it··on Nativ: Run frontier open models locally on your Mac
I ran it with Qwen3-8B, and it responded to all input in the chat with

Could not connect to the server.

it··on GPT-4.5
There's also a standalone Grok app at least on iOS.
it··on CEO of AI Music Company Says People Don't Like Making Music
I picked up the cello about a year ago and already it's more enjoyable than most other things I do. The idea of replacing that with AI is silly. Why stop doing something I love?
it··on Safe Superintelligence Inc.
"We are assembling a lean, cracked team..." Perfect.
it··on How we built JSR
It was just a search away. https://docs.deno.com/deploy/tutorials/vite
it··on How we built JSR
I'm making an app with a Typescript+React front end and a Go back end. While in local development, I serve it with Vite. Could I use Deno in place of Vite+Node?
it··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
How does that happen if the display is right up next to your eye?
it··on Vision Pro: What we got wrong at Oculus that Apple got right
Isn't one of the biggest problems with these VR headsets the nearness of the display to the eye? It seems like prolonged exposure to this would result in myopia that would worsen faster than it does when exposed to screens that are farther away.
it··on Vision Pro teardown part 2: What’s the display resolution?
Isn't it going to give people a terrible case of myopia to have a screen this close to their eyes?
it··on Latest ChatGPT 4 System prompt (1,700 tokens)
gab.ai lets you choose the AI character you're talking to, so you're not stuck with artificial race balancing or whatever political rectitude is fashionable.
it··on LIPS: Scheme based Lisp interpreter in JavaScript
I like the idea, but got this when I tried to run it on my Mac:

> lips node:internal/modules/esm/resolve:853 throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(packageName, fileURLToPath(base), null);

it··on I Hate MFA
And isn't it ominous how it's "Multi" and not just "Two"...
it··on GQL – Git Query Language
And it will be called "geequal".
it··on Inflation Appears to Be Over
Well sure, because inflation comes from loans, and with high interest rates people are less inclined to take out loans.
it··on Don't build AI products the way everyone else is doing it
To view this page without the annoying animations, I recommend printing it to PDF or paper. Safari reader mode doesn't work on it.
it··on Preview of CLion Nova, which uses the ReSharper C++/Rider C++ language engine
Kotlin does this.
it··on Global CO2 Levels
That's really interesting. Thanks for providing something substantial.
it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
Right, simple arrogance.

I refuted flat earthers, and I learned why they think what they do, and why I think it's round.

Arrogance is not an argument.

it··on Global CO2 Levels
Fair enough, so 4 of them are not molecules with three atoms.

However, that leaves two that are: ozone (O3) and NO2 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2). Are you saying these are in fact greenhouse gases?

it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
Hacker News routinely allows shill pieces written by guys sponsored by people advocating the climate catastrophe narrative. I haven't seen those getting flagged.
it··on Global CO2 Levels
Here are six counter-examples provided by GPT:

Molecules with three atoms that are not considered greenhouse gases include:

Ozone (O3): While ozone does absorb some solar radiation, it's primarily involved in blocking ultraviolet light from the Sun, rather than acting as a greenhouse gas in the way that CO2, CH4, or N2O do.

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): Although it's a significant air pollutant and plays a role in smog formation, it is not primarily considered a greenhouse gas.

Nitric Oxide (NO): Like NO2, nitric oxide is more involved in air pollution and is not considered a greenhouse gas.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2): This compound is more known for its reactive properties and is not considered a greenhouse gas.

Carbon Monoxide (CO): While carbon monoxide can have indirect effects on global warming by reacting with other substances in the atmosphere, it is not itself considered a significant greenhouse gas.

Iodine Trichloride (ICl3): This is a more exotic example and not commonly found in the atmosphere. It is not a greenhouse gas.

Okay, he wasn't the president, but he was the 7th provost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_E._Koonin
it··on Global CO2 Levels
Where is the data that supports your claim that CO2 is a greenhouse gas? How do you know what the Earth would be like without it?
it··on Global CO2 Levels
Fine, how about this? "Since 1880, average global temperatures have increased by about 1 degrees Celsius (1.7° degrees Fahrenheit)"

it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
Another cowardly downvote by someone without an argument.
it··on Global CO2 Levels
This got downvoted but whoever did it failed to provide a counter argument.
it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
Bias is possible on any topic. How do you know Epstein's claims are false? Can you debunk a single one with evidence?
it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
You can ask "qui bono?" about people who believe the Climate Change narrative as well. For example, here's $5 billion allocated to this sort of thing:

it··on Why many scientists are now saying climate change is an all-out 'emergency'
Why not show the arguments and allow the debate to happen? Maybe we'd all learn something.
it··on Global CO2 Levels
This sharp rise of global CO2 level, combined with the small rise in global temperature of 1 degree F over the past 100 years [1], is evidence against the idea that CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
