fatata123··on Every Mac comes with an (undocumented) family member classifier
So only the parts that matter, you ai slopped. Great work.
fatata123··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
I think physics will be the limiting factor. Even if something recursively self improves, it will hit a physical wall allowed by circuits, batteries etc. A lot of the fear is that there’s an upper bound we don’t know about, whether it be time or energy, that allows a fast takeoff to occur fast enough that we dong have time to see it coming. I don’t know about that… so I’m not worried at this point.
fatata123··on Grok 4.7
Based on not being an idiot. Simple observation is enough.
fatata123··on AI is removing the middle class of software engineering?
Eventually pigs will fly. Oh look anyone can just say ridiculous things will happen with no proof, and mentioning self driving cars does not help your case at all.
fatata123··on No LLM Code in Dependencies
In ten years, crypto will be the world’s primary currency. Oh look, stupid hot takes aren’t that hard to have after all.
fatata123··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
No offense but have you considered the strong possibility that you’re just not good at what you do? I am occassionally pleased but mostly annoyed or disappointed… but never getting anything close to chills. That sounds downright weird.
fatata123··on Midjourney Medical
If that’s your thinking, I’m sorry but you’re just a sucker.
fatata123··on Cybersecurity researchers aren't happy about the guardrails on Anthropic's Fable
They have no choice, enterprise customers won’t touch them unless they take a position like this. It’s a practical decision for them at the end of the the day.
fatata123··on Protestware for coding agents
Well, the main difference is that code describes predictable behaviour, whereas prompts are just a precursor to a general ‘direction’ of behaviour which depends highly on the model (and supporting augmentations) that is ingesting it.

By the way, vscode extensions are part of the reason I moved to Zed… so trust is still important even in the age of llms

fatata123··on Production engineering when trading billions of dollars a day [video]
Get a dishwasher. Don’t rely on a car. There are plenty of life changing effeciency hacks that can free up hours of time a day.
fatata123··on I built GitHub Store to 12,500 stars in 6 months – I started at 16
Actually it is a shame. It doesn’t “polish” it, it turns it into generic irritating slop, with the same style all AI slop is written in. It screams “the person who made this is lazy”. It is frankly an insult to the reader.

Maybe English isn’t your first language so you don’t appreciate that, but I promise if it was done in your native language it would piss you off.

fatata123··on The Social Edge of Intelligence: Individual Gain, Collective Loss
The reality is that we are hitting a plateau that’s taking us as far as transformer architecture will allow us. Until another breakthrough happens, I heavily doubt we’re on the cusp of anything, instead it’s clear that things are levelling out.
fatata123··on How will OpenAI compete?
You’re comparing a single app with an entire ecosystem and app marketplace. Poor comparison.
fatata123··on Breaking the spell of vibe coding
Injecting bias into an already biased model doesn’t make decision smarter, it just makes them faster.
fatata123··on Rob Pike goes nuclear over GenAI
It’s not a thank you letter. It’s AI slop.
fatata123··on GPT-5.2
Because not everyone makes their decisions through the prism of politics
fatata123··on MIT Study Finds AI Use Reprograms the Brain, Leading to Cognitive Decline
LLMs are plateauing, and you’re in denial.
fatata123··on Why are 2025/05/28 and 2025-05-28 different days in JavaScript?
Like genital herpes, I am stuck with it. I might as well learn to like it. And eventually convert others across to the cause.
fatata123··on Is God a Mushroom?
Once in a blue moon is fine but at that frequency? Sounds like you’re just short circuiting your brain and enjoying the sprays while they last.
fatata123··on Revolt: Open-Source Alternative to Discord
Ones that are offended by a lighthearted joke. Sounds like a plus
fatata123··on Codeberg Down
What are you even trying to say with that? The troll got what they wanted, attention.
fatata123··on Modern-Day Oracles or Bullshit Machines? How to thrive in a ChatGPT world
We are not stochastic parrots. Old components of our brain help “ground” our thoughts and allow things like doubt or a gut feeling to develop which means we can question ourselves in ways an LLM cannot.
fatata123··on Show HN: I built an active community of trans people online
There’s a fine line between ‘open’ and ‘perverted’.
