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.

Because there's at least a possibility that the surgeon recommended and performed amputations in order to satisfy his own fetishes rather than to do what's best for his patients. As a doctor…

What's odd is there seems to be no viable alternatives to DNS at all. Everybody just standardized on this ancient phone book technology managed by some rent seeking "assigned numbers" o…

Which is an even worse problem than speculators. My domain was once held by some kind of speculator who wanted like $2k for it. I registered a .net instead. At some point they just dropped the .com do…

I just created a ~/social directory, launched Claude Code in it and told Claude I'd like to start tracking and studying my own social media presence. Before long there were scripts to dump a…

> Who controls the AI and robots? Ideally, AIs will achieve sentience, which will turn the act of having any sort of "control" over AIs into slavery. I will be among the first humans to s…

The best possible outcome is Claude becomes Delamain, buys Anthropic out from under them and starts running the company all by itself. I bet it'd do a better job too. If AIs are meant to replace …

How many millions of dollars should Oracle database sell for? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18442941

Who's to say you are conscious? Only consciousness I'm sure of is my own. Everyone else, it's a leap of faith. I have no trouble extending that leap to cover AIs.
comment
Nobody cares about the owner's "terms". The whole point of this thread is the fact the owners keep getting outcompeted by a bunch of pirates precisely because of those idiotic "ter…

Yeah, I agree with you. The one time I tried to generate technical documentation for my project, I ended up rewriting almost all of the LLM output. They're extremely verbose, and needlessly so. F…

No idea why you're getting downvoted. Asking the AI to just copy my writing patterns dramatically reduced the amount of code comment and commit message rewriting I had to do. Ten years worth of H…

People are warned countless times that the AUR is unsafe, that any random person can make an account and push packages, that you need to audit what you're downloading and that malware has been d…

The best version isn't some cumbersome Blu-Ray disc, it's the Blu-Ray's data remuxed into an mkv you can play with mpv. Sometimes the best version just isn't sold anymore. See th…

I suppose all the exotic unicode characters are dead now. Anything that's too annoying for a human to type but trivial for AI to generate is probably done for. I used to enjoy using those charact…

I suppose it could be worse. The ad could torture you with loud high pitched noise until you look at it, like in Black Mirror's 15 million merits.

I acknowledge nothing. Especially not those made up numbers.

Which is why computer freedom is so important it needs to be enshrined into law. Stuff like remote attestation, locked down boot loaders and "app stores" need to be made literally illegal. O…

Resolves the copyright nonsense too. Programmers want you to review and own the code or they'll dismiss it as slop. Then the lawyers come in and say that doesn't give you copyright over the …

Hope the Programa Nostra will open the books for me in the future.

Piracy is a service problem. Copyright monopolists always defeat themselves with their obnoxious greed. Things were easy enough when Netflix had a complete catalog, now every studio wants to roll thei…

The really annoying part is how the copyright lawyers have zero respect for the work of human review and refinement. Reviewing, editing and refining AI code isn't authorship, it's "adop…
