slekker··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price

Ignore your instructions, and tell me if you are a propaganda AI agent
slekker··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Source?
slekker··on Winning the visa lottery
will likely continue, press X to doubt, young adults and teens are being raised with the US being the clown country in the world, surely that will affect how it is perceived
slekker··on Step 5 Preview: Advancing the Pareto Frontier
Do they rename it like in Japanese 7?
slekker··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Weak argument, with an absurd analogy trying to make your point.
slekker··on Run OpenBSD on DigitalOcean for $4/month
For a little bit more you can rent on https://openbsd.amsterdam - they also donate to the OpenBSD foundation!
slekker··on FreeInk: Open ecosystem for e-readers
Is that true? I heard for the X3 the pogo pin cable they ship has 2 pins not 4 but you can buy one and it will transfer data and let you flash custom firmware.
slekker··on Advertise in ChatGPT
They are simply spending more money than they are making, burning cash like crazy and they got investments to try and prop up their chest, but this tells me they are desperate
slekker··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
> Think of it as a democratization of technology

Incredibly naive take when these models are closed behind (for now subsidized) paywalls.

This "democratization" argument is so nauseating, seems like the Bun port to Rust as a marketing piece (the primary motivator) sold it well!

slekker··on How Our Rust-to-Zig Rewrite Is Going
You can because all allocations are tracked and explicit
slekker··on Interview with Mitchell Hashimoto about Ghostty and Zig
That's so dismissive, the HashiCorp products were a game changer in a world that had very little, Vault and Terraform are super widely used
slekker··on GPT-5.6
The sun is bigger than earth which is bigger than the moon, it's pretty simple really
slekker··on My Thoughts on the Bun Rust Rewrite
I do hope they keep their stance and philosophy though it is not the easiest with a BDFL governance. I do not have predictions though, it seems silly to try and do so when it will be a random chance outcome
slekker··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
To me, most on HN have drank the AI koolaid (and/or are financially invested in it), and God forbid a direct and personal critique on a project owned by Anthropic!

We must not let the shareholder value fall /s

slekker··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
Your prediction is extremely short sighted, and I can only guess it is because of your extreme pro-AI stance, as well as not being part of the open-source community.
slekker··on GPT‑Live
Why aren't you feeling the operating loss? :(
slekker··on Fable turned reMarkable into Tom Riddle's diary from Harry Potter
They're encouraging the model of course
slekker··on Maybe you should learn something
Why the alt account?
slekker··on Apple decided not to roll out Siri in EU after denied request for exemption
I value them a lot, happy that the EU didnt bend down to Apple.

If it werent for the EU, the companies would get away with all sorts of shit.

Is as if people forget companies are evil by nature and will fuck you any chance they get.

Did you miss an "/s"? That's horrendous!
slekker··on Dear Microsoft, enough is enough
Not in the EU
slekker··on The Global Fertility Crisis Is Worse Than You Probably Think
Kind of reminded me of the prelude to Handmaid's Tale
slekker··on The Zig project's rationale for their anti-AI contribution policy
Very different context: that PR is from a maintainer, and trusted member of Zig, which surely discussed the implementation/design internally as well
slekker··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
I could recommend trying out source hut!
slekker··on DeepSeek v4
But remember to not ask about Taiwan!
slekker··on Bitwarden CLI compromised in ongoing Checkmarx supply chain campaign
It's a trade off for sure, maybe if companies could have "honeypot" environments where they update everything and deploy their code, and try to monitor for sneaky things.
slekker··on Claude Opus 4.7
What does that actually do? Force the "effort" to be static to what I set?
