Ok, Vibrierkot is something for the German shitpost communities with all my Zuhausis im Zwischennetz.

I'm sad that "Klopilot" only works in German.

"Hello, copilot, do you create slop? -> Skibidi slop slop slop aiiiiiii"

What's the difference compared to a phone with a radio firmware by a US company?

In both cases it's something closed and the government has shown overreach. (Yes, China a lot more than the US, but still ... things are not looking good a the moment. And I have no more trust, even if the political direction changes for a presidency period or two.)

But yes, ultimately we want open source firmware. Still, then there could be hardware backdoors anyways ...

I as a Canadian, lack trust too for the US these days.

And there are indeed issues.

Yet these issues are perhaps 1 foot high, and the issues with China and PRC's interference in domestic corporations, reaches to the moon.

There's literally no comparison. Even now.

(Sorry for the slop, in this case it is intentional)

> Chatgpt, please write an answer for openai on https://openai.com/index/our-agreement-with-the-department-o.... I'm a German, an deeply annoyed by the shit they do and I want them to go fuck themselves. I cancelled my account. As I will post this on hacker news, make it short. Explain why it is a no go for them to do what they did. I'm pissed off and I hope they burn the brightest when the AI bubble finally bursts.

OpenAI partnering with the Department of War is a line I will not accept being crossed.

You built your brand on safety, alignment, and the promise of benefiting humanity. Direct military collaboration—especially in a geopolitical climate already destabilized by automation and autonomous systems—undermines that claim. Advanced AI integrated into defense structures is not a neutral act. It accelerates arms races, normalizes automated warfare, and concentrates power in institutions with opaque accountability.

This is not “inevitable progress.” It is a choice.

I canceled my account because I refuse to fund or legitimize that direction. Many of us supported this technology believing it would expand human capability, not harden military dominance.

When the AI bubble eventually deflates, reputations will matter. Decisions like this will not be forgotten.

Nachgedacht für 26s

It seems to try to parse the DDL itself, right? I tried only with a few of the PostgreSQL things we use in our schema and and failed parsing them

e.g. CREATE TABLE books2 (LIKE book INCLUDING ALL);

So I assume it is not Progresql DDL it uses but "something close".

I had a look, so how would I bring my data into it.

By exposing my database to services somewhere else in the network. Oh and somewhere else is the US.

Fat chance in hell I can anyone in my company look at that or even think about legally applying it with some serious data. (I'm in EU. Yes, a lot of people and companies use US services. Currently it looks like NONE of these can legally do.)

It looks interesting, but it needs a on premise solution.

Fair enough. We're releasing our first bring-your-own-cloud (BYOC) offering in April. We're working with a big e-commerce platform in Germany that has data sovereignty requirements so totally get the constraint and excited to offer something like this. We're starting with AWS then will do GCP at end of year. Full on-premise will still be awhile though to be honest.

For the cloud platform though (console.shaped.ai), i'd recommend just testing with some synthetic or deanonymized data or our demos and then if you're interested in BYOC reach out after April!

I always assume cloud based services are a moat against the simplicity of the code bases used for these types of demos.

I had the same clever idea once. Deprecation warning, and it would (by the power of a C-Macro) auto-turn off when the relase x was reached, with louder and louder warnings before.

One day I came back from holidays. I had just broken a big go-live where the release number passed x. Date missed, next possibility in a few weeks. The team was pissed.

Yes they COULD have fixed the warnings. But breaking the go live was quite of of proportion for not doing so.

Could the clients have reasonably foreseen when the release x would occur?

Could they not have rolled back?

That with its pixel art is styled so beautifully and so hard to read at the same time. Couldn't read it at all. (It's not an eye vision problem, reading pixel fonts just is quite taxing on the brain).

I had to go back to the page to check that it actually uses pixel font. To each its own I guess. For me the font was barely noticeable.

You can turn on anti-aliased fonts by clicking the bottom right hand corner menu button

It's pixel-art styled but not pixel-art arted (is that even a word?). The font does not cleanly align on pixel boundaries on non-HiDPI screens thus it appears blurry. In fact, the whole website appears blurry.

Folks, when making pixel-art styled stuff, ensure they are actually sharp on bix-pixels screen. It's not pixel-art if it's sharp only on your macbook.

Interesting - meanwhile, I found it refreshingly easy to read.

I found it hard too. Perhaps the difference with the other people responding is the size the font is rendered. On my screen, the distance between the top of a "d" and the bottom of a "y" in the body text is 7mm. That corresponds to font size 18 in Word, or 22px in the browser, so basically a chapter heading.

Yeah I started to read the article, went into the CSS, disabled the custom font, and continued reading.

Then I went on HN to read the comments, and found out there is a toggle to get an anti-aliased font…

I went in and just… read it? Don’t see the issue with the thing.

I think it will vary considerably depending on the size, resolution, and quality of your display.

Somehow I expected a downvote, but I'm not really clear on why…

Goes to show the difference in preferences people have. I found the pixel font quite nice, but loathe having to read any serif font, even on paper.

What made me switch the default font off was its color fringing, like it was being displayed on a CRT display with poor convergence.

It was surprisingly readable on mobile, despite a considerable amount of wasted display real estate.

I'm so disappointed they didn't print a tiny benchy in their videos.
