rolymath··on SQLite Critical CVEs or LLM Slop?
Devs like to pretend they know everything about everything.

Start a discussion about any topic, look at how many nerds will tell you that you are wrong.

He doesn't want your trust, he wants you to use it.

You're saying we need magic for different js frameworks to have different performance profiles?
rolymath··on Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta warn against overregulating open-weight models
> that day is over.

I see zero indications of this. As a matter of fact, I see evidence of the opposite, the Chinese government has just come out in support of open weight AI last week.

rolymath··on Open-weight AI is having its Kubernetes moment
Not sure they're just recouping costs and not lining their execs pockets.
rolymath··on Show HN: Ekko – post-quantum E2EE layer for Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram Web
To be honest, I don't get how I would use it. I understand the text I send will be encrypted, but what does using it actually look like.
rolymath··on You only need the frontier model for one single edit
Wow. Someone using Crush in the wild. What do you think of it? I'm having trouble switching to it because the rest work fine, but would love to actually adopt it.

rolymath··on Alibaba to ban Claude Code in workplace over alleged backdoor risks, source says
Because Chinese model providers are open source. You can host them yourself.

Can you name one open source US model that came out in the last year?

rolymath··on Microsoft Needs Windows Lite
> This article feels like ignorance.

Wow. Let's see what an informed opinion looks like.

> The best "Windows Lite" is a Linux distro with VSCode, .NET, PowerShell, etc.

Oh.... ok then.

"Plasticky crap" like the x1 carbon? I daily drive a mac, but I would drop it in an instant once I can get linux on arm on thinkpad.
rolymath··on Show HN: Pagecast – Publish Markdown/HTML Reports to Cloudflare Pages
Maybe tell your agent that your readme doesn't need to be that long so humans can read it and understand it. The Github readme is ludicrously long winded.

What's the point of this vs telling the agent to just use the cloudflare CLI?

"Local tool for publishing agent reports and small static sites" - Aren't agent reports small static sites? Why do you need to mention both?

Your Good Fits vs Bad Fits section is just a good fits vs bad fits for cloudflare pages, not your specific application.

Creating a chrome extension to add the publish button on the page is quite possibly the single biggest piece of evidence I've ever seen that code is now cheap.

Readme needs screenshots.

Edit: I've been emotionally triggered by this project because the overall feel of it reminds me of all the junior developers at work who've started vibe coding everything and presenting it with confidence that even the most senior developers lack.

rolymath··on The UK's new under-16 social media ban will cause more harm than it prevents
The world was fine before youtube, it's not the end of the world. It's full of fake education who won't take responsibility by claiming they're "just entertainment".

Realistically, the kids will find their way around the ban.

rolymath··on Komai: a fine Matrix chat app you can get to love
This applies to all software. You didn't make the monitor your app is being displayed on. Stop taking credit for the compiler that made your code runnable, etc.
