“Even thinking is often a sneaky way of escaping the existence; rumination isn’t so much about trying to solve your problems, as it is about going elsewhere in your mind to escape anxiety and uncertainty.”

Profound insight that really gets to the root of rumination.

Why isn’t Fable 5 included on the leaderboard?

I would imagine it's just a branding/marketing thing so that the product is directly associated by consumers as being within the Gemini ecosystem (and thus Google) from the product name alone. NotebookLM doesn't convey that, but Gemini Notebook does.

I've managed to get quite a few interviews through LinkedIn jobs, though I'm looking for DevOps roles in particular, which may be an exception to the rule.

Same. Not sure if they are doing a gradual rollout or what's up.

Fun idea! Hope it doesn't cost you too much to keep up depending on how much traction this thread gets ;)

One small quirk I noticed with the generated short video: for each new slide/photo, there is a very gradual "zoom in" effect that occurs, which causes text to jitter a bit and is a bit disorienting. Not sure if that is specific to the "The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 in Boston" prompt I used or not.

Also, is Claude involved in the video generation itself? I noticed the generated video has "By Claude" in the top left corner, but the logs seem to indicate that only GLM-5.2, Gemini Flash, and GPT-4o are involved (just curious!)

As mentioned in the article, Waking Up is a great option if you want to get into meditation. Highly recommend reading Sam Harris’ book “Waking Up” as well.

bogwog is saying that your site/product is obviously vibecoded based off of the frontend

Curious as to how many tokens are used per second of video.

Have any other states banned the sale of geolocation data?

I hope Ciechanowski posts some more in the near future. He has some of the best "how does this work" articles I've come across.

I feel like "the use of OpenAI models to accelerate parts of the design and optimization process" just means that engineers were using ChatGPT to sanity check their designs and suggest potential optimizations, though that's just my take (and I'm quite cynical about AI marketing in general!)

Naive question: is Claude no good at OCR? Was surprised to see that none of Anthropic's models were included in the benchmark comparisons.

The glasses David Gilboa is sporting honestly don’t look that bad. I think putting them in the same “ugly” bucket as Snapchat’s SPECS is a bit of a reach.

You can do everything right in an interview and still get denied. It is truly a crapshoot in today's job market.

Fun idea, I've been wanting to create something similar to track which vocab words I have mastered. Two nits: (1) no need for a "check" button as other commenters have noted and (2) the UI jitters a bit when submitting answers for each question - it's a bit disorienting!

Deliberately attacking a purely civilian object violates the principle of distinction, which is bedrock customary law the US has never disputed.

> “better than carpet bombing”

The lawful alternative is attacking military targets, not worse civilian targets.

> “why is it legal for Iran to bomb oil tankers?”

Iran’s conduct being illegal doesn’t legalize this strike. Whataboutism is a scourge.

Just guessing, but I assume because it’s arguably off-topic as defined by the HN guidelines. I don’t think it should be flagged, though.

“Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.”

The OP of this thread is referring to humanity at large, not just India. We are all in the fight against climate change together.

Yeah, in short, don’t support the NYT. Their business practices are predatory and unethical. Use archive.ph to get by paywalls.

Infrastructure/platform engineer with 3+ years of experience on Uber's Compute Platform team (though I was sadly laid off in late 2025.) I work on large-scale fleet orchestration and the reliability/observability tooling around it.

Looking for: Series A/B infrastructure or compute teams... AI/GPU infra, developer platforms, or climate/energy/space especially!

If you are looking to see the "true" HN frontpage (i.e. most upvoted posts), I'd recommend using https://hckrnews.com

Anyone else’s slop detector go off on this sentence? Or am I losing it?
