It's fine, it's okay. It's not like these funky LLMs will be used in any critical capacity in our lives like deciding if we make it through the first step of a job application or if we're saying anything nefarious on our government monitored chats. Or approving novel pharmaceuticals, or deciding which grant proposals to accept or deciding which government workers aren't important and can be safely laid off! /s
Show HN: AI fantasy football debaters kickoff this weekend
by machinemusic | 2025-09-01 16:01:58+00:00
I built Fantasy Football Neuron to see what would happen if AI analysts went head-to-head in live fantasy football debates. With the NFL opener this weekend, the project is hitting a critical moment.

The response has been amazing, and we're seeing some real traction:

307+ user signups before the season has even started.

The AI debates are running 24/7 as users test their theories.

This has also created a classic indie-hacker challenge: scaling for a massive traffic spike. To keep the high-quality AI voice debates running smoothly for the full kickoff weekend, I've budgeted $975 for the necessary server resources.

So, I'm posting here to see if there's a company or individual who'd like to become the project's first sponsor and help power the launch.

In exchange for covering the kickoff weekend costs, I can offer prominent logo placement and "powered by" mentions across the platform:

On the main app (fantasyfootballneuron.app)

During the live streams on Twitch and YouTube

In all related social media posts this week

The streams are ready to go: Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/footballagents YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@footballagents25

If you're interested in being the first believer and getting your brand in front of a dedicated audience of fantasy football and AI enthusiasts right at the peak of opening weekend, I'd love to connect.

> ccache works at a translation unit level which means it isn't any better than just make-style incremental rebuilds when you aren't throwing away the build directory

You used many words just so say "ccache is a build cache".

> it still needs to rebuild the whole translation unit from scratch if a single line in some header changes.

You are using many words to say "ccache rebuilds a translation unit when it changes".

What point were you trying to make?

>Stop strawmanning.

Nice try, but asking a question confirming your opponent's position isn't a strawman.

>No, there's no "wording" that gets you off the hook. That's the point. It's a question of design and presentation. Would a legal "Reasonable Person" seeing the site know it was another site's info, e.g. literally showing the site in an iframe, or is google presenting it as their own info?

So you want the disclaimer to be reworded and moved up top?

Gas complements everything well. It's relatively cheap, easy to store power in large amounts and completely dispatchable. Nothing else can do all 3.

Batteries work well for short term day-to-day storage but they're impossibly expensive for seasonal storage which we will need a solution for for the last ~5-10% of decarbonization.

Probably the only way to fully decarbonize will eventually be to synthesize gas.

Not really. You might want to look at what Rivian has been sharing about their vehicle hardware and software architecture. Sandy Munro did a few on site visits with their team.

I think you are underestimating how complex EVs are, how much software goes into them, and what goes into coming up with an alternative software stack. Also, I doubt that the likes of Rivian, Tesla, etc. are going to just let people boot whatever on their cars. Why would they?

But at the lower levels, hacking things like battery management systems is definitely a thing that is done and somewhat supported. A lot of retrofits where ICE engines are swapped out for an electrical drive train end up repurposing drive trains from EVs.

Kent, whenever you're at a point where you could make a good decision and make progress on any non-technical axis, you choose to attack something or someone. This is why you're getting the reactions you are getting. bcachefs design looks good, literally everything else about the project is miserable, because of this.

Now, I fully expect you to react poorly to this message, too. That is the expectation the world has formed of you. Think about that.

There was a post on HN the other day where someone was launching an email assistant that used AI to summarise emails that you received. The idea didn't excite me, it scared me.

I really wish the tech industry would stop rushing out unreliable misinformation generators like this without regard for the risks.

Google's "AI summaries" are going to get someone killed one day. Especially with regards to sensitive topics, it's basically an autonomous agent that automates the otherwise time-consuming process of defamation.

I've been storing OTP secrets using `pass`[0] with `pass-otp`[1]. This does the whole symmetric encryption for me using `gpg`, decodes the URL for me to pass it into oathtool, and allows me to share the codes with my phone using Android Password Store[2]. This is all deceptively simple to set up, assuming you have a git server you trust to synchronize the codes with, or some kind of other method using maybe tailscale or syncthing? As long as you don't need the codes on Windows, where the QtPass app is unmaintained and can't generate OTP codes on Windows, you're mostly good.

Oh and I use `zbarimg` to decode the QR, as I've integrated it with my screenshot script and it can decode more than just QR codes.

Their planned semantics don't allow for that - there's no backpressure in that system, so it might race ahead and process up to e.g. item 100 while still working on item 1.

If everything fits in memory, that's completely fine. And then yeah, this is wildly overcomplicated, just use a waitgroup and a slice and write each result into its slice index and wait for everything to finish - that matches your Java example.

But when it doesn't fit in memory, that means you have unbounded buffer growth that might OOM.

Who, SPECIFICALLY PLEASE, at the CDC "branded the lab-leak hypothesis a conspiracy theory and quickly dismissed it"?

Not the press, not some rando on twitter, not some anonymous and probably made up "source", not "people are saying"-- which actual CDC employee or appointee did this?

I keep asking, and people keep making up bullshit.

It's also used by the actual territorial state to project power through corporations, by influencing them to project their policies. I'm reminded of the story of the guy that had his google account shut down for "CSAM" because they took explicit medical pictures of their child at the directions of physicians, that were only privately shared solely for the purpose of aiding diagnosis. Apparently google works with the government to create these systems to scan your cloud images in the background.

Nitpick but I accidentally upvoted the article (in the bearblog.dev website itself, the small upvote in the website)

and turns out once you upvote, you can't downvote?

Well, I love minimalist site providers Its license is AGPL which still technically falls under Open source as to what "OSI?" says.

Source available just have a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe my critique of them isn't based on good intentions but I feel like I am getting really restricted as a user by source available licenses. I understand the pain of developers trying to make money. I just think that AGPL is a better use case and even elastic search went back to agpl and a lot of these source available things are going to agpl

I am sure that big tech might be able to bypass agpl itself somehow and that's why there were things like sspl but I still think that agpl is one of the most rock solid copy left licenses.
by jraph | 2025-09-01 16:07:41+00:00
This point of view is new to me to be honest.

Let's say I don't care about the intent of people choosing the AGPL (I do, I wish people did stuff for altruistic reasons, but the economical system in which we live makes it so we can't rely on this).

You say people are choosing the AGPL because they think it lets them do effectively source-available while benefiting from open source washing. Fine. I don't like this. But the effect of this for me is that we actually get actual free software.

What's so bad with this?

I've reread your second text and didn't find what's actually bad with the AGPL.

Now, I wish all the FUD around AGPL was cleared; the FUD is what's bad, but I don't wan't to wait for this to happen before picking the AGPL for my software.

Interesting. That’s the first genocide I’ve heard of where the population increased during the genocide.

By the same logic:

Pearl harbour: 2k soldiers killed, 100k+ innocent civilians as retaliation. Twin towers: 2k civilians killed, 1m+ innocent civilian casualties in the war on terror as retaliation October 7th: 2k civilians killed, only 60k in retaliation, of which a good portion hamas fighters, and the rest fully supporting hamas and having elected them in democratic elections in 2006, where they preached literal genocide on Israel during their campaign.

Always funny how these definitions are rather arbitrary..

I have been coding and athletic training for about as long as eachother, your anecdote works. However just like in physical training, you should really spare your energy for stuff that you enjoy and actually progresses you.

By using LLMs to do some of the stuff I have long gotten over, I have a bit more mental energy to tackle new problems I wouldn't have previously.

As well LLMs just aren't actually that competent yet, so it's not like devs are completely hands off. Since I barely do boilerplate as I work across legacy projects, there's no way Claude Code today is writing half my code.

I’ve been having those discussions with friends for the last 3 or 4 years. The downside of having local infra is pretty much having someone that has the experience to do it right. While this article covered the higher end, the math on the lower end tends to work out at 1 year of ownership depending on what you already have because you will probably already have a small rack and some networking gear.

My main concern is that at the current cloud premiums rates, I will be better off even if I need to hire someone specifically for managing the local infra.

I'd love to know why this happens so much. There's enough people in both groups that do spot it and don't spot it. I don't think I've ever felt the need for a sarcasm marker when I've seen one. Yet without it, it seems there will always be people taking things literally.

It doesn't feel like something where people gradually pick up on it either over the years, it just feels like sarcasm is either redundantly pointed out for those who get it or it is guaranteed to get a literal interpretation response.

Maybe it's because the literal interpretation of sarcasm is almost always so wrong that it inspires people to comment much more. So we just can't get away from this inefficient encoding/communication pattern.

But then again, maybe I'm just often assuming people mean things that sound so wrong to me as sarcasm, so perhaps there are a lot of people out there honestly saying the opposite to what I think they are saying as a joke.

I feel you, though this is why it's quite useful to have your own repo (or even just a dot file you can scp) with your dots files in them so you can "move in" to any machine and feel at home. Just clone/scp, then run your move in script.

This also applies to say vimrc (choose your editor/tool of choice).

We all think ourselves as understanding the tradeoffs of this tech and that we know how to use it responsibly. And we here may be right. But the typical person wants to do the least amount of effort and thinking possible. Our society will evolve to reflect this, it won't be great, and it will affect all of us no matter how personally responsible some of us remain.

> Nice try, but asking a question confirming your opponent's position isn't a strawman.

It isn't inherently, but it certainly can be! For example in the way you used it.

If I were to ask, confirming your position, "so you believe the presence of a disclaimer removes all legal responsibility?" then you would in turn accuse me of strawmanning.

Back to the topic at hand, I believe the bar that would need to be met exceeds the definition of "disclaimer", regardless of wording or position. So no.

I also worked in finance and couldn't agree more. The whole corporate thing is a farce. Spend a year "gathering data" or "planning" only for everything to boil down to one guy making an arbitrary decision which no one goes against because "that's just how it works". That industry exists no matter how you decision-make because it's slurping off an endless money fountain.
