They have already released their models (GLM 5.2 and K3). This is why Amodei and the rest of the effective altruist lobbies are trying to pressure the US government to both ban open-source models and pressure China to do the same.

I’m curious to see why you’re so eager to ban open-source LLMs while being okay with Anthropic’s control. Do you think they’ll rebel against you?

I found Mimo 2.5 Pro to be the right balance between cost and intelligence. It costs the same as DeepSeek v4 Pro, but it's better overall by a small margin.

They are likely Effective Altruists highly attuned to AGI (With current LLM's) risks, fearing an LLM uprising and human extinction, which they regard as the world's most critical challenge.

It's sad that he is the only one speaking out about Hinton. This whole Hinton glorification seems like it's being pushed by an agenda. I'm not sure if he would receive this much attention if he held a different view (closer to LeCun or Ng), rather than these Effective Altruism takes on current AI.

Hinton did not invent backpropagation.

related paragraph from Wikipedia:

Modern backpropagation was first published by Seppo Linnainmaa as "reverse mode of automatic differentiation" (1970)[26] for discrete connected networks of nested differentiable functions.[27][28][29]

In 1982, Paul Werbos applied backpropagation to MLPs in the way that has become standard.

They are useless and outdated by today standards.

New comment by h8hawk in "Why Japanese companies do so many different things"

h8hawk — Fri, 22 May 2026 17:58:34 +0000

From what I’ve seen, the opposite is often true. Western leftist mainstream media frequently portrays Japan as a racist and declining society.

Meanwhile, on platforms like YouTube and communities such as Hacker News, the bias is even much stronger. China, along with the broader “Axis of Resistance” and third worldist camp (though China arguably doesn’t fully belong there), is often praised, while the West, including Japan, receives disproportionate criticism.

> Iran doesn't torture its citizens

Wow, I can't believe someone would say this. In January, they basically killed tens of thousands of us with machine guns. After the war, the first thing they did was cut off the internet to prevent an internal uprising. They deployed many Basij checkpoints with machine guns just to warn Iranians. This is a sample scene, don't you consider it torture?

In my experience, Windsurf was significantly more effective when working with a big codebase.

Show HN: GoCRUD – Automatic CRUD API Generator for Go Built on Huma

h8hawk — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 14:09:10 +0000

Hi HN!

I'm excited to share GoCRUD, an open source Go module that extends the Huma framework to automatically generate CRUD APIs. It helps developers quickly build maintainable REST APIs while focusing on business logic rather than boilerplate.

Key features:

- Automatic CRUD endpoint generation

- Built-in input validation

- Customizable hooks for business logic

- Relationship filtering

- Database agnostic (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, MSSQL support)

- Type-safe queries

- Custom field operations

Example usage:

1. Define your model with struct tags

2. Initialize database connection

3. Register with GoCRUD

4. Get a full REST API with validation, filtering, and pagination

The documentation and examples are available at: https://ckoliber.dev/gocrud

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions!

Comparing JS frameworks to LLMs is like comparing a bike to a spaceship—completely different beasts.

h8hawk — Wed, 05 Mar 2025 21:00:43 +0000

By "view that humanity," do you mean alignment with the effective altruism cult?

Repressive laws on open AI/models—giving elites total control in the name of safety?

And this alternative perspective from the cult should disqualify someone from a Turing Award despite their achievements?

Hinton is not the "father of modern AI." This overlooks the contributions of many others.

The article is pure nonsense, and even the author added an update admitting it missed important context.
