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.

Self-hosted local models can't become viable soon enough... Currently they require hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions in capital. That needs to change!

I like it when patients research things. Consult is more engaging for me when people care about and try to understand stuff. It's hard for patients to interpret medical research and evidence thou…

> then why the “mostly”? Because it's all vibes, all the way down. Vibewritten rules, vibenforced. If they get bad vibes from your project, they kick you out.

Thanks for linking that thread, it told me everything I needed to know.

Just tried it! The lone interpreter itself runs flawlessly: lone <<<'(import (lone print)) (print "Hello, world!")'

I joined mastodon.social not too long ago... How unfortunate. Do you know of any fediverse that won't instaban me if I accidentally post some wrongthink?

That's fair. HN is a social network. Its value is human comments. People come here to see what the tech circles are saying. A git host's value is in the source code it hosts, not who wrote i…

It's not pride, it's disappointment in my fellow humans.

The exact same worry applies to american LLMs, or any LLM you did not train yourself.

I used the compiler's __builtin_add_overflow in order to deal with that issue in my memory allocator. At this point I'm probably on track to replace every arithmetic operator in the entire c…

Sloppy and low effort reply. Claude does a better job. I'd paste the output but it's against the rules on HN. You can find it on lobsters though, where I did post the full reply along with t…

"Chuds" ?

I used to post a lot more. I took the "be part of the community" rule pretty seriously and really tried. I dramatically cut down on my participation after the "ban AI slop" meta …
comment
That rule's for HN comments, not submissions. Nobody's getting kicked out for vibecoding a project.
comment
I don't get it. Wasn't it supposed to be a user led platform? Judging by your comment, looks like it's actually led by paying users, or whatever it is that these "members of the …

No thanks. I get enough of that bullshit in my own country.

comment
They have no idea what "slop" is. They don't want to have to define it with any precision. Ironically, these rules will be enforced based on vibes.
