Bombthecat··on Tesla to wind down Cybertruck production
Well, with climate change and weather getting more extreme, it might happen more often...
Bombthecat··on Serbia just elected the world's brainiest parliament
I didn't, but I saw a friend go into a week long alcohol session because he wanted to leave academics and couldn't take it anymore...

It must be like a pit fight, but with connections and half truths

Bombthecat··on Show HN: Pi pod – Run your pi coding agent in sandboxes on your own server
I did that with T3 code.
Bombthecat··on There's a 100% Chance AI Agents Are Ruining the Internet
Yeah, but until that, we can make a ton of money!
Bombthecat··on I spent $220 on Google app ads and 60% of the installs were robots
Only? In think that's actually not too bad. Could be worse
Bombthecat··on Kenyans Did College Students' Homework for Years. Then A.I. Arrived
I uhhh did that too when I needed money, I had a handler who gave me the stuff and paid me. ( Payment was pretty good)

He talked about the people getting their homework and bachelor's done.

Pretty much crushed my worldview. Cheating is, was and will be rampant.

Bombthecat··on IBM Bob
Nope, not predictable at all.

Because they auto route still your requests, you never know if something costs one coin or a tenth of a coin

Bombthecat··on Canada will match US tariffs 'dollar for dollar' as trade talks break down
And blame the other side lol
Bombthecat··on 4 in 10 travellers visit tourist sites to capture social media content
I would have thought it's more. Feels like everyone is taking pictures to post. Not to remember
Bombthecat··on AI;DR (AI; Didn't Read)
You use AI to summarise it! That's the way to go lol
Bombthecat··on Qwen3.8 27B scores 52 on Artificial Analysis
Damn, beating Kimi k3 is crazy. It produces already a ton of tokens.

But I think the next step will be even more thinking on smaller models. Maybe fine-tuned and we get really crazy stuff

Bombthecat··on GPT-5.6 Sol Pricing Cut by 50% on OpenRouter
I was wondering the same, and it clearly says : 50% off, aka a sale, not normal price cut.

I don't get this thread.... Really. Is it full of bots?

Bombthecat··on Research papers using "kidney disappointment" instead of "kidney failure"
Maybe deepl gone wild?
Bombthecat··on Chestnut – eGPU dock with open-source firmware
Are they planning to do something like runware with their containers? ( Sonic inference pod)
Bombthecat··on Qwen 3.8 27B is excellent, but it defaults to overthinking things
Of course, all the latest gains in the latest models are from "thinking" and testing every piece they did.

That's at least my impression. Models didn't get get better, just more thinking and testing and sometimes fixing things you didn't ask for ( hello opus, can you check xxx, opus: I fixed it..)

Next step is a model with 10 GB thinking for ten minutes.

Bombthecat··on Mistral OCR 4.1
Yeah, I'm not sending personal bills etc to china. No thanks
Bombthecat··on Grok Bot
You need bots on th other side too. Simple
Bombthecat··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2026)
You noticed how the current market is? I don't know what you think how employees should react? They of course will pay what they need to pay to get what they want.

No one will overpay to be nice

Bombthecat··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
Jailbreaks exist and work...
Bombthecat··on Kimi K3 exploited the latest Redis server
Why would they need to selfhost? They can run it via API ala openrouter or runware or whatever.

Or on runpod with rented gpus or inference.

Bombthecat··on Show HN: Echo – Fable-level results at 1/3 the cost using open-weight models
I used fable to design a front-end, and damn! It's good! Frontend coding is dead. Design in a way also.

And it was damn cheap too! The main page cost was like 5 dollar.

Bombthecat··on Nobody knows what a used GPU cluster is worth
Meh

Models are too big now

Bombthecat··on Moonshine: Lets you stream games from your PC to any device running Moonlight
Yes, nothing will be as fast as the Nvidia implementation.

Those implementations don't have access to the low level encoding Nvidia has.

There is a rumour, that they did this because of GeForce now, because there never will an open source implementation/ service competition for GeForce now.

Bombthecat··on AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit
Apple already announced that will increase prices.. doubt that Mac studio will stay cheap
Bombthecat··on AMD Ryzen AI Halo – $4k AI Dev Kit
I was looking at buying hardware for me and as testing ground to learn. With those prices I just nipped out and will just rent in demand at runpod or so.

Absolute insanity

Bombthecat··on sqlite-utils 4.0rc2, mostly written by Claude Fable (for about $149.25)
To late

You either do it, or you are out

Bombthecat··on Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown
Yes

Still cheaper then being jobless or without the bachelor

Bombthecat··on What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis
Wasn't there just a study, that many fat kids are fat because of fruit juices?

Healthy in a way, but surprisingly a lot of sugar ( either added or from the fruits)

Bombthecat··on Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models
Same experience with web search / research, it was bad compared to opus.

Missed half the stuff the other half was outdated/ didn't verify.

Bombthecat··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
What

How?

Which model is behind it?
