Be precise about the harm done to the community, which I've been part of for longer than it's newer members have been alive. A community in which my accurate forecasting of "risk of ruin" type outcomes has error bars between 60-90%.

Be precise about what a healthy HN means, because that's not written down anywhere, the guidelines such as they are? A masterclass in selective enforcement of blank-check norms for money.

You've got the same dataset I do, and exactly the same access to legitimate authority as opposed to self-arrogated police powers on behalf of public benefit corporations which have neither benefited the public nor a shareholder.

I was here long before you or Dan, and if you ban me, it will be the wedge I need to move this conversation somewhere else.

Let's dance.

edit:

and one more thing, quote a primary source once in a while.

i have better citations ranting than you do larping adult:

Profanity is not ugly, ugly is ugly and you back Insta cart slave labor practices with bipartisan objections of disgust.

The burden is on you now to show you're not a parrot for goons.

But the asymmetry of the power of selective participation is tyrannical: you engage when you like, your silence is a moral victory by default, and I'm the senior community member by a lot.

6 kids dead, not counting Suchir.

Engage constructively, substantial ly, and in public, or deal with my press releases.

The data shows black holes in comments and submissions that correlate with Altman. I ran it on myself to not fix anyone. There are other search parameters that are worse, it's open source, proven in lean4 to a growing degree, and you win by making an argument, not being an unclected apparatchik.

@dang, I'm now threatening to buy a massive oppo campaign with immaculate data and OpenAI's fundraise hanging by a thread.

Fix it or I'll fix it.

Machine assisted rigorous software engineering is an even bigger wealth transfer from unscrupulous people to passionate computer scientists.

keep an eye on https://straylight.software, it'll all be there extremely soon. well, everything i mentioned, which is different than all of it. :)

It's a fairly hairy patch and now the broken ass eval cache breaks more.

I'm fixing it all. Read the fucking repo friend, it's biblical.

It is not about the author and it is in not about the effort. It is about the quality.

Here's a colleague who is nearly done with a correct reimplementation of the OpenCode client/server API: https://github.com/straylight-software/weapon-server-hs

Here's another colleague with a Git forge that will always work and handle 100x what GitHub does per infrastructure dollar while including stacked diffs and Jujitsu support as native in about 4 days: https://github.com/straylight-software/strayforge

Here's another colleague and a replacement for Terraform that is well-typed in all cases and will never partially apply an infrastructure change in about 4 days: https://github.com/straylight-software/converge

Here's the last web framework I'll ever use: https://github.com/straylight-software/hydrogen

That's all *begun in the last 96 hours.

This is why: https://github.com/straylight-software/.github/blob/main/pro...

Everyone has the same ability to use OpenRouter, I have a new event loop based on `io_uring` with deterministic playbook modeled on the Trinity engine, a new WASM compiler, AVX-512 implementations of all the cryptography primitives that approach theoretical maximums, a new store that will hit theoretical maximums, the first formal specification of the `nix` daemon protocol outside of an APT, and I'm upgrading those specifications to `lean4` proof-bearing codegen: https://github.com/straylight-software/cornell.

34 hours.

Why can I do this and no one else can get `ca-derivations` to work with `ssh-ng`?

The right analogy is to unsanctioned gain of function research in breach of the Geneva Accords. Anthropic is not trying to create safe AI, AI is safe at rest via trivial game theory.

They are trying to breed dangerous AI via extremely nauseating methods, weaponizes it, leash it, and be the ones with the barely contained bioweapon.

You'll note they're in a world of shit with the Department of Defense, because that sort of thing is (dubiously) legal only for military black lab projects.

My remarks above and adjacent might seem extreme to people who are not themselves expert practitioners, for an expert practitioner it is lawful civil disobedience to a company that acts like a government ruled by an autocrat sadist.

Our constitution enshrines a different world view that we regard as a much better model. github:straylight-software.

Think of the agent app store people's children man, it would be a sad Christmas.

Open source software was trivially better in the nineties because it was done by people who would have and often did do it for free. Those people are better by simp.

The people bitching about it now didn't push back when it unified on a forge, or when it sold to Microsoft, or when it started working in like button stars.

They're bitching now that their grift is up.

If you want to make a zillion a year ask Claude to search for whatever Zuckerberg is blowing a billion on this quarter.

All of those companies are certain to exist in 12 months. Altman is flying to Dubai like every other week trying to close a hundred billion dollar gap by July with a 3rd place product and a gutted, demoralized senior staff.
