bix6··on Image of our satellite-choked night skies
In what world is Elon getting to blanket the sky with tens of thousands of satellites a representative government?
bix6··on Image of our satellite-choked night skies
Sorry which regular rural people are parting with their cash to launch satellites?
bix6··on Image of Our Satellite-Choked Night Skies
Agreed, I should’ve added that as the other overriding case
bix6··on Image of our satellite-choked night skies
Exactly. The regular citizens don’t get to participate in the decision.
bix6··on Image of our satellite-choked night skies
lol what. Regular citizens don’t get a say on satellites and many would prefer we didn’t put so many up. “National Security” will trump any citizen concerns every time.

Meanwhile I’d like to be able to enjoy the stars without Elon’s shit in my face. Can’t wait for the Coca Cola advertisements some day.

The first sentence literally says it’s a multi image composite so…

The point of the image is to make a point. Art is provocative. Our skies are choked as anyone who makes Astro images will tell you.
bix6··on Starfall – Affordable, routine access to microgravity
2025 first year more kids die due to pullback in funding

bix6··on Starfall – Affordable, routine access to microgravity
It is exhausting to fight for what’s right but god bless the people who try.
bix6··on Progress on provable inference for large language models
I’m so tired of hearing stories like this. The biggest most well funded corps in the history of mankind and all they do is steal the shit out of everything. It’s pathetic.
bix6··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
He has a vested interest in hyping AI / spend because YC overwhelmingly invests in AI startups.
bix6··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
> he’s suffered from “cyber psychosis” and sometimes barely sleeps

Sleep is one of the most important things in the world. Why not have the agents work while you sleep?

bix6··on Trump Accounts to Get SpaceX Shares from Shotwell in December
I can think of 100 reasons why not. How about we just give people the money instead and let them decide what to use it on? Or give them treasuries instead of a stock in a private company run by one of the most divisive men in American history, further entrenching him?
bix6··on Trump Accounts to Get SpaceX Shares from Shotwell in December
Instead of giving kids peanut amounts of shares / money, what if we all worked to instead build a better world for them?
bix6··on [dead]
Funded by big oil, get this garbage out of here bilsbie!
bix6··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
Because Anthropic is a grocery store.
bix6··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
I was referring to their schedule of obligations aka all the money they’ve promised to pay other people for compute.
bix6··on Scaling Git at OpenAI
Nah I made a workout app with Claude code. Today it loaded the same warmup exercise as my main block 3 times in a row. The program does not call AI to make the plan so that’s the code it wrote lol. In general though the app is good enough if you know what you’re doing which seems to be the theme with AI.
bix6··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
The SEC should adjudicate more. The entire SPAC era should never have happened.
bix6··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
You mean like making up non-standard ARR calculations and not including your Q3 results in your initial S1 draft? Or you know hiding things in footnotes in the S1 so people don’t see the full math on your obligations?
bix6··on Anthropic reports $17B in Q3 revenue, commitments of $895B in revised S-1
Isn’t the whole reason companies go public now to dump on retail? What growth is left?

SpaceX is down, Cerebras is down, etc.

bix6··on Anthropic reports $17B in Q3 revenue, commitments of $895B in revised S-1
> we all know Anthropic's revenue will not be anything remotely like flatline for awhile.

How can you confidently say that? At some point they oversaturate and growth stalls. Didn’t F100 have a major pullback already this year on AI spend?

bix6··on Sam Altman: All the RAM Should Belong to Me, So I Can Charge People to Use It
Yes please attack my logic!
bix6··on Sam Altman: All the RAM Should Belong to Me, So I Can Charge People to Use It
This forum has a hard time championing anything that isn’t “logical” as if ethos and pathos are inferior for some reason.

The man caused a worldwide RAM shortage. Who gives a flip about context?

I’ll take lower utilization for on prem thanks. Should I give my solar panels to my power company so they can overcharge me too in the name of “efficiency”?

bix6··on Ask HN: uBlock Origin for the IoT devices in my house?
AdGuard home maybe?
bix6··on Trump Demands a Cut of Alina Habba's $50M Pardon Deal
It’s wild that nobody can overrule a pardon.
bix6··on The staggering $446M Elon Musk has spent on the US midterms – visualized
> A large portion of America Pac’s output focuses on attack ads against Democratic candidates such as Talarico, often accusing them of being radical socialists or targeting them over supporting transgender rights. The Pac has spent $28m on anti-Talarico content, including between $300,000 and 350,000 in October on a single Google ad targeting the Texas Senate candidate.

“James Talarico supports parents being charged with child abuse if they do not support transitioning their children,” stated the ad, which was shown more than 10m times over an eight day period.

How does Musk sleep at night?

bix6··on Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes
Awful everything is an American thing. We are cheap and boring in the name of lining some rich wackos pockets. It’s pathetic how gross most of the bathrooms are at national and state parks. These are the Crown Jewels of outdoor areas and we have disgusting, under maintenanced toilets with single ply (if you’re lucky).
bix6··on Restrooms along the Norwegian Scenic Routes
I would like to visit now. Makes America’s rest stops look even more pathetic and cheap when I see this grandeur.
