underdeserver··on I Built the Most AI-Pilled Company in the World
This is bananas!

One thing he doesn't mention is memory. What happens when the context runs out? How do agents preserve state and what are they continuously being prompted with?

underdeserver··on Solar power is becoming bigger than nuclear
Why only 20%? Is there a theoretical maximum?
underdeserver··on Google cleared 300 hectares of Finnish forest
For those dizzied by the quick unit changes:

Forest loss in Finland - 243,000 hectares = 600,000 acres

Finland total - 20.3-26.3 million hectares = 50-65 million acres

US forest loss - 1.2M hectares = 3M acres US forest conversions - 1.05M hectares = 2.6M acres

Brazil - 985k hectares = 2.43M acres India - 26,858 hectares = 66,368 acres

underdeserver··on Muse exposes users' personal and business secrets when they share conversations
Thanks. It wasn't clear to me what the actual issue was from the headline.
underdeserver··on Chicago O'Hare digs up 50-ton boulder under airfield, asks public for name ideas
I wonder if there'll be an episode of Hello Internet on it.
underdeserver··on I Became a Citizen of Japan
The study of arcane procedures and immigration of all sorts comes up here very often.
underdeserver··on Tesla Roadster
Now put six of them in a field and throw in a huge soccer ball.
underdeserver··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
The headline is "Online ads weaponised to deliver ‘zero-click’ spyware, researchers say"
underdeserver··on AdFection: Targeted ads turned into a pipeline for zero-click mercenary spyware
You're right. Never in history and never anywhere else in the world have Jews been persecuted.
underdeserver··on REA Reverse – Engineer Anything
It's harder in the exact way that AI is good at, though. You need to slog through very large amounts of boilerplate until you find what you're looking for.

It's not really more complex once you're practiced at it, just tedious.

underdeserver··on “Math 2.0” will need to value mathematical progress more holistically
Even when a problem got solved, there has always been value in publishing simpler proofs and corollaries that give better intuition into the broader field.

If I understand Tao correctly, he's saying that's going to have to be the focus going forward. I just default to thinking the models are going to be much better than us at that, too.

underdeserver··on The Mathocalypse
Doesn't look like these proofs are from the book.
underdeserver··on The last time my family was replaced by technology
There are enough jurisdictions in the world where if the car really was good enough, they'd let it go. Even in the US.

It took some time for cars to be available even in good weather in specific places, so I'm guessing no, the cars aren't good enough.

underdeserver··on How Delhi cut electricity loss from 50 to 5 percent
I suspect the semantics are about how long in advance it's planned. A day or two? Planned. An hour? Hard sell.
underdeserver··on 'We hacked the FBI:' Hackers say they have data on all FBI employees
Agents doxxing agents, in a way.
underdeserver··on The darker side of being a doctor
It's ridiculous. We need more doctors.
underdeserver··on I Don't Like LLMs
Somewhere there's a Charlie Munger quote about how that's the best thing about being rich - you don't have to spend time with people you don't like.
underdeserver··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
And I'm just sitting here looking at the Codex desktop mac app wondering why a list, a chat window and textbox require a 579 MB download (compressed) and 4 GB of RAM.
underdeserver··on I resigned from Anthropic today
Climate doomers: Climate change will kill us all by the end of the century!

AI doomers: End of the century? Hold my beer.

underdeserver··on .name Termination
dang and team, perhaps it makes sense to special-case .name domains in the domain hint, like you do for GitHub and Ex-Twitter.
underdeserver··on The creator of Jujutsu has joined ERSC
Thanks!

Maybe if Martin could comment - his @google.com email still appears in the repo readme, I'm assuming he doesn't have access to that box anymore - was the repo move and ownership coordinated with Google prior to his leaving?

underdeserver··on The creator of Jujutsu has joined ERSC
Wasn't it partially owned by Google? Or are they just a contributer now?

If I remember correctly, Mitchell Hashimoto uses it for Ghostty (probably under the git backend).
underdeserver··on Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B
Then use that as the link.

Everything I can find online is referring to this one source. That doesn't tell me if it's happening or not.

underdeserver··on Omarchy development practices lead to predictable security issues
"In full" is a tall order that no other OS or distro claims.

No reason Qt or quickshell is any different from any other software.

Bash is... harder, not impossible. I wouldn't rely on it.

underdeserver··on How I find problems to solve as a staff engineer
This is not distinct.

Even in a big corp there are always problems to solve. The point is to find problems that both:

1) are hard enough that someone junior won't be able to solve them alone, and

2) actually provide value to the company / users

underdeserver··on Stop Making TUIs
That is, as TFA mentions, the one good argument.
underdeserver··on Stop Making TUIs
But in the article all these GUIs are vibe coded. Tell your AI to allow more than one window. What's the problem?
underdeserver··on Stop Making TUIs
So you have a cluttered list of terminal tabs instead of a cluttered list of windows.

But with a worse UX?

underdeserver··on Stop Making TUIs
They generally stay supported, or if not supported, working.
