bushbaba··on Today, we hacked what we'd set out to hack: the iPhone
Maybe with LLMs a full rewrite that’s more secure could be done
bushbaba··on Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?
Amazon’s edge is logistics. That’s not something you can vibe code
bushbaba··on DuckDB 2.0.0 LTS “Cinnamon Teal”
Amazing we did the exact same thing at work. Been working great. A lot of BI datasets can fit within sub 20MiB of ZSTD compressed parquet.
bushbaba··on Anthropic logged net loss of over $80B in first half of 2026
When you spend 1k/month of LLM api calls. That doesn’t sound all too unreasonable to have locally in the near future.
bushbaba··on Google Cloud outage affects almost all banking and other operations in Europe
Thundering heards during zonal outage is fairly common across the providers. You are substantially better off being multi-regional than multi-zonal.
bushbaba··on Ukraine claims first drone evacuation of wounded soldier
Why must every thread bring up Israel? This has nothing to do with it.

However Israel has and does evacuate soldiers.

bushbaba··on How Quickly Can the DoD Rebuild and Recast the Munitions Industrial Base?
They work in GPS contested environments.
bushbaba··on How Quickly Can the DoD Rebuild and Recast the Munitions Industrial Base?
That 13mil also covers r&d costs as well as the actual manufacturing costs. If we needed 10000+ the cost would go down
bushbaba··on Gen Z Is the First Generation Dumber Than Their Parents
There’s already a turn around. It’s the Covid policies at play and refusal to hold back failing students. My local district is already starting to see test scores improve
bushbaba··on Anthropic revenue jumps to $16.8B in third quarter
Makes you wonder how much of q3 revenue growth was early on. And what’s the current MoM growth.
bushbaba··on ASML's strong orders ease fears AI spending boom is running out of steam
Sure but if you bought a broad index you were fine
bushbaba··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
This is why open source wins for security. The more able you are to audit and decentralize the better.
bushbaba··on Gemini 4 Argon
Curious what this means for the anthropic ipo. Between this and meta, seems like there’s zero moat
bushbaba··on Satya Nadella says we should assume all AI models are 'compromised'
You assume he’s a human and not a super intelligent being himself
bushbaba··on A plastic once thought harmless may be fueling fatty liver disease
What does this mean for Pex and other plastic water mains?
bushbaba··on Microsoft-Decision-1, our model for fast decision-making
That’s where Apple is moving to as well. The models doing the implementation work need not be better than opus 4.6. And locally available hardware to run this already exists and likely will be sub 2k of 2026 dollars in a few years time.
bushbaba··on Man discovers his parents' coffee machine used 1TB of data in 10 days
Sure and how do you outlaw this behavior. It’s near impossible is my remark.
bushbaba··on Typesafe AI raises $870M at $7.5B
A major VC could type safe ai money, then head to a larger AI company looking to raise their series E+ and demand they acquire typesafe as part of their funding allotment.

such an arrangement can end up beneficial to the VC firm

bushbaba··on Man discovers his parents' coffee machine used 1TB of data in 10 days
You can’t realistically stop this. The industry is international and any interaction being shared across companies allows you to build this profile. It’s impossible to be fully private while having the openness of our internet interactions. You can try to limit the implications but that’s it
bushbaba··on Paramount Skydance has completed its $111B merger with Warner Bros. Discovery
You keep saying he’s donated to the IDF. Do you have any source for that? Now if you mean FIDF, that is an organization which is somewhat equivalent to the USO program. Not really “military”, in the sense that no munitions were bought.
bushbaba··on Paramount Skydance has completed its $111B merger with Warner Bros. Discovery
What an anti semetic remark. You seem to have no issue with Saudi owning a major portion of tech, a country where lgtbq, woman’s, freedom of speech, and minority rights is not really a thing.
bushbaba··on Mistral Large 4
Not just compute but energy. Most of Europe has no access to the cost effective power generation needed
bushbaba··on Mistral Large 4
How it should be. Knowledge should not be copyrighted. The world will be a better place with such information democratized
bushbaba··on LeCun has "zero concerns" about AI wiping out humanity, recent "rogue" incidents
If we plug this AI into robotics, to automate the procurement and delivery of power, your argument goes away
bushbaba··on Our Project Suncatcher prototype satellite is in orbit
What about, never? The fuel cost of launching these are immense. I'm not seeing how this is 'cheaper' this doesn't even take into consideration cooling.

BUT it doesn't need to be cheaper for there to be value. Its much harder to shoot down a space GPU farm than a terrestrial one. And its closer to space assets which might want it for targeting during times of war.

You could argue this was true prior to AI. A lot of the workforce is doing questionable value bureaucracy
bushbaba··on Sites in ChatGPT
Its not for those uses cases. though. THink about squarespace/wix hosting all the company landing pages, restaurant menus, daycares. This will replace it.
bushbaba··on Sites in ChatGPT
You'll need less people but not no people.
bushbaba··on Google breaks promise to provide 10 years of updates to Chromebooks
You’d be surprised I’m sure some schools did have it last that long
bushbaba··on Gemini 4 Argon
Yes and no. Microsoft is likely looking at open weight models and going oh, this is just as good or better than we could do, without the training costs, and we simply are an inference commodity provider where azure already operates. Count us in.
