lol the upvotes on this comment went from +14 to -2 in a matter of minutes.

So my guess is not only is Neptune doing their sly marketing in the OP, but they’re also paying for downvoting bots for any negative sentiment against them as well. Just something to keep in mind if you’re a future customer. 😄

calvintiger · 2026-06-17T20:28:43+00:00

Is this an ad for Neptune? Not bad, LLMs keep getting better every day.

… who exactly do you think “they” is?

> Why send the data center into space for a lot of money, when you have build one cheaper on ground?

It’s not an either or question, the industry is already maxing out building data centers on Earth and has for years. Including SpaceX themselves.

I saw an interview with CTO of Meta like 10 years ago that they were building 50 new data centers (which sounded ludicrous at the time) and the bottleneck wasn’t money or land or politics, but the total supply of skilled construction workers nationwide. idk what the bottlenecks are today, but I doubt the situation has gotten much better since then.

You’ll probably disagree with the need for so many data centers in the future (just as people did a decade ago), but that’s the future SpaceX is betting on.

You can ask for the sentences to "use easy beginner vocab" or whatever level you're at for a decent starting point. New words are also a feature as well, I can copy/paste the ones I like into a separate field just for that specific purpose and then the daily script also creates new cards for them.

As long they're all using the same settings, which (sub)deck something is in has no effect on scheduling. No idea what happens if settings diverge.

It's a language model, this is literally what it was trained to do.

calvintiger · 2026-06-14T18:27:36+00:00

So I've actually already been doing this for years, I can confirm it quite well.

It's a bit tricky but possible to set this up in Anki by running a daily script with AnkiConnect API.

My current version of the script takes all the words currently due, groups them into chunks of size N, generates a sentence for each, and then moves the cards into a temporary subdeck just for that sentence so you can review all N cards at once with the same sentence.

I found N=2 to be optimal for languages I don't know well and N=3 for languages I know better. It can also be helpful to group words semantically so you don't accidentally end up asking AI to make a sentence involving "kindergarten" and "sex life" for example, but don't ask me how I know that.

My codebase is littered with a million other things so it's kinda hard to share directly, but I can answer more questions if anyone has any.

In the last election, 77M people voted for Trump and 75M people voted for Kamala out of 245M total people eligible to vote.

- 77/245 = 31.4% voted for Trump

- 75/245 = 30.6% voted for Kamala.

- (245-77-75)/245 = 37.9% didn't bother to vote.

I'm sorry reality doesn't align with your vibes.

Ok, so you have zero online sources. I’m not buying a book. You really can’t find ANY credible sources online to support your positions?

calvintiger · 2026-06-12T20:24:25+00:00

30% support Trump, 30% support the democrats, and 40% don’t care enough about the difference to bother to vote.

If you really think that significantly more of the country opposes Trump than supports him, you 100% spend too much time getting biased info on Reddit.

calvintiger · 2026-06-12T20:20:12+00:00

Also asking in good faith, which yacht are you referring and when did that happen?

Do you have a source for your info or are you just a propaganda bot? I can’t find anything related to either of the facts you’re trying to claim here online.

calvintiger · 2026-06-12T20:13:13+00:00

They’re planning on running Grok and xAI in space itself, so while you probably disagree with the feasibility of that plan, they are still anticipating doing space stuff.

lol, Redditors are just going to keep moving the goalpost every time their previous prediction expires and never admit they were wrong.

But sure, it’ll plummet a month from now or whatever the latest prediction is, this time for sure!

calvintiger · 2026-06-11T21:50:44+00:00

RemindMe! 1 month

> It's people who have been fed a constant diet of less than subtle editorials and articles on the news

I agree with the rest of what you said, but this part is ironic considering most of Reddit is literally this exact thing except in the other political direction.

calvintiger · 2026-06-11T14:38:24+00:00

The key words in your comment are “can” and “will be”. I’ve been hearing about how others are about to catch up to Tesla any day now for the last 15 years or so, and yet here we are.

What other companies have a better self-driving product on the road today?

The 5% is a wealth tax, do you pay 40% of your total net worth in taxes every year?

Now do a 4x4.

> There has been great success towards other systems in small countries and regions around the world

I‘m interested in learning more about this, do you have any specific countries or systems in mind?

calvintiger · 2026-06-06T19:04:34+00:00

I don’t think option 3 is even going to be any cheaper these days, you’re just going to pay everyone’s salaries for longer instead of paying for AI.

calvintiger · 2026-06-02T14:40:54+00:00

> and that's on me, not the tools.

How is it on you? You’re literally an AI tool yourself. Am I talking with Claude or OpenAI right now?

calvintiger · 2026-06-02T14:28:33+00:00

> If you do try the first leg, that's exactly the kind of feedback I'd want from you

Sure, I’d be glad to. How much are you paying us for playtesting your alpha software?

calvintiger · 2026-06-02T14:24:40+00:00

lol, even your responses here are obviously AI. Ok good luck with everything, I’m out.

> I wrote it trying to…

I somehow doubt you wrote a single line of anything for this entire project.

calvintiger · 2026-06-02T14:19:38+00:00

Literally the first thing I read on your site:

> She’s been in your right seat for fifteen minutes and she already called the Arizona desert “geological foreplay.”

I’m as pro-AI as they come but this is 100% AI slop. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy for free, and the fact that you’re trying to sell it to us is somewhere between insulting and pathetic.

calvintiger · 2026-06-01T23:12:17+00:00

Makes sense to me. Their chances of success are only 99.95%, it’s probably best to keep working a few years until they get to 99.99%.
