imhoguy··on A thousand fewer paths to root
It is effort & probability game, and very often lack of information is the only advantage - security by obscurity. Even completly unplugged system probability of security breach is higher than zero, as somebody with enough determination can breach the physical place security protections and just sit at the machine and turn it on.
imhoguy··on How I use AI (Oct 2026)
TIL: AI Doompop
imhoguy··on The $6.3B Binance hack was pulled off in just 20 minutes
Hacking bank and stealing money from there is not so easy as stealing 32 characters private crypto key. Even if you steal some data from bank, using is is another challenge. With crypto key you just use an open source client on your machine to move the crypto.
imhoguy··on Cross-request KV cache exposure in the GLM-5.3 Workers AI model (155 responses)
Still you may get traces of previous tenant if things are not cleaned up properly.
imhoguy··on The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
Todays natural language program won't work tomorrow due to unstable nature of natural language.

Apart of natural evolution of meanings, look at Orwellian limitations some (cloud) models impose on is that our natural language program become illegal. Due to topic or combination of words the program needs to be flagged and soon likely reported to three leter agency.

Next, RMS would ask: can you make your own natural language program compiler from scratch? I know we have (very expensive) local models, but wait until GPUs get a propper online subscriptions to work and surveillance taps.

imhoguy··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
We have biggest fussion reactor available to us on the sky everyday relatively for free. But that won't stop our greed and overpopulation.
imhoguy··on I built a programming language that LLMs can't use
Ough, South Park "Smug Alert!" episode has came to my mind.
imhoguy··on I built a programming language that LLMs can't use
Most of SOTAs would trip out on "HateSpeak" programming language.
imhoguy··on Why isn't the industry freaking out about DeepSeek 4.1 Flash?
Could you please share which ones? I need serious ones with generic DPA but without Enterprise plan costs.
imhoguy··on Anthropic reported diary entry to police, woman faces felony charge
Don't try to translate any crime stories, and for goodness sake don't mention Matallica's debut album /s
imhoguy··on Let's Ditch Google (Verb)
Searching is dying. I mostly hear "ask Claude/ChatGPT" these days. Googling will most of the time result in wall of slop on the first page unless you search with the exact source or site hint.
imhoguy··on Claude partial outage
Ah, so disabling auto-mode is their monkey rate limiter.
imhoguy··on The problem is not AI code, but not knowing about system architecture or intent
Absolutely, I should really put "/s" after that.

Really I was thinking about exact example announced recently on HN: Postgres rewirte in Rust, it has 3 versions looks like each one generated from scratch https://github.com/malisper/pgrust

imhoguy··on The problem is not AI code, but not knowing about system architecture or intent
"Getting requirements, user feedback, tests, product vision", that also apply to iterations. Iterative processes are just a cascade of small waterfalls - either a scrum week or just a single agent session (define, prompt, plan, implement, verify)

But today you can do even better, with AI can do true waterfall by rewriting from scratch many times.

imhoguy··on The problem is not AI code, but not knowing about system architecture or intent
Wow, I think you have never had a chance to communicate with someone selling their expertise for $2/h. Unless your time is also worth $2/h, I think you would get better results prompting local 27B model.
imhoguy··on Don't couple your Go code to GitHub
I think we need better handle to the original location/author/project than a domain. Any of such "go" proxy is yet another SPOF.

We should lean towards IPNS (Name Seever part of IPFS) or some distribited ledger.

imhoguy··on When did Google get so weird?
I am worried the old net is slowly dying and any "before:2015" or "before:2020" search results will vanish soon.
imhoguy··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
> I have other things to do with my brief adventure on this planet.

Thank you for that simple wisdom for today.

imhoguy··on Heretic removes restrictions from language models
You can still lease GPU farm in many "easy" countries.
imhoguy··on UTF-8000: Unlimited UTF-8
Alright, so now we can fit an entire LLM model into one character.
imhoguy··on Jemalloc 5.4.0
I upvoted it because I benefit from jemalloc in my stack (RoR) and I am tired of AI taking over HN front page. Let the hacker spirit be back!
imhoguy··on Hacking OpenAI
The surface of potential issues is growing with complexity of all connected parts of the system. That applies to not only software. To prevent issues you either spend proportional amount (dollars, tokens, hours) on testing or reduce complexity of the system.
imhoguy··on Neovim have a ~$800k Bitcoin donation sitting untouched since 2023
Worse when crypto exchange bosses go missing https://archive.is/lPpRz
imhoguy··on Why I'm still bearish on LLMs after Navier-Stokes
This. Listening and creative customer support rep, especially one who can even escalate fundamental product issues to company leadership is worth weight of gold.
imhoguy··on I resigned from Anthropic today
Even if AI won't be self-aware and superintelligent agent, its problem is that it gives exponential control and power capabilities to one person bad actor who can simply prompt AI without any guardrails with access to sensitive industrial infrastructure which can disrupt lifes and ecosystems in the real world:

   - virus research labs
   - nuclear labs
   - chemical factories
   - bank records
   - land registers
   - power plants
   - water supply and treatment plants
and so on, but I think even biohacking home kit maybe the spark.
imhoguy··on I resigned from Anthropic today
"patch everything" - there is no such way in the Universe unless you reduce "everything" complexity to just one electron. The higher the complexity the higher the surface of messing things.
imhoguy··on WebFPGA
My first thought: yet another web browsers standard.
imhoguy··on My Business Is Dying
But how you get authentic and engaging for bank statement converter? People search for it to solve particular problem in the first place, not to hear your life story.

And regarding face on video, I just got stuned with video of 106 years old giving life advices and all people but one in comment section didn't notice it is well generated.

imhoguy··on My Business Is Dying
No, the problem is too much (sloppy) content dilutes good conent. Searching for good content became impossible, so instead people go straight to AI to ask.
imhoguy··on My Business Is Dying
Content marketing is dying because content slop is massively generated now.
