you guarantee very small class sizes.

> They should just say they'll never release a model of this caliber to the public at this point and say out loud we'll only get gimped

Duh, this was fucking obvious from the start. The only people saying otherwise were zealots who needed a quick line to dismiss legitimate concerns.

> Why does it sound like you're on drugs, specifically cocaine?

This has basically been what all of Silicon Valley sounds like to me for a few years now.

They are known for abusing many psycho-stimulants out there. The stupid “manifesto” Marc Andreessen put out a while back sounded like adderall-produced drivel more than a coherent political manifesto.

Anyone played much with Jetbrain’s LLM agent?

I’ve been toying around at home with it and I’ve been fine with its output mostly (in a Java project ofc), but I’ve run into a few consistent problems

- The thing always trips up validating its work. It consistently tries to use powershell in a WSL environment I don’t have it installed in. It also seems to struggle with relative/absolute paths when running commands.

- Pricing makes no sense to me, but Jetbrains offering seems to have its own layer of abstraction in “credits” that just seem so opaque.

Then again, I mostly use this stuff for implementing tedious utilities/features. I’m not doing entity agent written and still do a lot of hand tweaks to code, because it’s still faster to just do it myself sometimes. Mostly all from all from the IDE still.

guzfip··on Goldman Sachs to laid-off tech workers: take time, earnings loss to find new job
> We ‘joke’ that we’re one layoff away from exiting the IT field altogether. I’d happily leave it all behind but it would mean further salary cuts while the price of everything increases. And I’m considered one of the ones in a good position. There are entire generations of workers who will be fighting over Walmart jobs just to get insurance.

Indeed, a few years ago I considered making a leap to elsewhere, but damn near anything I’ve ever considered as a career is basically a dead end now. All that’s left is a direct downgrade.

But he’ll, maybe I can get a nice gig as Sam Altman butler if I invest in sycophantry skills enough.

Maybe 7-8 years ago I met an Iranian. They were genuinely shocked I wasn’t a cowboy hat wearing racist when I told them I was from the south.

I grew up in the Atlanta area.
