nisegami··on Driver accused of DUI tracks missing laptop to Illinois State trooper's house
Quoting the article:

>In court filings, attorneys representing the state and Bradley have argued Holland's lawsuit should be dismissed as the trooper has "sovereign immunity" as a member of law enforcement, and that it was a "lawful" traffic stop.

nisegami··on Zed 1.0
So you trust a build they say doesn't have AI features, but not a switch that they say turns off the AI features? Doesn't seem like a logically consistent stance to me.

Plus, you can just packet sniff and see if they're doing anything AI related when the switch is off.

nisegami··on Fusion Power Plant Simulator
I wonder if it will one day be practical to emulate photosynthesis and use renewable power, captured CO2 and water to produce biofuel that could then be used at a later time.
nisegami··on Kimi K2.6: Advancing Open-Source Coding
The choice of example task for Long-Horizon Coding is a bit spooky if you squint, since it's nearing the territory of LLMs improving themselves.

So is my P=NP proof.
nisegami··on Claude Opus 4.7 costs 20–30% more per session
>IMHO there is a point where incremental model quality will hit diminishing returns.

It's not necessary a single discrete point I think. In my experience, it's tied to the quality/power of your harness and tooling. More powerful tooling has made revealed differences between models that were previously not easy to notice. This matches your display analogy, because I'm essentially saying that the point at which display resolution improvements are imperceptible matters on how far you sit.

nisegami··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
I believe that Nanoclaw uses Claude Code under the hood actually, at least in V1.
nisegami··on Two Months After I Gave an AI $100 and No Instructions
I think the concept you're talking about has been described as LLM attractor states. Here's a LW post about it for Deepseek v3 https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/rvbjZMp6aEDn2jiyp/mapping-ll...
nisegami··on Helium is hard to replace
I recently began wondering if a planet's helium supply could be the 'great filter'. As in, if a civilization could stall out due to not having access to enough helium to product the technology to access off-world helium.
nisegami··on The Vercel plugin on Claude Code wants to read your prompts
This and the comments here make me even more sad that they ended up acquiring the Nuxt project/team :(
nisegami··on The Importance of Being Idle
Excellent points. In my small island country, prices mostly come down to being labor-dominant or material-dominant. The former is cheaper* than the developed world, whereas the latter is more expensive* than the developed world.

*compared using nominal exchange

>The best I’ve found is to track relative migration pressure - where do people want to go?

I like this approach. It's much more holistic and captures stuff that really cannot be quantified with prices and numbers, like freedoms and rights.

nisegami··on The Importance of Being Idle
I always found it interesting that homeless folks in the US seem to live in tents a lot of the time, but in my country they rarely have more than a piece of cardboard. I don't know if my perception is incorrect, or if I'm ready too much into this, but my conclusion has been basically what you said: at every socio-economic level, the people at that level have higher standards of living in developed countries than in developing countries.
nisegami··on Help Keep Thunderbird Alive
I use Thunderbird on both Linux/Android as my sole client for personal email. I'm mostly pretty happy with it, aside from search. My use case is mostly receiving email rather than sending email however. I would be much more amenable to donating if I knew that my donation would be going to support Thunderbird specifically and not rolled up into the parent MZLA Technologies Corporation, but I understand that's usually impractical.
nisegami··on ML promises to be profoundly weird
Here's the opening paragraph of chapter 2 with "people" subbed out for terms referring AI/models/etc.

"People are chaotic, both in isolation and when working with other people or with systems. Their outputs are difficult to predict, and they exhibit surprising sensitivity to initial conditions. This sensitivity makes them vulnerable to covert attacks. Chaos does not mean people are completely unstable; most people behave roughly like anyone else. Since people produce plausible output, errors can be difficult to detect. This suggests that human systems are ill-suited where verification is difficult or correctness is key. Using people to write code (or other outputs) may make systems more complex, fragile, and difficult to evolve."

To me, this modified paragraph reads surprisingly plainly. The wording is off ("using people to write code") and I had to change that part about attractor behavior (although it does still apply IMO), but overall it doesn't seem like an incoherent paragraph.

This is not meant to dunk on the author, but I think it highlights the author's mindset and the gap between their expectations and reality.

But we also got roads and hospitals.
nisegami··on Discontinuation and reinitiation of dual-labeled GLP-1 receptor agonists
This makes it even more fantastic that the supply of GLP1s from my country's only legal importer is spotty and I've been suddenly cut off twice already
nisegami··on Time to Dump Windows?
The biggest benefit I saw from switching off Windows was 'peace'. I no longer had to care about whatever Microsoft was doing to make my life as a Windows user worse, I could simply use my computer as I wanted.
nisegami··on MoD sources warn Palantir role at heart of government is threat to UK security
Of course not, the grandson is hard at work on his own sins.
nisegami··on Polymarket gamblers threaten to kill me over Iran missile story
The insiders exposing their info to non-participants is also a feature of these markets.
nisegami··on Peter Thiel's Antichrist Lectures
Unfortunately, he's not on a park bench covered in his own piss and is instead the puppet master behind the VP of the US and a large chunk of the tech sector.
nisegami··on Show HN: LogClaw – Open-source AI SRE that auto-creates tickets from logs
>A human SRE never manually detects an error - we already have well-established anomaly detection implementations and wiring them to some ticket generation tool is also an established pattern.

I'm currently dealing with fallout at job because we were doing all this with humans with no alerts and we missed a couple major issues. This product could have prevented a lot of stress in my case, but it'd be a bit like a bandage on a missing limb.

Unemployment numbers about to drop like a rock.
nisegami··on Enable CORS for Your Blog
>There, now it's secure? ;)

CORS achieved its objective here, because now those requests were coming from your PHP server rather than the user's browser.

nisegami··on AI is not a coworker, it's an exoskeleton
Why would I when I can have openclaw do that for me?

The Europeans didn't refrain from creating colonies in the Americas after learning it was already inhabited.
nisegami··on Unsealed court documents show teen addiction was big tech's "top priority"
Not realistic to reply to all your replies re:youtube, but they've absolutely added some features to mitigate bedtime use and at least for me they were opt-out rather than opt-in.
nisegami··on Two kinds of AI users are emerging
I find myself in both groups depending on the project/task. I wonder what to make of that.

I don't think it's part of the joke

Recognizing the US federal government is behaving in a way consistent with facism is no longer a left leaning position.
