FrozenSynapse··on iPhone Duo
at what temperatures must it be kept to be foldable like this?
FrozenSynapse··on SteamOS Linux 3.8 released as stable
why?
FrozenSynapse··on Claude Opus 4.8
It seems like they’ve been optimising their models for coding. That’s what the benchmarks used in the article suggest at least.

Who would lobby that? On the other hand there are a lot of entities that will lobby against this.
FrozenSynapse··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
Maybe SWEs just can think better and see that there's nothing they can do, and to fight against this is useless. Artists still hope they can change this somehow, which is impossible, the people with money and datacenters want more money and don't really care about the people that are getting screwed over.
FrozenSynapse··on Stop Using Ollama
but if ollama is much slower, that's cutting on your fun and you'll be having better fun with a faster GUI
FrozenSynapse··on Meta acquires Moltbook
This is a complete scam. They didn’t even protect the API tokens, and when the author was informed that Moltbook exposes all API keys, they claimed they would tell the AI to fix it and he doesn't care.
FrozenSynapse··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
legit ban, violating tos, using antigravity tokens for open claw token burning machine
FrozenSynapse··on D Programming Language
I had an interview at Facebook 10+ years ago and my interviewer was the other creator!
FrozenSynapse··on OpenClaw is everywhere all at once, and a disaster waiting to happen
it's a security nightmare. if you want to make it safe you have to take it's internet access away and don't give any write permissions - and now it's useless.
FrozenSynapse··on Google confirms 'high-friction' sideloading flow is coming to Android
Sideloading is already painful. I tried installing Sora (which is not available in my region's Play Store). The phone didn't allow me to start the app (complaining about integrity) unless I disabled the Play Store Integrity Checks. It wasn't straightforward in saying what the problem is and how can I bypass the check.
FrozenSynapse··on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
Tax everything the company produces/profit more and reduce the tax on the human workers.
FrozenSynapse··on NeurIPS 2025 Best Paper Awards

FrozenSynapse··on Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';
You think sanctions on Russia are not working?

some religious lunatics would deem that worthy

FrozenSynapse··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
Still working on moviematey from time to time - a movie recommender engine * https://moviematey.com/
FrozenSynapse··on U.S. pauses all military aid to Ukraine
Russia would never trust US. Russia would never ally itself with US against China. What makes you think they will suddenly turn on their ally China, to side with US (their always-enemy)?

Economically, allying with Russia is stupid, they're poor. The only way they are making it through this war economy is the fact that Russian people are patient and are used to bad economy. The average anual salary in Russia is below $10K.

FrozenSynapse··on Zelensky leaves White House after angry meeting
>We are not going to blow up the world to save Ukraine and Russia/Putin knows this. If he decides to use nukes what are we going to do? What can we do?

They are not going to risk their security for Ukraine. They wouldn't risk starting a nuclear war over Ukraine, it's stupid, even for their standards

FrozenSynapse··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (February 2025)
Another movie recommendation web app. Long ago, I used Jinni, and I liked their labelling method a lot, categorising movies by mood, plot type, character types, etc. Then, Jinni was sold, disappeared and I wanted to create something similar. The Christmas days off I had the time and I started making it.

FrozenSynapse··on JetBrains Fleet drops support for Kotlin Multiplatform
Copilot in VS Code has model options, the new agent is available in VSC Insiders that will implement full features and show it's changes in a diff viewer. Jetbrain IDEs don't have the option to change models
FrozenSynapse··on Hunyuan3D 2.0 – High-Resolution 3D Assets Generation
the assets look good as a starting point, they may even be used as background elements
FrozenSynapse··on Sora is here
Not gonna happen in EU too soon, imo. It still works with a VPN so the fence is not so protected.
FrozenSynapse··on Google must open Android for third-party stores, rules Epic judge
>WebKit is still a top class rendering engine and only about as buggy as any other rendering engine. Blink is of the same lineage given it is a fork of WebKit and Gecko is even older.

But we should have the option to choose. Apple is very anti-consumer, making all the choices (often bad ones) for us, giving us none. The court should rule to open Apple more. Android is open enough that you can do whatever you want, yet not complicated enough so people get confused with all the options you have.

FrozenSynapse··on How to succeed in MrBeast production (Leaked PDF)
watching sports is entertaining as you're watching highly skilled individuals perform at the highest level + gives you a sense of belonging; games - entertainment and skill development, whether those are multiplayer games that teach you cooperation and competition, or single-player games that is fun and in a lot of cases learning (through lore), developing motor skills, strategic thinking and so on; tv/reading - learning (nothing is useless information, it helps create more connections in your brain);

yet, sitting in ketchup is brainrot content - 0 value

FrozenSynapse··on Google Pixel 9 Pro
I disagree with my Exynos S22 Ultra... Battery life is abysmal and it heats up instantly, a thing that got extremely better with Snapdragon S23 and S24. Hardware is still important
FrozenSynapse··on Google Pixel 9 Pro
why? AI is very useful in day to day life, and having a phone with on-device capabilities is crazy useful even for those that like their privacy and are paranoid about big corpos stealing their data. I don't see any reason to hate these features.
FrozenSynapse··on FTC sues Adobe for hiding fees and inhibiting cancellations
you make money of it, it's scummy to pirate. I would understand someone who uses the software once a month to pirate it, but you literally make money of it.

maybe you're not the target audience then.
