I really liked your design; not only were the colors to my taste, but, along with the contrast, they were gentle on my eyes; the pixelated font was a nice touch for the code samples as well. On the other hand, while still on accessory matters, I think "Nix: The only sane way to use Linux" would serve you better as a title.

Which brings me to: why Nix, specifically? Wouldn't Guix provide the same benefits — a declarative, reproducible, pinnable system – along with a potentially more pleasant language to code in, namely Scheme?

I’m being a little reductive and ignored Guix purely based on adoption; but you’re completely right. I believe the core argument is that there is a (relatively small) category of these tools of which Nix is the most well-known representative.

Heard on everything else, thank you!

"Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives.

"The intention of this list is to raise awareness of AI/LLM usage in popular open-source software. Provided below is an informed set of AI-free alternatives for users and developers to consider should their ethical boundaries be crossed or tolerance for risk be exceeded. This list is not a resource to be used for the harassment of other open-source developers. If you wish to advocate for the cessation of use and/or removal of AI-generated code from another project, we ask that it be done respectfully and constructively."

The repo it links to presents their reasons for tracking and potentially avoiding LLM-supported projects; are all of those ridiculous? Is the technology's track record so amazing as to make the conclusion ridiculous? Or did you mean tar as a replacement to rsync, specifically?

Yes and Yes and Yes. I’m not an AI maximalist, but this is an extreme position that I believe is, in fact, ridiculous.

You find it ridiculous, you find it ridiculous. But saying it's "extreme" to avoid software and seek alternatives is just absurd.

Could you please elaborate? Maybe because I can't shake a tree on HN without some "I've vibe coded a doomsday device" post dropping, the crypto escrow post didn't immediately scream "forever unemployable" at me.

As am employer I don't want to be a victim of a crime, I don't want my customers to be a victim of a crime, I don't want my vendors to be a victim of a crime, I don't want my other employees to be the victim of a crime.

There might be a legitimate use of crypto somewhere but there is a lot of crime and enabling of crime. In a job market where people are looking at huge stacks of resumes they will apply System 1 heuristics to eliminate people who might have bad ethics.

(Note I am probably more positive about crypto than 85% of Hacker News users!)

There you go.

If you ever do, please reply to this with why.

I think he should try surviving on a small-pay job, such as unloading trucks, for a few months, then go back and reavaliate. And mainstream media should stop cosplaying as The Onion whenever one of the clowns says yet another stupidity meant to inflate their stocks.

There certainly is a level disconnect between CEOs and entry level workers. That said, that has always been the case. I accept your framing that is it a little self-serving, but I am not sure media can be reasonably blamed here. For better or worse, CEO claiming we have AGI is newsworthy.

The full title is: "Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says ‘I think we’ve achieved AGI’. He then seemed to slightly walk back the claim." The very first paragraph says the claim was made, not in some press conference or package, but in the Lex Friedman podcast. So, no, unless we are talking Onion, that's not newsworthy, that's just another wolf crying boy yet again. That's an insult to the intelligence.

As to disconnect and self-serving claims, the latter does go without saying, in that, at this point, it should be clear to everyone that those "warning" about AGI-on-the-next-corner or the LLM-powered doomsday happen to be the ones who profit by the technology's being taken as such; as to the former, anyone outside the "circles" such nincompoops belong to would be fired, if not arrested, for doing about 10% of what they seemingly can't blink without doing.

> Fridman, the podcast’s host, defines AGI as an AI system that’s able to “essentially do your job,” as in start, grow, and run a successful tech company worth more than $1 billion.

Didn't I see a headline about Zuckerberg (not so secretly) training an AI to do his CEO job?

> CEO claiming we have AGI is newsworthy.

If nothing else it should help make plain to more people that CEO is an idiot who can be ignored.

> Personally, I use the en dash. It's shorter

But not a replacement. It's meant to represent ranges.

Is Facebook the go-to place to look for rentals over there? Or generally, elsewhere?

Yes, Facebook Groups is the go-to place, especially if you want to interact with the owners directly. It has become a major player in real estate listing.

Thank you. I hope bangkokprop.com will replace it.

And every book has the same cover image — — while many have a cryptic, almost (?) random string for the title — latest ThePrimetime's "XQC_algorithims_v7-final.mp4," after a short stint as "Don't click unless your XQC."
