cenobyte··on The Anti-Palantir Manifesto
Europe and Asia have it much much worse than we do on the surveillance state.

Ask anyone in jail for social media posts in the UK.

Ask any Chinese citizen about their social score and how it's adjusted.

So this sounds like an Anti-American and Anti-Palantir rant.

cenobyte··on Claude Sonnet 5
Claude Sonnet 5 is built to be the most agentic Sonnet model yet.

or

The Dodge Charger is built to be the most Charger like car yet.

cenobyte··on Germany's Sovereign Tech Fund Backs KDE with €1.3M
So they have money to throw away? because there is no path to profit....
cenobyte··on Why Do the Police Exist? (2020)
The author of this article is so stupid it hurts just to read it.
cenobyte··on Ford F-150 Lightning outsold the Cybertruck and was then canceled for poor sales
I would gladly own a Cybertruck if prices come down.

Approximately 100k for a truck of any type is ridiculous.

no.

So much better. Thank you!
cenobyte··on Show HN: Tattoy – a text-based terminal compositor
Because why shouldn't my terminal be the largest consumer of memory on my PC?
cenobyte··on Getting forked by Microsoft
Not to be mean, but if you don't like the consequences of using an MIT license then don't use it.

Using it then complaining about its effects because you don't like the company is silly.

Use a different license if this is important to you.

cenobyte··on Generative AI Hype Peaking
Anyone who thinks the Hype has peaked is obviously too young to remember the dotcom bubble.

It will get so much worse before it starts to fade.

Infecting every commercial, movie plot, and article that you read.

I can still here the Yahoo yodel in my head from radio and TV commercials.

cenobyte··on More thoughts on the 1670 modem's weird noises
Sounds like your Vic 20 and/or power supply isn't shielded very well and its making your speakers do weird things.
cenobyte··on Can we deter tech monopolies through reformed open source software development?
No.
cenobyte··on LA County's guaranteed income program to give some foster youth $1k per month
As a programmer from a bad family, group home, foster family background myself.

$1k per month without working or struggle would have destroyed me.

Imagine all the weed and whiskey I could have bought for that? (Which is what I would have done)

Instead of working I would have been lazy.

Homelessness and hunger was my major motivator and made me work in fast food while dreaming of computers.

The lack of struggle would have crippled my drive.
