Unless you have solar and batteries there aren't cheap energy prices :).
johnbellone··on Cloudflare acquires Deno
Very unfortunate. I’ve been using Deno for years and recently embedding the runtime into applications/platforms for agents. I’ll continue to use it and hope a community springs up.

Very fast you were.

Google and Facebook have profitable businesses.
johnbellone··on A warning about 'model welfare'
Is it, though?

If we ever found other species that were consciousness they wouldn't automatically be "human" nor would they have the same legal rights. That's as simple as looking at the many countries that treat different castes, women or minorities differently. In parts of America a zygote has human rights.

johnbellone··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
That shouldn’t surprise anyone.

You believe who ever said that?

Yes.

They did not get forced.

You forgot the '/s'.

Ding ding!
johnbellone··on Anthropic drops flagship safety pledge
Pepperidge farm remembers when they left OpenAI due to their principles. Perhaps that was never the case.

Public benefit corporation, hm?

The other providers have already capitulated to a certain extent.
johnbellone··on Show HN: Minikv – Distributed key-value and object store in Rust (Raft, S3 API)
I am not going to pretend to know what this person did, but I've definitely modified many things at once and made distinct commits after the fact (within 30s). I do not find it that abnormal.
johnbellone··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
I wanted to learn a new(ish) skill and am building a button box for sim racing with Arduino Nano, momentary switches, etc. It has been about twenty years since I’ve touched a soldering iron or built any kind of breadboard circuit.
johnbellone··on Latest SteamOS Beta Now Includes Ntsync Kernel Driver
That absolutely makes sense. Thanks for a quick TLDR!

Did you try loading the browser as a non-game application?

To be honest, I primarily do my browsing offline, and I installed https://localsend.org using Flatpak to move files to/from the Steam Deck. It works amazingly well.

johnbellone··on US will ban Wall Street investors from buying single-family homes
Until congress actually does something all of this is simply hot air. I do not see how this could be implemented (other than some kind of tax) and pass muster with a conservative SCOTUS.
johnbellone··on AWS raises GPU prices 15% on a Saturday, hopes you weren't paying attention
To me this all seems like downstream from massive capital expenses on GPU purchases, driving up the demand for memory, etc. It begs the question of how much of the GPU capacity that has been sold/delivered actually being utilized? Are we paying across the board for a bunch of inventory sitting idle?
johnbellone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
I’d be upset and disapprove, but I wouldn’t ask them to bring him back.
johnbellone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
It isn’t denial it is tribalism at this point.
johnbellone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
I don’t really care to get involved of the affairs of foreign governments. This isn’t about “narcoterrorism” or democracy. You’re a fool if you think that.
johnbellone··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
Delusions until the end.
johnbellone··on AMD officially confirms fresh next-gen Zen 6 CPU details
The biggest difference for me for PCIe 5.0 has been additional bandwidth for my M2 drive.
johnbellone··on AMD officially confirms fresh next-gen Zen 6 CPU details
I really wish I would've bought 192G when it was less than a few thousand dollars!
johnbellone··on State Department to deny visas to fact checkers and others, citing 'censorship'
> How are we supposed to fact-check this!

You aren’t.

johnbellone··on Warner Bros Begins Exclusive Deal Talks With Netflix
That studio has produced a lot of great video games, too. But we need more variety in ownership. Not everything can be owned by conservative leaning billionaires.
johnbellone··on Warner Bros Begins Exclusive Deal Talks With Netflix
I’ll take my chances with Netflix rather than an empire of media moguls.
