paaloeye··on Cuban: Facebook knowingly runs AI deepfake scam ads; docs say $16B fraud revenue
How bad do you have to be so even Cuban says it's shit?

Mounties are on the way to your abode to teach you some manners.
paaloeye··on Awesome repositories are no longer awesome
Were they ever awesome? By design, they attract projects looking for visibility etc.

Most of those so-called awesome lists have zero to very little no human judgement when new projects are included. One example I found in the wild is [0], which has ca. 50 awesome projects already while libghostty isn't even stable. I doubt that even 10% of those projects are anywhere good, let alone _awesome_.

I, for one, would like to have an opposite — awful-<something>. Just so we know which things we should avoid. With AI, it's getting even more important to know what to use.

Not the worst site, but it's clearly a publicity machine from wakefield.co, whom I haven't heard of. Also, exploitation conditions are super narrow, albeit, any password is wild.

I'm not sure if it's fair to compare GH's uptime vs a barely known "Pierre Computer".

With labs spending their fundings left and right and vibe-coding, it's absolutely irresponsible to adopt anything less than 18 months old.

Because nobody is using them... My service has 99.99999 uptime btw...and zero users.

I'm so glad I haven't even heard of them

AI bros buying AI bros. All those companies in the list have ca. 10x inflated valuation.

I bet in 5 years nobody will remember 95% of them.

How do you run Docker containers inside your K8S? Let’s say you need a test database or test ClickHouse???
paaloeye··on The lost malloc()
No, look at the "raw" rank. It's the one without HN/manual intervention.

It was catapulted to 8th rank while its "raw" was around 50th give or take.

Not really, it was "sponsored" by HN very early.

Honestly, as fun as it is using KGP, I don't consider it critical for any real use cases.

If you need a GUI, just use a GUI.

I thought it was a mid-term election mystery

Proper Windows support is not easy to archive. Plus with Windows Terminal being good enough and open-source, there isn't much incentive to support it.

AFAIK, Ghostty is as performant. At least, on macOS. I used both and didn't see much difference. Decided to go with Ghostty as it feels more native than Kitty.

Never seen a 4 points story on the front page.
paaloeye··on AI delivers 'zero financial payoff' to most companies, Apollo economist says
> world’s most important products

Really? If we delete CC today, will humanity stop functioning? Nope. It's so far from one of the world's most important products.

About 5 9s, reliability is just one of the axes which suffers from fast generation.

There are a lot more: architecture, accuracy, etc...

> I have a feeling it’s possible to ship fast without drastic quality drops

at what scale and for how long?

paaloeye··on AI delivers 'zero financial payoff' to most companies, Apollo economist says
btw, shipping more code isn't necessary a good thing. If quality isn't controlled properly, it eventually shows up as negative in the top line.

With AI, keeping good quality gets even harder because it normally only produces tricky defects.

Here goes ANT's IPO. If it's only AI agents which deliver value, I don't see how they can justify their proposed market cap.
