selfhoster11··on ChatGPT Pro 500
GLM-5.3, Kimi K3. OpenRouter is good for figuring out which provider you want with the serving precision that you need.
selfhoster11··on Raspberry Pi blocks changing RAM chips
I have at one point faced the “should I buy x86 instead”, and decided low-power Intel CPUs make it viable. Guess I’m gonna pick the x86.
selfhoster11··on 120 days until Google restricts side-loading, declaring war on Android freedom
Lol, no.
selfhoster11··on Ask HN: Would you pay for an AI API that guarantees zero prompt retention?
Tinfoil etc offer TEE inference that works well, directly or via API routers.
selfhoster11··on Ask HN: How do you protect self-hosted websites from LLM scrapers?
Why would you not put a CDN in front? I’d rather do that than CAPTCHA.
selfhoster11··on Free way to get your data out of ChatGPT Business accounts
Would you mind opening it to the public? We’d be okay making modifications for our use cases, so dumping the code would be fine.
selfhoster11··on The arguments against open source AI are bad
Interoperability clause in the EU might make it legal? Not sure.
selfhoster11··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
Check out this’s recent HN submission: https://gist.github.com/Hellisotherpeople/71ba712f9f899adcb0...
selfhoster11··on Show HN: FableCut – A browser video editor AI agents can drive (zero deps)
That’s just how some humans write. These words didn’t come from an LLM vacuum.
selfhoster11··on Guns Don't Kill People: on co-authoring an essay with LLMs
Difficult texture, but I appreciate the disclosure of AI use and found some of the points interesting enough to write my own essays on.
selfhoster11··on Claude Code is steganographically marking requests
Moonshot.
selfhoster11··on GLM-5.2 – How to Run Locally
Under Linux it is allegedly 110GB, but I’m not sure.
selfhoster11··on Identity verification on Claude
Executive dysfunction mitigation. Voice based interfaces. Heavyweight personal file classification with a few hours of prompt building vs labelling a bespoke classifier’s data set and training a more “lightweight” option in weeks or days. Language translation that isn’t DeepL or Google Translate for random websites. They are not deterministic, but the error rate is a lot better on these tasks vs classical approaches.
selfhoster11··on RFK Jr. plans to curb antidepressants, which he falsely compares to heroin
That's like saying we shouldn't be letting people access glasses or wheelchairs because we need a way to fix the issue at the root. Nope.
selfhoster11··on Show HN: Winpodx – run Windows apps on Linux as native windows
I use both of these and I don't think I've once had an LLM rewrite my comment before posting it on HN.
selfhoster11··on Claude Opus 4.7
They are trained on natural language. Not anthropomorphizing them is the worse end of the spectrum.
selfhoster11··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
LLMs are indeed displacing labour. Junior IT roles are drying up in places. Translation and art are also becoming harder to earn from.
selfhoster11··on Sam Altman's response to Molotov cocktail incident
They always have a choice, it just doesn't make them as much.
selfhoster11··on ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100/month
There was Lavabit, though that's an example of just one such event.

Edit: and to some extent Apple, at least in the past.

selfhoster11··on ChatGPT Pro now starts at $100/month
I am on this very forum as an explicit effort to counterbalance that very view. You have my strong agreement.
selfhoster11··on The AI Great Leap Forward
I didn't even realize that this is (allegedly) written with AI. If it's AI, then it's the kind of AI writing that's closer to the real deal and that I want to see more widely applied if AI is to be used.
selfhoster11··on The soul might just be a check engine light that got too good at its job
AI slop
selfhoster11··on German implementation of eIDAS will require an Apple/Google account to function
No. I reject this framing. It is none of anybody's business how "secure" my device ever is. A smartphone is a piece of electronics, and not a tamper evident identity device.
selfhoster11··on Molly guard in reverse
Which is why that's not what it does. It asks you to input the hostname instead, just like deleting a repo in Github does.
selfhoster11··on Show HN: Hacker News archive (47M+ items, 11.6GB) as Parquet, updated every 5m
The good rephrasing will not include that voice.
selfhoster11··on An x86-64 back end for raven-uxn
I refuse to engage in "LLMs are evil, period" views. That's like walking out into a battlefield with a samurai sword, while your enemy has Gatling guns. You'll be shredded. The pressure to survive means new tools have to be examined and incorporated as and when needed. The resources needed to run a 24B LLM on a gaming GPU are not costing the earth.
selfhoster11··on GPT‑5.4 Mini and Nano
K2.5 and GLM-4.7/-5 were good in my experience, another vote for those.
selfhoster11··on Forcing Flash Attention onto a TPU and Learning the Hard Way
I could spend 100% doing the work with my own Claude, and 0% reading yours. That's a negative-sum outcome. I do think that the 80%/20% split is better (though anything that is mostly human voice is fine for me).
selfhoster11··on Many US states planning or have operating system age verification laws
Red Star OS.
selfhoster11··on Claude struggles to cope with ChatGPT exodus
Please add Internet Archive's bot to your auto-allows, at least. Their bot is presumably well behaved, and for public benefit.
