New comment by zeven7 in "Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5"

I can’t understand why so many commenters are acting like this is bad news for Anthropic or their IPO, or that it’s some kind of comeuppance. An AI company can’t get better PR than the US government saying their model is so powerful it has to be shut down.

Ask HN: Is anyone seriously considering a career change?

zeven7 — Wed, 06 May 2026 16:32:17 +0000

There may still be engineering jobs today, but I honestly wonder how long that can last and how long they'll still pay well. I'm in the middle of looking for my next engineering role but also wondering if I should be going back to school in my 40s instead.

New comment by zeven7 in "Amateur armed with ChatGPT solves an Erdős problem"

zeven7 — Sun, 26 Apr 2026 13:23:38 +0000

I have Gemini and ChatGPT and keep them on the highest thinking settings. ChatGPT will regularly think 40-60 minutes on the same problem that Gemini will think 10-15 minutes on. The quality of ChatGpt’s response is usually a little higher but not that much higher. My takeaway is Gemini is better at thinking faster, maybe has better more dedicated hardware behind it, and I use Gemini if I want a faster answer but ChatGPT I’d I want to push the quality of the answer a little higher.

Anybody can compete in the unsexed category. It’s only the female sex category where someone can be barred. No one is barred from competing at the highest level.

Not exactly the "Armageddon" part. It's a little more complicated than that.

Hegseth's preacher is part of a partial preterist and postmillennialist group. They believe apocalyptic prophecies like the Great Tribulation and Armageddon were largely fulfilled in 70 CE when the Romans destroyed the temple in Jerusalem.

New comment by zeven7 in "Gemini CLI tips and tricks for agentic coding"

zeven7 — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 06:38:17 +0000

I've been using Gemini 3 in the CLI for the past few days. Multiple times I've asked it to fix one specific lint error, and it goes off and fixes all of them. A lot of times it fixes them by just disabling lint rules. It makes reviewing much harder. It really has a mind of its own and sometimes starts grinding for 20 minutes doing all kinds of things - most of them pretty good, but again, challenging to review. I wish it would stick to the task.

I think you missed the joke. The thing that was funny about it to him when he said it was he knew it was a natural extension of his public position, yes an extreme version of it, but he knew it was also true and’s logical and it was funny to get away with saying it behind closed doors. An honest person would recognized the truth behind the joke and change the position that it stemmed from because they cared about making the world better. The fact that he recognized he was making the world worse AND continued in that path is what is so blatantly evil and revealing about this memo.

If Kevin Spacey had written a private note to Woody Allen that said, "Now that we've been chased out of the film industry, let's become day care workers," then it would be a very different kind of "joke" than The Onion writing the same as a headline.

I’m using remote ssh with it via the same plugin and settings I use in VS Code.

From what I remember Google fought against DMCA abuse by media companies and lost.

I would be very mad at Biden pardoning his family if the next president was going to be Bush. With all of Trump's calls for retribution, and actions in that direction since the election, it is hard to blame Biden for trying to shield his son from unjust exercises of the law, while Trump was publicly touting him as one of his biggest enemies.

Even for legit interviews I don’t want all the random NPM dependencies they’re using running on my computer

So it didn’t move from one party to another

Did Dominion have a party affiliation? I would assume we just went from neutral party affiliation to strong party affiliation, not from one party to another.

We know exactly who discovered these objects, what tech they were using, and where the funding came from, and it wasn’t from space force.

That’s interesting. If it was possible to do on a homemade telescope, then why were no interstellar objects discovered before 1A?

For Google, the ads used to be on the right side. It was a big deal when they made you start scrolling past them.
