myaccountonhn··on Anthropic upgrades Claude Code Projects to run parallel AI workers
It seems pretty easy to just set something like this yourself.

Personally, I just use Caldav and XMPP. Todos added to caldav get prioritized and picked up by an LLM and then worked on. The work is then evaluated in a simulator, screenshots/videos are sent from the LLM to confirm that the design is correct, or to ask follow up questions. From my phone I can screenshot my project and then add it to the todo list and queue it easily, and it will just get picked up and worked on.

Maybe I'm reinventing the wheel or sound like the anti-Dropbox guy, but I like that whatever feature I want or need in my workflow I just ask the LLM to add that. Makes it so that I can strip away a lot of complexity.

myaccountonhn··on Fossil CO2 emissions decrease in 2026
If it is territorial emissions, couldn't it also be that EU and US consume more products made and exported from China?
myaccountonhn··on Mathematics has changed. Let's act like it
I don't quite understand what that has got to do with it. You don't have to be the top of the field to work with math, but it seems as though that is where we're heading.
myaccountonhn··on Outlook.com is rejecting email from domains without DMARC
I don't think anyone believes it will "singlehandedly free us from tyranny", it's one component for a healthy ecosystem.

Post receive hook on a bare git repo with gitolite for access control.

> Rawls had a concept of the "veil of ignorance" which is probably better for thinking about fairness rather than "meritocracy". No one should lose sleep over the fact that the tiny number of corporates with enough capital can now beat out the tiny number of 180 iqs at a task (mostly generating proofs) that is not really valuable.

This is a weird framing. To begin with you didn't need a 180iq to work with math. What AI is doing though is making it so that an even smaller part of the population can work with intellectual, fun jobs and even more wealth gets concentrated to a small elite. That is absolutely something we should lose sleep over.

I suspect the reasoning is very similar to why Sourcehut recently did a ToS change prohibiting AI

They don't do it for productivity. There's a summary of anti-llm motivations in the ToS change announcement for Sourcehut: https://sourcehut.org/blog/2026-08-27-tos-changes-and-llms/
myaccountonhn··on AI is ruining haunted houses
I do both. It is just that quality is getting more expensive and harder to find.
myaccountonhn··on AI is ruining haunted houses
I'd love a world where people have choice. Instead we're left with all the shit the general population deems sufficient, and everything just gets worse and worse.
myaccountonhn··on Physicists trap a single antimatter particle for a month
It doesn't matter if it's antimatter.
myaccountonhn··on Run full iOS 16.5 firmware on Android Devices
As a user too, android works far better for me and I was an Apple user for a few years.

Not having the ugly frosted glass thing is a very big plus.

myaccountonhn··on Epic Games Inc v Apple Inc
Or you're in a different country from me.
myaccountonhn··on Epic Games Inc v Apple Inc
Literally can't do banking without them. Nor park my car. Nor interact with 99% of all businesses here.
myaccountonhn··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
I know, I have them in my country too. But sometimes this reality fades in the background and every now pops up again and hits you hard.
myaccountonhn··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Uh, I have a few immigrant friends in Germany. This is really uncomfortable.
myaccountonhn··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
In the past I've been partial to a society based around self-actualization, like a liberal capitalistic society. However, with the way LLMs are progressing then I think society will turn increasingly technocratic and feudal, with no opportunities for social mobility. I don't really believe that LLMs will create new jobs or opportunities in the long run.

Historically socialism and central planning have been inefficient. With recent technological advancements it may be that the purported inefficiencies are no longer there, and I think a democratic, socialist government will be better at having the interest of the people than private for-profit monopolies. A society where everything is automated and you don't have to work could be pretty nice to live in.

myaccountonhn··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
> And the micromanaging from a distance produces catastrophic results.

I think this has historically been true, but it is worth revisiting now with AI and general tech advancement. Might be more feasible now.

> Socialism CAN not work due to human nature. The sociopaths hijack the centralized assets while exterminating via reallocation all opposition.

You could also argue that capitalism CAN not work due to human nature. Just look at the state of climate change.

myaccountonhn··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
There will always be challenges, as is the case with any system. But I guess I don't really think LLMs will create a bunch of new jobs, so either we look into the future with gloom and doom as we who don't have wealth become part of a permanent underclass as opportunities continue to disappear, or we envision a utopia and work to realize it.
myaccountonhn··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
Nah not with Trump and Musk. It would have to be presented by a leftist, and maybe in a country outside the US.
myaccountonhn··on "I'm on a war footing": Terry Tao and the crisis in math
I think there should be a political movement that retries socialism with AI. Basically nationalize everything and then automate everything. I think people could get behind that. Basically fully automated luxury communism.
myaccountonhn··on Americans' social activity has steeply declined in the past 30 years
Ordinary people can be interesting though.

If you meet someone who is completely and utterly uninteresting, that in itself is interesting.

myaccountonhn··on The United Kingdom generates less electricity per person than in the 1970s
Biggest "Couldn't we just" I've seen. Why not terraform the sun while we're at it?
myaccountonhn··on Living off-grid: Hundred Rabbits
One can argue that they do give back to society by sharing their research, tools, games and findings, and I think it's really valuable. They do claim to be a research collective.
myaccountonhn··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
If the mathematician doesn't understand anything, are they even a mathematician?
myaccountonhn··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
Interesting take on the politics, I just don't agree. I think AI will just embed all sorts of biases and people will rely on them as an oracle. IQ and test scores are just dropping worldwide with the introduction of technology.

And don't get me started on climate change, which so far AI is only making worse.

myaccountonhn··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
That doesn't sound nearly as fun.
myaccountonhn··on Sharing AI progress in mathematics
AI only makes the problem worse, but the message that will be pushed is that it will solve climate change.
myaccountonhn··on Penguin Mail – open-source Rust email client for Linux with AI
mu4e, mail.app, thunderbird. All pretty good IME.
myaccountonhn··on Denmark data breach exposes 8.8M people's personal data
No. It's in part because surveillance enabled the nazis to easily find and deport jews. Especially the population registries in the Netherlands made it particularly easy to track them down. Along with that personal data was used to strip rights of people.
