peder··on eMudhra to exit global SSL/TLS certificate business
People think “brutal” needs to be like a YouTube clickbait video
peder··on WorldTUI: I trained a 360M model to pretend to be a terminal
It’s still rendering frames constantly, no? So it just figures the next X frames are all doing nothing?
peder··on eMudhra intermediate CA compromise
I think we have to assume it was known for some time by at least some actors
peder··on The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
Maybe beside the point, but um, yeah, nobody's going to sign up for a global ban on meat. It would cause civil wars.
peder··on Deepfake of Washington County, Oregon, Candidate Goes Viral Nationwide
Are you going to update your comment now that a retraction was issued? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50173029

You don't understand: https://x.com/alx/status/2112585386929397799

But also just look at the bottom-left of the image as is mentioned elsewhere in this comment thread: they didn't even bother to photoshop the entire image in their "debunk".

peder··on Deepfake of Washington County, Oregon, Candidate Goes Viral Nationwide
lol I didn't see that at all, wow they soooo poorly photoshopped this and then had their all friends in the media like Axios push their lies
peder··on Deepfake of Washington County, Oregon, Candidate Goes Viral Nationwide
And why wouldn't you question why they deleted the original lol

Nonsense, the google image search result clearly still has the linkage established. There's nothing fake about it.
peder··on Deepfake of Washington County, Oregon, Candidate Goes Viral Nationwide
It's from their own Facebook page, it's the Google Image Search results from their own page.

This story is fake; the flag was in fact upside down: https://x.com/alx/status/2112383598934573506

peder··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
They’ll have potential to spread like prion disease
peder··on New 'Super Ice' 10 Times Stronger, Bringing It Close to the Strength of Concrete
Or maybe Mars?
peder··on Mistral Large 4
Because it's a terrible benchmark
peder··on Make Tmux the OS
No, that was just Apple and others realizing that (1) the file system needed some type of wrapper for security purposes, and (2) the move to the cloud didn't work very well with local file systems (they still don't... most of my data in the cloud isn't a "file").
peder··on America.gov
There are some first-mover advantages when your country creates the system
peder··on Grok 4.7
How's any project you've ever done?
peder··on Grok 4.7
exactly, the benchmark just needs to be downvoted into oblivion each times it's posted. The outcome is not deterministic and the model needs to determine what level of detail is appropriate for an svg. There is no wrong answer to this unless it's obviously un-Pelican-like.
peder··on Grok 4.7
I think you're seeing a big shift around it.... since it's been markedly cheaper and also still easily available from OpenCode, it's getting large enterprise traction.
peder··on Amiga Unix, Again
Hacker News is so annoying about this. It really feels like sour grapes that people are shipping cool projects without one of the Y Combinator-type software engineers blessing the project with their handwritten code.
peder··on How Much Has Trump Made from Crypto? ($1.4B from 2025 Federal Disclosure)
Why are you assuming this is corruption?
peder··on Measuring the sloppiness of code
Sooooo much of what is considered "code quality" today is irrelevant when robots are writing the code. We've been largely optimizing for things like composability/unit testability in the past 15 or so years, and that's primarily a human concern that's unrelated to the final output.

Totally agreed that we're not looking at the correct metric right now. Increasingly, code quality will be determined by outcomes.

peder··on I'm becoming AI-blind
I'm not saying digest it, I'm saying be able to scan it/skim it/move on, but ignoring it won't help.
peder··on I'm becoming AI-blind
> There's some psychological mechanism by which my brain immediately recognizes AI generated text and just short-circuits to "there is no information here".

I think you need to self-correct here, because otherwise you'll be ineffective in an information setting, where I expect AI-generated resources will not only be the norm, they will absolutely swamp the environment.

peder··on Working with AI feels more like leadership than coding
Delegation can still mean deep technical connection to the code, just without needing to write the code itself.
peder··on Grok 4.6 scores 61 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index
Does it matter? Why turn it into a popularity contest?
peder··on Why do we assume everyone should be working?
That’s not a right-wing thought BTW. Publoc schools in Germany for instance are highly exclusionary.
peder··on What's the largest software project AI can complete on its own?
That doesn't happen with a proper test suite. Give guardrails and it's not an issue.
peder··on What's the largest software project AI can complete on its own?
> tons of duplication that lead to whack-a-mole

The future is duplication. Code is no longer meant to be read by humans but by machines.

peder··on Taylor Farms has rewritten its cyclospora statement four times in sixteen days
This is an obvious next step tho? When I want news, I'll just ask Claude. Everything funnels to these providers?
