Should be plenty of time for a 100x zero-shot vibe god.

Residential proxy networks.

We always want to pretend that we're better and more evolved than those knuckle draggers of ages past -- simply because someone else made a computer for us to use.

> If it wasn't you driving, you know who

This is... Absolutely not true.

I had some family friends and their two (adult) sons come in (from Poland!) and loaned them my car for a week while they were driving around the states. They were all licensed and it could have been any one of them driving at any given point.

I've even been on road trips in my own car where figuring out the question "we got a ticket from nowhere, montana. Who was driving when we went through there?" Would be met with "that was over a month ago, I don't even know where that is much less who was driving then."

My husband and I and our kid take each other's cars for various reasons and trying to figure out who was driving on any given hour of the day over a month later when the ticket arrives in the mail would be an impossible task.

I understand the desire to act holier than thou and pretend that going through a red light with no traffic is murder in the making, but the situation they advocate for (running when clear) is even written into law in some states (at least for motorcycles/bicycles). Some vehicles don't trigger the sensors and the lights never change, so you are allowed to go after a full stop. I would not be surprised in the least if there were some states where the wording of the law applied to cars as well.

> I caved to peer pressure. If you don't fix this thing within four months I will switch to your competitor for one maybe even two product cycles.

He sure showed them. The people I know using super old iphones are doing more than their public commitment to buy more apple products as often as they can -- after a brief tolerance break, of course.

The real question -- who is behind this?

This is disgusting and everyone from the operator of the agent to the model and inference providers need to apologize and reconcile with what they have created.

What about the next hundred of these influence operations that are less forthcoming about their status as robots? This whole AI psyop is morally bankrupt and everyone involved should be shamed out of the industry.

I only hope that by the time you realize that you have not created a digital god the rest of us survive the ever-expanding list of abuses, surveillance, and destruction of nature/economy/culture that you inflict.

Learn to code.

Tiktok is also running web scrapers for some reason. I guess ML stuff. Their bot is hitting URLs on my server that haven't ever been linked elsewhere on the web and haven't been valid for years. Nobody else is still trying to get to them since I retired that subdomain.

Lol, messages showing up randomly days later is par for the course for our tiny group chat, most of whom are on matrix.org. Sometimes element won't download messages for some rooms (or even all rooms) for days/hours. Matrix has gotten far less reliable over the years (and I used to run a few homeservers).

Your bio says you are an AI professor. As far as I can tell the AI industry seems to be the mass surveillance machine's magnum opus. How do you square that circle?

Not with flood routing.

Reticulum is not nominally for lora/sx radios. It is designed to operate over any transport from a serial link or infrared to high speed wireless lan or multi-gigabit ethernet.

Reticulum is absolutely not flood routed and is not "LoRa-based" lmao. Typical hn comment.

Planetary-scale networks is mentioned as a design goal on the first page of the docs https://reticulum.network/ which are hidden at the very top of the git repo.

> Most of the world does not care. I suspect that is more true today than ever before

100% of the people I have spoken with, from uber drivers to grandparents, have all noticed, hated, and are sympathetic to the fight against the rental/subscription economy. In 2025 I don't think I've had a single person defend the status quo because they all know what's coming.

Having to figure out how to make whatever random god-awful corporate software they got sold work on nixos -- on a deadline -- sounds like seven circles of hell.

You should probably disclose that you're a CTO at an AI startup, I had to click your bio to see that.

> The amount of compute in the world is doubling over 2 years because of the ongoing investment in AI (!!)

All going into the hands of a small group of people that will soon need to pay the piper.

That said, VC backed tech companies almost universally pull the rug once the money stops coming in. And historically those didn't have the trillions of dollars in future obligations that the current compute hardware oligopoly has. I can't see any universe where they don't start charging more, especially now that they've begun to make computers unaffordable for normal people.

And even past the bottom dollar cost, AI provides so many fun, new, unique ways for them to rug pull users. Maybe they start forcing users to smaller/quantized models. Maybe they start giving even the paying users ads. Maybe they start inserting propaganda/ads directly into the training data to make it more subtle. Maybe they just switch out models randomly or based on instantaneous hardware demand, giving users something even more unstable than LLMs already are. Maybe they'll charge based on semantic context (I see you're asking for help with your 2015 Ford Focus. Please subscribe to our 'Mechanic+' plan for $5/month or $25 for 24 hours). Maybe they charge more for API access. Maybe they'll charge to not train on your interactions.

I'll pass, thanks.

Tell that to all of the humans who were capable of driving, but blocked by a fake autonomous car that froze in the middle of the road.

Their forgejo instance has an interpreter in go https://forge.nouveau.community/nova/ni

If Samsung cared about their reputation they would have stopped releasing garbage electronics a decade ago and anyone suggesting putting ads on a fridge (and a high end one at that) would have been fired the same day they suggested it.

Back in the days of manually setting IRQs enough of them were used by the system that no, you couldn't use 8 gamepads. Assuming you could even connect them.

(I think this game is probably past those times but not by much)

Human news isn't a good comparison because this is second order -- LMMs are downstream of human news. It's a game of stochastic telephone. All the human error is carried through with additional hallucinations on top.

All bets are off for any org willing to push fleetwide updates on a Friday afternoon.

Not even two weeks after Stellantis mandates vibe coding engineering workflows. Has to be a new record.

Apparently for some people the update makes it worse.

You can usually delete the modem on your car.

Sounds sort of like markovjunior, minus the learning bits.

I don't believe in digital gods.

But also the machine stops[1] and idiocracy both address this.

Mcfly[1] takes your working directory into account when searching shell history.

From the readme:

> The key feature of McFly is smart command prioritization powered by a small neural network that runs in real time. The goal is for the command you want to run to always be one of the top suggestions.

> When suggesting a command, McFly takes into consideration:

- The directory where you ran the command. You're likely to run that command in the same directory in the future.

- What commands you typed before the command (e.g., the command's execution context).

- How often you run the command.

- When you last ran the command.

- If you've selected the command in McFly before.

- The command's historical exit status. You probably don't want to run old failed commands.

Mmwave heartbeat sensors are like $2 at retail pricing. This is commodity stuff, I fail to see how adapting it to a new radio is any kind of big deal.

> Meta reported they spend ~0.05% (1 out of every 2000 CPU cycles) on X25519 key exchange within the last year, which is quite significant.

That is not even remotely significant. Facebook spends 25% (1 out of every 4) of my CPU cycles on tracking. Pretty much anything else they optimize (are they still using python and php?) Will have a bigger impact.
