- echelon 5mo agoThen start using DeepSeek. Don't use distilled little RTX models on your frankensteined home PC like a 0.00001%er who misses the ergonomics Claude Code solves. That's a "Year of Linux on Desktop 2010" grade failure waiting to happen. Rent cloud instances and spin up thick model weights and contribute to the open source infrastructure for making this easy for everyone to use. The hyperscalers should be eaten by cheap, competent, cloud-based open source. Be the change you want to see.

To be clear: I wRoTe - E V E R Y - w o r d - by [picture ASCII art of "human hand" here]⠀ Do not accuse me of using an LLM as a substitute for thinking. I do not use LLMs to write any of my Hacker News comments, and I never have. I have used LLMs to help me search for information, but I have never once in my life posted the outputs of an LLM into a post verbatim as my own. That's laziness. I'm not dismissing LLMs here. They produce better writing than a lot of humans. They are fantastic tools for constructing media, for getting work done, and for furthering your own capabilities. But I curate my thoughts and craft my arguments. That sort of wanton dismissal of my comments is worse than using an LLM as a substitute for thinking. That's real "human slop".
- esafak 5mo agoWhich GPU cloud instance are you using?
- echelon 5mo agoLambda, RunPod, and I've used GCP and AWS instances and clusters too. I'd prefer if we had a more open version of all of this. That's where open source will matter.
- Applejinx 5mo agoI was able to avoid talking to Gemini, but only by switching to DuckDuckGo and then also doctoring Chromium to run searches using a 'no-AI' option. At least I think I'm avoiding talking to Gemini, but for all I know I'm talking to it right now. This is what bugs people.
- yegg 5mo agoWe now have an official noai Chrome Extension here: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/duckduckgo-no-ai-search/faoilnlkccdjdkpljainiiimmijofmpd https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/duckduckgo-no-ai-se...
- Applejinx 5mo agoAppreciated, though I did say chromium. Chrome updates itself and changes itself when you're not looking, and I find that so distressing that I use ungoogled chromium instead :)
- yegg 5mo agoDo extensions not work there as well? In any case you could set it yourself as default search: noai.duckduckgo.com
