sejje··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026)
XMEye?

Would be interested in replacing, too.

sejje··on Tesla and SpaceX lose over $420B in combined market cap in the two days
Not sure if this is an indictment of the company, or an endorsement of Musk.

Self-driving cars should be required to be good at driving.

We should set a safety bar, and any method of achieving that bar should be fine. I'm fine with "N miles driven per injury."

It's not stupid if it works.

He's responding to a claim that people "aren’t interested in supporting musk anymore"

Starlink is a Musk product.

There you go, now you understand.

sejje··on AI is dramatically accelerating AI research
Was yours better because it used my phrasing against me?

Anyway, I'm surprised to see it flagged. I think it's the logical conclusion, that if you are having your work accelerated, and you also aren't changing the world any faster, then your work is not focused on changing the world--it needs to be more "important."

If it was world-changing already, then doing more of it would, in fact, accelerate changing the world.

But they're here saying something different, blaming the AI instead of their own focus.

sejje··on Ask HN: AI isn't intelligent :/ what is intelligence?
> did you derive everything you know from first principles or are you just mirroring the cumulative subject matter that you've been taught and read?

Neither. There are other options.

I derived some things I know from first principles, and I sometimes mirror the cumulative subject matter that I've been taught and read.

sejje··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
No there's not.

> Payload capacity.

Fighting against truck size, MPGs

> Towing capacity.

Fighting MPGs, possibly diesel prices

> Towing range.

Only matters on electrics, everyone else goes to the gas station.

> Stopping distance when at GVWR.

I don't max my truck out, and I don't really think others should, either.

Anyway, maybe you can see that objectively, I'd rather have a Nissan Hardbody than whatever Superduty Diesel you have in mind.

Spending is the opposite of hoarding
sejje··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
1990s F150s are selling for much more than their original new price, with low enough miles.

Best selling truck of all time. Not really about rarity.

Seems like your conclusions are wrong

sejje··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
> “is autopilot worth basing your entire car purchase around it?”

Unsupervised FSD is, yes.

> and “will competitors be able to replicate Tesla’s success?”.

I wouldn't bet on a big auto-maker, personally. But maybe they can outsource it. And...well, AI. Things are moving fast. But I think the moat can hold for a while.

Have you heard of starship or the model y?

Those are at Musk's companies already.

What do you think about cybercab & the incoming ability for private owners to participate?
sejje··on So I guess everyone uses LLMs to think now
Peak humans? The best we have to offer?

Or my coworkers?

sejje··on So I guess everyone uses LLMs to think now
Well, it's just a rephrasing of "I don't share this experience at all."

And it's an easy explanation for why one person can be getting "confidently wrong" results still, and another person hasn't experienced it in a long time.

I'm one who hasn't experienced it lately. I haven't even thought about it in quite some time. Maybe a domain thing, maybe I'm not doing fancy enough work, maybe that guy is using some shitty model.

Move somewhere it's not a crime. Bingo bango.
sejje··on HackerTube: YouTube built from videos recommended by HN
Well, some portion of it was just served to you over HTTP.

It's very likely that your agents can just build the rest, if the backend source isn't provided.

> Media, journalism & propaganda

Amen, we should label it correctly more often. Hard to miss it nowadays, I guess.

sejje··on Ex-Meta Researcher Torrented Pirated Books, Deleted It 'Due to Litigation'
> I don't think this a youth thing that "people outgrow",

Totally agree. Also, we're applying western ethics to the third world.

They don't share our values on IP, I assure you.

sejje··on Ex-Meta Researcher Torrented Pirated Books, Deleted It 'Due to Litigation'
Maybe in theory.

In practice, I bet it matters a lot.

sejje··on Read the letter the FBI sent MLK to try to convince him to kill himself (2014)
That's not gonna happen.

If one side shuts the other out of power, that's when we'll finally get the civil war many have been predicting for a long time.

Hopefully the framework to limit power can stay in place, in spite of all the calls to change it, abolish the senate, pack the court, make sure to punish/"hold accountable" red voters, etc.

sejje··on ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)
It's largely self-moderating

> for the first time in 20 years I actually saw someone post cheese pizza

Don't know what this means, gonna keep it that way.

sejje··on ‘You Are Done’: The letter sent to King by the F.B.I (2014)
So last election, Kamala Harris was the platform of abolishing democracy?

Or, alternatively, did we cease to have a democracy?

It's hard to discern detail with your eyes closed.
sejje··on OBS Studio 33
Yes, the guy I responded to is using "intolerance" to describe the users using/wanting rumble.

I responded with heavy sarcasm, because i don't think people who redefine words & describe things in outlandish terms are arguing in good faith, so I prefer to tell them I agree, and restate their outlandish claim.

You're now here to police me based on our other interaction, and your misunderstanding of my positions.

sejje··on OBS Studio 33
yes, using rumble is intolerance
sejje··on Ask HN: If the models are so good, why doesn't OpenAI just start 100 companies?

sejje··on Google illegally cut down 250K trees in Finland for data center
No, that's not what it's opposed to.

There's a vast ocean of middle ground.

sejje··on Is AI just another get rich quick scheme?
Are shovels just another get rich quick scheme? If they were really all that, they wouldn't be selling shovels to the public. They would be forming corporate partnerships, digging dirt and conquering markets--starting with the mining industry.
