Re:Suicide rates highest ever among middle-aged men on Friday October 16, 2026 @01:07AM (#50114315)
There is a study about the happiness curve that also talks about this, about in most countries happiness does decline in middle age but begins to recover around after 50 years old :-p.

don't most developers do this already? Senior developers. Juniors are having a hard time.
The model becomes uniquely yours, no KV stashing, no MD files, no trickery.... just live learning.

Unload the model, move it to another machine, and it still knows what you told it. Could this be the start of recursive self improvement for local AI?

No one has mentioned Ishmael from Daniel Quinn, where they theorize how modern culture is a cult (has it's own mythology) ingrained to hate or antagonize indigenous cultures, and how even our founding stories (Adam and Eve) are probably adapted from earlier stories from indigenous peoples.

> Once people depend on an application, the cost of its failure has little to do with how much it cost to build. An application that costs $1,000 to build can still cause a $10 million failure.

Exactly. If he means successful instead, then we can have different definitions of successful. That being said, I don't think most startup founders have the same definition of successful as that meets: dad that wants to be there for their children.

and you could say the same if not better from C#. But those are now becoming niche languages and ecosystems. One for people around microsoft, azure, etc. The other around oracle solutions. There are still pretty interesting projects around it any of them, but they seem to be losing mindshare against other languages.

https://jsfiddle.net/ used to be also very popular, I see that it is still available, but haven't used it in a while.

Which other alternatives do people use now days?

If you wrote it on your company's slack space, it is not really private to the company. Everytime I have a "private" conversation in Slack I have the understanding that the information could be shared. Even now there is a share button not for the whole conversation but yes for individual messages

They say that they have too much demand so are stopping new subscriptions while they scale up: https://x.com/Kimi_Moonshot/status/2078855608565207130

> Over the past 48 hours, demand has pushed close to the limits of our current capacity. To protect the experience of existing subscribers, we're temporarily pausing new subscriptions and prioritizing compute for current members. Existing subscribed users are not affected.

> We're adding capacity as fast as we can and will reopen new subscription spots in batches.

Odd that AWS Bedrock has very poor support for such models. They only have Kimi 2.5, qwen 3 coder, DeepSeek V3.2, GLM 5. So none of the newer models.
Re:Magnifica Humanitas (Encyclical Letter) on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @10:33AM (#48280419)
Nice answer! And thinking about it, isn't the telephone and maybe also the internet in the same category. In México the telephone company was first a public company and then a private one that made our biggest billionare (Carlos Slim), so maybe not so much here :-p, but you can argue that both have been a net benefit for the whole world.

Re:You Don't Align an AI, You Align with It on Thursday May 14, 2026 @03:18PM (#48139945)
Hearing about aligning with the AI reminds me of this other post about the current prophecies about AI: “Everyone will have an AI assistant,” or “Companies that fail to adopt AI will be eliminated.” and that

We need better prophecies.

Most likely, because it is less money :-p. But also because it is less known and harder, as you already mentioned. Personally, I'm based in Mexico, and I would never have thought about trying to get nonprofit funding for a community project, nor would I know where to start to get that.
