ctrlaltdileep··on Jensen Huang resigns
Well, turns out there really might be a 3rd affair based on how the internet is buzzing. Seems to have been found out a bit after the resignation: https://www.reuters.com/technology/former-nvidia-ceo-huang-h...
ctrlaltdileep··on AlphaProof Code
This is pretty cool. I appreciate that they reintroduced security bugs into the implementation to confirm that their process was actually catching issues. I feel like so many "look what AI did!" articles these days focus on the fact that AI did something and not about whether it did it correctly or not. Nevertheless I hope we will get more reliable libraries and dependencies out of this.
ctrlaltdileep··on I'm not convinced the AI bubble exists
Thanks for pointing that out. That has been my concern as well. Sure the post says "they make $2.08 for every $1 of compute" but that seems to only be accounting for OPEX. If we start accounting for CAPEX and variations with interest rates things look a lot less rosy. I mean a lot of folks are suspecting Anthropic will get a junk bond rating when it rolls out to public markets.
ctrlaltdileep··on Writing as a thinking tool
Agreed, I used to role my eyes when my professors asked me to do things like pseudocode (which I still don't do too much) but the act of writing an outline for the general structure of a program always helped me get over the initial hump of starting a new project.
ctrlaltdileep··on Llama-modchip: 284B DeepSeek on 64GB RAM, no GPU
hm... this is the first time. TIL something from the HN comments more than the actual article. I'm relatively new to the AI space and the idea of quantization is something I'll have to take forward when evaluating future models.
ctrlaltdileep··on Upload Your RAM
Its interesting because I was at Costco the other day and they weren't even selling PCs unless they were gaming ones. It seems most consumer electronics have switched over to laptops.

Also, this reminds me so much of the download more RAM ads back in the day.

That's kind of shocking. I guess the swarm of AI related vulnerability findings continues.
ctrlaltdileep··on AI is forcing us to pay off 40 years of technical debt
I think what's fascinating is that the mentality of "It's too painful to attack" as a security strategy isn't working anymore in the era of AI. A lot of open issues and bugs were kept because folks assumed as long as they were less vulnerable than other folks they would be fine. However I think that paradigm is being phased out since AI can take the pain of sifting through decades of old code for us to find these vulnerabilities.
ctrlaltdileep··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Thank you for sharing! I've been looking for interfaces that let me access all the sites I regularly use but without the algorithm. This seems to be exactly what I'm looking for!
ctrlaltdileep··on Digital minimalism
This really resonates for me. I've gone back and forth on staying on social media given the mental side effects but also how useful it can be. I was on Instagram one day and I noticed that only one in five posts it showed me were from people I actually followed. I found a feature that let met only see stuff from people I followed (Insta makes this hard to find and use) and I felt a lot more at peace when scrolling my feed. Maybe I need to look for a firefly equivalent for it.
ctrlaltdileep··on CSS-Tricks has a new owner
I agree with this. In my day to day I've started AI as a glorified "look this up for me" thing and hardly look at reference sites anymore. It's a shame because I really did admire CSS-Tricks when I was starting out and referenced their stuff often. I'll be rooting for them though!
ctrlaltdileep··on We should be more ambitious with the software we build
First time I've heard the term coordination tax. Thanks for sharing, I've encountered this in a lot of projects as we added more people. Glad to have a word for it now!
ctrlaltdileep··on Local Wikipedia: Wikipedia, but only for things a half hour walk from you
Very cool, I imagine this would be useful for someone having moved to somewhere new. I'm planning a potential move so will definitely be using this!
ctrlaltdileep··on Meta ordered to pay $25B penalty in New Mexico Cambridge Analytica case
Woah, I remember hearing about the Cambridge Analytica stuff for the first time in 2020 from watching "The Social Dilemma". I'm surprised there is still legal fall out from that. Also 15% interest until the fine is paid in full is wild. Wonder where they are going to get the cash given how much has been going to AI.
