hyperhello··on PVX-001: open-source Covid-19 vaccine starts Phase 1 trial
I assume it's not patented or copyrighted?
hyperhello··on Show HN: Jevman – AI decision models play Pac-Man
Speculating, but it seems like needing to be able to change direction at any moment would be more calculating, not less.

It may not matter if the ghosts' next move is predictable over that maximum distance.
hyperhello··on I think I found a planet nobody knew existed. I used Claude Code to find it
I'm sorry. But what that means makes perfect sense to me; he can combine any two of his data points to predict the third.
hyperhello··on Calling a function in C without naming it
I don’t know how your school system works, but are you sure they put you in the right educational level?
hyperhello··on Couple was swatted 55 times in 2 years over a post about Norm Macdonald
This is one of those things where someday people will not believe this was common enough that there was a word for it.
hyperhello··on A browser-native classic Visual Basic VB6 IDE
Are you sure? A UI based on instant gratification? Seeing everything simply blink into place instantly might not be as fun as you think after the newness wears out.

Anyway, if you really want to, you can emulate old OSs with a very fast modern computer. Some emulators even bridge the network and file system to support enough that you can really live in it.

hyperhello··on Mac OS 9 Platinum desktop recreated in the browser
The details of this aren’t Platinum, it’s just colored similarly.

The power relationship between the computer and the human has shifted since then. We want our computers to run slower so we don’t feel quite so inferior.
hyperhello··on We're going to need default hard budget caps on pretty much everything
These shouldn't even exist without a negotiated contract.

I can subscribe to your service for a specific fee on a monthly basis ($20/month say), and take the risk of losing that month's fee if your service or I make mistakes, or I can choose to drop another $20 mid-month, or anything for convenience.

Saying that the computer will "control" the billing and can run haywire tells me that I don't want to be anywhere near your pile of bad incentives.

hyperhello··on Tell HN: I Hate Codex with Passion
Um, you can put in $20 for more tokens any time.
hyperhello··on I am so tired of this bullshit
People who sound like AI when they write, even if they’re liked and productive, have become identifiable because of the overload of ML text. Maybe at some point we’ll identify precisely what we don’t like about the results of telling AI to write, and we’ll become better for it. Patterns are just neutral, really.
hyperhello··on Show HN: Lathoa, a math app for kids where the AI is wrong on purpose
That's orthogonal. Anyone can make a LLC, file a patent, apply for a trademark, do it any way you want.
hyperhello··on Show HN: Lathoa, a math app for kids where the AI is wrong on purpose
I've come around. I think there's really nothing wrong with guiding AI to develop a speculative, experimental, personal project. You're going to see rough edges, but guess what? You see rough edges when you write your own code, too. The process of fixing them is the same process either way: see and adjust.
hyperhello··on LinkedIn Larpmaxxing
It’s part of the Microsoft network of properties that make everything harder to get up in the morning.
hyperhello··on The Beatles have permeated research papers across academic disciplines
It’s a smartphone comment with a lot of layers, a glass onion if you will.
hyperhello··on The Beatles have permeated research papers across academic disciplines
Help! me guess how to translate the headline. People decorate their papers with quotes from the song lyrics. And the article decorated that with words from scientific research like “permeate”, maybe “meta”, could find “tertiary research” in here? Fun!
hyperhello··on The Greatest Pun in JavaScript
Good job, I definitely felt punished.
hyperhello··on Show HN: Building a Markdown editor for Mac, iOS and web
What if any other app starts uploading the files too, though?
hyperhello··on The Normalization of Inexplicable Failures
If you spend more time with a product, you’re more likely to choose to do it again, even if it’s because of failure or annoyance. You’d justify it somehow (I have a leg up now or something). This actually applies to looking at things as well; a brightly colored box on the supermarket shelf is simply more likely to be chosen because you look at it first and longer.

Wasting your time and resources is a power signifier, but getting you to waste your own time and your own resources is hegemony.

hyperhello··on Fifteen years later, the Apple Cards origin story
I’ve dealt with difficult bosses myself so I’d appreciate a legendary story like that.
hyperhello··on Fifteen years later, the Apple Cards origin story
I like these comments that basically say working for Steve Jobs was hard. They carry a legend that is almost creative writing. Every year Steve Jobs becomes more of an evil genius villain-bastard hobbit-creature spreading the seeds of every sadistic personality disorder.
hyperhello··on Uncle's frozen Mac says it's infected after viewing a Google ad. Now what?
I have noticed that it is possible to lag a browser sandbox very badly in some ways like making it deal with stack overflow (the condition not the site). Chrome can’t handle text files past a certain size and goes nutty. So if you put enough into frames maybe you could really stun it while a malware message shows.
hyperhello··on Earth is tearing apart beneath the Pacific Northwest

Nice picture.

hyperhello··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
Drawing sneakers the right way is what separates our society from savagery.
hyperhello··on Google’s Project Suncatcher to put ML infrastructure in space
I assume the kilometer-size array would not be series-wired.
hyperhello··on Search – A small, fast WebKit browser for macOS
We used to say, use an open source product and inspect and compile it yourself.

Now endless frameworks and everything make that impossible. So the next step is probably to describe the thing you want to your own AI, in plain English, and have it code it itself.

Of course that will only work until we start using frameworks and everything…sigh.

hyperhello··on GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
It’s not a coincidence if they had already found the problem, wrote up the solution, primed it for action, and then it sat in some “management queue” for essentially forever, until someone called someone with a go.
hyperhello··on GitHub has not removed malicious imitation software after 3 weeks
If we have no way to strike back, they will simply suck every drop of blood out the way you use every part of the buffalo. There is no way to escape Microsoft when they just buy everything and turn it into part of their garbage moat.
hyperhello··on Japanese used bookstores see 5x sales surge as books are being bought by the ton
They are the memories of the productive part of society. You can leaf through them and get the feel of what it was like. You don’t need most of your memories, personality, or core ideals to be productive to the State.
