pityJuke··on OpenAI signs $38B cloud computing deal with Amazon
And they own the compute, as opposed to renting some of it. And they have the engineers to utilise that compute.
pityJuke··on FFmpeg dealing with a security researcher
it’s very… sad, i guess, watching a lot of software engineering discourse on social media (at least, what I see from Twitter) just become this attention grabbing shitposting. ffmpeg is very much a big player in this field, and it has paid off handsomely - those tweets are often popular on site, and shared across other social media.
pityJuke··on Uv is the best thing to happen to the Python ecosystem in a decade
There is an optional & experimental code formatting tool within uv (that just downloads riff), which is what OP may be referring to: https://pydevtools.com/blog/uv-format-code-formatting-comes-...
pityJuke··on Counter-Strike's player economy is in a freefall
> players grinding out matches just to get random loot box drops

I mean... what you have is people operating rooms full of computers running automated bots to farm drops (and presumably accounts to sell later) [0].

pityJuke··on I see a future in jj
Off-topic: I found it very surprising the Logical Awesome website still works.
pityJuke··on A Word on Omarchy
Is this a deeply petty article? Yes. Is it wrong? I can’t see anything indicating that.

Either way, I appreciate the opinionated and researched review. It was a good read, and certainly highlighted some of the ways Omarchy is… odd.

(Also, the JavaScript is annoying, especially when reading on a phone which backgrounds the tab when you lock it…)

pityJuke··on Marc Benioff: I no longer believe National Guard is needed for SF
In 2025, with a Trump presidency, and the majority of mainstream tech at least acquiescing to him, he would have faced massive difficulties expressing this point?

In all honesty, if he hadn’t backed down he would have faced zero important repercussions.

pityJuke··on No I don't want to turn on Windows Backup with One Drive
Personally, I use ShutUp10!, and after running it once, it settles everything down and Windows is my preferred OS experience.
pityJuke··on Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26
no, that's using it wrong.

- "they cooked [hard]" is positive

- "they're [hard] cooked" is negative.

- "let them cook" means let them work, they'll do something positive.

- "someone cooked here" [0] has become a TikTok meme for positive things

pityJuke··on Meta Superintelligence Labs' first paper is about RAG
What model(s) have Meta released since the Lab re-org?

Also, that wasn't based on purely hearsay, Zuck explicitly said:

> We believe the benefits of superintelligence should be shared with the world as broadly as possible. That said, superintelligence will raise novel safety concerns. We'll need to be rigorous about mitigating these risks and careful about what we choose to open source. Still, we believe that building a free society requires that we aim to empower people as much as possible. [0]

pityJuke··on Google just cut off 90% of the internet from AI – no one's talking about it
i thought most of the major ai vendors (excl google) used their own crawlers and indexes, or licensed from a non-google company
pityJuke··on User ban controversy reveals Bluesky’s decentralized aspiration isn’t reality
Yeah. I’m not a big short form social media person, so a world with or without Bluesky (or Twitter) changes little. Bluesky has good people and communities within it, but a lot of the people on it are just a mirror reflection of the American Right. Devoid of critical thinking, they follow whatever the left cause of the day is.

While that’s much preferable to Twitter in 2025 (and the right)… it’s not encouraging as for the future of, frankly everything.

pityJuke··on Bat: Cat with syntax highlighting
Along with everything else mentioned, there is a certain group of people who consider the language “woke”. Usually that’s not the critique you see on HN, but be wary of it.
pityJuke··on Gem.coop
What is Spinel? Astral is the developer of uv, and they have announced their hosted platform service, pyx [0]. It appears it will be FOSS as well, but they'll have a hosted version of it.

pityJuke··on Codeberg Reaches 300k Projects
How is Gogs, the original project doing these days?
pityJuke··on This month in Servo: variable fonts, network tools, SVG
Based on your post history, "V" is for "Valve", correct?
pityJuke··on Vercel CEO meets with Netanyahu to discuss AI education
Exactly, Netanyahu is contentious on BOTH sides of the political aisle. You're advertising to an ever decreasing spectrum of the right. Beyond the moral objections over this, I'm just confused how this happened from a PR perspective.
pityJuke··on Israel took control of Gaza cellphones to stream PM Netanyahu's UN Speech live
As someone mentioned, I’m talking about the parent context i.e. using it for Netanyahu’s speech.
pityJuke··on Israel took control of Gaza cellphones to stream PM Netanyahu's UN Speech live
With all that being said, I'd consider that a gross misuse of emergency functionality.
pityJuke··on I'm leaving Ruby Central
From all I can observe, it does seem to have a sinister political undertone. In that, Ruby Central's collapse started because Sidekiq disagreed with them platforming dhh, and then Shopify (who has dhh as a board member, and whose CEO races with dhh) used the funding weakness to demand a purge of anyone they disagreed with.

As an aside, I imagine the discussion of this will be end up being... difficult, because people are tending not react to these sorts of things well.

pityJuke··on MrBeast Failed to Disclose Ads and Improperly Collected Children's Data
Ooo, never knew those words actually had different meanings in the legal context. Appreciate it :).
pityJuke··on MrBeast Failed to Disclose Ads and Improperly Collected Children's Data
As far as I can see this is a non-Governmental non-profit doing this. So it has no legal merit. Can’t tell if this is the ad industry attempting to self-regulate? The Wikipedia articles are quite mealy.

I do tend to agree with the findings, regardless.

pityJuke··on DeepSeek writes less secure code for groups China disfavors?
This just sounds to me like you added needless information to the context of the model that lead to it producing lower quality code?
pityJuke··on AI coding
> It’s why the world wasted $10B+ on self driving car companies that obviously made no sense. There’s a much bigger market for truths that pump bags vs truths that don’t.

Did geohot not found one of these?

pityJuke··on Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s
Would be very sad if they remove the current memory system for this.
pityJuke··on Claude’s memory architecture is the opposite of ChatGPT’s
Exactly. The control over when to actually retrieve historical chats is so worthwhile. With ChatGPT, there is some slop from conversations I might have no desire to ever refer to again.
pityJuke··on Show HN: TheAuditor – Offline security scanner for AI-generated code
Anyone else just find it offensive that someone just takes your comment and shoves it into Claude for a response?
pityJuke··on Wikipedia survives while the rest of the internet breaks

pityJuke··on Next.js 15 Markdown Boilerplate
One of the first things I would do to evaluate a solution like this is to look at a demo. The demo looks... utterly broken to me? [0]

pityJuke··on Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater
Was already sceptical of the app after GrapheneOS rang the alarm [0].
