pacman1337··on Kimi K3: Open Frontier Intelligence
Likely won't improve much. They trained on every text already.

what interest rate are they offering?
pacman1337··on How Kalshi Infects the News
Adults should have the freedom to gamble if they feel like gambling. I don't like the government trying to daddy me. If I want to blow my money on some stupid bet that is my problem. As long as the rules are clear and fair then it should absolutely be legal. CNN not disclosing is bad, but that has nothing to do with gambling in general.
pacman1337··on Launch HN: Manufact (YC S25) – MCP Cloud
stopped using mcp and mostly using skills now. can't understand what this product does or how it could help me.
pacman1337··on An entire Herculaneum scroll has been read for the first time
Where is the direct English translation? I don't care about anything else.
pacman1337··on .gitignore Isn't the only way to ignore files in Git
another way is to use shortcuts
pacman1337··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
Good point, I didn't consider that.
pacman1337··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
Companies should just stop providing AI to police states like Germany. Apparently their citizens believe anything they read.
pacman1337··on German ruling declares Google liable for false answers in AI Overviews
First comment that makes sense. Of course AI needs to be verified. Of course it gives bs answers. The answer is to educate the public not try to daddy then. I hope AI is completely banned from Germany for their protection since apparently their government doesn't believe its people know how to question AI.
pacman1337··on Claude Fable 5
Yeah I noticed that too. For 98% of tasks I get same results with DeepSeek, it is starting to just be a branding game. It is incredible how marketing can get someone to pay 100x for same thing you can get for 1x.

This is why Claude Code just doesn't make sense to me. I need an agent that can plan using Opus and execute using DeepSeek or something else.

pacman1337··on Social media bans for teenagers lack evidence and pose risks, scientists say
This exactly the issue. Anyone with common sense knows that social media have many negative effects, attention span, negative beliefs and ideas, addiction, etc. Just like inhaling smoke into your lungs can't be healthy right? But then comes so called scientist who say well since we thought the the universe was Euclidean but now we see it is non-Euclidean what is common sense is not common sense, there is no common sense. We need some sort of impossible proof to what was originally common sense.
pacman1337··on Social media bans for teenagers lack evidence and pose risks, scientists say
this is why science credibility is going down, what we call science is abused. This is like saying smoking has no evidence it causes harm.
pacman1337··on Elon Musk boosted false USAID conspiracy theories to shut down global aid
propaganda
pacman1337··on EU fines Temu €200M for allowing sale of illegal products
The past making quality clothing was difficult, cutting it right, sourcing the right patterns designs materials, stitching it took care etc. In our world making quality clothing should be easy with all the technology but what we see in bad quality that you wash a few times and it is trash. It is uglier designs than in the past etc. It makes no sense. It is like a conspiracy where people don't want to sell quality clothes at a fair price. Like all companies got together and decided we will sell crap clothes at cheap prices and good clothes at extortion prices. There is zero correlation with actual costs.
pacman1337··on The current AI pricing was always going to go away
I get similar results for deepseek and opus but opus is way faster. I guess deepseek streams thinking and makes it slower?
pacman1337··on OpenAI Is Preparing to File for an IPO Soon
A lot of people don't understand that creating a startup is not about having the best product in the market. It is about convincing people to part with their money and give it to them to control and gain power with, through having people work on what you want them to work on. Only requirement is you create a story of why they should give you money. Even if it is the dumbest idea and you will be lose all it in 3 years. If you can tell a convincing story you will still make yourself and your friends super rich.
pacman1337··on Judge sides with ICE tracker creators in DHS/DOJ First Amendment lawsuit
wasn't there something similar with people tracking celebrities planes?
pacman1337··on Turn your best AI prompts into one-click tools in Chrome
I need skill to block ads
pacman1337··on One item purchased, ten emails
pretty soon we won't be reading books or emails. We have have AI filters. Maybe we won't even be reading our friends or partners message either, mostly fluff anyways?
pacman1337··on GitHub appears to be struggling with measly three nines availability
The irony no one is talking about: AI makes quality code worse. Was bad enough already so imagine it now. I am expecting many more services to drop from 3 nines to 1 nine.
pacman1337··on Edge.js: Run Node apps inside a WebAssembly sandbox
Not sure I understand the use cases. I'm guessing people want to run unsafe nodejs code. Either cloud providers like for lambdas or on personal computer for AI coding? On cloud why is this better than firecracker, firecrack can run any programming language this is just nodejs so already useless for that use case?

For personal computer, people worried about the spin up time of docker? I think that is more of a tooling issue where you spin up one instance and run multiple jobs.

What am I missing? What are actually real use cases where this would be better?

pacman1337··on I have written gemma3 inference in pure C
Anyone using this model for something useful? For now I only have use cases for top performing models...
pacman1337··on Mozilla's open source AI strategy
You probably like watching ads because Firefox is only browser you will have a true ad free experience. Unfortunately Firefox is slower than chrome has less support for audio, copy pasting is broken etc. So I use both depending what I am doing.
pacman1337··on Mistral OCR 3
what prompt are you using?
pacman1337··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang backtracks after saying China will win AI race
Don't believe is lie, it is looking like the AI race is gonna be China + regular people verses rich oligarchs. American corporations including NVIDIA are just trying to extract as much money i.e, trying to empowered themselves at the cost of humanity. China is open sourcing their AI and creating their chips based on RISC-V to benefit all humanity.
pacman1337··on Google Removed 749M Anna's Archive URLs from Its Search Results
If you don't have access to massive amounts of digitized books you are at a significant competitive disadvantage i.e, AI + RAG is a game changer for consuming technical content. That last piece of the puzzle I am missing for my setup is being able to digitize the books as markdown + latex for mathematics equations, right now it is just expensive.
pacman1337··on Annas-archive.org not accessible in the UK
I wonder if in the long run countries that ignore copyright end up with some sort of advantage. All copyright restrictions only effect 1) the poor 2) the uneducated

i.e, the ones that would benefit the most from annas-archive.

pacman1337··on Claude Memory
Dumb why don't say what it is really is, prompt injection. Why hide details from users? A better feature would be context editing and injection. Especially with chat hard to know what context from previous conversations are going in.
pacman1337··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
But Binance founder doesn't work for Binance anymore so why pardoning founder help Binance?
pacman1337··on I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'
what exactly are people doing to run un trusted code? You guys run npm run from docker? Do you have example? Do you use VM? Anyone have examples of their setup?
