Most bullies are responding to a poor home life where they are bullied and beaten.

I didn’t expect to open the comments and find people who were pro beating children on Hacker News. I find this abuse horrific and you should speak to a therapist if you think this is okay. Absolutely barbaric behavior.

I have some amount of confidence that the sellers on AliExpress will figure out how to create cheap hardware that makes use out of all of this when it hits the secondary market.

Can we please not? eBay is one of the few places I still enjoy on the web.

I can’t say that I’ve felt my skills atrophy, but I’ve also never found backend web development to be that difficult. 90% of my job for my entire career could be described as digital plumber.

Every passing week I self host more and more services and tools inside of my own network to protect my family from this wave of censorship and surveillance. No ID needed for llama.cpp.

I guess they should ban all the chippies too. Everyone is unhealthy in their own way and that’s the cost of doing business. Socializing healthcare does not require banning unhealthy behavior. It turns out that money does in fact grow on tre

Fully agree with this. Well put.

Yeah you can buy those legally online and plant them in your yard right now. This take is based on all of human history until the last 2 - 300 years.

Regulating human consumption of anything that grows from the ground is absolutely ridiculous. It’s an affront to the natural order. At the minimum, nobody should have the ability to tell me I can’t buy seeds and grow a plant for my own pers

“Hacker news and r/programming is only good to get general ideas and keep up-to-date. The comments are almost worthless.” In full effect as per usual.

People have been smoking tobacco for 12,000 years. How about nanny states fuck off and let people do what they want with their body. I would be happy for regulation of additives that tobacco companies adulterate their products with, but I s

A tool should not be regulated based on what it can do. Regulating tools rather than the action or intention of a person or group is inherently backwards and wrong imo.

Idk about everyone else, but I don’t want to rent tokens forever. I want a self hosted model that is completely private and can’t be monitored or adulterated without me knowing. I use both currently, but I am excited at the prospect of mayb

Props to these folks for protecting their community. Maybe they can build the data center in your backyard instead :).

I find the strong anti AI sentiment just as annoying as the strong pro AI sentiment. I hope that the extremes can go scream in their own echo chamber soon, so that the rest of us can get back to building and talking about how to make techno

I wish everyone could be so rational, well reasoned, and balanced on this subject.

I can’t imagine receiving that amount of money and not turning around and giving almost all of it to my local community. Hell I could keep 50 or 60 million and live extremely wealthy for the rest of my life and never work again.

I disagree that this adds anything new to the conversation, but fair enough.

I have some amount of hope that local open models with sufficient quantization are the future as hardware becomes more powerful and models become more optimized. I don’t think we will be living in thin client land forever. Human expertise a

I get it. I’ve been doing this for 11 years. I use agents everyday at work now and deal with all the benefits and problems of that. The craft is certainly changing and it will take years for everything to shake out and settle. I understand

Good lord I’m going to have to figure out some way to filter Hacker News. I’m so tired of this same sort of article (and the opposite) being posted every day. AI isn’t going away. AI is better than you think it is. AI is probably also worse

Yes and Yes and Yes. I’m not an AI maximalist, but this is an extreme position that I believe is, in fact, ridiculous.

by oompydoompy74 7mo ago
What a ridiculous position to take.

by oompydoompy74 7mo ago
Remaining dependent on proprietary frontier models that you can only access via an API makes no sense whatsoever. My hope is that the future is open weight models running on local hardware.

What’s up with all the complaining that this wonderful app isn’t available on non Apple platforms? Android isn’t worth it for monetization and one of the reasons Flighty is so good is that the developer picked a platform and created a nativ

Not that it really matters, but does this article read as LLM authored to anyone else?
