4d4m··on Garry Tan wants US open-weight AI labs to 'distill' frontier models, too
Lol um no everyone benefits from copyrights and IP. If were being flippant how about people just steal your private code and monetize it!? Copyright makes the creative world turn.
4d4m··on Anthropic CEO calls for immediate slowdown in AI development
Wake me up at ipo this all feels like a soap opera show and outsourced pr
4d4m··on Limiting AI news would hide what is happening to software
Id encourage those tired of AI news to instead take on an active role in shaping where AI goes by getting directly involved. Yelling at the sky changes nothing - there's very little in tech that isn't affected, changing, improved for better or worse by AI so sitting on the sidelines is a great way to get left out of the conversation completely.
4d4m··on I’ve made an offer to buy Ryan Phelan and Stewart Brand’s houseboat Mirene
Checked out the rebuild - that is a lot of work that went into the boat!
4d4m··on The University Degree Is Losing Its Lustre
Wrong framing. I think it's more that universities are waking up to the markets' value correction for their product, about a decade too late. They nerfed the product into something of low value and are just becoming aware.
4d4m··on Silicon Valley is transforming the military-industrial complex? (2024)
Palo alto runs on defense money
4d4m··on Anthropic is lying: Moonshot is not routing to Claude
Is this covered in their TOS or is this a breach of contract?
4d4m··on Copyright does more harm than good and should be abolished
Are there any other worker or creator protections you'd like to dismantle because they're also too inconvenient for you and your narrow worldview? Does the author have any semblance of sense or do they yell at the sky for hours on end every day about things they barely understand? List the benefits of copyright first and then we'll trust you can form a balanced take and are not just spewing a half-baked opinion.
4d4m··on Prime Video introduces new lip-sync technology
This is an excellent usecase and result using AI. Nothing evil or against user wishes, just making dubbing more immersive and personalized!
4d4m··on Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists
The legal fallout from LLMs becoming spy will overwhelm any profit from these misguided attempts at short lived contracts.
4d4m··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
Didn't this just happen in an internet company's self driving car with couple kidnappings in the past month? (They were done according to the companies terms of service is what the internet company says if I remember reading correctly)
4d4m··on Growing proof that autonomous cars save lives
Thanks for clearly stating the danger - your point is reasonable
4d4m··on Show HN: OpenPost, an open-source alternative to Buffer, CapCut, and Canva
This is really nice, thanks for sharing a self-hosted version
4d4m··on 'You Can See Everything' Review: Nathan Fielder's Doc About Elizabeth Holmes
Fielder is one of the top comics of our generation, and a prolific producer!
4d4m··on Poland offers businesses seats on presidential plane for foreign visits
What a cool and innovative idea! Poland boasts a high concentration of skilled programmers, inventors, manufacturers and machinists specializing in every vertical. This brings them closer to the companies that will benefit from working with these reliable and innovative suppliers.
4d4m··on Non-alcoholic beer may actually contain alcohol
Suntory All-Free is a favorite
4d4m··on Hugging Face is too important to fall into Nvidia's hands
This is a silly take. It will grow. There are competitors.
4d4m··on Colleges Are Sending Acceptance Letters to Kids Who Didn't Apply
Desperate and scummy. Market has shown these schools their waning value to society.
4d4m··on VC isn't VC anymore
I think the letter V should be removed from VC to better reflect your point that these are barely ventures - they're more like a rigged casino spin for those that don't have the talent to do the building themselves.
4d4m··on Pause AI Development Now
Turn down for what?

This is silly.

How about coming up with some policies with teeth that force the desired societal outcomes instead of pouring water on the fire before knowing what cooks? You can't slow R&D with policy, and model providers shouldn't be responsible for being daddy government and the police. When people do bad things with models, punish the people responsible. This is like wanting to restrict books because they have dangerous information within.

4d4m··on Launch HN: Nori Robotics (YC S26) – A low-cost humanoid robot for development
Is it possible to use the PWM signal from some RC servos to measure feedback at the motor?
4d4m··on Pivotal CEO left the eVTOL company
Saw a live demo and its very impressive
4d4m··on I co-founded Burning Man. The festival has lost its soul
Festivals and concerts, BM included are a all around a bad place for kids. A babysitter isn't the end of the world while you have some time for fun and to reset.

Seeing pets and children at multi-day festivals is such a vibe-kill for everyone - it feels unreasonable for all personas involved!

4d4m··on Bugatti CEO Mate Rimac: The future of supercars is combustion engines
Tell us what appliance you drive that makes you an expert on future supercars
4d4m··on Germany plans sugar tax that includes sugar free drinks
Smart move. While artificial sweeteners may be a sweet deal for manufacturer's margins, consumers are increasingly realizing they have similar effects as too much sugar on their health. These costs are realized across social medicine, so this seems like the right call.
4d4m··on France reaches 94.9% fiber coverage in 2026
Makes me very jealous as an American. This could have been our stat.
4d4m··on Silicon Valley Is Not Ambitious Enough
Couldn't agree more. Half the bay is taking the smallest most investor palatable risks possible, and only in places where high margin is expected.
4d4m··on Dolly Parton has died
Completely agree johnnuanmac. Seems like a role model for being a good person while maintaining extreme goals and working toward the impossible.
4d4m··on Dolly Parton has died
More focus on the ride theming makes it a standout park in the USA. Also no students being exploited as interns for work programs which is a nice change.
4d4m··on Dolly Parton has died
She was a loving wife to her husband and a great entrepreneur in addition to being a prolific artist. It's hard to find someone so well rounded at so many things before even adding that most of the jobs she created were/are considered positive contributions to society, evenly spread between entertainment, hospitality, foodservice, and adjacent industries. I think I heard she was directly responsible for about 20k total jobs which is INSANE.

What a positive legacy to leave - good example for others.
