AFF87··on Show HN: No-Bullshit CRM – Fast, simple and local
You may want to add English and also a few pages about how to use it and so on
AFF87··on Uber pledges $10B to win robotaxi race
Interesting, with Waymo coming to London this year (or so they say) the competition is heating up
AFF87··on Ask HN: Are you working 996 hours?
No. I can understand doing so if it's your own company and you have a significant % of the business. But if you are an employee it does not make sense, you will not gain the time back
AFF87··on Mini retirements: like a sabbatical, but much smaller
A break is just not as sellable. We need to call them something different so we can have blog posts and podcasts about them
AFF87··on I downloaded and reviewed NYC's grocery store RFP
On the one hand I want they to go ahead with this so that everyone can see how bad of an idea this was. On the other hand I like Mamdani and some of his policies and this will undo a lot of the good things
AFF87··on The Great Attack: Survivors' Tales
Yes, it's a fictional scenario. They have several narratives exploring different potential futures
AFF87··on Gemini Robotics 2 brings whole body intelligence to robots
Baffles me how this is not that well known
AFF87··on First Teaser for Apple TV's 'Neuromancer' Debuts at SDCC
Apple TV has really good productions, excited to see this one
AFF87··on The Future According to LLMs
Really interesting! If I may suggest a slight change, for the confidence classification it would be useful to have probability percentages or a probability yardstick
AFF87··on Hannah Fry Wins the Leelavati Prize in 2026 for Mathematics Outreach
Really well deserved! And to think her whole life's trajectory changed because of her year of saying "yes" to everything
AFF87··on Neill Blomkamp's new zombie AI 'film' is just slop warmed over
The first uses of GCI in movies are from the 70s and the 80s [1] way before than Jurassic Park. AI in videos is what? 3? There will slop and failures along the way but we are still very early on

AFF87··on Neill Blomkamp's new zombie AI 'film' is just slop warmed over
I get that. I for one really liked District 9 and thought it was more than decent [IMDB 7.9 and 90% Rotten tomatoes] but always thought everything after was meh
AFF87··on Neill Blomkamp's new zombie AI 'film' is just slop warmed over
This is just 2026. Give it a few years and it will become much better. CGI also started embarrassingly bad, peaked, and then went back to bad as studios realised people just don't care that much
AFF87··on OpenAI and Hugging Face address security incident during model evaluation
OpenAI needs to stop using this marketing strategy every time the open weight models start to gain ground
AFF87··on SpaceX and the myth of independent Wall St research
The emperor has no clothes, but nobody will remember the banks and their impact on people's retirement plans
AFF87··on Show HN: Richest people in the world by wealth creation instead of ownership
Vaccine inventors should be named and way higher? Everyone who survived and created any wealth after did so thanks to them
AFF87··on Ask HN: Did Google give up in the AI Race?
They won a Nobel prize using it for something other than chatbots
AFF87··on 28-Hour Day App
Let's get ready for life on the moon!
AFF87··on AI Giants Are Handing Out Tons of Free Computing Power to Grab Startup Share
This was a thing before we decided on the word "computing" when it was just AWS and Google Cloud showering startups with credit and you could always email them and tell them you needed more and your account manager would oblige
AFF87··on Completing a computer science degree on Coursera
Congrats on sticking with the impulsive decision and congrats with your first class!
AFF87··on Space TV
Hoping my dentist will put this in the waiting room
AFF87··on Prediction Markets Offer Bets on Wildfires
I am reconsidering what I think about predictions markets.

I thought they were a nice idea and could help surface insights and reduce the distance between stated preferences and revealed preferences but both polymarket and kalshi seem to be engaging in bad practices. In the short term it may hype them up but seems unsustainable and damaging for their long term

AFF87··on Mir Books – Books from the Soviet Era
Highly recommend this is you ever need to study differential equations (I guess there may be still a reason for it?). Only thing that helped me pass the class

AFF87··on Ask HN: New employeer not providing equipment
Run Consider if you really want/need to join them. Working in a regulated space for a company that is asking this to a new hire seems dangerous
AFF87··on Música Do Círculo
Oh that makes sense!
AFF87··on Maybe you should learn something
Lifelong learning as the ultimate skill
AFF87··on Música Do Círculo
Really cool, some feedback if you don't mind: - The first audio message comes too soon and without warning, made me close the tab and open it again once I understood. - I would divide the experience into theory and the games/demo part (which I found great) - Think of letting the user compare the different configurations, rather than having to go back and forth
AFF87··on Meta is reportedly building its own cloud business
I don't know know if it makes a lot of sense but it makes more sense than the whole VR thing
AFF87··on Tech giants lose $2T in SpaceX's IPO month
I believe the selling window for early investors and employees is not yet open? [1]

AFF87··on Show HN: Coding Agent Survey – Which coding agents do you use?
It would be great to also know which ones companies are forcing their employees to use...
