Nobody "made" me do anything.

Sure you do, I did. True, not everyone has such a choice, but I volunteered for the organization I wanted to work for and then I volunteered for multiple deployments I didn't have to go on. Many of us have that choice and make that ch

You are absolutely fucking full of shit. I chose to "go into war zones" many times and none of it was to "enjoy killing people".

It's already being mixed, albeit not very competently.

I think some things telegraph competence and some the opposite -- and our experiences over the years tend to shape what we see that way.

C isn't the problem here. one might argue that the combination of micro python and C and the person writing it having no understanding of how either one works is the problem. Also running python on a microcontroller to do cryptography

I've used open code extensively -- it's not bad, but it's not anywhere near the level of the codex application.

I run local models on my M1 Max. there are a number of them that are quite useful.

Preach. Golang is the best language there is for most workflows that aren't bare metal embedded or have real time requirements, and this is coming from a 20 year+ C++ dev.

Local models won't generally have as much context window, and the quantization process does make them "dumber" for lack of a better word. If you try to get them to compose text, you'll end up seeing a lot less variety th

I have an M1 Max w/ 64gb that cost me much less than that -- you don't have to buy the latest model brand new.

I can definitely write code with a local model like Devstral small or a quantized granite, or a quantized deep-seek on an M1 Max w/ 64gb of ram.

by jki275 9mo ago
64gb is fine.

by jki275 9mo ago
I bought my M1 Max w/ 64gb of ram used. It's not that expensive. Yes, the models it can run do not perform like chatgpt or claude 4.5, but they're still very useful.

Bongino was a secret service agent..

There are literally hundreds of thousands of TS/SCI cleared government employees and contractors. There is nothing "exceptionally difficult" about any of this.

polygraphs are junk science. I don't know who the other two are, but Bongino was already polygraphed and cleared for the Secret Service -- there's no reason to pretend that he wasn't cleared for the job. This article reads l

Completely agree, it's a waste to make a laptop screen touchable. If there is really a touch "screen" requirement, I would put a screen under the trackpad -- that would be more useful for me at least. I think somebody tried

Oh I'm sure he read about it somewhere. But the book is simply fiction. Most of the story as Luttrell tells it to this day is false, but the book is even worse. The link I posted earlier tells the real story.

As an American, he's exactly right and it's not flamebait at all. Hell he's probably American too.

Luttrell didn't have anything to do with it. The writer is a British fiction writer. He did a one hour interview with Lutrell, that's the entire involvement Luttrell had with it.

Why would I need to refute patently obvious made up bullshit.

I am a 20+ year military veteran with multiple deployments. I don’t need to parade my “family members serving under America’s flag” for internet karma. Anduril’s technology is saving lives right now all over the world.

Comp is 2-3x any other defense company. Mission driven is very important. Significant former military representation. Anything DOD related is going to have need to know baked in due to DOD requirements. I’m not sure what your issue is with

This is a ridiculous set of assertions that is utterly without foundation.
