That's it? 10kg? And clankers seem to think that's about 11-12L. So I can load a heavy duty duffel with about 4mil and its only about 40kg. Easy peasy.

My denials always have a reason like "FUCK YOU I already told you not to do that dumb shit! NO EDITS WITH SED" which tends to keep it in check.

Anthropic is batshit crazy if they think automode is ready for default-on-always when their clankers constantly fuck up. Did they survey the dumbest 1100 people that don't check the output carefully? The numbers in this article do NOT inspire confidence.

He was a dreamer, and a bit of a nut, and he was wrong. His name was Christopher Columbus

WTF is this whitewashing AI shit doing here? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Columbus#Criticism_and_defense

If not deity, why deity shaped?

Terry was ahead of his time with TempleOS

Honestly, not much better than talking to a burning bush

They are working on it. First it will be AI (Actually, Indians) driving robots. Then it will be AI (Also, Indians) driving robots.

Exactly. At work, we're already looking at getting our own compute for an open model for some automatons we built. Google's models are alright, but they are retiring them too fast. So we want to get off that treadmill. Plus a local model gives us opportunities to experiment with LoRAs and techniques like what cactus hybrid did with a small head predicting certainty (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49010782). Plus, the big players are removing sampling options thinking they know what's best when it is obvious they don't.

git is decentralized for a reason. In the age of robots and cheap VPSs, if you really want a vanity web page / code forge to show your code, it is like an afternoon setting things up and the robot will do most of it for you. Yes, it has always been time to self-host your own code. I don't bother with a code forge, but I do have gitweb/gitolite running for a very light weight setup to push and display code

Probably some GPO deployed script your admins configured at boot to tweak some registry nonsense or other corpo-spyware related crap.

It is such a stupid barrier to entry.

I went a couple of years but never finished undergrad. That first job tangentially related to what I wanted to do required a personal connection because no one was going to hire a kid to hack code. But after that first job walking away with some (embellished) experience and me listing the university on the CV without mentioning a degree, I was able to break into the field.

Weirdly, you don't need a uni education to do software engineering because of how democratized the information is on computer science and how freely people share their code and techniques online for you to study. You can Good Will Hunting yourself by your own bootstraps in this area, trivially. But places really wanted to know you had that piece of paper. Even when I knew friends with that piece of paper and were incompetent at the actual craft.

Only a few times have prospective employers asked about the degree and it was a problem (some ten years past lol). It ends up being really good signal on if that place is worth it.

US higher education is uber expensive because whenever americans put something in between the service being delivered and how it is paid, it is out of sight out of mind. The borrowing doesn't feel real because repayment is deferred. Universities love money and they figured out that they can jack up the tuition and build lots of buildings and hire lots of useless administrators because it is all borrowed money without any kind of reasonableness applied. You would think the US government would demand due diligence not just from the borrower but also from the institution not to waste that money.
