Saying "more" seems generous. I don't trust Pangram at all, and I also don't trust the author at all. Both can be trustless charletans simultaneously, and I feel this speaks volume…

Whether that chess repo is genuine or not genuine, legal or illegal, tasteful or tasteless, vibed or not vibed, stolen or copied, the signal to open source maintainers is clear: ge…

I admit that I read this stuff for self-soothing, although the self-sooth is not about AI going away, just that SotA will become expensive enough that everyone stops shilling digit…

That podcast was very timely and topical, thanks!

They even put it in quotes, because they know what they did. Maybe just take out the word "traditional" and be honest: "This is not an operating system. We're redefining the term b…

I actually had a great session with Gemini pushing back on the "Max 401k" advice. Summarized in my own words: - Why would I contribute tons more to my already decent 401k? If anyth…

Bummer that they didn't cite the product as being neither Open nor AI.

This is an agreeable article, sure, but the idea that an LLM fueled group or team will collectively have this discipline is... idk... bemusing and saddening at the same time.

"Involution" is spot on.

Not to distract from the message, but I appreciate that this is largely plaintext not React vibeslop.

My first thought is that this government-Anthropic feud is good publicity for both of them. - Anthropic is seen as a victim/hero - They get Government-endorsed model hype - Monday …

Also got this email. I doubt that Anthropic themselves are pushing identity verification, for what that's worth (which is admittedly not worth very much). It's a real shame though.…

Keybase. Keybase was/is a trust network that was unceremoniously and unduly strangled. (You were the chosen one!) I don't know how its style of trust systems can help us solve thes…

Welcome to the dark forest.

I think the author is describing the new incarnation of the Death March. In the Death March, contributors know that an active project will be dead-on-arrival, or cannot be redeemed…

Good for the author for finding some success. I'd recommend seeking a significant other, somehow that sounds less daunting that making friends past 30. Cool roommates are friend-aj…

See below that: 'Don't believe self-serving lies about technologies being "inevitable" or "here to stay". You don't have to just go along with the dominant narrative. You can make …

> One engineer captured this shift perfectly in a widely shared essay, describing how AI transformed the engineering role from builder to reviewer. I stopped here. Was this written…

Hoenikker had been experimenting with melting and re-freezing ice-nine in the kitchen of his Cape Cod home. Beautiful, perhaps like ice-nine is beautiful.

Yeah, agreed. I probably wasn't going to delete my OpenAI account (ala the link that is also being upvoted on HN), it just seemed like a hassle vs ceasing to use OpenAI. But when t…

I use agentic LLMs (for side projects, properly sandboxed) as much as the next guy, but collectively the normalization of deviance is pretty apparent and shocking ( https://en.wiki…
