In fairness, the US probably watched it fall off the back of a truck.
rekttrader··on DigitalOcean Ends Open Source Credits Program

rekttrader··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
They’re just wildly successful terrible engineers who can describe problems well and have unlimited token budgets. If they were paying for their own token use, the software would be better, they simply don’t have financial incentive to be more performant.

A dirty secret of AI data centers are that they’re only getting 40-60% efficiency out of their GPU clusters and because the moneygun go brrrrr they just buy more.

You wonder why they’re so afraid of the Chinese competition… they can’t afford to be as wasteful

rekttrader··on LAPD lets contract with surveillance giant Flock expire
Can we normalize a healthy 4th amendment posture? It’s wild that the Peter Thiel “don’t tread on me” folks are so cool with a China like police state.
rekttrader··on DeepSeek aims to make its own AI chip
I’m considering moving my family to China to be proximate and to witness the next rise of a superpower. I was too young for the 80’s US computer boom, and in collage for the .com one. The Web 2.0 rise only produced a small handful of winners. China seems boundless.

rekttrader··on Is China using fentanyl as a weapon against the United States?
Afghanistan didn’t have poppy production till it was allowed by the Bush administration. Their primary exports were food stuffs but it was easy to spoil the Iranians and Russians with cheap drugs that ruin society. This was patterned after the british opium wars but done at a funky scale. Now our chickens have come to roost now that pill based pain medication has gotten so hard… life finds a way.
rekttrader··on Is China using fentanyl as a weapon against the United States?
Great reference there…
rekttrader··on Delve removed from Y Combinator
Ya it’s a total write down, I dunno how much they took from YC, if it was the standard deal this is just the cost of doing business.

It would be nice if PayPal did an HP/Autonomy like clawback. The founders of Honey were frauds from the start and this was coordinated grift that enriched VCs and their founders at PayPal’s expense.
rekttrader··on Court rejects NVIDIAs attempt to seal email chain with Annas Archive [pdf]
It’s just concrete proof that Nvidia as well as all of the big LLMs just stole their training data. I mean this has their legal team mulling their risks. Good artists copy, great ones steal. All hail Scam Altman!
rekttrader··on Show HN: A to Z – A word game I built from a childhood road trip memory
Ha! I am literally coding a roadtrip game as well. Really great work and congrats on your launch!
rekttrader··on Odoo: Open-Source ERP
It’s an awesome start to a stack, you’re right though a typical seat based install runs average enterprises 25+k usd per year. I wish that someone would just make open oodo compatible plugins, because the big fundamental win is a unified data model built on open technologies.
