sethops1··on Four Months of Zig
It sounds like you're reinventing destructors with extra steps.
sethops1··on US inequality is getting worse in ways you might not expect
The median net worth of an American adult is about $200,000, The net worth of Elon is roughly ~1 trillion. That's a factor of 5,000,000x. A wealth inequality gap of 10,000x would be a great place to be compared to where the US is now.
sethops1··on How Amazon pushes up prices all across the Internet
For me it was a Noctua fan that had a thick layer of dust built up. Who the fuck returns a $20 fan with thousands of hours of use? And why did Amazon think it was appropriate to send that trash to me when I paid for new??
sethops1··on Banks are now trying to offload the AI data center debt they just underwrote
People stopped believing because people stopped paying their mortgages.

tbf he only needs to be right once, and at the moment the question of profitability of these frontier companies is still open
sethops1··on 10-year Treasury yield climbs above 5.3% to a level not seen in 24 years
Taxing the rich would easily be enough to plug the hole, and it wouldn't even affect them in a meaningful way.

sethops1··on When did Google get so weird?
Click on AI Settings in the bottom right and turn off AI completely.
sethops1··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
Bitcoin is still useless as a currency, so I'm not sure that using it to buy some pizzas 20 years ago changed anything.
sethops1··on 16GB iPod Nano 3G Upgrade
Lenovo did a 25th anniversary edition just because.

sethops1··on Microsoft exec called AI scraping 'the largest theft of labor in human history'
Bing sent traffic to the original source. AI answers don't. That's the line. It's not complicated.
sethops1··on Homebrew 7.0.0
Apple was selling Intel Mac Pros in 2023, it's absurd these things are coming up on EOL already.
sethops1··on LG says we're fake news [video]
What do you get from upgrading the firmware? I have a 10 yo smart tv that I simply treated as a dumb tv. Works fine.
sethops1··on I spent $220 on Google app ads and 60% of the installs were robots
These bug me so much. Those 20+ minute ads do nothing but piss me off. I have to grab the remote or switch tabs or whatever to get past them. To the point where I'm on the verge of adding YT to the permanent block list along with Facebook, Instagram, X, etc.
sethops1··on Ask HN: Would you support an anti-AI organization financially?
To do what?
sethops1··on Trey Parker and Matt Stone Are Changing the Name of South Park to South America
They're both billionaires. That's enough to swing a few elections and not even notice.
sethops1··on StackOverflow Is Temporarily Unavailable
Getting nothing but 503 nginx landing page.
sethops1··on Creepy Crawlies
In a few years the VC money will dry up and this gross overspend on slurping data will end.
sethops1··on Go 1.27
Ah my bad gopls is fine; I forgot to run

    go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
after upgrading Go itself.
sethops1··on Go 1.27
FYI golangci-lint and gopls are both broken if you try using generic methods.
sethops1··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
Annualized. Which is another word for made-up.
sethops1··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
Google Gemini is experiencing high load at the moment.
sethops1··on Ask HN: New Reddit also requiring login?
I've been working on https://treehouse.net to hopefully grow into a reddit alternative, starting small with a select set of topics. Bootstrapping a social network is an uphill battle to be sure. But I want treehouse to be the ad-free, bot-free experience original reddit once was.
sethops1··on Someone is running mass vulnerability scans, spoofing AI bots like ClaudeBot
Using a normal page per blog entry would go a long way to making your site more indexable, readable, shareable and seo-able. (Good article btw).

Unauthorized access is not legal, it's just not enforced in the slightest.
sethops1··on Tailscale Traces Database Corruption to 16y/o SQLite WAL-Reset Bug
https://github.com/tailscale/sqlite
sethops1··on 70% of AI revenue comes from OpenAI and Anthropic [video]
There is no "all", that's the point. There is no pot of gold at the end of the AI rainbow.
sethops1··on LinkedIn Feed Blocker
To solve the network effect you need something 10x better than what people are jumping ship from. Even if you had a cleaned up version of LinkedIn, it wouldn't be so dramatically better that enough people migrate to reach critical mass.
sethops1··on AI Video Taking over YouTube
The video is literally marked with "Made with AI" per YouTube's policy.

I hate that this kind of content is so successful, and I think YT could do a lot to lower the algorithmic priority of AI content, but at the end of the day engagement is engagement, and those videos are hugely successful.

People love slop.

sethops1··on LinkedIn Feed Blocker
My version of a feed blocker was to delete my account. Realized i was getting no value by being there, finally just let it go.
sethops1··on Gentoo bugzilla closed due AI bot scraper overload
Are you volunteering to setup and host that extra complexity for the Gentoo project?
