it depends on who you ask, but i get the sense that the starting gun that got everyone talking was autoresearch, which more or less uses fable to "bootstrap" nanochat, the idea is that claude gets ideas to optimize nanochat given some sort of metric. as far as i can tell, fable is very much able to create a smaller LLM just fine, but optimizing that smaller LLM gets claude stuck in a rut, and very quickly plateaus

but if you're confused about what people are talking about in general when they talk about rsi - is it vibecoding claude code with claude code (technically recursive!), or is the LLMs helping create some inputs to feed into newer LLMs, or is the entire loop autonomous - then that's obviously intended

For whatever it's worth, my gf works at a lenovo plant that exclusively makes ai datacenter shit, and they're down from 4 production lines to only 1.

>>34614
Were the other lines shut down or something?

>>34615
i assume they scaled down production because data center buildup has virtually frozen and investors have lost confidence on neoclouds and hyperscalers

>>34616
But Big Tech capex is still pumping doe.

I think those lines were for consumer stuff that are no longer attractive, and they were either shut down or consolidated into one line for their server stuff.

uhh this seems bad

Wasn't going to post this yet, but because the thread got bumped. Deno/Fresh got nuked by Cloudflare (evil), and I realized using MongoDB was kinda stupid when Postgres works perfectly fine as a document store for many years now. Even React/Preact is sort of stupid to use in an app that has virtually zero interactive components outside of HTML forms. Still need an island architecture to avoid SPA but seems like the only option is Astro which I don't really like because it makes you use .astro files for this.

Another day another tech stack… (retro-future) 90s edition.

• HTMX
  
• typed-htmx
  
• pg
  
• express
  
• express-file-routing
  
• Node.js
  
• fedify
  
  

Am probably going to preserve the architecture I already have in the Deno edition. Just porting everything over. So far just have one day of work to get everything initialized so that I can start the port work.

>>34608
why node of all things. why not stick with the boring choices i.e. jvm or dotnet languages or even golang/rust. Hell even python.

Why server side javascript in 2026?

Was reading this ad roll about Netscape LiveWire Pro Web https://philip.greenspun.com/wtr/livewire.html it wasn't perfect but I thought to myself, eventually everyone will know it because Netscape is a big mover, and maybe the libraries will come along, and enough will be invested in it to make the runtime fast, and you know maybe we find ways to gloss over the troubles with the language given time.

I know some people subscribe to this idea of "innovation tokens" or some similar market language. But I really think we can go fast, The future's at our fingertips, if only we're willing to take it! "The club hits of today will be the show tunes of tomorrow."

CHYNA is going to land on the moon in our lifetimes so that's pretty neat

>>34416

they'll probably just build their own moon that costs like $50 and land on that

Funny thing is according to polls the space program in the 60s-70s wasn't that popular, people wanted spending on more terrestrial concerns.

>GPS is pretty cool.
No it is not. I do not appreciate a global spyware network being build around every corner of my planet.

>Sattelite internet might be good too
NO! Anything internet is evil and wrong. This translates to more spyware around this planet (and why NSA and CIA are funding it I bet)
<No you do not understand we need you to use your cellphone 24/7 even if you are on top of a mountain or the middle of the ocean!
<WE simply need to be able to access your government tracking device (formally known as a cellphone) 24/7!

>your youth studying hard because you wanted to make a difference. You wanted to be part of advancing aerospace technology and help move humanity into the future

Why? What is so great about space? Are you going to discover that ancient alien pyramid in earth orbit one of these days? All you do is go to orbit and nothing more.

The global satellite network exists for only 1 reason SPYWARE! We literally have spyware cameras making photos of every corner of this planet all the time (this is why america lost its shit over sputnik ) We have GPS giving every shit electronic on this planet the capability to fart in your exact geolocation to every photo you take(thanks FBI!) and starlink shit to finally have internet based tracking in the most remote corners of this planet. Explain how any of this is good for 99.9999999% of the population?

I hope those espousing these sorts of opinions are pretty young and its legitimate ignorance. There are a lot of things that are downstream of the space program (not just the moon mind you, but things that came after including a lot of greater cooperation with the USSR in space etc) that have had untold scientific benefits. Sure, there was obviously a propagandist angle to the cold war space race, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't a lot of other stuff going on as well, many of those that impact your life today in beneficial ways because they were done by govt and not solely dependant on corporate profits in order to roll things out (Global positioning system for example, much like the Internet before it coming out of Arpanet; lots of technological development in big and expensive ways by govts are then utilized by academia and the public, and then corporate interests make use of it once things are set up). In any event, space exploration like many forms of frontier technological development can be done for many reasons, but it tends to have massive benefits from its progress, to say nothing for the potential to realign society's views. People may forget that much like how 60s and 70s counterculture even had their own developments echoed in space exploration where Carl Sagan and many others espoused a humanitarian target for the results of what we learned, which had a large impact not just in the famed Voyager probe "plates introducing humanity to the stars" and were partially responsible for the environmentalist interest in maintaining life together on this "pale blue dot" which is part of how all these global capitalist countries decided to ban CFCs immediately leading to the closing of the ozone layer, when previously CFCs were in everything from the freon in every car air conditioner to the big 80s hairspray. So yeah, many many downstream effects and far less than, in concept, a grift or vanity project or propaganda alone with no benefits.

I like your post.
I don't claim to know anything about the topic.
There might be an analogue in outreach.
Setting up collabs, and convos and that sort.
Probably difficult to find the right audience/creators.
Where you've got lots of potentially sympathetic actors.
Even I know some organizations make this their occupation.
And then there's the rest of us.
So there's real institutional pressure like you say.
I must touch grass…

Very important post the internet is slavery.

>In contrast, the material world has discovery built in. You pass a street protest, you hear their chants, you see their faces. You see some graffiti. You didn't search for it. The people who did tjat didn't have to pay Google for the privilege of being seen.

Not only this however the 90s internet and the 2000 internet almost vanished now with AI scanning your posts you can not even say wrong think the OWNERS of the PLATFORM dictate your post will be scanned and flagged before anyone can see it, same for every file etc. And you get shadow banned so you can scream into the void at this point.

The days of some dude posting whatever he likes on some forum to inform people are long over. The internet is a net negative technology and the ruling plutocrats love to pretend how it empowers peoeple.

>>34550
get out of here with your practical analysis of the situation. we should communicate via carrier pigeon only

Not him however you sound deranged.

WHY? You are insane! What if the technology itself makes it impossible to be not tracked 24/7 like cell phones? The cry for alternative is insane, the technology itself is wrong and can not be fixed.

Anything with a GSM modem is tracking you 24/7 and your geolocation to whoever controls the cell network. In 99% of all cases it means the government of the country you live in.
<Oh no it is not the government! It is the corporation who controls the cell towers
<Who are only 5 max in the country
<Who all can be compelled legally or extra legally to give up this data and given gag orders
<Or the government simply deciding to sit on cables that send their data and record that
<WEW glad I cleared that one up!
This is how GSM technology itself works.

OK. Why is this not default behavior? Looks like you condemned your entire project!

What's the point of Omarchy in the first place?

It's another Arch-based distro, okay, but what's the use-case? People who need a solid battle-tested Linux environment either use Debian or Fedora based distros, and there is CachyOS if you want a more user-friendly Arch distro for gaming.
If you take, on the opposite side of the political spectrum, two projects like Rust (woke) and Urbit (chud), they have a purpose beyond the political baggage they carry, it's not just "I'm a Haskell-inspired programming language but woke/chud UwU pls adopt me".

I don't see the point of Omarchy. Distro-hopping is fun at first, but then things eventually break over time and in the end, most of us just want a solid computing environment to do our own shit with, like messing with GCC and Emacs or what have you. I'm not aware of any technical merit this project has over the existing infrastructure, unlike for example, Nix or Guix (which I don't use, but find interesting from afar).
For people who bitched a lot about how woke PR people pushed code of conducts onto open-source projects last decade, they seem to be as useless as them, just on the opposite side of the spectrum.

>In a speech to Alibaba employees, Ma defended the industry's '996' work schedule, which refers to the 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. workday, six days a week.
>"I personally think that being able to work 996 is a huge blessing," he said in remarks posted on the company's WeChat account.
>"Many companies and many people don't have the opportunity to work 996," Ma said. "If you don't work 996 when you are young, when can you ever work 996?"
Here is your communism, bro. Jack Ma moved to Japan after this, because the CPC weren't taking his remarks on breaking labor laws too kindly.

Got the impression it was ricing "lets build it with LLM".
The technology - taken from elsewhere - isn't evil.
Biggest two risks, beyond the sign, of just this are:

1. Users stop thinking. (guaranteed)
   
2. Users are sold (out). (quite likely)
   

We can peal back the spectacle to look at the material.
Taking things just as they are is more direct, if subtler.
Everyone being able to make their own software is good.
Am probably going to rededicate the day to software methods.

Pretty funny considering China has capital controls.

>>34579
then why is a chinese corporation funding a fascist distro?

Gentoo can do it better

Rust has been impossible to avoid for a while now.
Mesa pulls it as a dependency.
So does every modern browser except like cog.
(If even that counts as a "modern browser")
I completely gave up avoiding it on my main machine.

For my personal projects I never saw the utility of uv.
Guess it fits the category of "rewrite it in Rust." projects.
But there was a time when I would have used it anyway.

Also might have learned my lesson from the recent Deno acquisition.
e.g. wouldn't write with MongoDB today.
Even though I'd like a JSON "ODM" with no translation layer.
Ideally written in javascript…

Insane value for money. Had the same 200 american dollar (that's 260 in today's money) xiaomi for 7 years now. Adware I turned off immediately and haven't had trouble with since. For apps like gallery I just installed a replacement if they were bad, design-wise. Spyware is like, same level as samsung or other cheap shit. Would you rather have american or chinese backdoor?

>>34135
Bullshit or cope, I had a xiaomi and it had so much shit that you needed to turn off in separate places it was insane, and to this day I never figured out how to disable the xiaomj "safe installer" crap. I got lucky on that phone because it was vulnerable to mtkexploit which rescued it from the trash bin

>>34152
I just hit back out of muscle memory when the stupid safe installer appears. Yeah I had to turn off "features" in separate places too but it took me about a day of getting used to the thing. Yet it is still my daily phone after all these years. Battery still lasts a good day use, too.

everyone's giving you bad advice. the best phone is one you can play the best emulated gaming experience on, get 2 days battery out of, has OLED, and is cheap, under $250.

The entire phone market is an oligopoly keeping certain features from budget and even mid range phones.

Namely, all non flagship phones are artificially limited to 4k30 fps recording, it used to be because of the image signal processor on the cpu, but then it became too expensive to manufacture multiple of those for different cpus, now it's just that the option doesn't pop up in the camera app.

Cameras on phones haven't really gotten better since 2020, the limiting factor isn't megapixels but rather the focal length and tiny sensor size. Every new camera feature since then has been a marketing gimmick.
Manufacturers trying to get more from the tiny sensor ironically makes the picture worse year over year due to shitty overprocessing.


To keep phones from getting cheap all brands collectively agreed to limit midrange phones from having zoom cameras. I bought a redmi note 10 pro 5 years ago and it had a main 108mp camera, a macro camera and an ultrawide. 5 years on the same line offers the same fucking features for 2x the price.

The only thing that keeps advancing are phone cpus but the gap between budget and the one flagship cpu (snapdragon 8 gen 5) keeps increasing year over year due to normal everyday tasks not becoming more demanding.

Also I really like sillicon carbon batteries.
