Eh, Russia is under attack by Ukraine?

In which universe is that? From mainland Europe, I have a different perspective who started to fight?


Don't discount the importance of cheap Chinese (mostly coal) electricity.

Which countries? Negative submissions about China and Russia get flagged near-instantly. Frequently also about the USA. People don't like a topic - they flag it.

there's still a long road to commercial applications but today's hardware is simulating quantum systems beyond the scale of classical methods, for example [1]; an interesting line of work opposite to this can be found in those who improve classical methods towards such examples [2], but these are only developed because of the existing quantum hardware

Really though, today's IBM hardware is good fun to play with, eg for generating moderately large GHZ states

Unless you’re trying to make a reference to the Gemini programme. No.


Right, especially 8 and 10 year old that are Hamas operatives. Get a grip on reality and realise that killing that many people is not the right approach to the situation and is an unnecessary loss of life. wtf dude.

If enough people [vouch] then it gets deflagged

Back in the dark ages of high school, our chess coach specialized in this. We would study openings and strategy. Then he would come up with totally off-the-eall moves. And win, of course, because we had no clue how to respond.

The daemon + mobile client approach is interesting. I've been thinking about the same problem from the other side, starting with messaging apps as the client instead of building a native app. Question about the E2EE relay: when you're away from home and connecting from mobile, how does it handle reconnection after network drops? Like if you're on a train and lose signal for a minute, does the session state stay intact or do you need to reconnect manually? Also curious about the agent wrapping. You mention it runs CLIs exactly as you would in the terminal. Does that mean you're parsing stdout for tool calls and permission requests, or is there a structured protocol underneath?

This is an insanely useful work!! What is the fastest way a research lab in that domain can start contributing?

I'm not sure most people are that naïve that they can't differentiate between "any computer that acts smartly" (how the term "AI" is used) and the word chatbot. Of course, LLM is even more precise

In my experience, Snap is frustrating to use, buggy and is opinionated in ways I don't like.

It's also a weird choice for servers running Ubuntu. I recall some CLI utilities being moved to Snap and you can't install them with apt anymore.


Why did this get flagged?

yeah, sorry

That seems like a very expensive way to crawl the internet

It doesn't take extreme memory on your part to remember to avoid that opening after the first 9 losses, or indeed the first one. There are 5-10 other reasonable options for you on the first move alone.

It doesn't take extreme memory on your friend's part either if you keep falling for the same trick. It would take extreme memory for him to have something prepared against every plausible option you could choose.


> breaking capitalism

It seems non sequitur. This hypothetical scenario sounds like entrenching capitalism, because it would concentrate capital even more.

It would probably weaken democracy and weaken free market (esp. the job market), yes.

> society will collapse before then because of said breaking of capitalism itself

Or, maybe the society would continue to exist with even more inequality? And, of course, much changed from what it is today.


It is true though.

We have a cursor subscription and work and i now see many non-technical people building their own internal tooling. People that had essentially never written a line of code before this new revolution.

The cost of building software has really drastically decreased.


Just for fun. I asked Claude to build an online rater using the rubrics https://yujqiao.github.io/bs-index/

I wrote Clojure for about five years. Left when I changed jobs, not because I wanted to. It's genuinely one of the most productive languages I've used, and I still miss the REPL-driven workflow.

One thing I built: defun https://github.com/killme2008/defun -- a macro for defining Clojure functions with pattern matching, Elixir-style. Still probably my favorite thing I've open sourced.

I apologize for failing to patronize your intelligence so you wouldn't read in my message what I didn't write.

A regurgitation of the zeitgeist can be a useful sample of the zeitgeist, leading to insights perhaps completely different of anything the author might have meant to convey; accounts coming out of nowhere to criticize or defend it may be a random occurrence, but also indicative of something special — by which I do not mean quality or uniqueness — about or within a piece to override a default stance of ignoring related output — something I do whenever Altman et caterva open their mouths, for example, and would have done about the piece we're discussing, for the very reason you pointed out, if not for the reactions, including your own, which came across as emotional, an impression now corroborated by your reply — and perusing a text of the Gawker-level quality your contribution implied hers would be is too easily and quickly done that it becomes, at its worse outcome (no value accrued), just as valuable as your own, implied, approach, but with a chance to provide some value — here, now, thanks to you, for example, I've learned a little more about Hacker News.

In short, I couldn't care less about Spiers, she can take a one-way trip to Mars with Bezzos for all I care, but I do care about reactions such as yours – and whatever it is that triggered about my reply, you put it there yourself.


Randall Munroe of xkcd? I like his work but I'm not sure I'd call him a philosopher...

The tool system breakdown is useful. I've been running Claude Code daily for a few months and some things in there explain behaviors I noticed but couldn't figure out. Like why sometimes it re-reads files it already read 30 seconds ago. Makes more sense now seeing how the context window management works internally, it's being more conservative about what it assumes is still accurate. The permission gate flow is the part I care about most. When I'm away from my machine and the agent hits a permission prompt, that's where my workflow falls apart. Knowing how it structures those requests internally is helpful for anyone building tooling around it. One thing the guide doesn't cover much is how sessions are meant to be resumed. The checkpoint system is interesting but in practice I find session resume pretty fragile once you go past a certain context length.

White text on a mostly white background is not really a good choice, especially if you want to communicate something important.

Kinda unrelated, but are any good sources for deaths in that whole conflict before the 7th October, including other areas? Throwing around that number does have some impact, but does not tell the whole picture and is often dismissed as being "just" a reaction to the attack on 7th October.
