jubilanti··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
First, 'nearby' can be a 1 hr drive and still be worth it to commute every few days. Second, tornadoes, storms, and floods have exactly that pattern where damage can be block by block.

But it is still cheaper to stockpile some generators and gas than stockpile a cybertruck. If there's an EV charging station up within a 1 hr drive, gas stations are also going to be up.

jubilanti··on The SEC Should Block Anthropic's IPO to Protect the Public
The law is the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1913, among others, and it is intentionally incredibly vague when it comes to what counts as anticompetitive.
jubilanti··on Molly (Signal fork) has not been updated since 3 months and is vulnerable
> *for 3 months - learn to spell

Don't you mean "learn grammar"?

If you're going to be an insulting pedant, at least be correct about it.

jubilanti··on ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)
What is inherently immoral about having an open marriage? Did MLK go around preaching about the sanctity of monogamous marriages? No.

How were his orgies any different in moral character than the orgies the effective altruists throw?

jubilanti··on Raspberry Pi Zero 3W and Pi 4 Model A spotted in device trees
I wouldn't hold out hope for an easier out of the box wifi antenna. If you want a U.FL antenna for the built-in wifi, there has to be a physical switch (cost, fragility) or a built-in antenna connected to U.FL you can replace (same issues) or the same cut and solder pattern for wifi antennas across chips like ESPs, nRFs, and others.

Just use a USB adapter with a decent antenna.

jubilanti··on Tailscale SSH: Investigation and remediation update
As added candy to their daemon to get you into their ecosystem
jubilanti··on R/open source bans all solo projects and projects using LLMs
> the goal of open source software is

That phrase has as much inherent meaning as "the goal of software" or "the goal of technology." People have different goals for technology and society. This is normal.

jubilanti··on Cerebras Deploys Trillion-Parameter AI Models
I'm sure they were planning on running old models forever, but now that they've read your comment, they'll be motivated to get back to work.

Thanks for your contribution to the discussion.

jubilanti··on AI and the Enclosure of the Scientific Commons
You have read more paper(s) or you have had an AI that is RLHFed to please the median consumer who reads at an 8th grade level summarize more papers than ever?

jubilanti··on Quad9 to exit France
Per each infraction. They said they currently have 20 other cases pending. And who knows how many would be to come.
jubilanti··on OpenAI CLI
It is the equivalent of GitHub's `gh` binary that wraps their API for an easier DX than cURL

Take that stick out of your ass.

jubilanti··on If you don't run your own LLM proxy, how do you know whats going on?
Yeah you should run an LLM proxy, but imagine a world where LiteLLM and all the other LLM shovels weren't buggy vibecoded messes. And with the velocity of updates I feel there has to be vulnerabilities there. Or am I just holding it wrong? Anyone got a good alternative?
jubilanti··on Amsterdam police confiscates server left-wing ISP A/I at American request
It is still wild to me than no European laws were broken, yet the US can just declare a group of EU citizens a terrorist organization and the EU is compelled to do whatever the US says. Does the EU have sovereignty? Where did they sign that away?
jubilanti··on Qualcomm Legally Proves Arm Breached Its License, Wins $2
The real issue is not the damages, but:

> whether Arm's breach lets Qualcomm stop paying royalties under the ALA for five years, which, by some estimates, could be worth billions of dollars

Which is the next decision for the court. It is a clickbait headline, shame on the author too.

(Reposting this as a top level comment in case the low effort one I reply to gets downvoted)

jubilanti··on Qualcomm Legally Proves Arm Breached Its License, Wins $2
Classic HN low-effort first post that could be written from just the headline.

The real issue is not the damages, but:

> whether Arm's breach lets Qualcomm stop paying royalties under the ALA for five years, which, by some estimates, could be worth billions of dollars

Which is the next decision for the court. It is a clickbait headline, shame on the author too.

jubilanti··on An Apology
You've missed my point entirely by trying to over literally interpret it as a closed form logical definition and proof. Classic HN.

Any sufficiently advanced theft prevention device is indistinguishable from a stalking device.

You're still stalking the movements of the person who stole your bike, until they ditched it. The fact that the device can no longer stalk them if they threw it in a dumpster does not mean you aren't still tracking their movements from where they stole your bike to the dumpster.

In that moment when you see your cut bike locks on the ground where you parked your bike, and you pull out your phone to track it, your first instinct is that someone stole it and you want to follow their movements after they stole it.

jubilanti··on An Apology
Tracking the person who stole your bike IS stalking, just a socially acceptable form. That's the point.
jubilanti··on Ledger confirms spy chip implant behind wallet crypto thefts
It doesn't need to connect to or even turn on the eSIM until you already entered your key and code, by then it is too late. Unlike voice, it just needs a microsecond pulse to send the data. With all the wireless interference, you'd need a controlled setup too.
jubilanti··on Solar panels that plug into your wall
Americans are, for the most part, fucking morons. We invented the infamous warning labels like DO NOT EAT THE TONER CARTRIDGE or DO NOT HOLD THE CHAINSAW BY THE BLADE or REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING STROLLER or PEANUTS: CONTAINS NUTS

We're also very litigious, as it isn't hard to convince a jury to award damages to a fellow moron.

jubilanti··on Character.ai has initiated voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy
Nothing except the $278k average base salary, while living luxuriously at work and probably home too on the startup's expense card, as the $100k door dash bill shows. I bet there were a ton of fancy off sites in Hawaii or wherever.

Meanwhile at $bigco I just got my request to buy a shitty $1k Dell laptop denied because I got one 2 years ago and I have to wait 1 more.

jubilanti··on Show HN: PS2 games statically recompiled to WebAssembly
Yes, I feel for all those gaming studios who are no longer raking in all that sweet, sweet PS2 royalties from new sales.

Thanks Claude.
jubilanti··on Generative AI scandal has come to one of Nikon's competitions
Look, I put tokens through transformers all day long and am amazed at what they can do, probably just like you. But imagine a Tour de France cyclist wins but is found to be using a hidden ebike motor. But they won and fooled everyone! So what?

The winning submission was SCIENTIFIC FRAUD claiming to be from a medical instrument. The competition was not to produce something that was aesthetically pleasing or that would pass as real images recorded from a camera. Just like the point of the Tour de France is not to be the very fastest in any 2 wheeled vehicle.

But you're right, this isn't slop, it's worse. It's an entitlement that comes with the worst parts of tech hype grifter scenes like NFTs and crypto altcoins. If you can get away with lying and cheating, then it is not just morally okay but a moral obligation.

> Is that specific to Linux?

I don't think their point was about knowing the stack, but being able to point a harness at something running on your desktop GUI and say "change this".

Being able to edit and recompile pretty much any part of the OS and userland (often not even needing to reboot!) is not something that can be said about Windows for sure, or even lots of things on Macs too. Or even when the browser is effectively the operating system, the JS/TS others write is also hard to change in your end.
