spiderfarmer··on Why is every rationalist blog post way too long?
What’s even worse is that the man has a huge following who all think that he isn’t a bullshitter.
spiderfarmer··on Starlink limit hits Ukraine's drones
Maybe for the MAGA crowd. The rest of the world does not believe what they are told to believe. There are millions of documents and dozens of witnesses that could corroborate the videos, if only they were actually be investigated.

It’s so obvious that Putin has something on Trump. It’s either the unsubstantiated pee tape, or they have the video tapes Epstein said he had. And since Musk also (at least) wanted to party on one of the islands wildest nights, there might be even more leverage Putin is using strategically.
spiderfarmer··on Apple HomeView
Even if they succeeded in the sitcom idea, how does that promote their product? It’s easily the worst ad from Apple I have seen in a long time.
spiderfarmer··on Apple HomeView
Well, if their leadership is anything to go by..
spiderfarmer··on I posted to HN, and then my website was flooded with AI bot traffic
Try posting something viral on Mastodon. The logs clearly show that it isn't the most efficient social network.

My problem is mainly with the family dynamic in their 'film'. Nobody in that ad seems happy, they even seem to hate each other. Is this normal enough in the US that people can ignore it and focus on the product?
spiderfarmer··on An hour of audio transcribed in about 13s on MacBook Air
So Marco Arment can sell some more of his Mac Minis.
spiderfarmer··on Threat of AI share crash puts world financial stability at risk, says IMF
> Anthropic supposedly has a good margin on each token

Genuine question: why are people still saying the plans are heavily subsidised?

spiderfarmer··on Ask HN: Do you want a router that has DD-WRT pre-installed?
My fiber ISP has full instructions for using your own router. They mention that they won't be able to offer remote support and that if you want to use your own router, you're probably okay with that.
spiderfarmer··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
Yeah, but which attackers do we have to worry about nowadays?

It's like the Hyperloop all over again.

Musk comes up with a crazy idea.

Investors, "analysts" and sycophants go to great lengths to defend it.

Rational people wonder if everyone is losing their mind.

Musk profits.

spiderfarmer··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
Everything is possible. Doesn't mean you should do it. You can also put datacenters on the sea floor in a nuclear submarine. That might be even easier.

But does it make sense to do it?

No.

spiderfarmer··on 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit
A single EMP would be enough without causing excessive space debris. It's not like someone will simply fly in and swap some hardware.

"Stop resisting" "Look what you made me do" "Dragging this out makes atrocious behaviour inevitable"

Ever heard of Game Theory?

Trump sucks at it. And by the looks of it, you're not very good either.

spiderfarmer··on Using AI for just 10 minutes erodes your ability to persist at hard things
Hunger also reduces my ability to do hard things. But like most things in life, it’s not permanent.

> As if European companies are any better.

My Hetzner customer experience is 10x better than AWS.

> Have you tried getting customer service from any European ISP for example

Yes and they're awesome. The even helped me get my non-supported Ubiquiti router on their WAN.

spiderfarmer··on Beauty in DVD Menus
I never quite understood who made those menus. I think 95% of them were absolutely hideous, just like early webdesign.

Ah, national security. The end-all argument all Americans fall for.

How did Claude and OpenAI make the USA safer?

spiderfarmer··on Mistral Large 4
Like Sam Altman, you seem convinced AI is a winner takes all kind off technology. Can you explain why?
spiderfarmer··on Mistral Large 4
> Europe needs a lot of these.

Europe needs profitable AI companies, not money pits.

Less and less work requires a frontier model though.
spiderfarmer··on Germany’s RobCo hits $1B valuation
Now do per working hour, including benefits.
spiderfarmer··on Europe's new robotics unicorn: Germany's RobCo hits $1B valuation
Invest in proper education first. The USA has been dropping the ball consistently over the last decades.
spiderfarmer··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
Yet how often is the efficiency of Javascript a talking point in main stream media? Or the quality of the ceiling fans on Amazon?
spiderfarmer··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
It's always strange to me how many people have an opinion on the produce of farmers. If other products were looked a through the same lens, 90% of all products on Amazon should be removed, Social Media shouldn't exist and Javascript was never used for development.
spiderfarmer··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
> without being used.

If it cools the plants and the ground through evaporation, it's used as effectively as a datacenter.

spiderfarmer··on Show HN: AI search for every photo and every frame of video on macOS
On the flipside, it also leads to better software.
spiderfarmer··on Show HN: AI search for every photo and every frame of video on macOS
So the prompt was probably something like: build me x using Tesseract.
spiderfarmer··on So you think you could be an electrician?
That doesn’t say anything about taking care of your body though. A better part of my family works construction and it’s only the uncle that smokes, thinks proper posture is for wimps and lives off microwave pizza that constantly complains about his joints.
