airstrike··on Show HN: Yogurt – Free, private, open-source alternative to Granola
How do you feel about Apple, Blackberry, Budget or Shell?
airstrike··on AWS emulator
As a human, beep boop, I find Rust a beautiful language.
airstrike··on Show HN: Where Were We
from the title I thought this was a new wordle variant in which you had to remove letters until you get to the solution
airstrike··on The end of Microsoft Research's AI Frontiers group
All statements he made about world models did not already turn out to be wrong. He may be right in the long term.

LLMs work well for search problems with the help of a strong verifier.

As it turns out, every problem is ultimately a search problem. But not every domain has an easily available verifier.

airstrike··on Every Windows 11 app should kill Electron, and Discord just showed why
or Rust with things other than GPUI
airstrike··on Claude Code sends your email address to websites
yawn
airstrike··on Claude Code sends your email address to websites
there is no difference between GET and POST
airstrike··on Claude Code sends your email address to websites
yeah, so, such system is impossible to build
airstrike··on We're training a Figma-fluent editing model
Install Codex and the Figma plugin.

I haven't edited anything manually in Figma for a while now other than small tweaks.

airstrike··on The AI Bubble Monitor
There's no real incentive for the industry to coalesce around 2-3 models. I think it's very unlikely to happen.
airstrike··on The $6.3B Binance hack was pulled off in just 20 minutes
It's a horribly inaccurate show too
airstrike··on We won't "just hang out"
Yes, I expect this to be a problem in 250 years.
airstrike··on We won't "just hang out"
We likely have more than 100 years to adjust.
airstrike··on Leak Exposes 41,000 Homeland Security Workers–Including Undercover ICE Agents
No, and I'm not sure why you're purposefully being obtuse.

To be clear, they're baiting because their reply starts with "oh yeah?" which is a clear indication they are not truly willing to hear a different argument.

airstrike··on Leak Exposes 41,000 Homeland Security Workers–Including Undercover ICE Agents
Baiting them into a bad faith discussion
airstrike··on Leak Exposes 41,000 Homeland Security Workers–Including Undercover ICE Agents
Feels like you're trying to bait them instead of engaging in good faith.
airstrike··on Leak Exposes 41,000 Homeland Security Workers–Including Undercover ICE Agents
It was more like Obama was so cool and had so much panache he won despite having an extremely incompetent team...and then both he and his team believed he won because of them and proceeded to self-sabotage the DNC from within.

To be clear, I'm not excusing him. I think he was very cool indeed but ultimately a weak president that lacked in leadership before and after his term

airstrike··on New iMac with M6
My wife made me essentially give away my budget-friendly gaming PC and get an iMac when she moved in with me after grad school.
airstrike··on Developing Taste
people say taste is the differentiator but I hate that because taste is personal, whereas culture is communal

taste without curation for the community, with an eye to what is culturally edifying, is just consumerism

airstrike··on Lula supporters protest against Meta to denounce its 'electoral interference'
Exactly! It's a common expression to shoo someone off.

Literally it translates to "Don't put yourself" where "put" is the closest I can think of to the verb "meter", which is sort of what you do when you insert something haphazardly instead of carefully.

Truly literally the words are "No + self + put" and the conjugation of "meter" into "meta" makes it clear the subject is "you"

airstrike··on There's never been a better time to go into math (by: 3blue1brown) [video]
Turning hard problems into easier problems is a good thing.
airstrike··on Anthropic's proposed AI safety bill only kicks in if 50 deaths or $1B in damages
The next step is demanding anyone who wishes to release a Certified Safe AI™ model to prove they can insure the $1B in damages and pass a compliance audit for how they will prevent the LTM death count from reaching 50, effectively making it so that only big labs can serve government and enterprise.
airstrike··on Furifont, a Japanese font that shows furigana
"Furigana, set by the font." is such a bad tagline written by an LLM
airstrike··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
The entire discussion about AI taking jobs is by definition about the future. Nobody is saying "AI took our jobs" so talking about what it can currently do is nearly irrelevant
airstrike··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
Yes, currently means "right now" not "for the foreseeable future".
airstrike··on The Fatal Flaw of 911
I'm honestly amazed someone could point to San Francisco's homeless problem and its policing or lack thereof and say "that's the future"
airstrike··on 90% of US working hours are spent on tasks not covered well by AI benchmarks
If by "currently" you mean "for the foreseeable future", then sure.
airstrike··on Show HN: Proa – A Rust web framework with fast SSR and multi-target rendering
Man, that video was a pleasure to watch
airstrike··on Show HN: Proa – A Rust web framework with fast SSR and multi-target rendering
Great answer! Thanks
airstrike··on Show HN: Proa – A Rust web framework with fast SSR and multi-target rendering
It's painful at first and then a pleasure forever after.
