what happened, the guy got bored and left? I miss it too :(

lol @ this austin chen guy, who seems to be an investor in Lumina, as well as a user of the project going like "dude just get on the phone with him, I'm sure he totally won't corner you with threats and such, he's a great guy I swear bro!"

It's a well recognized rule that every time Lumina comes up, someone has to mention that Aella is connected to the project. Then, someone must make a joke about Lumina adding anti-toothbrushing to her anti-showering arsenal. HN hasn't caught up to the last bit yet.

The lumina saga continues. https://trevorklee.substack.com/p/luminas-legal-threats-and-my-about

TL;DR: Lumina guy sent Trevor a mean letter and Trevor has reworded some things to protect against libel. He still stands by the original blog post.

The orange site has some fairly milquetoast opinions.

It's hard to understand what Samuel Alternativeman hopes to accomplish by making such statements. Does he want everyone to give up on being creative and just defer to AI? Does he think that without a source of real creativity for training, his products have any value at all?

The part about him seeing racists be nicer than leftists (?) is beyond baffling. Yeah, white US southerners in 1850 were pretty dang nice and willing to help a random marginalized person out once in a while, what the fuck is the point?

Here's today's episode of "The Left is So Mean and The Right is so Nice, What Gives?" HN edition.

why not come out and make your point instead of JAQing off?

oh no the amazingly useful discussion has been shut down by ... examining its premises! Truly a disgrace to online discourse.

oh wow re-colonizing your mouth with a bacteria that continuously produces an antibiotic is a bad idea? Who could have seen this coming???

This is like trying to install airbags on a car that can barely break 5 km/h.

listened to this, they do a great job of breaking down the berniecrat -> orangeman pipeline, characterizing it as mainly driven by vibes and unserious thought.

I'm reading their fork of nix's README and they mention that they don't agree with flakes as a concept at all. I was previously under the impression that there was some technical limitation with their monorepo that prevented flakes from scaling well. Now I'm not so sure.

Their brains are so saturated with information that they naturally need to explore extreme viewpoints to feel stimulated.

what is the sentiment on tvix here? is it a no-go because of the Yandex connection? If so it would be a shame because TVL is doing some really cool stuff with their monorepo/non-flake setup.

Imagine going to university only to learn that the president falls for grifters that 10 year olds can detect.

fuck me what

edit: LOL they had a data breach. Seems like that's a hard req to be a right-wing forum these days. https://globalextremism.org/post/poast/

Announced a year ago. AFAIK nothing like it actually exists yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DaJVZBXETE

someone re-invented email-threading. It's billed as a way to have "long and complex discussions." Their prototypical example? Yud's utterly pointless thoughts on imaginary scenarios conjured up by his immense brain. Orange site is skeptical and yearns for 4chan instead.

God damn history is cool. I have nothing interesting to say but thanks for this. I might actually go pick up that book, do you think it's suitable for someone who has basically read zero real history books?
