KW scale radiators for GW scale compute demand. It is not based in reality.

FWIW, with minor exception, Linux is better at "no fiddly shit on my game machine" now. I feel strongly about this too, to come home from work and debug some shit going wrong on my gaming system is no bueno, I'd rather just n

Plenty of sites do this, you just don't interact with them. Corp and govt intranets love this stuff.

They can't control what I run on my GPU. Exactly why local inference is so important.

To be clear, no shade on actual devs faced with actual problems. My ire is reserved exclusively for the "we must do this because it is on the checklist, no I don't understand what a subnet is" people.

Specifically the revocation of such guidance. If the field gave even the slightest deference to empiricism we wouldn't be changing our password every 180 days, but here we are.

The people in charge of the internet are "cybersecurity" "professionals" who can't even follow NIST guidance.

This is what happens when you take the "it was DNS" meme too seriously. DNS is brilliant. Learn it. If you're really that ideologically opposed to such brilliance, just use the addresses directly. The system described is insa

It would require participation by all strata of society. So no.

Not going to bother responding to most of that as it does not warrant a response, but I would point out that the word craft does not imply novelty or uniqueness.

You must truly have no love for your craft if you see "manually" writing code as _just_ typing. That's like calling writing a novel just dragging ink over paper.

Exactly. I work on line of business stuff, not curing world hunger or reinventing the train. One of the few sources of joy in the job is the brain teaser/puzzle of understanding clever bits of code and writing it too. Now you can just

I’m close to despondent about how my job has changed. If the next 15 years of my life is just waiting on LLMs, I don’t think I can do it.

Lucky you man. I earn my dinner by reading, I don't really want to come home and strain my eyes some more.

Tech workers _are_ a bunch of chumps. Temporarily embarrassed billionaire startup founders. The vehicle for this is a union, and tech workers abjectly refuse to unionise.

It's a nice thought but it ignores that there is so much interesting, informative media on youtube that just does not exist anywhere else, at all.

They don’t seem to care about false positives anywhere else on the platform. Being at the mercy of automated Google systems comes with the territory.

If you're interviewing, you get that kind of mismatched response and don't jump in to clarify the scope of the question, I'm not sure that says much about the culture you're supposed to fit into.

Yeah, monero has low transaction fees. And is a pain in the ass to get, even more so in significant quantity or at a good exchange rate. You pay a significant premium for the privacy. So just different types of fees. Monero is also far from

Have you ever actually used crypto to buy something? The transaction fees are exorbitant and prohibitive, and it's slow as balls.

I just don’t see it. Linux is about choice, if something sucks there is almost certainly an alternative. All 3 people using flatpak but not systemd will just have to use one of the million other ways to install a program.

We’ve a storied history of making ecological interventions without fully understanding the consequences. Doing the work to fully understand the consequences is time consuming and expensive. IMO it comes a position of leaving well enough alo

What do you use an LLM for then? Or you’re saying just don’t use it at all?

I use $30 a day to produce a decent amount of code. Certainly more than we need - thinking about/designing the correct solution/distilling requirements is still the bottleneck. How can you possibly even review $300/day worth

What is even the point of botting HN? Besides trolling what is it that they’re getting even more of?

The business value is reduced attack surface which is a marketable attribute. Seems like the exact type of thing Apple would do.

For about 2 months, then I assume our fearless leaders saw the bill and wet themselves. Since then, Opus is off limits lol.
