spiderice··on I put my whole life into a single database
Thank God I'm a single human and don't have nearly that much influence over the Earth.
spiderice··on RISC-V Is Sloooow
Then how do you justify the title?
spiderice··on I put my whole life into a single database
I don't give a crap, in the most boastful way possible. Sorry if my zealotry isn't your zealotry.
spiderice··on I put my whole life into a single database
I would totally do this without any shame if I had the need/desire. CO2 isn't going to be solved by well intentioned individuals making absolutely no impact. It will be a generic solution that solves it for everyone, or it won't be solved at all.

I'm also not going to take shorter showers when people are farming in a desert and shipping the crops to China.

You might think this makes me a terrible person. That's probably good. Because it will help people understand what we're up against and what needs to happen to actually solve the problem.

"Take less flights" isn't the solution.

spiderice··on No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user
Claude Code Max obviously doesn't cost 10x more than Kimi. The article even confirms that you can get $5k worth of computer for $200 with Claude Code Max.

So no, Claude would not be getting NEARLY as much usage as it's currently getting if it weren't for the $100/$200 monthly subscription. You're comparing Kimi to the price that most people aren't paying.

spiderice··on War prediction markets are a national-security threat
The existence of banks gives a huge financial incentive to rob them. That doesn't mean we should get rid of banks. It means we should create a huge disincentive to rob them (which we do). Same thing needs to happen to people using national intelligence secrets in prediction markets.

> We have to assume that he made the choice to be a martyr

I don't think we have to assume that. He could have thought the military build up was a bluff. He could have trusted in Iran's defenses to allow him time to find safety. He could have thought his assassination attempt on Trump would pan out. There are a million other could-have's that we could invent, and I don't think "him choosing to be a martyr" is any more (or less) valid than the rest of them.

spiderice··on We do not think Anthropic should be designated as a supply chain risk
No. Sam Altman should have no say in what the government can or can't do for national security. Sorry.
spiderice··on GPT‑5.3 Instant
No. Didn't cross my mind at all. Now that you point it out, I still don't care.
spiderice··on GPT‑5.3 Instant
Or, now hear me out, we don't be racist. Have you considered that?
spiderice··on MacBook Pro with M5 Pro and M5 Max
Comparing the touchbar to a touch screen is silly
spiderice··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
The Procreate UI literally tells us otherwise. When you create a new image, it tells you exactly how many layers it will allow you to have based on the dimensions you set. This number is smaller for older iPads.

Here is the original X link to the Xcancel link you posted. I'm morally against Xcancel

spiderice··on We do not think Anthropic should be designated as a supply chain risk
That seems exactly what it should be. The United States military should be able to do what the law allows. If we don't think they should be allowed to do something, we should pass laws. Not rely on the goodness of Sam Altman.
spiderice··on OpenAI reaches deal to deploy AI models on U.S. DoW classified network
Well thank fuck you're not in charge. A lot of terrorist groups and foreign governments don't want us to have a department of war either.
spiderice··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
I think it says more about people's ability to ignore the truth if it doesn't support their world view. Oh you don't want Grok to be SOTA? Then it isn't! Problem solved
spiderice··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
What part of the constitution is being violated here? Genuine question.
spiderice··on NPMX – a fast, modern browser for the NPM registry
Aaaand, it's down. Is it's inability to handle light load what makes it modern?
spiderice··on The time I didn't meet Jeffrey Epstein
It's really easy to give away money you didn't earn lol
spiderice··on The time I didn't meet Jeffrey Epstein
These are anecdotes. Proving that Bill Gates is an asshole doesn't automatically mean every rich person is an asshole.
spiderice··on The time I didn't meet Jeffrey Epstein
Is your stance that a shitty person can donate a tiny percent of their fortune to a good cause and it makes them a good person?

Follow up question: do you buy indulgences?

spiderice··on xAI joins SpaceX
Oh man, I sure hope he disclosed that
spiderice··on The Codex App
For starters, money. There is no better value out there that I'm aware of than Claude Code Max. Claude Code also just works way better than Opencode, in my experience. Though I know there are those that have experienced the exact opposite.
spiderice··on Show HN: NanoClaw – “Clawdbot” in 500 lines of TS with Apple container isolation
> what if the current prices really are unsustainable and the thing goes 10x?

Where does this idea come from? We know how much it costs to run LLMs. It's not like we're waiting to find out. AI companies aren't losing money on API tokens. What could possibly happen to make prices go 10x when they're already running at a profit? Claude Max might be a different story, but AI is going to get cheaper to run. Not randomly 10x for the same models.

spiderice··on Iran summons families of exiled journalists to halt their activities
Yes, they are very obviously suggesting it didn't happen. I have no idea why certain people on the left want to ignore what is happening on Iran, and even pretend like nothing problematic is happening in Iran.
spiderice··on TikTok settles just before social media addiction trial to begin
That seems like circular logic.

You're saying parental responsibility should govern because TikTok is legal, while cigarettes require state intervention because they're illegal. But they are only illegal because we made them illegal (for minors). And isn't that exactly what is being discussed here?

For the sake of consistency, do you think cigarettes should be legal for minors if they have parental consent? If not, what is the distinction between TikTok and cigarettes that causes you to think the government should be involved in one but not the other?

spiderice··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Ah yes, Tim isn't running again because there is no truth to it. My god. Some of you are so obsessed with the "narrative" that you'll look at the sun and say it's night.
spiderice··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Their daycares, or their "daycares"? Not clear which one you mean.
spiderice··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
Which is probably the easiest thing ever to prove, since people are openly trying to impede them
spiderice··on FBI is investigating Minnesota Signal chats tracking ICE
There are already people on X who have infiltrated chats and posted screen captures. Getting the full content of the chats isn't going to be difficult. They have way to many people in them.
