fantasizr··on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's letter to staff about affair
few of us can imagine the problems that come with being that type of leader/ceo. Knowing who trust and who is using you is a challenge
fantasizr··on Goldman Sachs is pulling Claude Code from its bankers and traders
every day we read a 'whoopsie my agent did XYZ, no mallace! (sic)'. Currently with relatively low stakes but still surprised how blasé people are.

fantasizr··on Apple’s grey list: Words and phrases your iPhone won’t help you spell
funny to think about the guy who thinks his keyboard is broken because he uses so many slurs day to day. the volume of words seems a touch excessive
fantasizr··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
Getting your app to run on the worst devices was artistry. Assuming the lowest IE and windows environment.
fantasizr··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
I personally recall hardware flexing going back to SGI, but nothing like "look at my salesforce spend".
fantasizr··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
My take was when people would post those large bills it was mostly to complain about Amazon or a process having gone wild for comedic purposes.
fantasizr··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
Agree I meant mostly in the vein of "look how much I can spend on XYZ because I'm rich and I can" with questionable value.
fantasizr··on YC's Garry Tan uses AI agents so much, he spends up to $200K a year on tokens
I can't recall software being conspicuous consumption until the advent of the AI token. Maybe the first "I am rich" app in the app store for $999.
fantasizr··on Mathematics has changed. Let's act like it
but philosophically could it create a problem it couldn't solve? And what would be the value in writing that out?
fantasizr··on Mathematics has changed. Let's act like it
fewer mathematicians means fewer problems to solve. All problems have human origin, right? Can AI create a problem on its own and what would be the point? Closer to can god create a stone he can't lift.
fantasizr··on The $6.3B Binance hack was pulled off in just 20 minutes
it's a pretty good tool if you need a ransom payment after you hack a hospital
fantasizr··on The Agent SDK
the tab era was the right mix for me. I retained all the mental context of what was going on and I could quickly ascertain if it had made a mistake. they just killed cmd+k for who knows why. Everything is agent or nothing 'easy' button slot machine pulls.
fantasizr··on Gen Z Is the First Generation Dumber Than Their Parents
it's not their fault. they were given addictive smartphones or have parents addicted to them, bad teachers, etc.
fantasizr··on How the Claude Code team does code review
if you take yourself out of the loop it will hurt your skills and career. Engineering blogs used to have some best practices you emulate, but the big ai companies you cannot mimic without their infrastructure
fantasizr··on I Know Why the Mathematicians Weep
aren't mathematicians needed to create the problems? Everything solved so far is a question posed by a human. Which is probably why cracking diseases is more difficult (apart from man made viruses :/)
fantasizr··on OpenCode 2.0
they deprecated the old layout which I very much preferred in open code desktop. I'm never in a rush so I'll wait for the early adopters to vouch for this release.
fantasizr··on OpenAI withdraws three mathematical results
flooding the system with parts that may be incorrect hurts the whole process and will get people to tune out (like politics). Can't see the International Mathematical Union making a similar mistake because it would do reputational harm. But the models don't care about their reputation. Bad for the layman - like me - to know what to make of all this.
fantasizr··on Plan mode is dead
yeah before all you needed was internet and an editor. Now to carry on it's $200 min
fantasizr··on There are no "rogue" AI agents
masking crime as innovation has been part of the tech playbook for a long time now
fantasizr··on Plan mode is dead
people actively deskilling themselves and becoming totally dependent on an ai pay to play service.
fantasizr··on Meta VR Glasses
people don't care about privacy; every post on snowden does well here but it's a fart in the wind to the general public
fantasizr··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
it is sorta sad that framework development will dry up with fewer incentives.
fantasizr··on I don't want to read what you didn't write
a whole organization just pressing "OK" intermittently
fantasizr··on What happened to the Snowden archive
thats the tough thing about investigative journalism / whistleblowers. You have to hope there's an audience who will care.
fantasizr··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
the 'arrest the parents!!!' has moved to the online domain, rightfully
fantasizr··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
=> If chess.com was worth billions and Daniel Rensch was threatening everyone to do what he says.
fantasizr··on A misalignment of AI in mathematics
AI bros here and elsewhere seem to come at Terry Tao with "not so smart now are you?" viciousness that is off-putting.
fantasizr··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
reminds me of the TOS episode of South Park. By Checking this box you forfeit your millennium prize solution and may be turned into a human centipede at future date.
fantasizr··on GPT-6 Astra
indie hacking seems dead-ish because everything can just be cloned instantly, and if you don't have a serious go to market plan with a latent user base you're SOL.
fantasizr··on GPT-6 Astra
I stopped caring about the latest and greatest but because there's so much, the 'obsolete' free models do what I need and are worth the price.
