I don't think it's about recreating a world that doesn't exist anymore. It's about limiting exposure of stuff to minds that simply aren't ready for it. The implementation falls short in a number of ways but I kinda get it and I think it's something we as a society will have to take seriously in coming years.

For example, Australia blocks Youtube (like you say) but doesn't block Roblox. That's wild.

For Youtube in particular, I think it'd be sufficient to have child accounts under their parents (as they did and still have elsewhere) that limited certain videos but also, disallowing commenting and probably even reading comments.

A big thing we need to do is shut down Internet gambling and, more importantly, the precursors to gambling, which is anything that promotes the same addictive behavior. That includes all those "free" gotcha games that aren't really games. They're daily chores with random rewards and paid boosts to induce addictive behavior.

Apps like Stake need to be completely removed from the App stores.

I also think Fanduel and DraftKings should be illegal. I'm even leery on young people playing fantasy draft games, even for no money, because it's a gambling pipeline.

Oh and putting your children on the Internet as like a Youtube family? That should be illegal.

Algorithmic feeds in general I think are bad but particularly for young people. Because they're designed to induce addiction and "engagement".

I think phones will soon be good enough (if they're not already) to do background age verifications to make sure the user is of appropriate age via the camera and processed locally (to avoid uploading pictures of minors). At some point I think we'll see that integrated into major platforms.

The point of restrictions isn't to be perfect. It's to create a barrier that makes things more difficult. In years past we did this by, say, only showing more adult content on TV after certain times. Could kids stay up late to watch it? Or tape it once VCRs became coomon? Of course. But it helped.

Just like gambling. Requiring someone to physically go to a casino reduced harm compared to just opening their phone wherever they are. It's a bit like having to go to the store to get ice cream or alcohol or whatever your vice vs just having it in your house or even getting it delivered.

I think we as a society need more barriers.

agreed. This is definitely free PR for OpenCode. I didn't try it myself until I heard the kerfuffle around Anthropic enforcing their ToS. It definitely has a much nicer UX than claude-code, so I might give the GPT subscription a shot sometime, given that it's officially supported w/ 3rd party harnesses, and gpt 5.2 doesn't appear to be that far behind Opus (based on what other people say).

Many of those lack spontaneity though. I don’t walk past a climbing gym with a friend of mine and think “fancy popping in there for an hour or so?” You need to plan a visit to many of those places so you have the right clothing/footwear/etc.

The social point of a pub is that you can just decide to go in on a whim. Pubs are increasingly not about alcohol either. I’ve had a few instances in the last couple of years where I couldn’t drink alcohol for extended periods (various reasons, mostly medication related). Hasn’t stopped me going to the pub.

Years ago you would get an odd look if a group walked into a pub and all ordered soft drinks but not so much now (well, you still will get that in some pubs).

Obviously I’m not out looking for another place to buy a lime and soda after midnight but I can quite happily have an evening out without having to drink alcohol whilst others do or don’t around me.

If you're on postgres happy to have you try what we built at Ardent (https://tryardent.com). Our agent makes instant copies of your db for the agent to operate on so there's 0 risk for your db to ever get wiped.

email me -> vikram@tryardent.com

We're building support for snowflake too if that's something you use

Maybe most of these regulations already come with these restrictions, but in my view social media apps that cater to under-16 can operate if:

- they dont offer an "algorithmic" feed - underage can only see content from who they follow and, most importantly

- photographs NOT allowed.

I bet 90% of social issues with "social media" disappears if these tools go back to 1990s style internet

I agree with you on the kei truck. They are pretty darn tough, and have so many uses.

However, they are TINY inside. If you are taller 6'1" and/or heavier than 200lbs, it is a tight squeeze, especially for anything longer than 30 minutes. The "average American" can't fit it a kei truck.

Also, the weird manliness of the average American man would make this truck unsuccessful, simply because it is too small. Which is hilarious, because some of the most resourceful, strongest, reliable and adventurous men I have met drive kei trucks.

I guess finally, the big highways with longhaul trucks and fast speeds are not so good in a k-truck.

The explanation is that the trusted brands (in 2Ws) are just now rolling-out EVs, the market is very conservative and home charging likely isn't an option if one's renting.

The cheaper variants now have enough range to relieve (urban) range anxiety, wasn't the case a year or two ago. My own model that's 4 years old, the new variant now has 2.5x range, faster charging and much better features. All that for the same price, and without any of the subsidies that used to exist.

These things take time, this is a low-margin business that isn't drowning in VC money.

> I am of the opinion that Nvidia's hit the wall with their current architecture

Based on what?

Their measured performance on things people care about keep going up, and their software stack keeps getting better and unlocking more performance on existing hardware

Inference tests: https://inferencemax.semianalysis.com/

Training tests: https://www.lightly.ai/blog/nvidia-b200-vs-h100

https://newsletter.semianalysis.com/p/mi300x-vs-h100-vs-h200... (only H100, but vs AMD)

> but nothing about the industry's finances add up right now

Is that based just on the HN "it is lots of money so it can't possibly make sense" wisdom? Because the released numbers seem to indicate that inference providers and Anthropic are doing pretty well, and that OpenAI is really only losing money on inference because of the free ChatGPT usage.

Further, I'm sure most people heard the mention of an unnamed enterprise paying Anthropic $5000/month per developer on inference(!!) If a company if that cost insensitive is there any reason why Anthropic would bother to subsidize them?

Look you keep putting words in my mouth in a quite rude fashion.

You make this situation confusing by basically arguing against a strawman. Where did I say lenders are a homogeneous group? Where did I say that lenders dont understand risks and interest rates? Im pushing back against the prevalent notion that PEs are somehow hoodwinking lenders into constantly taking losses. Its not happening. Thats it. Feel free to show me data that proves otherwise.

If you just want to do a monologue about PEs and their shenanigans then please by all means do so but dont do it as a reply to my comment. Thank you.

> Anthropic doesn't want anyone training on its model or using its tools outside of its blessed environment.

They have no problem with anyone using this. They just don't want you to get the subsidized cost.

You can use opencode directly via the api. Not through the pro/max plan.

> Anthropic is going to put extreme pricing pressure on your wages soon. You shouldn't give them an ounce of latitude when they act like an antagonist. You should hope that Anthropic has a ton of competition, not that they get to defend their moat.

Maybe. But the internet in which I grew up, and the movements within open source would say you free as in freedom, not as in beer. They can charge. If anyone wants to move, they can use OpenCode with any model. If enough people leave, the market will dictacte.

I prefer Open Source, yes. If they license it that way, I can't say that I still will because I don't like it. They do give the option.

I'm really glad that you're making and selling far-UVC products. Nukit is the other manufacturer (aside from Aerolamp) that I feature on https://www.faruvc.org

I really hope that your thesis is correct, and we end up with widespread low cost high quality unencumbered far-UVC. In my looking, though, it seems like bulb life is an issue? Is that right, or have I been snookered by Ushio's marketing?

To be fair, this is sort of pitting two policy objectives against each other, preventing children from accessing pornography meant for adults on one hand and preventing the distribution of pornography illegal in all cases (e.g. revenge porn, CSAM) on the other. Reasonable people can disagree on which is more important and which should take priority (though I would agree that the latter should take priority)
by parasubvert | 2026-01-15 02:03:38+00:00
Terrible policy. It denies freedom of expression to an entire class of citizens and their parents. This should be unconstitutional in most of North America and Western Europe.

I was a kid online with BBS' in the 1980s when I was 10 years old and met many of my best friends that way. I have teens that met their close friends locally online too. This will also just lead to parents creating accounts for the kids. I'd much rather have parental controls to manage my kids account.

And if the issue is bad parents , it isn't the role of the state to be a nanny. Safeguards and laws yes, but this is too far and almost totalitarian. Political parties that adopt this stance should be laughed out of power.

Worse, these authors are not interested in debate, they just delete comments that don't agree with them. Charlatans.

No, I condemn neither.

I find that consistent. The ACLU calls both monstrous. Obama set the precedent for using ICE in the current way, Trump continued Obamas policies. The two are similar.

If someone says they condemn both, I respect that. The person has integrity.

If someone says they condemn neither ( as I do ), I also respect that. They are acknowledging what the ACLU and others say — the presidents have used ICE in similar ways.

If someone condemns only one and is silent about the other, to me that signals a lack of integrity. I don’t see a logical way to excuse only one. It doesn’t seem possible to tolerate the behavior of one while condemning the other. Read the ACLU articles if you need evidence of the similarities.

You say Trump is 10 times worse than Obama, I see nothing that even remotely suggests this is true. If you have any articles to show that back this up, please show them.

There is no such thing as continuous context. There is only context that you start and stop, which is the same as typing those words in the prompt. To make anything carry over to a second thread, it must be included in the second thread's context.

Rules are just context, too, and all elaborate AI control systems boil down to these contexts and tool calls.

In other words, you can rig it up anyway you like. Only the context in the actual thread (or "continuation," as it used to be called) is sent to the model, which has no memory or context outside that prompt.

A lot of current American cultures with centuries of history would fail that test. The Amish have very strong extended family ties, and I think Pennsylvania would lose a lot of its culture if the Amish disappeared or assimilated.

Do you have any examples of immigrant groups establishing or asking control of communities in the US without self-government, rule of law, or strong civic institutions?

lol, this post makes me feel like crying at my job in BigTech co. He’s complaining about a 30 min feedback loop maybe, mine is 2+ hours.

I write a piece of code, however small the change. Then run the proc, first it takes ~20 mins to compile. Then since it is ML, it can only run on a remote server. It takes an easy 20 more minutes to start running in the remote server. Then after another 40 minutes I can confirm the job failed. The only way to debug is to read through a massive log file, for which we have an in built log reader lol. The log file will have thousands of errors that literally don’t matter, and you’ll never have enough context to know which errors don’t matter. You can simply ping someone and ask, does this error matter, could this be the reason my entire proc failed, oh no this is just a useless log that fails all the time, I shouldn’t have been wasting a day digging into this, ok thanks bye.

But this isn’t it, not even close lol, we in fact have a custom DSL to define computational graphs, which of course does not have any linter, or even any compiler and a very broken visualizer but our entire org runs on this. Syntax errors, logic errors, actual race conditions are all caught the exact same way —- as the process dying after trying to run on a remote server for 2+ hours with no useful error log. So our workflow is to just get a cup of coffee and stare at the graph which can get thousands and thousands of lines big to find at times completely trivial bugs that any half decent language would have caught as a syntax error.

My exp in BigTechCo makes me completely understand GitHub actions, my guess is many big companies have equally janky tools that harm dev productivity but still somehow take absolutely massive workloads. GitHub just thought of sharing it to the public.

But is he not orange and bad?

I think the problem might be that taking personal responsibility for one's own morality and beliefs is a burden that's too much, too scary, for many people.

It feels a lot safer and more comfortable to simply look around you and draw your morals from what everyone else is saying and doing.

There's something isolating about trying to be good.

The combination of Claude Code and models could be a moat of its own; they are able to use RL to make their agent better - tool descriptions, reasoning patterns, etc.

Are they doing it? No idea, it sounds ridiculously expensive; but they did buy Bun, maybe to facilitate integrating around CC. Cowork, as an example, uses CC almost as an infrastructure layer, and the Claude Agent SDK is basically LiteLLM for your Max subscription - also built on/wrapping the CC app. So who knows, the juice may be worth the RL squeeze if CC is going to be foundational to some enterprise strategy.

Also IMO OpenCode is not better, just different. I’m getting great results with CC, but if I want to use other models like GLM/Qwen (or the new Nvidia stuff) it’s my tool of choice. I am really surprised to see people cancelling their Max subscriptions; it looks performative and I suspect many are not being honest.

Many are aware, just can’t offload it onto their hardware.

The 8B models are easier to run on an RTX to compare it to local inference. What llama does on an RTX 5080 at 40t/s, Furiosa should do at 40,000t/s or whatever… it’s an easy way to have a flat comparison across all the different hardware llama.cpp runs on.

That’s not what I’m seeing.
They requested comments from the public about the product, only mentioning that the fact that they weren’t allowed to purchase more from Sparkfun [0]. Sparkfun then jumped into the discussion with accusations of a Code of Conduct violation, and only then did they respond publicly. Sparkfun made it public first in that 3rd party forum.

If we judge it by the lost decade after the 2000 tech bubble definitely not back to stocks.

A portfolio of things like gold, small cap value, long term treasuries did 10% a year while stocks did like 0% a year for a decade.

This situation has had me talking to others, what I have found was:

1. Hate groups and very sketchy sites are welcome to use CF.

2. One report resulted in a legit site being taken down and the phishing site being left up. (maybe report had fields reversed) And the person has being trying for over a month to get resolved.

3. One person had someone steal their trademark and copy their site. They own the trademark and CF won't do anything with the reports.

4. One person had "some adult content" warning and that resulted in being misclassified as pornography and could not get it removed. (if that is all it takes why isn't reddit or amazon classified the same)

5. Then myself and a few others that have been flagged for bogus reasons. And can't get it reviewed.

These were all issues being talked about this week. So CF seems to be all over the place. The consistent part is that you can't get any support to resolve anything.

It’s only a matter of time until people start to wake up to the fact that gold’s 5 year return is almost double the US markets and the developed nation index has doubled the US market returns in the last year.

Capital has been FLEEING the US for some time now. Passive investments aren’t inflating a bubble. They’re providing exit liquidity to smart money.
by klodolph | 2026-01-15 02:11:02+00:00
Worth noting that articles about how passive investing destroys the market date back to, maybe, 2016 or earlier...

https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/is-passive-inves...

March 9, 2016

> O’Neill fears that the result will be a “bubble machine”—a winner-take-all system that inflates already large companies, blind to whether they’re actually selling more widgets or generating bigger profits.

Part of the problem is that if you look at the stellar long-term performance of indexes, they are largely explained by a small number of stocks in the index that perform extremely well… but you don’t know ahead of time which stocks those are. If you want the performance of the S&P500, you need a similarly diversified portfolio, the theory goes. It is hard to get a portfolio with that kind of diversity unless you buy index funds.

Let’s say have a folder of tarballs and need to install the latest version. I could reach for an additional “dedicated” tool, get it installed into the CI environment and then incorporate it into the build process, or I could just make a slight modification to my existing shell script and do something like “ls mypkg-.tar.gz | xargs -n1 | sort -Vr | head -n1” and then move on. But then we start publishing multiple release candidates and now I need to add to that logic to further distinguish between earlier and later rc versions. And so on and so forth…

Now I’m in agreement with you that this is a bad fit for shell scripting, but it is often pragmatic and expedient. And bc there is a cliff between bash and (say) python, some of the time, you’re going to choose the path of least resistance.

Now scale this out to a small team of engineers all facing the same dumb decision of needing to make some tradeoff when they would much rather be writing application logic. The lack of a ubiquitous and robust intermediate language leads to brittle CI fraught with security vulnerabilities.

While the example I provided is a bit contrived, this behavior isn’t hypothetical. I see it everywhere I’ve worked.

Really I would love to know how parse context sensitive stuff like typedef which will have "switched" syntax for some tokens. Would like to know things like "hoisting" in C++, where you can you the class and struct after the code inside the function too, but I just find it hard to describe them in rigorous formal language and grammar.

Hacky solution for PEG such as adding a context stack requires careful management of the entry/exit point, but the more fundamental problem is that you still can't "switch" syntax, or you have to add all possible syntax combination depending on the numbers of such stacks. I believe persistent data structure and transactional data structure would help but I just couldn't find a formalism for that.

Agree. Products and services in the privacy space have a tendency to be incredibly misleading in their phrasing, framing, and overall marketing as to the nature of their assertions that sound pretty much like: "we totally can never ever see your messages, completely and utterly impossible". Proton is particularly bad for this, it's rather unfortunate to see this from "Moxie" as well.

It's like, come on you know exactly what you're doing, it's unambiguous how people will interpret this, so just stop it. Cue everyone arguing over the minutiae while hardly anyone points out how troubling it is that these people/entities have no concerns with being so misleading/dishonest...
