I could say the same to you. Rest assured, your echo-chamber is a minority. (Omarchy's popularity is proof of that)

Merging tech and politics like this is insufferable, and most of us are tired of it. Omacom foundation is funding good open source dev work. I see nothing wrong with that, and their response was perfectly reasonable. If you think you can do

This wasn't a codebase I originally wrote or cared to reason about deeply. It's fairly straight-forward rust, so not hard to understand or follow. Again, this was originally just a test to see how well it would work (better than I

Small related anecdote: Was just testing latest gen LLM capabilities, and decided to give it goal of rewriting a small opensource project in Rust. (Should be noted: was not some tiny library, but an actually useful network service). It comp

Like calculators do math for you? It’s a tool like any other. If that’s how they use it, those students weren’t doing much thinking before either.

I have and, Microsoft aside, it all works great. Don't need search engines anymore, AI does all my research now and produces better information anyway.

Really don't understand this sentiment. Whatever you imagine you can now build; whatever you wish to learn you can learn; all for virtually nothing. How does that make life worse? I think pessimism clouds your judgment and AI is the sc

It's made my life way better. I love it, it's incredible boost on my ability to learn and produce. Don't know anyone who's life was made worse by it, and I strongly doubt you do either. Remember when people said open-sou

Compared to what? All the comments seem to agree, but I curious if people here have actually used Grok. I rotate between major models frequently. Grok has been up there in accuracy and research for some time, trading places with Gemini IMO.

Rust on embedded is fun to play with. Few years ago I made a custom RGB LED rope light controller using ESP32 C3 DevKit and Rust embedded, connecting light to homeassistant via MQTT auto discovery. Was surprisingly easy to get started as so

Perhaps related? My main fiber WAN went out few hrs ago, failing over to Starlink backup. Discovered it’s a cloudflare issue, as my multi-wan setup tests against 1.1.1.1, which suddenly stopped responding (but only from my fiber ISP). Switc

Steam machine so close to perfect, but 1x USBC and 1GB Ethernet are huge misses for a 2026 device. Also needs more VRAM. May be better to just do custom SFF build.

Unsecured government loan to a successful company to fund acceleration and growth is a "handout". A "bailout" is what happened in 2009, in the sense the banks would literally have collapsed without it (and they probably

I'm confused about language, as "loans" to me do not equal "bailout". The equating of the two seems odd, as many government incentives use loans that pay back with high interest, so governments MAKE money on those k

grok-code-fast-1 is my current pick, found accuracy and speed better than Sonnet 4.5 for day-to-day usage.

I would expect AI to influence slang in future generations. Would be more surprising if it didn't.

Wasn’t sure if a random TestFlight link would be safe/wise to share, so shared original source.

FYI on X there is a TestFlight link to try it: https://x.com/jack/status/1941989435962212728 Surprised to see Jack pushing code himself. Love to see it.

How can Tesla advertise a “more accurate” number if they are required by regulation to use EPA estimate? EPA range estimates being inaccurate is a real problem. They do not, and are not designed to, give actual expected range. It’s meant to

We clearly have very different definitions of corruption. Actual aeronautics engineers with hands-on expertise offering advice on how to modernize air safety systems does not fall within my definition of corruption.

Noticed this also. It doesn’t feel organic.

You seem to be assuming that the full cost of the cluster is recouped by Grok 3. The real value will be in grok 5, 6, etc… xAI also announced a few days ago they are starting an internal video game studio. How long before AI companies take

1- The conspiracy is that blocking signal links is some top down dictation from Elon as part of geopolitical power play over censoring dissenting opinions about DOGE. This is some next level mental gymnastics. There may be good reasons to t

Do all these commenters believe this nonsense? The conspiracy thinking has reached new peaks. Hard to take concerns of free speech seriously from people promoting platforms that routinely “moderate” any dissenting opinions (HN included). Ou

Did these digital modernization efforts result in lower agency head count, or did they instead use it as excuse to ask for higher budgets?

Real modernization of systems would result in efficiencies that allow for reduction in staff. Tech exists to be a lever on productivity. This almost never happens; historically bureaucratic modernization efforts only proceed if absolutely n

This feels like hyperbole. Nobody is arguing to destroy the village, the federal government is not going to disappear due to 20% spending reduction. Reducing spending from ~$6T/year to ~$4T/year is not the end of government, which

Calling it a cyberattack is hyperbole. Lost objectivity points from the outset.
