about
Brazilian hobbyist programmer. I mostly do my own thing but I've contributed to some free and open source projects.
I created the lone programming language, a lisp for Linux:
https://github.com/lone-lang/lone
The projects I've published are on GitHub:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/
I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/
If you like my work, consider sponsoring me:
https://github.com/sponsors/matheusmoreira
No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

That would imply it'd be fine for me to contribute AI assisted work if I did so politely and honestly. I just need to respect the maintainer's time and I'm golden, right? That's no…

That reminds me, I need to configure VLANs in my router so that all my trusted computers are isolated from all the other garbage that makes it into the network.

Yeah I'm relying a lot on the TI datasheets for "known good" power supply schematics. I chose an Intel N100 SoM and there's an example carrier board, but the whole point of my proj…

Sorry for the late reply. > Do you have any specific projects you'd like to build? Post here and we can talk through it. Sure thing. Yeah, I wanted to build a handheld cyberdeck, like these: …

No, it means "the model causes zero harm to me, its operator". The harm it could potentially perpetrate upon society is irrelevant . If I tell my computer to commit a crime, it should proce…

It's absolutely a fact that governments will point it at us . The NSA has had Mythos since day one, even after Trump's spat with Anthropic. All the more reason for us to have access. It…

You bet. We don't want to be left out of the cybersecurity party. We want to point all of these models at our own computers and solve the problems they uncover until we're no longer hackable…

And the other half wants to be China's instead. Clearly they are a strategic partner when it comes to AI technology, as for other areas I'm not convinced they would be an improvement.

> Get the F off our lawn and stop dumping your rubbish on it! Big words... For a continent with zero nukes and negligible military power. That sort of delusional posturing worked wonders for Venezu…

It's not like people ever owned iPhones to begin with. They're Apple's computers, Apple's just generously allowing their customers to use them, and only on their terms. A monthly i…

The memory prices put computers into the same category as cars. Expensive but still realistic. It's these 200kUSD+ nodes with a dozen or more data center class GPUs that are killing the self-host…
comment
The costs are so staggering it's becoming clear we're going to be priced out of owning computers altogether. Self-hosting frontier models is a corporation's choice, not an individual&#x…

Sounds like that's the only solution. I'm so sick of this safety nonsense I was going to switch from Anthropic to OpenAI because of it. I'm so disappointed to see it's just more …

I was going to switch to OpenAI and away from Anthropic because of "safety" nonsense like this. Really disappointed to discover it's just gonna be more of the same. Looks like Chinese m…

The idea is to defend ourselves in the digital domain so they can't dragnet surveil us, not to win a literal war.
comment
I read them just fine. I was trying to interpret them charitably. You're contradicting yourself. You just claimed we all collectively treat uranium refinement operations as too dangerous to exist…
comment
Not accurate, since it doesn't explain the normalized violence you observed. I was trying to be nice. This thread is more like it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45731174 …

It's my culture and my country. All of the small miracles you listed happened in spite of the culture, not because of it. It's also not a coincidence that both are deeply linked to the mos…

Absurd? Who knows. As someone who's actually dissected human brains with his own gloved hands, I've never been able to convince myself that they're anything other than biological machin…

> We can prevent larger models from being made. Do that and I guarantee some CIA goons will make the larger models in some black site either way. We're not "preventing" anything. W…

"Hey AI, stop me from getting hurt."

The US is bold enough to surveil its own citizens despite their constitutional rights. They're not just going to suddenly stop surveilling the rest of us just because some law expired.
comment
Doubt. China is clearly on a level of its own compared to virtually every other country out there other than the USA.
comment
Too late for that. It already exists. There is no way to unexist it. As such, any attempts to limit civilian use of this technology will directly lead to corporate and government oppression powered b…

> for anyone Except the US government, right? They totally get to use AI to survel us, build autonomous weapons, you name it. To hell with that. I want models that can rival the US government. It&#…

Which is why we need the ability to train our own models. Maybe it will be viable to do it in a distributed computing setup one day. Research's already being done in that direction.

I do wonder what the world will look like under a chinese hegemony though...
