iwontberude··on For first time, a cell built from scratch grows and divides
I agree with your conclusion. We start by enslaving certain classes of humans like Peter Thiel or Elon Musk. Anyone with more than $1B gets the collar. Populism is a helluva drug.
iwontberude··on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron Sued in US over Memory Price Fixing
I am an idiot, sorry for wasting your time with confident bullshit.
iwontberude··on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron Sued in US over Memory Price Fixing
I stand corrected, thank you!
iwontberude··on Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron Sued in US over Memory Price Fixing
Ahh you are right, not sure where I got that from…
iwontberude··on Qwen 3.6 27B is the sweet spot for local development
> I don't think coding is one

Certainly this is falsifiable easily by any of us doing it on a regular basis

> Qwen stuck in thought loops

This does happen when context is not managed effectively; creating plans, using subagents and compactions strategically resolves this

iwontberude··on Om Malik has died
lmao welp
iwontberude··on OpenAI leans toward waiting until next year for IPO
By saying it’s false you are also spreading a rumor that OpenAI is goated by us defense. The reality is we don’t know the truth. But since we are spouting off rumors: Government could have given them a national security letter that says, “send all of your prompts and response data to a mirror run by NSA”
iwontberude··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
I guess Microsoft makes consumer electronics and (as much as it makes me shudder to say it) is a peer of Apple. I agree it’s not fair to Apple to draw comparisons with Microsoft given the sheer amount of damage they’ve done to the world.
iwontberude··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
At least you are getting paid money because you’ll never be paid respect for leaning on LLM here.
iwontberude··on The Exhaustion of Talking to a Tool
It’s because large language models give a variable reward and it’s essentially an addiction that many people have not even recognized.
iwontberude··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
Not a chance… our backlogs are exploding with AI. The review work is so massive we are hiring to handle it.
iwontberude··on Elastic lays off 7% of employees
Obama was a corporate stooge and neoliberal fuckhead who had majority in the senate and the house and spent his time fighting to pass a republican health care bill and wage illegal wars. I am a democrat but never ever will fall for that trick again. A fool can’t get fooled again.
iwontberude··on Elastic lays off 7% of employees
lol everyone quit using elasticsearch for opensearch. Elastic use to be pretty cool but that was over ten years ago.
iwontberude··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
Social implications are really hard to shake, but I agree it’s basically a lost cause fighting at this point. I’m hoping like Ed Zitron that it fails via some more durable reason.
iwontberude··on Jobs and Software Is Fucked
I think you might not get the context this is coming from, it’s about a game developer laid off from Blizzard not wanting to partake in the technology that will justify layoffs of their friends. Pretty straight forward to me.
iwontberude··on Apertus – Open Foundation Model for Sovereign AI
It’s been cooked for longer than Trump. Al Gore won in 2000 and they stole the election. Everything that followed has been a complete fuckfest.
iwontberude··on Show HN: Recall – Local project memory for Claude Code
Bc frontier models are expensive and summarization is basic af
iwontberude··on Bootimus – A Self-Contained PXE and HTTP Boot Server
I didn’t realize people were talking about self hosted. For public NetBoot.xyz: Even if they deliver isos matching publicly available checksums, you can’t trust they won’t inject kernel parameters unwittingly. If I was a cyber criminal I would find NetBoot.xyz a fine place to build out a bot net.
iwontberude··on Bootimus – A Self-Contained PXE and HTTP Boot Server
That’s fine I guess
iwontberude··on Bootimus – A Self-Contained PXE and HTTP Boot Server
News to me, this seems reasonable
iwontberude··on 15-minute at-home Lyme disease tick test
The whole trick to life is that none of this matters and if you can hold it together long enough it’s still enjoyable to be alive and to die.
iwontberude··on Bootimus – A Self-Contained PXE and HTTP Boot Server
It’s so sketch… anyone who trusts NetBoot.xyz is asking to be pwned. You need to serve your own iPXE files and cached ISOs.
iwontberude··on Bootimus – A Self-Contained PXE and HTTP Boot Server
NetBoot.xyz is one of the most sketch projects on the internet, yeah nope nope nope.
iwontberude··on Ubisoft co-founder Claude Guillemot has died in a plane crash
So many nerds here in Silicon Valley love to fly small aircraft, it’s an autistic comorbidity. You’ll never catch me acting so foolish.
iwontberude··on Big Tech is borrowing like never before
And they are expanding money supply like crazy and not too long ago ended quantitative tightening.
iwontberude··on AI Engineer Claims to Have Cracked Linear A
Actually it’s the flattening of achievement to be some guy, Claude or a combination of both when really it was neither.
iwontberude··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
Whether they should or not is a moot point. They are using it and we need to figure out how to organise society to deal with it.
iwontberude··on AI Engineer Claims to Have Cracked Linear A
I exist in both camps. Claude can’t launder human achievement into a different person. Claude stole it, but it’s still in Claude’s possession and is not transferable in any durable sense.
iwontberude··on Amateur may have cracked Linear A
Actually it is because Claude did the work and being a lay person isn’t really that high of a bar.
