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.

If AI obviates the need for human labor, then obviously those who control AIs will become the elite while the rest are left to rot. Therefore, if we ensure everyone controls AIs, the power differenc…

Better than being straight up priced out of computing altogether I guess.

Nobody is doubting AI capabilities. What's nonsense is Anthropic's constant "lol the world is going to end time to ban everyone except enlightened people like us from having these model…

Maybe, but hopefully I'll be able to at least fight back a bit if I have an AI of my own. I want to start digitally isolating myself as much as humanly possible. VLANs separating the "normal…

I've just mentally classified computers in the same category as cars in order to cope with the obscene prices.
comment
Crazy doesn't even begin to describe it. I'm hardening my computers as much as I can but I'm not sure it's enough. At some point anyone who isn't running local AI themselves p…

Utterly terrifying.

The more money you pay, the more valuable your attention is to them. The advertisers really want every last dime of your disposable income.

Just look at all those paying customers, dropping hundreds of dollars on our models every single month. Think of all the disposable income they must have! Are really NOT going to advertise to them?! W…

God damn it. Local models can't become viable soon enough.

That's fucking awesome!

Does this actually stop anyone?

Plausible deniability requires people to believe that you don't know about any so called "hidden" volumes. That goes out the window once you buy Hidden Drive from Hidden Drive Company.

Hope they keep winning. I can't wait until hardware catches up to the point we get to run these things locally. It's gonna be world changing.

Those clauses should be illegal.
comment
> OpenAI shouldn't be allowed to decide what types of customers it wants and doesn't want? Correct. It shouldn't be allowed to do that.
comment
> distillation: why exactly is it bad? Felony contempt of business model.

I have hope it'll happen one day, even if not now.

To me it's just a submission. No different than a Show HN. Marketing people seem to think that everything you do that advances your interests is advertising. Maintaining a good appearance is adve…
