On: Ask HN: Most beautiful personal blog UI you have ever seen?

[mycall]

While this might be pushing it, some have had blogs on it.. but, I will love the UI.

Now if most of their customers did that, they wouldn't close down all the accounts. Forgotten power of the people.

yes, and if I had a unicorn I would be happy.

> Now if most of their customers did that

If most customers did anything active we'd have a radically different society. The difficulty is getting people engaged to fight back against the system (I'm not absolving myself from being part of those people)

You are applying a problem which every AI company has, not unique to OpenAI. What about other nation-states making auto-AI robots which kill children, will you still choose to pick out OpenAI specifically? Maybe your concern is too late and dozens of countries already are training their own AIs to do that or worse.

This company sucks, what about all the other ones that suck hmmmmmm?

All of these VC funded AI companies are bad. Full stop. Nothing good for humanity will come of this.

You underestimate my capacity for broad hatred

True and simply vote it down.

mycall would also be to do the same

On: Data has weight but only on SSDs

[mycall]

You can do binary by etch glass and the more data you have, the less weight it has. Negative space is quite useful.

On: When AI writes the software, who verifies it?

[mycall]

Also, if you find after implementation that the spec wasn't specific enough, go ahead and refresh the spec and have the LLM redo the code, from scratch if necessary. Writing code is so cheap right now, it takes a different mindset in general.

On: Did Alibaba just kneecap its powerful Qwen AI team?

[mycall]

Who knows if OpenAI will do a refresh, but gpt-oss-20B/120B are still some of the best edge models so far.

oh?! what do they handle well? how do they fail?

the 3.5 9b model on my laptop at full fp8 is outlandish in its seeming reasoning capacity, though i haven’t really stress tested it

On: Parallel coding agents with tmux and Markdown specs

[mycall]

The hard part about extracting patterns right now is that they shift every 2-4 months now (was every 6-12 month in 2024-2025). What works for you today might be obsolete in May.

The FC hardware has room for a PCIe x4 with maybe ConnectX-7 @ 100GbE mode.

On: AI is making junior devs useless

[mycall]

Hex editors are a black box to most 99% devs these days. I noticed their use falling off once code-signing came into use.
