sschueller··on France pulls last gold held in US for $15B gain
There was that whole spiel of Elon and Trump going to Fort Knox to see if the gold was still there, What ever happened to that?
sschueller··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
The article is not AI slop.

I spent 4 days on it and the video I made to go along with it with me speaking every word. The video has no AI, it is all stock video and audio footage which I pain stackenly stiched together in DaVinci Resolve.

I used AI to spell check and fix my ESL grammer in the article. Initially I also generated a number of unnecessary AI images which I removed again. I only left the ones that explain certain things like the p2p model.

I heard that argument when I got 28.8k modem back in the day when that was quite uncommon.
sschueller··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
Yes, that is sadly still the case but the expansion of the fiber build out is now rapidly moving forward. By 2030 +90% will have fiber

sschueller··on The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn't
Thank you for your feedback. I have adjust the article now.
sschueller··on The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn't
Ok thanks. I will keep that in mind for my next post.

Would you prefer a large wall of text? If that is what people rather have I would leave them out next time. I find it easier to read with images in between the text but I agree, it would be better if the images where not AI.
sschueller··on Why Switzerland has 25 Gbit internet and America doesn't
Agreed but I didn't want to just take random images from the web that I don't have the rights too and I my artistic skills are not good enough.
sschueller··on The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn't
Slop? I wrote this myself over the last 4 days.

[edit] Since people really hate the AI images, I have removed all of the ones not relevant to the article. As soon as the github action is through it will be deployed.

sschueller··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
Virtual Keys is an Enterprise feature. I am not going to pay for something like this in order to provide my family access to all my models. I can do without cost control (although it would be nice) but I need for users to be able to generate a key and us this key to access all the models I provide.
sschueller··on LiteLLM Python package compromised by supply-chain attack
I just found https://github.com/jasmedia/InferXgate which looks interesting although quite new and not supporting so many providers.
sschueller··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
Does anyone know a good alternate project that works similarly (share multipple LLMs across a set of users)? LiteLLM has been getting worse and trying to get me to upgrade to a paid version. I also had issues with creating tokens for other users etc.
sschueller··on Chuck Norris has died
Many like myself did not know this as a kid in the 80s-90s. Some of the movies he made like "sidekicks" left a positive impression at that age.
sschueller··on Show HN: Three new Kitten TTS models – smallest less than 25MB
I'm still looking for the "perfect" setup in order to clone my voice and use it locally to send voice replies in telegram via openclaw. Does anyone have auch a setup?

I want to be my own personal assistant...

EDIT: I can provide it a RTX 3080ti.

sschueller··on Astral to Join OpenAI
MS is actively making your life using VS Codium a pain. They removed the download button the extension marketrplace making it very difficult to download extensions and installing them in VS Codium since VS Codium does not have access to the official MS extension marketplace. Many don't publish outside the marketplace for example Platformio. [1]

sschueller··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
And change the constitution to fix the issue of an administration just ignoring the law.
sschueller··on Aliens.gov ~ domain registered 17MAR2026
I guess they need more money for an agency that burns it. Using conspiracies to goat the dumbed down public to get the ok to spend more money on a pointless Space Force.
sschueller··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
The Swiss eID is open source[1] and it's usage will be limited. Any type of age verification for online service would need go to a vote and would probably loose. "Eigenverantwortung", it is the parents job to look after the kids, not the state.

sschueller··on MoD sources warn Palantir role at heart of government is threat to UK security
The goal of Palantir is clear here. Bleed a small newspaper of its finances using bullshit claims.

Also important to note that a Palantir exec sits on the board of Ringier (aka Blick) one of the two large media conglomerates in Switzerland.

sschueller··on MoD sources warn Palantir role at heart of government is threat to UK security
Palantir is dragging a small independent Swiss investigative newspaper to court because they reported[1] about Palantir getting the door slammed in their face in by several Swiss government agencies including the military over the last years. No one wants this turd of a company.

sschueller··on $96 3D-printed rocket that recalculates its mid-air trajectory using a $5 sensor
I would invert that statement.

The fact that home made drones can cause such havoc to even the best funded military is an equalizer when the military with all the power is actively trying to completely eliminate the otherside.

There are no home made devices a Gazan can build that can protect from a 2000lbs bomb.

sschueller··on US- and Greek-owned tankers ablaze after Iran claims 'underwater drone' strike
These tankers aren't easily replaceable are they? As in it takes significant time to build them.

Even if Trump's claims that the war will end shortly were true. Oil prices are guaranteed not coming down if many more of these ships are sunk.

sschueller··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
I have the feeling my gramatical errors from being ESL appear to be "tolerated" a lot more than a few years ago. By that I mean that it doesn't get called out as much as it used to be.
sschueller··on Kuwaiti F/A-18's Triple Friendly Fire Shootdown Gets Stranger by the Day
Taking out the human factor makes it so much worse.

Building an LLM is one thing but building one specifically to pick targets is another.

For me knowing that my actions may have contributed direcly to the death of anyone is not something I want to live with.

sschueller··on Kuwaiti F/A-18's Triple Friendly Fire Shootdown Gets Stranger by the Day
Cool job? Being ordered to drop bombs on schools filled with children doesn't seems like a cool job..
sschueller··on OpenAI robotics lead Caitlin Kalinowski quits in response to Pentagon deal
I can guarantee you that if there were an accurate test for morality (like humanity) it would show the ones with the least, being the most powerful and wealthy on this planet.
sschueller··on US asked Ukraine for help fighting Iranian drones, Zelensky says
Useless if there isn't any amo left for them.
sschueller··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
It can and is enforced. Again it's if the person is the focus of your video.

If you post a video online of someone's worst day which you decided to film for entertainment, they can legally go after you.

sschueller··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
Of course, why wouldn't they? They do not work without a meta account. /s

Is anyone at meta going to be bald accountable?

An absolute privacy nightmare especially in places like Switzerland or Germany where recording people (subject focus) even in public is not permitted without consent but you have tourists now showing up everywhere wearing these.

The LED is barely visible during the day and some have modified their glasses to disable/remove it.
