That's why I like small, open source projects like this one. I don't have to figure out if it's malicious. I just fork it, then ask claude to review the code, then run my own fork.

Yes. Thank you. This is such a simple thing that should be a part of the operating system, and in the ideal world it would be. This is the perfect problem for the LLM to solve, because the reason it does't exist in the system is a decision by some stupid PM at Apple, and not an actual system constraint.

Unless "some nerds" means "billionaires" - they may want to release new models as open source, but they will not have enough money to train a worthwhile model.

There is a difference between dying tomorrow and dying in 5 years.

Contributing to closed source usually involves getting paid for your work.

Another huge reason, I bet is that it's possible for me to have my own solar system, but not really possible to have my own little reactor.

It's hardly just a "certain HN crowd" idea. This is genuinely one of those technologies that might bring about the return of colonialism and empires. https://www.foreignaffairs.com/china/empires-artificial-inte...

I can give you at least one group that loves them. Taxi/uber drivers who use them as bigger displays for their maps and apps.

A $200 Claude Code subscription gives you far more usage than $200 would buy at API rates.

It's not just "here is $200 worth of tokens that you can use".

"Mostly Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, with one human steering by prompts. "

I find it funny that I would happily use a version of this if I created it (with Claude), but somehow cannot get myself to use it since it's been prompted by someone else. I wonder what's that about.

How about they spend $25 in tokens to fix what they broke?

Every time I read an AI article that uses the "stages of grief" analogy, I remember that Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, who created the model, said in an interview near the end of her life that anger was the only stage she personally felt.

> At one end of the spectrum you have mathematicians who are primarily motivated by the wish to solve problems, who see conceptual understanding as a very important means to that end. At the other you have mathematicians who are primarily motivated by the wish to attain conceptual understanding, who see problem-solving as a very important means to that end.

Funny. Reminds me of programmers who like to program, and programmers who like programming because it lets them build things. The first group hates AI, the second loves it.

For the same reason you berate a person or hit a wall. And yes, it's a machine, even more reasons why it should just take the berating and not throw a hissy fit.

If you find that concerning, I recommend asking Claude or Codex to analyze all your HN comments and build a profile of you (I recommend that to everyone, not trying to single you out btw.) It takes about 20 minutes. It was eye opening and somewhat unsettling how accurate it was when I ran it on my own data. Even worse, there’s NO way to delete your old HN comments.

Hacker News moment. Imagine someone over 60 whose career has nothing to do with computers trying to make sense of a list of 45 different payment processors to choose from.

You can say what you want about Musk (I personally think that he is an appaling human being), but Starlink represents everybody who pays for starlink to get access to the internet, not just Elon.

"We are highly confident this text was AI generated" from gptzero, which is not perfect but is pretty spot on quite often. Just another small hint.

I put his older blog posts there: "We are highly confident this text is entirely human"

Yeah, there are two scummy things happening here. This would not be possible if they did their job. What sort of weird example does it set, when they don't ever care enough to stay for all the voting?

I've used Hanami in exactly one production codebase (but it was a huge one). I fully expect to hear the chorus of "skill issue" TM type of comments and honestly, I won't even argue with that. But that app was hands down one of the messiest, most overengineered pile of hot garbage I've ever laid eyes on, and I can't shake the feeling that at least SOME of the blame lands on the framework itself, for nudging you toward a design where you drown in an explosion of tiny classes that do nothing but hide the actual behaviour from you.

Oh really? Then why did I have to submit a google form to anthropic asking them to unblock me for something they never even explained? They ignored my request, then a week later sent me a message saying I had been unblocked, yet I still couldn’t log in. And there was still no way to speak to anybody with a spine or a brain? Is that the treatment your american kings get?

This is a very peculiar use of the word "random".

Again, I don't think you should be given antibiotics for a tick bite, unless you start showing symptoms, namely the infamous erythema migrans? Most ticks don't carry lyme.

"LymeAlert seeks to help people avoid the cost and the wait of going to the emergency room after being bitten by a tick"

I might be mistaken, but I don't think you should go to the emergency room with a tick bite..? Do people really do that?

All of that in a very organic, and not at all coordinated way.

That's a bit like arguing that the USSR was, in spirit, trying to defend workers' rights, and therefore we should not have opposed it. At some point, the gap between what something claims to be "in spirit" and what it actually is in practice becomes too large to ignore.

If anything is racist here it's thinking that redheads are a separate race.

Looks like a marxist revolution is soon going to be on the mind of a lot of programmers. We've finally reached the point where the "means of production" in software are back in the hands of the bourgeoisie. It was good while it lasted. But now that only the wealthy can afford access to the best models, software development is starting to look like most other industries, no longer a place where some dude from nowhere can build something cool from his basement because he will be competing with huge companies with unlimited access to those models.

Something I never thought I would utter: Here's hoping for china to surprise us.
