Seriously? Those are major differences.

I did not get any “written by LLM vibes”. I enjoyed it and it pulled me in to keep reading.

Who gives a crap if it was written by an LLM. Read it or don’t read it. Your choice.

If it conveys the idea and your learn something new, then it’s mission accomplished.

Fascinating read. Well done. Everyone involved in the Apollo program was amazing and had many unsung heroes.

Worst case there will be another Republican president from the same tribe. We could be in for the same exact chaos and damage for another four years. This could go on for a long time.

Remember, Republicans get out and vote. They would rather suffer and destroy America just so the democrats don’t win.

Thank you for those links. Haven’t read them in a while.

It really makes you appreciate what the Apollo program achieved. Really amazing.

Surprisingly cool. Didn't know what to expect.

Tried running the models with the latest LM Studio, llama.cpp, and Ollama. All failed.

tensor 'token_embd.weight' has invalid ggml type 41. should be in [0, 41) loader knows tensor types 0..40, but the model contains type 41

New comment by iJohnDoe in "I gave an AI SSH access to my production infrastructure – 3 months later"

iJohnDoe — Sun, 29 Mar 2026 15:11:21 +0000

This is actually pretty cool. The OP actually explains and shows the practical benefits of doing this. Not just, “I gave AI access to my infrastructure and it changed my life!”

Some cool takeaways here.

Genuine question. Are you indicating the IDF are not supporters or don’t believe in what they are doing? Their actions are forced because of duty?

I guess if a massacre is a massacre then it would have a high chance of affecting those involved regardless of belief.

Anyone else experience trouble with Railway services? Looks like some incidents.

I had to restart our containers to get them operational again.

I wonder how this will impact the economy. People deciding not to travel won’t help anything. You would think this is the last thing the administration would want to do at this point.

It's a fair point. The Indian take over is more relevant in Microsoft.

This essay was really good and I think will prove to be pretty accurate in the long run. Not sure about 2030, but we’re certainly headed in that direction.

iJohnDoe — Thu, 12 Mar 2026 13:42:01 +0000

One irony here is that Stryker makes their partners and suppliers jump through so many cybersecurity hoops. I’m talking months and ridiculous demands. Then they get hacked themselves. They should have gotten their own shit together as well.

New comment by iJohnDoe in "Show HN: Klaus – OpenClaw on a VM, batteries included"

iJohnDoe — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 23:00:10 +0000

Thanks for giving real-world examples of your usage.

Do you think it’s worth $500 a month? Also, maybe tough to answer, does it seem like the token usage ($500 a month) would be equivalent if you did the same things using Claude or GPT directly?

My reason for asking is because I tried OpenClaw and a quick one-line test question used 10,000 tokens. I immediately deleted the whole thing.

New comment by iJohnDoe in "Darkrealms BBS"

iJohnDoe — Tue, 10 Mar 2026 04:18:01 +0000

Story time.

Remember when dial-up was “unlimited”, until it wasn’t? I would stay connected 24/7 because I was running FTP servers announced on IRC. Well, eventually unlimited became a restricted number of hours in a month and I had to disconnect. I then discovered the whole BBS underground and was amazed.

I would find BBS numbers online, in magazines, anywhere and everywhere I could find them. Well, I dialed into all of them. All around the world. I would stay connected for hours.

One morning I was getting ready for school and heard my parents arguing like crazy with the phone company. It was a multi-thousand dollar bill. Well, back in the day, not only were there long-distance charges, but apparently there was also a connection charge as well each time. So when I dialed in and would inevitably get disconnected after a few minutes and re-dial, there would be a connection charge each time. My parents were saying (more like yelling), “There is no way we could dial that many numbers!” I had no idea what the heck was going or why they were talking about that. Then it hit me like a shock to the system. “Holy shit, that’s from all my BBS dialing!”

They continued to argue with the phone company about not paying the bill and there must be something wrong somewhere. Then they wrapped up the call.

As we left for school I causally asked what all that was about.

They concluded it must have been the cordless phone and someone was making calls on our line by connecting to our cordless base station.

:->

My BBS days were obviously over.
