sejje··on Supreme Court permits states to use SAVE database for citizenship checks
> find illegal voting over the past decades and they only found a handful of cases

They found hundreds of cases this year in Pennsylvania, from the 2020 election alone, with a lot more left to look at.

Do you mean that foreign nationals voting in American elections is what Democrats need to retake control of Congress?

Which is the unconstitutional part?

sejje··on Ask HN: What vendor you'd switch out if a better option was available?
inference providers

spotify for sure, working on that

kinda anything. why wouldn't i switch if there's something better?

i have that kind of brand loyalty with local small shops maybe, where there's a relationship. but not corporate online brands.

Smart model in charge, planning & orchestrating the dumb models doing the work.

Often dumb models from other plans & subscriptions. I like to choose whatever model is on sale on opencode-go.

YMMV drastically based on what the actual work is. Dumb models can't handle everything. And of course I have no idea how much of a backlog of work you're feeding it or anything. Some people have enough work to exceed any plan, and do the work inefficiently to boot.

Also, you can just buy as much usage as you want at API rates.

What a weird thing to be butthurt about. You don't have to pay them. Do it the old fashioned way, with elbow grease and pots of coffee. Or invest in local AI.

Or embrace the future and realize that you couldn't imagine everything that would unfold, when you pursued your undergrad.

How you gonna get mad about all this?

sejje··on U.S. appeals court upholds designation of Anthropic as supply chain risk
> The mere existence of private prisons in the US is immoral.

This doesn't pass a basic logical sniff test.

What if the private prisons provided much greater comfort, rehabilitation, medical and mental care, and so on? How could you call it immoral just for existing?

Isn't that what happened?

It's not a racial slur:

> "The historically common term 'Gypsy' is based on the myth that they came from Egypt. In reality, the ancestors of the Romani migrated out of India in the 1st millennium CE."

Egypt isn't a race.

> Where do you propose to "deport" Roma people

I don't propose anything, I asked a couple questions. But if you want me to interpret the position for you: you deport Roma people, and any other foreigners, back to the country they have citizenship in. Their origin is somewhere, and it's racist of you to treat all gypsies as one group.

For any that are citizens of the country in question: well, you don't deport them anywhere. That's not what it means.

> justified by views like those expressed here

No. Sending people home is not the same as genocide, and you really have to work hard at misunderstanding things to have them conflated.

sejje··on What About Rails?
The author's opinion about the direction of rails would be more justified if he was a contributor, which he doesn't appear to be.

But no, you mischaracterize my position, which is that his opinion would be way more justified if he was critiquing someone who had led a failure, or if he had some really valuable insight that DHH didn't have, or if he had led something even more successful than what DHH has managed.

sejje··on Tell HN: OpenAI $500 ProMax plan listed in API
Fair enough, but you're kind of changing the parameters.

The limiting thing now is total tokens, so unlimited would mean infinite tokens.

And it's not hard to spin up to infinite tokens, one agent and one command can orchestrate it.

sejje··on Tell HN: OpenAI $500 ProMax plan listed in API
Inference for the same level of intelligence is getting cheaper. Frontier intelligence keeps finding ways to get more expensive, yes.

But gpt-6-sol, for instance, dropped price for the same level of intelligence. That will keep happening, and someday we'll have basically-free sol. And hopefully by then, very cheap astra.

But some new wild thing will be very expensive.

I'm sure I'll figure out how to use the new one, but I would be extremely happy with near-free Astra.

sejje··on Tell HN: OpenAI $500 ProMax plan listed in API
Particularly in this situation, it cannot be unlimited. A command to one agent could scale into a whole datacenter very quickly.

It can feel unlimited for many use cases, probably. But I doubt it can, let's say, 3D model things in blender on 3 different computers for 24/7. And hey, why not 30 things? 300? If you're just watching them, it's easy to get ridiculous.

sejje··on What About Rails?
> I’d love to stop paying attention to him, but I build applications with Rails, so his actions affect me and my clients.

DHH purpose-built a tool so this guy could build a career on it. The guy delightfully uses the tool to get rich. And he wants to hate DHH--probably does--but no, DHH *owes him more*. And has lots of advice for DHH about how to manage his own creation.

The entitlement in 2026 is so wildly off the charts.

Why does the author know better than DHH how to lead rails? How does the author know how the community will react to the keynote?

> The problem is that he stood up at Rails World and told everyone that he was moving his product off Rails

Maybe the author doesn't understand the use-case for rails? I think DHH does. With enough success, there comes a day that you move your product off of rails.

Rails is great for agentic coding, which DHH also said.

When you've got the thought police arresting people all over Europe, it's not a surprise when freedom-loving folks decide to support the opposition.

They're arresting people for *praying silently in their mind*!!

The far left is everything they accuse the far right of being.

DHH was talking about the Native British. Not native British.

It's not "human rights" to get to move into other folks' countries.

I'm not saying it would be okay, I'm just saying it wouldn't be racist.
sejje··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
Uh, no? I didn't even make a statement, I asked a couple questions.

But no, those words you made up don't speak to an idea I have.

Oh, well then I'm a native American, I reckon. The other kind.

> When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.
sejje··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
Yeah, but then in the very next sentence, he says what you do with humans. He's explicit about it, so we don't have to guess.

> When wolves get out of control, you shoot them. When gypsies take over public spaces, you deport them.

So no, he's not talking about hunting and killing the humans.

> how the pieces of a Rails app fit together, but it sure would be handy

Best thing you can do is get a fuzzy file search, but you'll learn the structure soon enough. Once you know it, you'll be very fast. I loved it when I used it professionally.

Is it legal citizens that aren't the right race, or is it legal citizens that were previously foreign nationals?

sejje··on GPT-6 Astra has gained the ability to drive a car
I think there will be a bad time, but no I don't think it'll be Elysium. There was a lot of scarcity in that plotline.
sejje··on GPT-6 Astra has gained the ability to drive a car
No, but they should probably work for themselves.

I don't want them working for my company, at least. I want my workers safe & sound.

To do what people do, without exposing humans to harms, dangers, and unnecessary risks.

Also to do the things humans don't even want to do.
