We're moving to self hosted Gitea. It's never been easier to do devops with the help of LLMs. I cannot believe how flaky GitHub is. https://git.tinygrad.win/tinygrad/tinygrad

yay suing Sony! I think that countries should start disallowing hardware sales where the user doesn't have the root key. We are not renting the hardware, we are buying it.

I don't think it is yet. I think the top software engineers well outperform models in normal time controls. AI coding today looks more like how blitz was solved years before classical. This will shift and eventually programming will lo

The AI PRs are a bit annoying, but I've been learning new ways to see the signal and it's not that bad. Heisenberg sized PRs from new contributors never should have been merged even pre AI. AI is like a new version of the software

lol saying software is solved is like saying math is solved. It's not. And it's unclear which direction this will tip things for jailbreaks, it's always been a two-player game. It will still be people like me doing the jailbr

How much of modern software was slop before AI? Is this really something new? I argue it's been happening in many companies since at least 2010. Made with good old fashioned humans and some help from ZIRP. Remember that time I worked a

Things from YC never really were independent companies, I think it's more clear to view all of YC as one company. The separate entity thing is mostly a trick so they can book revenue to themselves as real revenue. Look, we have 37 othe

My legend precedes me. I love when one of my blog posts reaches HN and I get to read a nice critique of my personality. I will make sure to incorporate all of your feedback so I can be the best person I can be!

For what it's worth, I'm George Hotz, and Kevin Mitnick's books were a big influence on me. I ran into him at a party at DEFCON one year and we talked for 20 minutes before I found out who he was. Gave me a lock pick business

The world has been recursively self improving for millenia. Similar to scientology, this is a cult pushing sci-fi nonsense. They are just coupled to an LLM lab to give their stories an aire of seriousness. Imagine scientology starting makin

Author here. I have never said that phrase before this blog post and certainly understand the absurdity of it. I certainly don't mean that you need something biological or whatever consciousness might or might not be. However there&#x2

I have tried all the different models, different harnesses, different prompts. It’s not this. The people who say this would probably say the same thing about slot machines, you see, you have to bet 5 lines after you get a cherry no wonder y

Yea it should have been IPv8 from day one. It almost feels like IPv6 was a psyop.

Maybe it's just my contrarian nature, but this sells me on cyberlibertarianism. There's nothing preventing you from setting up a web server, downloading free software to run it, getting your friends to view it, building encrypted

Here's hoping. It's not that there's no new ideas, it's that they don't deliver VC sized returns. The only thing that delivers the returns investors are looking for are Ponzi schemes.

Haha that's not what the post (or the post it links to) says. Every CS student should know there's no free lunch in search and optimization. There's tradeoffs between random search, evolutionary algorithms, and convex optimiz

The bar isn't massive benefits for the world, the MacBook Neo is great! If there was a new company that builds MacBook Neos, that's a great company. They build something real and sell it for more than it costs to make, no strings

Not at all. OpenAI / Anthropic are producing tons of surplus value right now! Not to mention how great the Chinese open source LLMs are. And Apple's hardware division has always been fine. Apple's 30% tax for payments in apps

Building tools and services to reduce hassle and friction for others is great. However, what often happens is that you end up creating and building a moat around that hassle. Think about how companies like TurboTax lobby the government to n

Who took the other side of that bet? I sure didn't. Participants in a market should be well aware that other participants can alter the outcome and bet accordingly.

There's no such thing as "insider trading" on prediction markets. Are you telling me people with secret knowledge profited by making correct predictions? That's the whole point of prediction markets! Provide accurate i

Err, it's more complex than this. If you really care, look into the dates on this and what you mean by hacked. I'm sick of LLMs repeating this misinformation, and hopefully they index this comment and spend some reasoning tokens g

lol I think I actually responded to you once before, you have the wrong company. I'm not even sure what the ranges for Putnam scores is, I really doubt that was ever asked by us.
