moogly··on We Will Not Be Divided
If they're truly principled, and these are true red lines, given no other recourse, I would be impressed if Anthropic decided to shut down the company. Won't happen, but I would be smashing that F key if they did.

The other two definitely never would in a million years.

moogly··on We Will Not Be Divided
We have international laws and rules of war. We have weapon treaties (well, some of them are expiring). Sure, not everyone is signatory, or even follow the conventions they have ratified, but at least having these things in place makes it even remotely possible to categorize and document violations and start processes towards rulebreakers and antihumanist actions.

So I looked into what they cooked up in 2023, plus which countries signed it (scroll down to a link to the actual text). It's an extraordinarily pathetic text. Insulting even.

moogly··on USA to cut Anthropic from government contracts in six months
They could consider reincorporating in Canada. That'd really make DJT boil.

If we're going to have to rely on self-regulation for this, we're already doomed.

This. They even put a "wArFiGhTers" in there.

moogly··on Tesla registrations crash 17% in Europe as BEV market surges 14%
Audi stopped Q8 e-tron production in early 2025. I don't know how much allocation the US has had of the semi-replacement (S)Q6, and A6 was not launched at all.

Q4 is a bit weird, since it's just a more expensive ID. 4, and not exactly more premium. Actually less premium feel than the sister car Skoda Enyaq, but that's not available in the US.

They're a bit out-of-phase with BMW and Mercedes right now, who just opened the books on their new platform cars. Perhaps you could argue it was bad timing with the Q6 being a bit of an "inbetweener", but the PPE platform was delayed, to be fair.

moogly··on IDF killed Gaza aid workers at point blank range in 2025 massacre: Report
Indeed. Vouched but it won't last for long.

As shablulman's inexplicably dead post says, this is very impressive work analyzing this unquestionable war crime.

moogly··on Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics
That fake indignation doesn't change the fact that you equated two cameras with two eyes, and if we're going that hard on semantics, you used the word produce for the cameras.

> One camera can't really produce depth/distance information, but two cameras sure can.

moogly··on Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics
You're forgetting the nervous system and the brain connected to those eyes (and vestibular system).
moogly··on Electrobun v1: Build fast, tiny, and cross-platform desktop apps with TypeScript
Other distros than Ubuntu are out of scope[1], so not usable for me, sadly.

I wish I had the time, but I don't. Feels shitty, but what are you gonna do.

moogly··on Windows: Prefer the Native API over Win32
Yikes. Are they going to rename the language to "cyg" also? Does not inspire confidence.
moogly··on CBS didn't air Rep. James Talarico interview out of fear of FCC
Yeah, sorry. I should've said they're doing regime sanewashing the right way, to paraphrase Ezra Klein.

NYT is doing well because of Wordle and all other games; their journalism is a joke.
moogly··on GrapheneOS – Break Free from Google and Apple
It sorely needs to break free from the lackluster Pixel hardware. The OEM announcement can't come soon enough (and I hope it's Motorola).
moogly··on I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?
They seem to have stopped talking about AGI and pivoted to ads and smut.
moogly··on I fixed Windows native development
Indeed. As late as 2 hours ago I had to change the way I build a private Tauri 2.0 app (bundled as .AppImage) because it wouldn't work on latest Kubuntu, but worked on Fedora and EndeavourOS. So now I have to build it on Ubuntu 22.04 via Docker. Fun fun.

Had fewer issues on EndeavourOS (Arch) compared to Fedora overall though... I will stay on Arch from now on.

moogly··on Ask HN: Do you think humanoid robots will outnumber humans by 2035?
The projected world population by 2035 is around 8.9 billion. I don't know how many humanoid robots (capabilities undefined) we have today, but any we do have are not likely going to be in operation, but it has to be below 1 million, so let's just round down to 0 for simplicity's sake.

So someone's going to have to build just shy of 1 billion robots per year that can be robust enough to remain being operable 9 years later, starting now. What do you think?

Did you perhaps type a 0 when you meant to type a 2?

Can anyone start calling anything they make and do "frontier" to make it seem more impressive, or do you need to pay someone a license?

So you're screwed if you don't have any connections. In that way it's just like meat space.
moogly··on OpenAI exec becomes top Trump donor with $25M gift
Not to defend this fiend, but it might be because the White House got mad at him and his wife for first donating $50M to another society destroying super PAC.

Still means he's more than fine with fascism.

This is why people using the "voting with your dollar" argument need to never use that ever again.
