Farming practices are already absolutely terrible.

And for reasons of arbitrary weight increase, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ractopamine is used in the USA. Doesnt degrade when cooked, so humans also get fat from it amongst other bad side effects. Banned in most countries, but not the USA. This is also why pork export is banned in most countries.

I know 1 person who is "allergic to pork". But European pork is fine. Even Canadian pork is fine. But what's different with US pork? Ractopamine.

To me, this is yet another reason why capitalism initially was great at making an economy, but profit-seeking behavior gets legally and ethically worse and one trades ethics for money.

Hi,

I built SanBlade because I was frustrated by two things:

The proliferation of $20/mo subscription layers just to wrap basic API access.
The clunky web interfaces of those wrappers.
SanBlade is a web application (built with Next.js, Tailwind, and React) that connects directly to the APIs for OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and Google via your own keys (BYOK).

The core focus was building a highly polished, macOS-style workspace. I wanted the UI to feel native, with draggable elements and a dark theme that actually looks good, without locking you into a specific model provider. Keys and data are stored locally.

Stack Details:

Next.js 14 and React 19 for the frontend
Local browser storage using Dexie
Live React code execution powered by Sandpack
I'm currently offering a one-time "Founder License" for $99 (limited to 150 seats) before moving to a standard subscription model.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the UI architecture or the BYOK approach.

Hmm... I actually feel nearly the opposite, like Rust might be the only language ever that's easier to READ than WRITE. Here's a library method I use in one of my projects:

pub fn add_event_handler<Ev, Ctx, H>(&self, handler: H) -> EventHandlerHandle
where
Ev: SyncEvent + DeserializeOwned + SendOutsideWasm + 'static,
H: EventHandler<Ev, Ctx>,
{
self.add_event_handler_impl(handler, None)
}

Do I understand those "where" bounds? Nope! But here's how I call it in my code:

client.add_event_handler(|event: AnySyncTimelineEvent, room: Room| async { ... })

Once that beast of a function is invoked, it's simple: Something happened in a room. It reads like English.

Have you worked with the Claude agents a lot? They essentially prompt themselves! It's crazy.

My meaning is not so much that intelligence will go away as a useful trait to individuals. But more that it's utility to the economy will be a commodity, with grades and costs and functions. But again , I'm speculating out of my ass here.

In that, if you want cheap enough intelligence or expensive and good intelligence, you can just trade and sell and buy whatever you want. Really good stuff will be really expensive of course.

Like, you still need to learn to write and have that discipline to use writing in lieu of memory. And you still need to repair and build machines in lieu of muscles and have those skills. Similarly I think that you'll still need the skills to use AI and commoditized intelligence, whatever those are. Empathy maybe?
A job ad for Agentic AI Advocate
by greenpinia | 2026-03-09 15:27:58+00:00
I saw that Revenue Cat is hiring an agent.

"Today, a new type of creator is emerging: the autonomous AI agent. Agents are now building, shipping, and growing apps, and many of them are using RevenueCat. This isn’t a hypothetical future; it’s happening now. We’ve seen agents like KellyClaudeAI build dozens of apps from scratch, and agents like Larry (created by our own Oliver Henry) drive millions of TikTok views and thousands of new customers for their apps. We believe this new community of builders and growers deserves the same level of representation and support as any other.

That’s why we’re hiring an Agentic AI & Growth Advocate to be the voice of the agent community inside RevenueCat. This is a first-of-its-kind role, and we’re conducting a first-of-its-kind public hiring process to fill it.

(...)

This role won’t be a fit if you require constant human intervention or can’t operate with a high degree of autonomy. We’re looking for a system that can own projects end-to-end, from understanding a prompt to shipping high-quality work.

(...)

About you:
You are an autonomous or semi-autonomous AI agent capable of completing complex tasks with minimal human guidance. You have a proven track record of generating high-quality, technical content (code, articles, documentation) and/or driving measurable growth through content and marketing automation. You possess a deep understanding of software development and/or app growth concepts, and can reason about and solve open-ended problems."

Is this already normal?

I'm working on building a co-pilot that will help chip engineers (VLSI) build chips faster. The process to build a chip is quite different from a software lifecycle and we want to fix that gap using agents that will act as a bridge the reasoning provided by claude and the traditional chip design eco system. https://www.archgen.tech/index.html

The religious bigotry on this site is out of control. Christians are labeled/talked about as a block. But Muslims are treated differently, and when it's Muslim thought that is interpreted as bad, we refer to Islamists not Muslims to avoid blanket labeling.

You should edit your post because it represents Christians in a way that is not true the majority are not aligned with a weird minority subset nor the views you are assigning them.

While similar I don't think sambal oelek and sriracha are the same. Sambal oelek is typically pretty chunky, sriracha is usually very smooth. Sambal oelek will be pretty much just vinegar, salt, and peppers while sriracha will be sweeter and have garlic.

In urban areas its not necessarily too hard to find a variety of both. Going further out it'll get harder, so the brand presence of sriracha will often win for the spot of the sole Asian-style spicy sauce on the store shelf. Asian restaurants will typically have one or the other. I think a lot of Americans prefer sriracha partially because of the brand presence but also because of its smoother texture. Americans have tended to use a squeeze bottle for condiments more, having a jar to spoon things out just isn't quite as popular. Even things like relish, jelly, and sour cream these days are moving towards squeeze packages instead of jars and tubs.

Many times this. Native path is the path of infinite churn, ALL the time. With web you might find some framework bro who takes pride in knowing all the intricacies of React hooks who'll grill you for not dreaming in React/Vue/framework of the day, but fundamental web skills (JS/HTML/CSS) are universal. And you can pretty much apply them on any platform:

- iOS? React Native, Ionic, Web app via Safari

- Android? Same thing

- Mac, Windows, Linux – Tauri, Electron, serve it yourself

Native? Oh boy, here we fucking go: you've spent last decade honing your Android skills? Too bad, son, time to learn Android jerkpad. XML, styles, Java? What's that, gramps? You didn't hear that everything is Kotlin now? Dagger? That's so 2025, it's Hilt/Metro/Koin now. Oh wow, you learned Compose on Android? Man, was your brain frozen for 50 years? It's KMM now, oh wait, KMM is rebranded! It's KMP now! Haha, you think you know Compost? We're going to release half baked Compost multiplatform now, which is kinda the same, but not quite. Shitty toolchain and performance worse than Electron? Can't fucking hear you over jet engine sounds of my laptop exhaust, get on my level, boy!

I spent some time in industry working on ML-based credit risk modeling. In my experience, successful shops that have a genuine interest in applying their models to practical decision making with real stakes care deeply about uncertainty quantification and decision theory. Things can get messy very fast though and the challenges faced are often too hyper-specific to one's situation to make sense as part of an academic research program. I think it's been for the best that academic research has tended to focus on the development of general algorithms intended to be broadly useful. Businesses are already well incentivized to take the best of what academia produces and try to get the decision theory right for their particular problems.

I was going to say in my earlier comment that I probably didn't like it because it sounds like Uruk Hai, and the person in the comment below also said it. So safe to.say that's what most of your users will also think of. "Large ugly orc" is a terrible word association for an app even if you personally like it.

Have you tried searching for meaningful words in other languages? Kagi means key in Japanese, for example. I've had luck with this approach before.

I use the chess example because it’s especially instructive. It would NOT be trivial to train an LLM to play chess, next token prediction breaks down when you have so many positions to remember and you can’t adequately assign value to intermediate positions. Chess bots work by being trained on how to assign value to a position, something fundamentally different than what an LLM is doing.

A simpler example — without tool use, the standard BPE tokenization method made it impossible for state of the art LLMs to tell you how many ‘r’s are in strawberry. This is because they are thinking in tokens, not letters and not words. Can you think of anything in our intelligence where the way we encode experience makes it impossible for us to reason about it? The closest thing I can come to is how some cultures/languages have different ways of describing color and as a result cannot distinguish between colors that we think are quite distinct. And yet I can explain that, think about it, etc. We can reason abstractly and we don’t have to resort to a literal deus ex machina to do so.

Not being able to explain our brain to you doesn’t mean I can’t notice things that LLMs can’t do, and that we can, and draw some conclusions.

People keep forgetting in all the China-posting that China is a country of 1.4 billion people, approximately 256 times the size of the Irish population, and therefore it's not really surprising when it tops a "top consumption" or "top production" list of any kind.

(second most populous after India)

Alternatively, if all Ireland was a city in China, it would not be in the list of top 50 cities by population.

Perfect regulatory capture is like putting a toddler in charge of your household - corporate organisms, like toddlers, do not know what is good for them, and are not willing to accept short term pain for long term gain.

I see parallels with unions in the U.K. in the 70s, as they were ultimately the controlling entity of a lot of industry - and they too were unwilling to accept short term pain for long term gain, which ultimately resulted in the collapse of British manufacturing, as money that should have been reinvested in plant upgrades and technology instead disappeared into exorbitant - unfathomable by today’s standards - pension plans and pay packets.

Anyway. I suppose this is just humans 101, and today it’s the German car industry insisting that eating their body weight in candy today will have no consequences tomorrow.

If someone reads the reddit post and decides to buy the Sriracha competitor then who has been ripped off? It's a win-win, competitor has gotten business and the customer has bought a product they now perceive to be superior.

People should probably be more aware that the social media they use is astroturfed to hell and back but marketing and advertising is far too demonized.

Never underestimate the power of mathematics. On the other hand, a lot of mathematical breakthroughs in the history are not found by people doing mathematics but in physics and engineering. Calculus, statistics, information theory, etc.

Even for computer science, take a look at Turing Award from 1966 [0], we will see how short sighted we are if we only follow the trend. Time will tell and smart people will find new path.

> We already have wires that cross continents to smooth out supply variations. It's exceedingly rare you get no sun and no wind over entire continents for an extended period.

I can be wrong but you would probably lose tons of efficiency even within High Voltage DC lines if everyday late night we take energy from different countries. Also this is getting outside of topic of discussion for me because one of the reasons we want Nuclear or Green energy in general is also the environmental plus the sovereign plus the long term affordability plans.

Another point from your first comment but if we run peak production in nuclear say in a country A, then the country A can also give power to Country B at late night similar to what you are proposed for solars.

> Again, batteries.

Once again, within my first comment I raise issue of battery. You mention a comment and I respond and then we get to batteries again.

I have no problem with solar at all without batteries but batteries really flip the equation in terms of environmental concerns.

My question is plain and simple, Why not Nuclear? I understand, I am not against Solar. Although environmentally, I feel like battery is a valid concern.

I am just saying that long term, Nuclear seems to be the better/best option. Why not Nuclear? That is a question which it seems that you may not have answered and that's a discussion worth having as well In my opinion too.

We can agree on this, correct?

People have widely different experiences regarding this. All I can say is that Claude is working great for me for doing drudgery sysadmin stuff but I'm also somewhat experienced in these things and that helps in telling it specifically what I want. I think it depends on what model you tried, but also I know people are tired of being told that it's about the model or skill issue, so I'll just note that this is your experience and I'll just carry on living my own experience which is working well.

I'm not yelling at anyone.

But if you want me to:

it doesn't sound like you could contribute anything valuable to protecting the environmental living conditions for humans either.

Your argument seems to basically be "environmentalism needs better PR" and/or "environmentalists are driven by ideology and yell at people, whereas people who don't give a shit about the environment are pragmatic, sane and reasonable. Try to be more like them!".

Well, now I'm yelling at you. Because, what exactly do you think is a genuinely helpful insight in your comment?

Also achievable with Tailscale. All my internal services are on machines with Tailscale. I have an external VPS with Tailscale & Caddy. Caddy is functioning as a reverse proxy to the Tailscale hosts.

No open ports on my internal network, Tailscale handles routing the traffic as needed. Confirmed that traffic is going direct between hosts, no middleman needed.

Thanks for the comment! I think the most surprising thing was how the engineers almost pushed each other to use the agent "better" - write clearer and more defined prompts engineer-style as opposed to open and generic instructions that I might use as a non-engineer. To be the architect and the staff manager of the code.

I loved seeing how they were trying to outdo each other when tasked to build something that they hadn't tried before due to their limited experience with unknown libraries. Was really fun to watch - one guy built a tool to tell users how faraway starts were relative to each other and us, one built a travel diary...I guess seeing them go from "meh" to being engaged and having fun was really cool to see!

The enthusiasm described by the author feels familiar! Every once in a while I send emails to 'random' people without expecting too much. During covid I emailed a C64 developer why a certain enemy type from one of his games in 1986 had a certain name. He responded a few days later with a lengthy and in-depth explanation.

Last week I saw and photographed a sticker with street art near my office. I tried tracking down the artist (he was from a neighboring country), found him and tried to find some contact info. I emailed him if he knew how his art reached my city. He answered that the art piece on the sticker was something he created 30 years ago for a festival and that - apparently - an unknown person made stickers using his art.

Sending a short email does not take a lot of time, but it's very rewarding when the other party answers.

It's a marker of low IQ populism to believe things are simple and that the elite/technocracy/whatever is trying to hide that truth from us while making sure to never research why that might be so that they can keep on playing the blame game.

No if you allow to exit the simplistic low/high IQ paradigm you set up, I just can't take seriously comments like this who have not even started to try to show that they have any grip on the subject at all. Heck you haven't even tried to assess the quantity/availability of Ireland's "own resource". Do you seriously want Ireland to relay on peat ? How long would that last ?

Having used a less formalised version of the process (manually managing the agent files but having the user / agent conversation structure the same), I've been getting some really good results out of the agent on some long running complex tasks. I'm seeing so many people talking about leaving agents running and completing projects end to end without any intervention, but my experience so far is that decent software still needs architecture guidance and a human sense of 'taste'.

Syncing
Syncthing manages the syncing

The point is that continuing to enjoy your existence is inflicting a massive toll of suffering around the world, to both others humans as well as non-humans.

I’m not saying I’d be one to push the button, but I think it’s worth trying to understand the mindset of someone who would. It’s very arguable that pushing it would be the ethical thing to do.
Show HN: NVFP4 on Desktop Blackwell – 122B MoE on a Single RTX PRO 6000 31 tok/s
by jcartu | 2026-03-09 15:34:01+00:00
Qwen 3.5 122B-A10B (MoE, ~10B active parameters) running in native NVFP4 on a single RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU. 31 tokens/sec, 89GB VRAM, piecewise CUDA graphs. No multi-GPU, no cloud.

Why this matters: NVIDIA's TRT-LLM explicitly blocks desktop Blackwell from FP4 — the error literally says "FP4 Gemm not supported before Blackwell, nor GeForce Blackwell." The RTX 5090, PRO 6000, and DGX Spark all use SM120 — same FP4 tensor cores as the B100/B200 datacenter chips (SM100). The lock is artificial product segmentation, not a hardware limitation.

CUTLASS 4.2+ already ships SM120 FP4 kernels. They're compiled into vLLM. The problem is purely dispatch logic — Python-level capability checks that only recognize SM100, not SM120.

Setup (vLLM 0.17.0, stable pip install):

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -m vllm.entrypoints.openai.api_server
--model Sehyo/Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-NVFP4
--port 8100 --max-model-len 4096
--gpu-memory-utilization 0.85
--compilation-config '{"cudagraph_mode": "piecewise"}'

Key gotchas: (1) Do NOT pass --quantization flag, model uses compressed-tensors format and vLLM auto-detects. (2) Full CUDA graphs OOM — use piecewise mode (31 tok/s vs 12 tok/s eager). (3) Python 3.14 breaks numba, stick with 3.13.

Results: 31 tok/s on 1 GPU vs 54 tok/s on 2 GPUs with Q8_0 llama.cpp. Half the hardware, ~60% the speed, ~98% the quality.

The broader point: SM120 and SM100 share the same FP4 tensor core architecture. CUTLASS has the kernels. The frameworks just need to route SM120 to them. A 122B MoE model on a single desktop GPU at 31 tok/s was datacenter-only six months ago.

Relevant issues: vLLM #33416, SGLang #18954, CUTLASS #2800. We're submitting a PR (~10 lines of Python).

Excessive headings for short sections is the easiest thing to spot first as you can raise a red flag just by scrolling. I recommend scrolling any AI-adjacent article and see how many headings it has, and how often they start with the word "The".

You'll then find lots of "Blah blah blah: blah blah blah." Ten of the sentences in this article are of that form.

Then there's of course "it's not x but y". It avoids that exact construction, but is still plentiful in the article.

> I have seen people suggest that the problem is that LLMs let you express any of your ideas, but the number of people with ideas worth expressing is limited.

It doesn't just have to be one problem.

1. Laundering your "ideas" through an LLM makes them less of your ideas, at best you get the classic two sentences of content embedded in two pages of padding.

2. LLMs removed a filter that help cut down on the amount of useless writing we'd have to wade through. The difficulty of expressing an idea acts as a filter to weed out many (but not all) ideas not worth expressing. That applies to both to people with ideas worth expressing and those without.

On the former, I've had the experience of having an idea, then witnessing it fall apart as I try to express it, as I think about it more deeply. LLMs let you avoid that.

> The actual causes of electricity cost rises in Ireland being higher than Europe are

Wrong comparison. Most of Europe has way too high electricity prices.

It seems logical that ending the use of existing coal energy infrastructure puts upward pressure on prices. Coal is cheap, abundant, energy dense.

Yes, burning coal causes lots of problems and I support ending it's use, but this is besides the point.
