Like, they even apparently recreated that old news-headline bug where the LLM starts speaking in symbols and secret language, and are pretending like it isn't just a bug that is a sign of them screwing up.

It's really frustrating that they're trying to get people to take them seriously with all of this. Like, they even went and named Mythos after an HP Lovecraft monster. It's shameless.

The true state of things is that the anti-AI folks are FAR more vocal about their opposition, meanwhile, the people who like AI are busy being productive and accomplishing a truly staggering amount of work.

The 84% stack overflow "currently use AI" number from a _year_ ago almost certainly still holds true today. Just look at the absurdly long and very incomplete list of "tainted by AI" projects that the list-making activists are maintaining over on Codeberg. Software is not "divided", it is simply being occupied by angry protesters.

Hacker news skews significantly older and whiter, and the blogs and such that circulate come primarily from the "established" English-speaking old-guard "white people" software days. Opposition to AI is highly concentrated among the white, first world, left-wing, established engineers.

This group punches far their weight in terms of the volume of their activism compared to the actual percentages of humans on earth.

That's all it is. Anti-AI hatred is just a noisy echo-chamber of those who are privileged enough to not need to modernize their skills.

I highly encourage you to go and update your priors.

Anyway. I wouldn't recommend following the steps posted in there. Poke around google, or ask your friendly neighborhood LLM for some advice on how to set up your Strix Halo laptop/desktop for the tasks described. A good resource to start with would probably be the unsloth page for whichever model you are trying to run. (There are a few quantization groups that are competing for top-place with gguf's, and unsloth is regularly at the top-- with incredible documentation on inference, training, etc.)

Anyway, sorry to be harsh. I understand that this is just a blog for jotting down stuff you're doing, which is a great thing to do. I'm mostly just commenting on the fact that this is on the front page of hn for some reason.

Just another case of Apple intentionally going against established open standards to price gouge their users.

I wouldn't mind it as much if I didn't have to hear said users constantly moaning in ecstasy about just how much better "Apple's way" is.

High quality desktop Linux has been made real by KDE, and the AI-fueled FOSS development boom is accelerating this eclipse of proprietary nonsense like this.

If you're a developer, you should be using a system that isn't maintained by a company that intentionally stabs developers in the back at every turn. (Unless you're into that. U do u.)

Not to mention the many tales from Anthropic's development team, OpenClaw madness, and the many studies into this matter.

AI is a force of nature.

(Also, this article reeks of AI writing. Extremely generic and vague, and the "Skynet" thing is practically a non-sequitur.)

What type of code? What types of tools? What sort of configuration? What messaging app? What projects?

It answers none of these questions.

His plan here clearly hinges around using robots to create a fully-automated GPU manufacturing and launch facility on the moon. Not launching any meaningful number from earth.

Raises some big questions about whether there are actually sufficient materials for GPU manufacture on the moon... But, whatever the case, the current pitch of earth-launches that the people involved with this "space datacenter" thing are making is a lie. I think it just sounds better than outright saying "we're going to build a self-replicating robot factory on the moon", and we are in the age of lying.

It's a lot more polished than Arch, but it's not for someone who hasn't used Linux before and wants a reliably rock solid and predictable experience 365 days a year, with no fiddling.

It's rolling release, and there are inevitably bugs when updating immediately to every minor version of every part of the OS stack. Arch/Cachy/Endeavour are for experts, and those who enjoy tinkering. (If you want to recommend something Arch-flavored, just recommend Manjaro, and don't listen to the memers who parrot some youtuber's list of ancient and silly engagement-bait grievances.)

Highly recommend reading the actual literature on its effects in regard to cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, COPD, neurodegenerative disorders, high blood pressure, ulcers, IBD, liver and kidney problems, OCD...

The list goes on at a pretty extreme length, and it sounds too good to be true, but the papers are out there.

It's a critical load-bearing component of FOSS on Android.

like, it's a running on joke on most social media websites that "i hope no one i know irl finds this account..."

i think your friend is just overestimating her knowledge of her friends' lives

That does sound like a rather charmed life though. Could also be a sign that people are reverting to using the social internet apart from their irl acquaintances as well.

Linking up with all of our irl acquaintances through the public web was a terrible mistake imo. Seeking privacy can mean many different things.

I use Firefox Mobile, so perhaps there is a difference on Chromium-based browsers?

It's nice and simple in the overview mode though. Breaks it down into an intelligence ranking, a coding ranking, and an agentic ranking.
