A lot of the us are building various projects based on Hackernews data, so I thought I should also task my agents to build one.Fully vibe-coded slop. Uses free clickhouse hosted hackernews data endpoint: https://play.clickhouse.com/play?user=play#U0VMRUNUIG1heCh0a...Source code: https://github.com/freakynit/hackernews-analytics
Open data is such a blessing... screw twitter/X, Reddit and Facebook for gatekeeping end user's data. Long live Hackernews.

Woah.. I absolutely love the design.. and its so so fast! I hope more people know about this site. Truly incredible work.
We used to have.. at least it was not so heavily restricted.. and then AI happened, and everyone closed those down.
Such a sad state of affairs.. holding end user's data hostage.
This is a goldmine. Holy!!!
I think large LLMs can be seen as a representation of humanity's collective thought processes... almost as if humanity were a single entity.
They have read pretty much everything we have ever written, good and bad, so they're kind of a mirror of us, as a species. Not a perfect one, but still.
Aliens could probably use a llm to get a crash course on what humans are actually like, and how to interact with them.
The "information" is known at least since this year start... you don't need to wait to see actual "latest" earnings reports to arrive at the these conclusions.
Can someone tell me one single difference between a parasite and a politician? I seem to not find any.
Well, very suspicious indeed when you consider the timelines.
Solution: Don't become too dependent on small number of customers.
"Local inference can cause a large under-utilization of resources" ... did he mean the resources that users themselves have fully paid-for themselves?
Not to mention, I bet users will be open to "rent" their hardware for proper utilization, provided he can pay for it.... real question is, will he?
Is anyone noticing that from past few days, a certain level of "priming" has started with such articles appearing more and more?
Somehow most of the hackernews links related to epstein files end up getting flagged in under an hour, even when there are hardly any negative comments.
These monitoring checks can themselves become signalling channels if triggering them produces observable side effects.

I freaking hate liquid-glass UI Apple has "forced" onto us. No freaking way to disable it. I hate it so much.
M1 Air guy here... I'm not looking for a replacement still. Almost 6 years now. Runs butter-smooth. Best tech purchase I ever made.
Bro, I had to read this sentence in the context of the previous one, 3 fcking times.. and it sill does not make any sense to me.
I don't want to make this discussion politicized.. but man... Trump truly burned everything down that the US built over decades of hard work and careful planning. And these things are extremely difficult to build back, especially in a world like today's.
I have a little different take..
Top models, capable of discovering and inventing stuff, held back from public, and available only as for-rent research service (or whatever the relevant bureaucratic term is) to big corporations and government agencies like NASA, DARPA, NSF, NIST, DOE, etc. only.
I have a feeling that we, the public, will stop getting access to more intelligent models starting next year.. i mean, not the incremental ones, but, major ones.. like the one you got going from opus 5 to opus 5.5.
I hope this does not translate to suppression of any dissent or freedom of speech in general.
