Fiveplus··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell
This is the coolest thing I've seen on this thread. Single purpose and a very nice, crystal clear homepage.
Fiveplus··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2025 – Show and tell
I really liked your extension having used it in the past. Great job and really useful! If you don't mind me asking, how do you manage the paid features from a technical point of view? Do you give paid users a token to enter in the extension which then activates certain features or is it something else?
Fiveplus··on Gemini 3 Flash: Frontier intelligence built for speed
It is interesting to see the "DeepMind" branding completely vanish from the post. This feels like the final consolidation of the Google Brain merger. The technical report mentions a new "MoE-lite" architecture. Does anyone have details on the parameter count? If this is under 20B params active, the distillation techniques they are using are lightyears ahead of everyone else.
Fiveplus··on Mozilla appoints new CEO Anthony Enzor-Demeo
Does anyone else feel like the "Trust" angle is the only card they have left to play? Technically, Chrome is faster on JS benchmarks. Edge has better OS integration on Windows and comes by default. Safari wins on battery life on Mac. Firefox's only unique selling point is "We aren't a massive data vampire." If they clutter the browser with AI which inherently requires data processing, often in the cloud, they dilute their only true differentiator.
Fiveplus··on Signal knows who you're talking to (2023)
So...who's right? This comment or the parent comment? I don't use signal and these are contradictory to me. Just wanna know what's the actual policy.
Fiveplus··on Agent design is still hard
Thank you
Fiveplus··on Agent design is still hard
I liked reading this but got a silly question as I am a noob in these things. If explicit caching is better, does that mean the agent is just forgetting stuff unless we manually save its notes? Are these things really that forgetful? Also why is there a virtual file system? So the agent is basically just running around a tiny digital desktop looking for its files? Why can't the agent just know where the data is? I'm sorry if these are juvenile questions.
Fiveplus··on Microsoft Will Preload Windows 11 File Explorer to Fix Bad Performance
The whole text regarding this reads:

"We’re exploring preloading File Explorer in the background to help improve File Explorer launch performance. This shouldn’t be visible to you, outside of File Explorer hopefully launching faster when you need to use it. If you have the change, if needed there is an option you can uncheck to disable this called “Enable window preloading for faster launch times” in File Explorer’s Folder Options, under View. Looking forward to your feedback! If you do encounter any issues, please file them in the Feedback Hub under Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer Performance, or Files Folders and Online Storage > File Explorer."

Thanks!

What can nano-banana do that chatGPT made images can't? Or is it only better for image editing from what I can gather from these comments so far. I haven't used it so genuinely curious.

Most probably due to the outage at Cloudflare.

is that how someone gets cancelled?
Fiveplus··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
I would love to be a bee on the wall in the room where Cloudflare response engineers are working right now.
Fiveplus··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
For fun, I asked google what's an alternative to Cloudflare. It says, "A complete list of Cloudflare alternatives depends on which specific service (CDN, security, Zero Trust, edge computing, etc.) you are replacing, as no single competitor offers the exact same all-in-one suite"
Fiveplus··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Even twitter is gone. Where will I post memes mocking cloudflare?
Fiveplus··on Cloudflare Global Network experiencing issues
Cloudflare is the real backbone of the internet in 2025. It should be a globalized property like ICANN or something
Fiveplus··on Criticisms of “The Body Keeps the Score”
Hi there, I sent an email on your official email on August 28th to have my submission removed. Unfortunately, I think they got lost in the sea of messages you get.

Can you please remove these posts I made? They are of someone's website who messaged me to not link to them here.

>That's why some people write that way, to conceal the fact that they have nothing to say.

That's a great point.
