You can do it over TOR.

Yeah for sure it's a bandaid fix, but it does produce tests that fail if the interface doesn't match the implementation, more often than not doing this does (in my experience).

With a skill like this, which I have written, the LLM will end a session with "wrote 24 tests, 5 failing due to API contract mismatch" or something, and leave it at that. I can then decide if that's a bad interface or bad implementation.


We lose money on every sale, but make it up in volume

Nearlyfreespeech is a great service though not a 100% independent as your still relying on them. I think the closest you can get to 100% independent without running your own internet infrastructure is either port forwarding from your home (if allowed) or hosting a website through TOR which isn't too hard. You just have to download the browser and edit a config file (torrc) with the port you want on the network. Not ideal of course though because anyone who wants to visit your website will need the tor browser and explaining to people that your website is on the "dark web" is a little hard to do.

I am a little surprised that doing so isn't more popular on in the indie web scene though as you do it on hardware you own, from your home, and the tor network protects people from knowing your servers ip address if that's something you care about.

There also used to be the beaker browser which let you create and host your own website directly from the browser but that project got shut down. Hopefully something similar will show up at some point. Maybe a website creating plugin for tor would be enough.


I use Mortimer's system for non-fiction works, which is where it makes the most sense.

I would also use it if I was doing a really deep dive in a fiction work.

For most fiction that I am reading for entertainment, the first 50ish pages will tell me if its worth finishing.


I just installed that extension and it doesn't show the actual number of votes.

Worse than? What has been done to Ye? I mean, he's known for being a nazi symp and hitler lover, but that's just facts. Should we forgive Hitler too, because he was neurodivergent?

What did any of these great Heresy Heroes of yours achieve? More expensive Nikes and more palatable child sex trafficking?

Milikan's name has actually been removed from stuff.


This is the Kimi and GLM effect.

Open Source is coming.


Do you suppose 3.4 million sessions come even close to being sufficient to train a frontier model?

Assuming each session was 10,000 words each, that's 34 billion words, lets call it 50 billion tokens generated from Claude. That left Moonshot needing to scrounge for the other 14.950 trillion tokens required for a baseline frontier model.


I agree on both points. They are testing the waters and trying to get a foot in the door. Starting with a gasser only configuration gets them into production with enough interest from people who would like a smaller truck at a lower price point.

I don't think any reasonable person expects the price of the 2-door truck to be $21500 when it finally is produced. That price is guaranteed to rise between now and the delivery of the first vehicle in 2028, it it ever happens. For potential customers it is a signal that they are committed to delivering a quality vehicle at a low price point. If you read the privacy policy, the reservation agreement, and payment terms it is all laid out in plain english.

Once they get vehicles on the road and a dedicated owner base they can determine whether there is interest in a hybrid drivetrain model. I understand why they aren't offering it right out of the gate. I do expect that they would be willing to consider it in the future should they ever make the leap from marketing vaporware to manufacturing.


Get a good notebook and a good pen, if only because the cost is almost irrelevant. I waste them just like the cheap crap because wasting pages is am essential part pf the creative process.

Midori notebooks have set a higher bar for me. At 10 euros every few months, it is well worth the upgrade. Likewise for pens. They are like 2 euros each.


This just sounds like an excuse to complain about things without wanting to actually do anything about them.

Yes, I want my team to be deeply familiar with the codebase and every single little bug that needs fixing both trains them and let's them learn a little bit more about the codebase.

They can use agents. Like, team members don't need to be replaced, they can simply use agents when they deem it useful. If they see a trivial bug,they can put their agent on it and go work on something else meanwhile.


I suspect there are a lot of reasons. You don't have men and their housewife for the most part. So the typically male Lions, Elks, etc. clubs don't fit as well with modern lifestyles for that reason in part. Bowling nights went out of fashion. People are less likely to to be clustered in a town/small city for work. There are just a lot of reasons why routinely heading down to $PLACE with all the guys after work just isn't that popular any longer.

> OpenAI obviously is doing it to gain mindshare but they're burning money before their IPO and can't sustain these resets.

We don’t know that. If they have already paid for the hardware and it is not running 100%, and customers would not pay to get reset, they don’t really lose money.


They do mention the 8 Gig version of the laptop stuttering while just working on Google Docs in a way that the 16 Gig version does not.

The issue shows up with light multitasking or heavier applications.


China spends close to 10x what the US does on agriculture subsidies.

This is a frustrating trend with real estate agents on their MLS pictures. Sure, they have a disclaimer (most of the time) but at a thumbnail size as the lead image, it’s not possible to see it’s AI. Which leads to clicking on a complete BS listing.

Are Codex users even a drop in the bucket of overall use? I mean, it's a pretty specific way to interact with the bot.

Codex usage is clearly common enough to have entered the vernacular of folks here on HN.

But we aren't everyone, and it seems likely to me that there's a lot more people in the world burning tokens using ChatGPT than there are who even know what Codex even is.


This is disappointing, 4-6. I really hoped France would go all the way, but they couldn’t even secure third place.

Yes, people can always claim that wasn't their intent, but what you see quite often nowadays is people openly saying their intent is to get people to take action. "I wouldn't personally... but I have massive respect for those who do. We need more people with the balls to do something about it."

This is probably less restrictive than you are advocating for in your previous comment: as long as there is plausible deniability, the speech goes free.


Without human verification, an LLM can generate correct or incorrect proofs but it can't tell the difference. A human is necessary to be able to tell one from the other.

Saying that's a solution "done autonomously by an automated AI pipeline" is like saying that a self driving car that can only take you to the nearest train station after which you have to ride the rain to where you're going is "autonomously" driving you to your destination. Which is exaggerating the autonomy of the system, rather.


Rams was part of a whole movement that certainly inspired Ive. But really he's come up with great original work.

Especially the fruity era that brought apple back from the brink was not Rams inspired at all. And it was pretty genius. I still see his work from that time as a retro icon in hipster coffee shops. I owned a blue iBook from that time and it was really comfortable to work on due to its smooth edges (though carrying it by its handle had a bit too much of a handbag look)

One thing I do criticise him for is that he's always been form over function. The puck mouse is one good example from that era, anyone who has used it will understand that round is not a good shape for a mouse.

But originality, yes. He was inspired sure but nobody exists in a vacuum.


Gleam is a popular language amongst people who like Erlang or Elixir. They are both built for the BEAM virtual machine.

Tangled is a decentralized GitHub alternative built on ATProto (the same protocol as Bluesky)


This isn't accurate at all.

The reason people don't get malware on Linux is because they install software through the package manager, via trusted and reviewed repos. And drivers are all built-in to the operating system, not third party (with some exceptions, like nvidia).

On most Linux setups you aren't just downloading random junk from the internet and running it. Also the operating system won't install things automatically for you generally either. Even system updates are optional if you don't want them, and you won't be nagged for it.

Basically it comes down to a difference in culture.


Rudy from Blacksky set up their own copy of Tangled without Tangled guys even knowing about it, so it would look to me like it is self-hostable: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:w4xbfzo7kqfes5zb7r6qv3rw/po...

I was going to make a joke about the aliens returning and presenting us with a bunch of birds.

But that got me thinking, if an intelligence goes around collecting species, how would they keep their specimen populations from evolving? How could they possibly keep so many specimens alive over the eons?

Perhaps their strategy would be to take a vast amount of genetic samples and preserve those species as data. Rather than abduct dozens of T-Rexes for some zoo exhibit, they take the genomes from tens of thousands of T-Rexes and make a population snapshot. After they depart from Earth they could clone or create as many as they want, as needed.


They're probably pricing for a long time sales centered strategy, the old games seem to constantly get recommended to me during steam sales. And I doubt they were going to have a massive release at any price, it's too niche of a thing.

Yes, past 150 seats you have to switch to Enterprise (IIRC)
