The number of bitter fascist weirdos kicking Beff (of all people) while he's down sure is something.

No honor among thieves i reckon.

The kagi people are insufferable. No doubt this thread will precipitate a sea lion convention.

Hahaha good lord

We're gonna create an entirely new type of star that supports itself against gravitational collapse by burning money.

Full Self- Parody. From p. 138:

We believe the next paradigm shift for humanity is the creation of a resilient, perpetually expanding spacefaring civilization that drives continuous innovation across new frontiers, ultimately propelling us to Kardashev Type II status—a civilization that harnesses the full energy output of our Sun. In the near term, we expect space-enabled technologies to enhance life on Earth through greater global connectivity and breakthroughs forged in the harsh environments of our solar system, leading to accelerating progress in energy and AI. As we build infrastructure in the Earth’s orbit, and potentially on the Moon, Mars and beyond, we believe we are capable of unlocking an era of unprecedented economic expansion, while also contributing to the safeguards of humanity’s future against existential risk.

Vibes...in space. It's the sort of thing that a teenager who imprinted on Ringworld might worry about.

From wikipedia:

*A Type I civilization (planetary) is able to access all the energy available on its planet and store it for consumption.

*A Type II civilization (stellar) can directly consume a star's energy, most likely through the use of a Dyson sphere.

*A Type III civilization (galactic) is able to capture all the energy emitted by its galaxy, and every object within it, such as every star, black hole, etc.

According to an HN poster, it mentions the Kardashev scale at least three times.

These are not serious people.

Ask HN: Company is rapidly cutting AI tool spend how to prep team?

Company I work for is now rapidly planning to scale down its AI tooling spend. Claude code access is basically getting removed and people are forbidden from using personal plans. Reasoning is cost apparently our monthly Claude bill has become astronomical for the org. Nearly 3x our saas's cloud spend.

Apparently we are going to get limited access to codex at severely reduced plans.

I have tried some local models such as Kimi, however most are barely functional.

I am very concerned as the expectation of amount of work done is to remain consistent. Ignoring the fact teams have made entire workflows around Claude I am very worried and frustrated.

How can I help my team ease this transition? Are their local models that run well on local machines that only have 16gb ram?

Prompt goblins insist that we're backward and irrelevant. Why do they crave our approval?
