ChatGPT released in 2022. We been promised to reach AGI in 2024, then 2025, then 2026, then 2028. It is 2026 and we still do not have AGI. In 2028 we will have jump to 40% in ARC-AGI 4, and you will say "Oh it's been less than 6 years since ChatGpt thing".

Thank you! Will you release winners code?

ivanstepanovftwon $30B for laptops yielded a generation less cognitively capable than parents

This is probably misleading information. Kids and their parents aren't responsible for their math performance. Teachers are. Especially the ones that demotivate their students.

ivanstepanovftwon Briar keeps Iran connected via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when the internet goes dark

You should not fight against companies, they do not have bad intention.

The government can block Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with jammers. Russian government already does this in schools during exams, and already doing it around important infrastructure.

Focus on fighting against governments.

Hero.

ivanstepanovftwon Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

Russia tested this in production by blocking Shadowsocks https://habr.com/ru/news/770840/

ivanstepanovftwon Ask HN: The government of my country blocked VPN access. What should I use?

This is no 'nothing special' with Obfs4proxy. DPI sees it as random byte stream, thus your government can decide to block unknown protocols. Instead, you should trick DPI into thinking it sees HTTPS. Unless your government decides to block HTTPS.

ivanstepanovftwon Guid Smash

Sorry, when I was young I did not know what these `public static final UUID` mean, so I copied them.

ivanstepanovftwon It seems like the AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges

What do these crawlers gather? Just make this data accessible via API calls or direct database download, like Wikipedia did (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download).

ivanstepanovftwon Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?

Not a humor for me. I have lost myself. I have removed this line from my bio because it causes bad associations to me with this journey of finding myself.

As for the author of the one-year-old PR, he was surprised:

ivanstepanovftwon Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?

The only out-of-GitHub interaction was as Zulip chat, where I asked maintainers to review and merge it [3], and another one to Ali, telling him my feelings about getting banned for closing my contributions, discussing further actions.

Two deleted messages on ZSF had this content:

> SPIR-V at master is still broken. I tried to help Zig. But PR never gets merged. I had to update it 3 times. It lasted for a month. I have updated all SPIR-V dependencies. You don't care about SPIR-V anyway, why I was threatened this way?

> Sorry for my contributions.

I was really disappointed when I wrote this, and I thought that nobody should see this to not harm maintainers and the project itself, so I deleted them. Then I got banned on Zulip without a reason.

I just wanted to make Zig closer to 1.0 release.

Zero opportunities as of now.

ivanstepanovftwon Ask HN: Have you ever regretted open-sourcing something?

My worst experience is to submit two decent PR that was ignored by maintainers. I had burden to support them for a month, solving merge conflicts, solving new bugs in the main branch that were merged without testing, and to adapt test system to prove my changes are solving something.

And then I saw that maintainer not just ignores but closes every else PR with these words:

> your contributions are too undisciplined and difficult to review. please just make sure there are issues filed for the problems and let a core team member or other contributor solve it. [1]

I have directly asked maintainers to merge at least one PR [2], because I see someone is in the middle of refactoring whole backend, but got ignored.

I have rage closed all my contributions and made most of my projects private. I think I will never go open ever again.
