rgreeko42··on NSA is using Anthropic's Mythos despite blacklist
This is all just a pump for their IPO so...
rgreeko42··on Show HN: I speak 5 languages. Common apps taught me none. So I built lairner
When I loaded the page I saw a bunch of placeholder text like "Hero title" for a second then an AI-generated image was the first thing I saw after that. Doesn't inspire confidence that it's "expert crafted."

70+ languages and 700+ courses would imply a staff of people were required to create something like this (if it's of any quality), but it's a "side project"?

Strains credulity.

rgreeko42··on Ask HN: Unemployed almost a year after graduating MIT – a rant
I had a similar experience. This is good advice.
rgreeko42··on ChatGPT Health
This is going to kill people
rgreeko42··on The first new compass since 1936
Yes that's stated clearly in the video
rgreeko42··on 2026: The Year of Java in the Terminal?
came here to say the same
rgreeko42··on Karpathy on Programming: “I've never felt this much behind”
disruption is a code word for deregulation, and deregulation is bad for everyone except execs and investors
rgreeko42··on AI is wiping out entry-level tech jobs, leaving graduates stranded
Outsourcing, end of ZIRP, end of R&D tax credit. Macro-economic conditions are pushing companies to do more with fewer people. AI might be helping with this, but it's pure marketing BS to blame it for the state of tech employment.
rgreeko42··on What is “literate programming”? (2024)
Isn't Org Mode and your LISP of choice the ideal literate programming environment? I'm surprised REPL-based LISP isn't mentioned at all.
rgreeko42··on Rubygems.org AWS Root Access Event – September 2025
So is this a smear of Arko (and by extension Ruby Gems' sloppy security) but dressed up like a Security disclosure?

If I'm reading it right, it seems quite petty (and a bit cowardly). Arko was a maintainer was he not? How is that a breach? Presumably his credentials were not misbegotten, or is that the accusation?

rgreeko42··on Nostr
My "apolitical" shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt. What an odd word to use in the first sentence of your product description, which also includes the word "open", an inherently political concept in this context.

Did/does Nostr have some cryptocurrency connection or am I thinking of something else?

rgreeko42··on My experience with Claude Code after two weeks of adventures
I use Intellij Idea and I don't want to learn a new IDE. Claude Code is an easy TUI, unlike Vim or Emacs. It's a simpler solution to me.
rgreeko42··on The Tandy Corporation
I have fond memories of riding the private subway from the remote parking lot into tandy center to go to the ice rink as a kid
rgreeko42··on Student discovers fungus predicted by Albert Hoffman
I'm not taking someone known as the "Healthy Gamer" seriously as an expert.
rgreeko42··on Ship Carrying EVs Abandoned in Pacific After Catching Fire
Why would we want unsafe vehicles to reach consumers? Better that they don't reach the showroom if that's the case.
rgreeko42··on Why did U.S. wages stagnate for 20 years?
I truly do not understand how Noah Smith, a truly vapid and frankly unintelligent writer, makes it to the front page of this website so often. His writing goes whichever way is soothing to those with money and power.
rgreeko42··on The Fall of Roam (2022)
Same. It's great. And I set Logseq to use Org format instead of MD in case I ever want or need to move my notes into Org Roam proper (e.g. if Logseq goes kaput someday).
rgreeko42··on Is Winter Coming? (2024)
o1 was not a major advancement
rgreeko42··on FBI arrests judge accused of helping man evade immigration authorities
The copper that connects the alarm lever to the alarm system was sold for scrap 25 years ago
rgreeko42··on Googler... ex-Googler
You are using people from a marginalized group (the poor), of which I am assuming you are not a part, as a bad faith shield to justify your anti-worker viewpoint.
rgreeko42··on I'm the Canadian who was detained by ICE for two weeks
Oh, well if DHS says so on X The Everything Site it must be true
