@pencildev will there ever be just an HTML/CSS export feature? I was using it a couple months ago for a day and it looked interesting but we use Ruby on Rails so we don’t leverage React. We could leverage the HTML/CSS easily though with skills

@ArchitectLoop @Teknium @_vmlops Selfish content creators are the problem, not open source. Blame the source not the victim.

I applied for my dream role... FDE at @NousResearch

I think I fit the "power user" description... 15 to 20B+ tokens, daily 9 AM to 2 AM.

Been doing this unofficially for months with https://t.co/PMUr3gqIgr (4,600+ ⭐ / 100K+ clones).

Onboarding users to Hermes Agent daily, helping with agent swarms, skills, and orchestration patterns.

If given the shot, I'd do it officially.

@Shpigford @joemasilotti @Railway @Hetzner_Online @digitalocean Oh I agree, I was replying to (I thought) to @joemasilotti and it was a general question not a “you should do this when you are under fire” comment ;)

[Roger @roger]

@Teknium that’s the real reason. Intelligence is the new class system. Anyone who is “approved” automatically is a winner; for safety of course, but that’s not really true.

It’s amazing how little people have talked about Mythos; they have no idea what the consequences are. Most people just don’t see the train until it’s on top of them. Mythos is the first leak in the dam that is AI as a benefit to society.

@mmxyzzzz @museummommy @SawyerMerritt @SpaceX This is a worry. If Tesla merges before Optimus and Cyber Cab are fully baked our risk gets diluted. So if it happens in less 2 years it’ll suck unless the premium is astronomical.

[Roger @roger]

@joemasilotti @Shpigford @Railway @Hetzner_Online @digitalocean Why not just use Kamal? Like what’s the value prop, that I’m missing?

[Roger @roger]

I did this a couple months ago when I was using MinMax and since it’s just processes text, and I wanted it be able to send voice notes so I told the AI when you receive audio or photos, then send it to my LMstudio API for processing. It worked well enough but was just fun as an experiment; not really productive. I prefer using Codex or Gemma for multi-modal instead of MinMax.

@Khalil_Elkurdi That’s kidnapping I think?

[Roger @roger]

Wow this has not aged well eh @MarkJCarney? Do you want to tell them about C-22 or shall I?

[Roger @roger]

Why do people feel someone still collecting a paycheque for free should be given the opportunity to work for someone else @BruceMcCurdy? I don’t know why people play this out like he’s a victim.

Also I think he can cancel his contract under employment law he is likely able to take them to court and have the contract cancelled as illegal.

[Roger @roger]

@Fan6969Sens @GreeceIceHockey @spittinchiclets It’s an embellishment and it was deliberate contact by the player. Both can be true at the same time, but most referees don’t care too much about a goalie embellishing vs being run in game 7

[Roger @roger]

I’m looking @ RundownAI and wondered does anybody have any AI communities they would actually recommend because they’re elite for networking, elite for courses? Paid communities only that are premium focused.

[Roger @roger]

@1337hero @wesbos Is it the 400v architecture?

[Roger @roger]

@svpino @kristoph Now we know why. Hard way to find out the reason this way but at least it’ll make the 35 day wait easier more that you understand

[Roger @roger]

@Teknium @spettrotoken @grok They are just lying to generate hype. They haven’t even shipped new code in weeks; how would it even be possible to keep pace with Hermes innovation if that’s the case.

[Roger @roger]

Ok. The non-partisan view.

Left: subsidies will make things more accessible. What happens is demand increases and ancillary events make this untrue. In education what happens is prices rise. In Canada what happens is that seats to people with less economic affluence don’t make the cut.

Right:
De-regulate the market, but the problem is the market is highly regulated so this drives up prices, few lenders, few suppliers etc. If prices fell all that would happen is that educational institutions would consolidate or larger ivy leagues would accelerate what they are already doing which is eventually total domination of online education.

The challenge is that the market is mixed between regulation; regulation picks winners, and consolidation which fixes a bunch of losers or regulation which always sounds good on the surface but typically makes things worse.

Freakonomics I believe talks a lot about how actions and reactions can be harder to predict. It’s not directly related but it may help you envision how situations like this can go terribly wrong despite best intentions.

I wrote this fast with my kids around and Siri so I hope it was helpful

Until you see him roll out cybertaxi nationally or apply for it nationally because he’s ready to launch then you won’t get a drop of effort. There are likely lawsuits from car owners from many years back that are going to claim he falsely claimed it was around the corner. The “lite” talk is holding back those claims because it’s hard to award damages until it’s delivered. So he is doing the smart thing; get cyber out, get that rolling even for 6 months then circle back to =< HW3 and take the lawsuit, settle and move on. If he launched lite now he’d invite the lawsuits while trying to roll out two of their biggest product initiatives ever; cyber and the robot.

It took me a little bit to realize there was a reason for the delay which hasn’t happened before. Also I don’t think it’s malicious, it’s just the circumstances that surround him; he’s been very open about it and if he wanted to dodge it he could have said many smarter responses but I think he genuinely thinks helping those who helped him is important. When he talks about the days of sleeping on the factory floor it was the same ideological pov; if you ask your team to sacrifice then he should also sacrifice and that’s what drove him to sleep on site. He’s been open about it, others have confirmed it.

He’s many things as we all are but he’s pretty direct about what he thinks and feels about everything.

[Roger @roger]

@MemoryReboot_ @Real_SilverLine Best answer.

[Roger @roger]

When Elon (eventually) dies the structure should change because he’s the king you love not the dictator that comes afterwards. This is good for everyone who’s bought into the mission and trust Musk, but no one that comes afterwards will have earned that level of trust and there should be a plan that his estate relinquishes the 10x voting power when he steps down from Ops or dies, whichever comes first.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yes, I need to make sure SpaceX stays focused on making life multiplanetary and extending consciousness to the stars, not pandering to someone’s bullshit quarterly earnings bonus!

Obviously, IF SpaceX succeeds in this absurdly difficult goal, it will be worth many orders of magnitude more than the economy of Earth, but don’t expect entirely smooth sailing along the way.
