I'm just going to say it, I really don't like the "how do we make OSS sustainable" framing. OSS is already sustainable. The only thing not sustainable is users expecting a free lunch (support, LTS, bug fixes, ...). As a user, you are responsible for your OSS usage. Fork/patch if you need to.

ah usually i just get another claude to do this for me too

henry @hdevalence.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

you’re not just asking claude to do it?

assuming the code is actually accretive (which may or may not be the case), it seems better to spend compute on reviewing rather than producing code

henry @hdevalence.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

you can even use the ai for code review …

i think it is helpful to give warnings about failure modes and not helpful to describe them as inherent and universal

i don’t think it outperforms the top frontier models from a year ago. it’s good though

complete the cycle bsky.app/profile/flee...

this was a funny discovery though bsky.app/profile/hdev...

literally for smac, of course.

unfortunately it wasn’t able to figure out some trickier directplay stuff i was trying to do and there is the aforementioned job thing so i am going to wait for capabilities to improve and try again later

3. yes i can write a custom rust lib and cross compile to a win32 dll and hook into wine and add code that overwrites the original function with a trampoline to a patched version of the blit function

190

highlight was 1. yes i can help you run this through wine on apple silicon 2. hmm the game is crashing? lemme look at the asm, looks like this is an image blit subroutine with a latent bug reading 4 bytes oob which was masked by the windows allocator which returned padded allocations

i’ve done this with opus 4.6, spent some time over the holidays having it progressively decompile most of the binary but there was some stuff it couldn’t quite get working and then i had to go back to my actual job

not to backseat drive nasa too much but i don’t think they should allow comms blackouts for crewed missions

twitter had this via its feed fwiw, this is what made simclusters so magical for community formation

henry @hdevalence.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

if custom feeds don't work well, shouldn't the pbc provide one feed that does work? why is it that the only way to have a feed in any way related to the posts i like and engage with runs through a single gaming pc?

henry @hdevalence.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

i think the post would be stronger if you included travel time estimates / speed over route graphs to demonstrate the effects of speeding up the slowest sections. claude can probably write you a train simulator for this purpose

I think in all likelihood the colonizers will split into seven ideological factions en route and will need seven different landing sites when they arrive… and who knows what happens after that…

just talk to it about its tools, it writes prompts for a filter model

henry @hdevalence.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

but an ai is directly involved in sorting the feed …

hmm a more positive reframing might be that this is a time where you can have leveraged and positive impact on the world?

what is anxiety inducing specifically

i was thinking of kimi, deepseek, etc who are clearly not subject to eu law

(if you are not in that position, don’t worry too much about it, in order to not get distracted from whatever you are in a position to do in your life)

if you are in a position to act to harden society’s software infrastructure, you too should be very concerned about this and planning what actions you will take over the coming months

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

i cannot really imagine a business professor caring about this tbh

which open weight model developers are even subject to EU law ? not the ones at the (open weight) frontier …

sorry but i can actually read what you wrote, which is a claim about responsibility ?
