rising-sky··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
Haha, indeed. Although, who knows if folklore is just survivorship bias. If the villain succeeds then the story is not as interesting right?
rising-sky··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
"Necessity is the mother of invention".

If someone is capable of doing something, and your goal is to prevent them from doing it, the worst thing you can do is to make it necessary for them to do it.

rising-sky··on Apple sues OpenAI, accuses ex-employees of stealing trade secrets
Yes, exactly. Probably a settlement similar in spirit to Google v Uber RE: Anthony Levandowski stealing self driving IP
rising-sky··on Germany Overtakes US in Ammunition Production Capacity
Doesn't it require some form of educated electorate to sustain a functioning democracy? Otherwise it is really "by the people" if they are merely avatars?
rising-sky··on Banned in California
Probably helpful to add why, otherwise this is just seems intended to trigger biases
rising-sky··on AI Added 'Basically Zero' to US Economic Growth Last Year, Goldman Sachs Says
I guess this is trend now because it's a contrarian / attention grabbing headline. See:

- "Thousands of CEOs just admitted AI had no impact on employment or productivity..." https://fortune.com/2026/02/17/ai-productivity-paradox-ceo-s...

- “Over 80% of companies report no productivity gains from AI…” https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intell...

But fundamentally, large shifts like this are like steering a super tanker, the effects take time to percolate through economies as large and diversified as the US. This is the Solow paradox / productivity paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Productivity_paradox

  > The term can refer to the more general disconnect between powerful computer technologies and weak productivity growth
rising-sky··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
I think the point bcherny is making in the last few threads is that, the new verbose mode _default_ is not as verbose as it used to be and so it is not "too verbose to handle that". If you want "too verbose", that is still available behind a toggle
rising-sky··on I miss thinking hard
I think the more apt analog isn't a faster car, a la Ferrari, it's more akin to someone who likes to drive and now has to sit and monitor the self-driving car steer and navigate. Comparing to the Ferrari is incorrect since it still takes a similar level of agency from the driver versus a <insert slower vehicle>
rising-sky··on There were BGP anomalies during the Venezuela blackout
Terrible take in the 2nd premise of your argument. Is Venezuela a sovereign nation or a colony? Can similar logic be applied against Russia or even the US?

rising-sky··on JSON River – Parse JSON incrementally as it streams in
Actually, not quite how this works. You always get valid JSON, as in this sequence from the readme:

```json {"name": "Al"} {"name": "Ale"} ```

So the braces are always closed

rising-sky··on iPhone Air
Yes, but it is not MTE, they are technically different. That's what I was attempting to point out but thought it may have been a typo

rising-sky··on Closer to the Metal: Leaving Playwright for CDP
In my experience Playwright provided a much more stable or reliable experience with multiple browser support and asynchronous operations (which is the entire point) over Puppeteer. ymmv
rising-sky··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
I think that's the point, the author isn't trying to get into the weeds of the debate itself, just the way the debates are usually framed and how most people might not realize it. It is a "meta" article in that sense and yes you're right, you can apply it in many other contexts where novel and advanced technology is being debated
rising-sky··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
I tend to agree with this. I just the "pretty negative" adjective jarring in this case and wanted to get a sense of what some in the community here think. Seems mostly in line with your sentiment
rising-sky··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
What I found insightful about this article was the framing of another article cited.

> " This pretty negative post topping Hacker News last month sparked these questions, and I decided to find some answers, of course, using AI"

The pretty negative post cited is https://tomrenner.com/posts/llm-inevitabilism/. I went ahead to read it, and found it, imo, fair. It's not making any direct pretty negative claims about AI, although it's clear the author has concerns. But the thrust is inviting the reader to not fall into the trap of the current framing by proponents of AI, rather questioning first if the future being peddled is actually what we want. Seems a fair question to ask if you're unsure?

I got concerned that this is framed as "pretty negative post", and it impacted my read of the rest of this author's article

rising-sky··on Blip: Peer-to-peer massive file sharing
infamous*

but yes, sure sounds like it!

rising-sky··on Tesla shows no sign of improvement in May sales data
> really sad that people are giving up high quality reasonably priced electric vehicles over politics

> obviously to me that sending money to shady petro states all over the world is just a bad idea

Do you not see the contradiction, in the same sentence?

rising-sky··on Qantas South Africa flights delayed by falling debris from SpaceX rockets
The FAA confirmed that debris fell outside designated areas, temporarily disrupting air traffic and causing several aircraft to divert or delay flights.

rising-sky··on Qantas South Africa flights delayed by falling debris from SpaceX rockets
Oh common?! Do you own the travel path when driving down the highway? No you don't but there are agreed upon and codified rules on right of way that protect your right to safe passage or navigation. Similar convention applies to air space and air travel, look up Annex 2: Rules of the Air by ICAO which outlines right of way principles for air travel

rising-sky··on Qantas South Africa flights delayed by falling debris from SpaceX rockets
Looks like it worked? Smart strategy
rising-sky··on Qantas South Africa flights delayed by falling debris from SpaceX rockets
You're kidding right? This is space debris. If a Qantas flight crashed into your neighborhood, you know who's responsible right?
rising-sky··on California Bans Sell-By Dates
I don't think this law forbids producers from adding supplemental dates? So a coffee container could conceivably have both dates
rising-sky··on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT

Take a look at cursor.com

You realize this is a prototype and not available for sale to the general public... right?

rising-sky··on Engineering over AI
At the bottom of the page, in the footer, there's this text:

> Half-baked ideas for a better future.

Maybe the article is intentionally supposed to read like that?
