If you're (a) unconscious, (b) hooked up to a bunch of machines, and (c) can't wake up or live without an operational hookup to those machines, then: When the doctors turn them off that is neither suicide nor murder. It will be then, as it largely is now, an informed decision made by medical staff and next of kin.

@Terretta > So close.

What do you think is missing from Prince’s pay-per-crawl to fully bridge the gap between user experience and sustainable content monetization?

I'm curious to hear your take on this. Do you think new, simple sustainable content models will emerge to support the diverse content the current web offers, or are we heading for a significant consolidation of information where only the largest players can survive?

I am thinking along the lines of a new open protocol for for-profit web content, content creators could even be paid on the DNS level. Technical users can roll their own SSCP(simple-sustainable-content-protocol(s)) linked with a blockchain wallet or other and every user's browser will have a SSCP wallet for content spends.

Always enjoy your thoughtful perspectives.

Ignorance was the most charitable interpretation that I could infer from your original statements. It seems clear that it was sincerely believed and well-intentioned; it's equally clear that your operating knowledge of ADHD research, diagnosis and clinical treatment has some significant gaps.

We're not going to bridge this disagreement over a HN comment thread. I would respectfully urge you not to spread that sort of misinformation online. Leave any advice regarding ADHD to be provided by qualified medical professionals, as your own advice could result in people not obtaining life-altering treatment due to FUD.

This is the worst thing that I will read all day, probably for the next month.

So, what I concluded, and I'm just speaking my mind since I have no desire to further engage, is that the FSF intentionally adopted religious mechanisms of growth and cult-like thinking because they couldn't think of any other way to recruit enough software engineers to their cause. Most of the engineers grew disillusioned and left. What remains are the loudest zealots with the least code written. They have the most to gain from shouting their message, hoping to make it seem true so that someone else will write their drivers and desktop software.

> Frankly, this is strictly a positive signal to me.

How?

> The reason you can't run GPU workloads on top of fargate and lambda is because exposing physical 3rd-party hardware to untrusted customer code dramatically increases the startup and shutdown costs

This is BS. Both NVidia and AMD offer virtualization extensions. And even without that, they can simply power-cycle the GPUs after switching tenants.

Moreover, Fargate is used for long-running tasks, and it definitely can run on a regular Nitro stack. They absolutely can provide GPUs for them, but it likely requires a lot of internal work across teams to make it happen. So it doesn't happen.

I worked at AWS, in a team responsible for EC2 instance launching. So I know how it all works internally :)

One reason it is concerning.

I am mostly worried that I am wrong, in my opinion, that "agents" is a bad paradigm for working with LLMs

I have been using LLMs since I got my first Open AI API key, I think "human in the loop" is what makes them special

I have massively increased my fun, and significantly increased my productivity using just the raw chat interface.

It seems to me that building agents to do work that I am responsible for is the opposite of fun and a productivity sink as I correct the rare, but must check for it, bananas mistakes these agents inevitably make

Amazon has big enough global footprint of offices all over the world that even if someone loses their visa they can easily relocate back to their own country and work on the same projects from any of the massive offices there. And this actually happens all the time. Folks in Amazon move around as needed across border. The idea of h1-b servitude does not hold much relevance for companies like Amazon who have built massive offshore centers in the last few years.

Yes I find the modularity to be a huge mistake (for a certain definition of modularity obviously). If nothing else the quality of documentation seems to drop off a cliff.

Maybe I'm just going mad but it seems like simple OIDC integration work is an utter pain.

And the database point is a good one. There doesn't seem to be any innovation in ideology or design the dotnet ecosystem along these lines.

Whether you like it or not, somebody selling keeps most of us in a job. Mostly I’m a software developer but I’m in a role now that requires selling. The simple truth is that most people need some kind of push to get them to make a decision. Whether that’s a needs based thing as described in “buyer-pull” or a couple of little harmless manipulations doesn’t really matter in the end. As long as the customer got what they wanted it’s mutually beneficial.

And bonus: you get to keep a job sheltered away from the grotty truth of how the money is made that funds your salary.

Revenue... yes. Profit is still an open question.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/08/08/chatgpt-gpt-5-openai-altman-...

> Last year, OpenAI expected about $5 billion in losses on $3.7 billion in revenue. OpenAI’s annual recurring revenue is now on track to pass $20 billion this year, but the company is still losing money.

> “As long as we’re on this very distinct curve of the model getting better and better, I think the rational thing to do is to just be willing to run the loss for quite a while,” Altman told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” in an interview Friday following the release of GPT-5.

Selling compute for less than it cost you will have as much revenue as you want to pay for.

In my part of PA there are 3 in the process of going in nearby. I think the largest of the 3 is "only" 828 megawatts though. One of the others is supposed to be 300MW, and I'm not sure about the 3rd. There is another group talking about 3 more campuses with a combined power budget of 1.3GW about 55 miles from here. But then while we don't have cheap land, we do have nuclear and hydroelectric in the area, so I guess the makes it attractive.

One of the ways you know if you're really practicing this is if you actively disqualify potential customers after the first call.

Not them disqualifying you, but you actively saying, "Hey, not sure we are the right solution for you. Seems like you're trying to achieve X, but we're really better fit if you're trying to achieve Y."

This is in lieu of trying to convince them that you're a good fit for X, or that they should actually really be wanting to achieve Y.

Quick disqualification is sort of a counter-intuitive idea for a lot of throughput maximizing engineers. Shouldn't we want to optimize every lead?

Perhaps, but I think the better frame is optimizing productive seller-minutes. And time spent on deals that should die (and probably will die, eventually) is definitely not optimized.

> You didn't make arguments.

There was nothing to argue, your statement was unsupported, and the only thing you included was caustic criticism and broad over-generalization both fallacy implying what I was saying was shitty wellness cures and that has no basis and your post was designed to impose personal cost.

Why would I respond to that beyond my given response, when anything more is just giving psychopaths, narcissists, and other like-minded and rightfully ill people just what they seek?

I give very minimal effort to mindless bots; and that includes whether they are of the mechanical or base human variety level 0s incapable of introspection/objective reasoning, always trying to bring everyone else down to their crude and base level.

If you can't understand what you did and how it relates to fallacy, its not my job to educate you.

You clearly don't understand basic critical thinking skills, and are quite toxic for no good reason saying much more about yourself than anything you have to say about others. Arguably, no different than any other conditioned animal, and I don't take any pleasure in saying that.

You are mistaken, I'm not blind, I have a deeper understanding than you, quite apparently. I am also not easily manipulated and quite discerning.

I understand how things fail in detail, and I don't assume that contention you make about authority.

Those are your words, and false words at that.

Everyone has the potential to be better, few among the many actually choose to act on the potential and do so.

This is recognized earliest in Matthew 7:6, and in the behavior you exhibited. Compare and contrast.

On one hand, it obviously terrible that we can expect more crime and more sophisticated crime.

On the other it's kind of uplifting to see how quickly independent underground economy adopted AI without any blessing (and much scorn) from the main players to do things that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive.

Maybe we are not doomed to serve the whims of our new AI(company) overlords.

Anthropic is by far the most annoying and self-righteous AI/LLM company. Despite stiff competition from OpenAI and Deepmind, it's not even close.

The most chill are Kimi and Deepseek, and incidentally also Facebook's AI group.

I wouldn't use any Anthropic product for free. I certainly wouldn't pay for it. There's nothing Claude does that others don't do just as well or better.

Go try the shortcuts app. It is an absolute nightmare. Get a few blocks to fill up the screen and then put something at the end. Good luck... the work around I have is put a nothing block at the end.

But that's not even half of it. I had a nice rsync script on termux that would back up my media to my local machine via rsync if I was on WiFi and connected to my local SSID. Like 20 lines including the logging. But I still haven't found a good way to do this with an iPhone. Best idiotic hack I've found is shortcuts were I ssh into the machine and then write the file if it doesn't already exist or dump it to /dev/null if it does. It's dumb that I'm mimicking rsync. It's dumb I have to dump to /dev/null. It's dumb I have to define a fixed number of videos and images. It's dumb I'm using shortcuts and can't just use a terminal emulator because all of them can't get access to my photos folder "for my protection". This is so much unnecessary complexity for what should be a trivial task and I can't even guarantee it gets all my media without crashing! This shit is driving me insane. If you wrote shortcuts I'd like to buy you a drink because I am absolute impressed with how terrible this app is. Like do you all program it blind? I just need to know

This is a very neat effect and it looks great, but I feel I have to ask:

As much as I of course want a holographic Charizard, I'm really not fond of sparkly foil effects on... anything. Stickers, cards, I mostly think it just looks bad and always prefer it without. Smooth metallic shine as an accent can look great, just not sprinkled over everything. Am I alone in this? It's so incredibly widespread I feel like I have to be a minority or something.

NVMe hats work in OpenBSD, it's NVMe boot that doesn't work at present. It still needs support added to the U-Boot firmware, which OpenBSD uses here. Raspbian and other Linux distros are typically booted differently on this hardware (Linux kernel image is loaded directly by the GPU, not joking.)

Also, Wi-Fi is supported on some Raspberry Pi 5 models, with the bwfm(4) Broadcom driver. It's just the later D0 hardware stepping that doesn't, C1 works fine.

I believe Ethernet may also be working via the cad(4)/Cadence driver, but I don't have the hardware to test it.

It's a similar loophole as public libraries. When I was a kid, I read thousands of books from the library, without paying anyone anything.

But as for the crawl loophole: CCBot obeys robots.txt, and CCBot also preserves all robots.txt and REPL signals so that downstream users can find out if a website intended to block them at crawl time.

One really interesting strategy the US could pursue here would be to heavily tariff solar[1] and just randomly attack wind projects[2]. Just completely self-own itself on the two cheapest energy sources.

It wouldn't make any sense, but it would be provocative, really drive engagement.

Despite his mad and destructive social and political side, as an engineer and business man he is extremely smart and effective.

He makes lots of unnecessary major and cringy mistakes in both engineering and business too, but his net on both counts is astounding.

And while he may overuse it for PR, he has put himself at great financial risk when pushing through major capability developments and business hurdles. His rewards were earned.

But the sick picture of the richest person in the world, spamming stupidity, and harming countless numbers of people's lives in order to prop up his juvenile ego is hard to look past for many. For good reason.

He is a strong mix of both extremes of capability/impact spectrum, not just one.

If people drink less alcohol politicians will have to raise tax revenue some other way, or cut school funding. Either one may cost them re-election. So maybe they won't try so hard to reduce alcohol consumption. In the extreme, sociopathic case, they could tank funding for addiction programs, to take one hypothetical.

The point is: misaligned incentives.

Of course they've stood it out. The rate of change and the R&D expenditure is off the charts. It buys them marginal utility to hire AI talent at incredible salaries to keep them at table stakes.

Meanwhile, the models are getting larger and more complex, with more users, putting the support infrastructure well beyond what individuals and even small companies can afford to outright buy. You can easily spend well over a million on even basic infrastructure to try to support some of the newer models and make it available to a few end users.

As a point of strategy for individuals and small entities, it really is cheaper in this case to spin up some AWS instances for a bit to do some LLM work and then spin them down when not in use.

So if you were AWS do you mine for gold? Or do you sell shovels?

Prove me wrong. Anduril saving lives means nothing; terrorists and rapists can save lives, they're still terrorists and rapists though. Criminal lifesaving isn't justice.

If your tenure as GI has shown you anything else, then prove me wrong and forever preserve Luckey's honor. I only ever knew him as the guy who gooned to Asuka porn and collected floral clothing. He was really keen on making sure I knew him for that, but how did you know him?

> It's how the code point address space is defined.

Not really. Unicode is still fundamentally based off of the codepoints, which go from 0 to 2^16 + 2^20, and all of the algorithms of Unicode properties operate on these codepoints. It's just that Unicode has left open a gap of codepoints so that the upper 2^20 codepoints can be encoded in UTF-16 without risk of confusion of other UCS-2 text.

The bit about legal is critical. Im specifically working on "how do we use LLMs in a data-safe way?". Most of the huge gains require exposing information of at least a semi-sensitive nature. For now, that's probably going to shake out as "Copilot or self-host models". I believe that the infrastructure available to self-host at an enterprise level will start growing rapidly due to this trust problem.

Copilot gets the legal nod because Microsoft already has a very, very long history of being trusted with essentially all of an organizations most sensitive information, they have a lot to work with there when it comes to convincing execs that they can safely handle sensitive data in the cloud. (Im am not convinced of that personally).

They got burned by over-promising Apple Intelligence and then embarking on a so-far failed, rudderless journey to land features regular people actually gave a shit about. I’m no expert, but I reckon the exact right move is concentrating on their actual deliverable products and features and letting everyone else blow their cash on a maybe months-long moat for dubiously useful advances in categories most of their customers wish everyone would stop talking about.

Evolution doesn't care. It's a greedy optimizer that loves its local minima. If it happens to optimize for things like quality of life, it's incidental. Humans can do better than that.

I'm baffled by your desire to defend the status quo that involves you and everyone you love dying a long and miserable death before the age of 100. Even more so with the amount of "actual real diseases" that loop back around to aging.

Look, I'm American too and I get AM/PM but lots of the world uses 24hr clocks. Maybe if you stop talking about how smart you are you'll actually be able to hear the question you're trying to answer. It'll go a long way to making other people think you're smart.

I think you've identified the symptom but misidentified the cause. The CDC can identify issues and provide recommendation and guidance.

Implementation and enforcement are federal and state legislative responsibilities. The CDC has known vitamin D deficiency is an issue for awhile; why aren't we handing out vitamin D tablets at school? Hint: it would cost money and at least one party has no new taxes as a pretty consistent plank.

This isn't right. Midday / midnight are not the 60 seconds it takes for a digital clock to go from showing 12:00 to 12:01. They are the infinitesimally small point in time that mark the transition between "before" and "after".

Like throwing a ball up into air, there is no time where it is not either rising or falling, but there is a point where it transitions from one to the other.

So midday is 12:00pm. As soon as the moment has been observed it has passed, and you are now "post meridiem".

I’ve worked through all 3 CEO eras of Microsoft. Satya’s biggest mistake will be breaking the internal culture that made Microsoft what it is, for better and worse. Classic “be careful what you wish for” or perhaps law of unintended consequences, imo.

And yes, part of that involves the way they’ve changed the hiring and retention objectives.
