Whats the storage capacity? No really :-)

But you're happy living in a country built on the bones of ??? run by warmongering ???

Perfect software doesn't need to be maintained. TM

zstd is not zip and pkware has long been irrelevant

All hail the actual time lord

Sounds like a case of... if it's too easy too find, too many people find it...? Aka. "Google ruins everything"?

Umm.. yes it can. Common interests are WAAAY overrated. It's barely even a starting point... asymmetry is there it's at, why "partner" with yourself, when you can partner with your literal compliment, someone who has what you lack.... to make not just a bigger half, but an actual whole?!

Sparknotes spawned a quiz site, TheSpark, that eventually morphed into OKCupid... that started out being successful because it gamified making quizzes for people, and then stumbled on the miracle of asymmetrical matching. Ie. matching people not based on common interests per se, but on curiosity... or "satisfying" their curiosity. Turned out to be a great way to get to know yourself, and what you are really looking for... I'm sure a lot of people figured out what to look for in their true ideal partners, and some even managed to meet them on the site... Match.com takeover obviously completely ruined everything... rooting for more copies, hell, even a decentralized protocol, that can bring back notjust the romantic, but also the platonic- and self-insight-giving parts of TheSpark...

Ah... the graph of "how many real programmers are left".

... another factor... don't underestimate the power of Google's algorithm to subvert. Don't have to look far for examples. What's the source of most of their traffic?

SO is still the best evergreen forum for a bunch of things. Not to mention, how much dumber would today's almost-not-dumb AI's be without its data?! Not everyone should measure their "health" in terms of foot traffic. "The best things on the internet can't be measured?" ... a modern counterpart to "can't buy me love?"

"one of the first ai powered, self hosted" seems more accurate

Great... but... https://suno.com/song/129e43d9-e81a-48db-a343-332dc3e0b01c https://suno.com/song/5c91ab31-dcd9-487b-9483-89cb2c9b4380

I prefer her singing C source, especially @karpathy's: https://suno.com/song/2a210337-62fc-49f8-8850-9af12e06e6e0

I guess it solves for tiny community centered around a clean language, which it has, as well as Linux Distributions and Desktop Environments mostly written in Vala, like ElementaryOS and Pantheon. Related HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32787251

just type ^D silly

But the most fun you can have with it is "exit(); {insert_random_acronym}_sim.exe"

April 1's was the best. I tried to create mark_andreesen to see what it should do when I added e/acc castle, and it refused, saying that it can't afford it. https://twitter.com/pmarca/status/1774859497246212380 .. wish I saved more of it, and the !save commands were real

How?

Its not about attitude, its about logic: bottlenecks. Why do you want to bottleneck your own sales? Makes no sense.

Maybe you should. How else are people supposed to live in reality?!

Bad article, doesn't explain what it can do that git can't.

All of the above, stealing of money, secrets, AI model weights, destruction, access to crypto passphrases, spam, impersonation, blackmail ... maybe not directly to systems with good security, but its like picking a lock, every bit of progress helps, security exists in layers, and one weak layer compromises the next... ssh is a pretty fundamental technology, and highly trusted.

There are wonderfully colorful podcasts about this. Darknet Diaries is pretty decent, and entertaining, for public consumption.

Models are already general, and you can set them to recursively self improve narrowly and still need humans in the loop for general improvement... but those humans are only going to get less... so change your years into months instead and multiply by rand(2)... and change the hire-backs into more startups doing more things...?

I wonder how many levels deep the optimum is, or how a news site could be constructed that filtered journalists based on some quiz or something... Probably most of what we read is attributed or presented out of context. But if we read the sources of those, we probably sometimes get closer to some vestige of objectivity. We probably never get to the truth, but maybe at level 3 or 4 we are at least more informed than probably 90% or more of the world. I mean, even the original sources are probably usually misinformed. Maybe that's all that reality is: a labyrinth of misinformation, with an exit ... somewhere... maybe it's even a labyrinth we loved, and chose to play, perhaps not realizing the odds or implications.

No, because it takes more than 5 minutes just to install dependencies, and another 10 minutes to fix the instructions and create a pull request... but it looks neat! Thanks for sharing.

Boots into 8086-mode for free! And supports breadboard speeds and ttl voltages! Who needs a z80/6502 when there are millions of these still lying around? Play with cache, protected-mode, MMU... Imagine an open source 486 motherboard I can order from a PCB company... this reminds me of a Wi-Fi router I bought in the early 2000's that had a 386 in it. I never did check if it ran Linux. And Parallel to Ethernet converter that had a 286 in it... to think that the 286 predated Linux.

In fairness, it's not like they're not giving people access. I'm sure Google is at least a few years ahead, and you have to wonder what they have been doing with it, keeping it all to themselves.

Giving it to everyone might improve our chances at having a balance of power. As things stand, they're betting that there won't be much competition, and that they can handle it all on their own.
