HSO··on Gemini 4 Argon
> I'll be using this for everything that isn't coding from now on.

why? is it not so good on that? or is there something better performance, or better price for same performance?

HSO··on Speakoflow – Free Voice Dictation and AI Assistant for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Found this yesterday as a replacement for wisprflow and it seems to work great. Yet no previous entry on HN and nobody i know seems to have heard of it before. What am i missing, why this is not more popular?
HSO··on Netherlands bracing for potentially devastating US sanctions against the ICC
is it really a `threat` (ie potential damage)?

id say it is harmful. like a cancerous tumor that now went into hypergrowth

HSO··on Apple detectives solved mystery of ancient tree and rewrote the history of fruit
first thought on reading the headline was: huh these apple guys have interesting hobbies
HSO··on How GLM built its own inference infrastructure
for sure, but like the other respondent said, he was talking his own book

and also, arguably jensen`s track record is such that i wouldnt exactly lump him with the mainstreamers )))

cue https://youtu.be/kYfNvmF0Bqw?t=12 :)

HSO··on PISA 2025 Students' reading and mathematics performance declined across the OECD
> but only via walkover.

what that means?

HSO··on PISA 2025 Students' reading and mathematics performance declined across the OECD
maybe check out ``western`` birth rates without immigration before spouting next time
HSO··on GPT-6 Astra
people are going to be so surprised how fast the ai energy leaves the room again once the cash transfers are completed (the `ipos` whatever bla)

the coffee will be as cold, flat and stale as the bitcoin, metaverse, and what was the thing before that thing

agi deus ex machina descending from the icloud ftw!!!

pathetic :)))

HSO··on The Internet Is Kind of a Predatory Cesspit Now
SelfControl app with restrictive whitelist

Done

HSO··on New Mac Studio with M5 Max and M5 Ultra
they`re skipping m6 pro and ultra
HSO··on Don't paste the AI, please
personally i like editing much more than writing (the scare of the white page or how it was called…)

and i detest ai slop

so my solution is to speak combined with an ai cleanup like macwhisper or wispr flow of all the uhs and ahs and repetitions or rephrasings etc

you can even use ai to pretend a conversation or interview style

then i have stuff to edit

boom

HSO··on OpenLogi
BetterTouchTool is on my list of things to look into for a long time.

Was not aware it is even possible to replace the shitty logitech surveillance software. thanks for the tip!

Can you give maybe an example of a `funky stuff` for the mouse, like those touchpad gestures? i cant think of any, just to get an idea

HSO··on 30-year Treasury yield tops 5.31%, the highest in 19 years
yield rising means selling
HSO··on Ask HN: How do you keep up with HN these days?
file it (eg in obsidian). tag it. next time you are interested in topic x, there are all the stuff you at least once thought might be relevant to it.
HSO··on OpenAI’s head of ethics leaves less than a year after joining
yup, like risk managers in investment banks with their own trading desks.

just ngmi

HSO··on As AI eats the web, the internet’s collective memory is disappearing
if the value is for oneself, why go through the extra trouble of publishing it though?
HSO··on A Physicist Rigged His Pet Hamster’s Wheel to Upload to Strava
thats roughly the equivalent of a marathon (or a bit under) a day for a human
HSO··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
even if they double it it`s from such a low base it is still supercheap
HSO··on More German than many Germans
> What stayed with me is that this is probably the only country in the western world that faced its own history properly, admitted the worst things it did, and built a lot of its identity around not repeating them.

what a load of 2010s and hamburg vibes but this part stuck out for me.

how can someone, especially from that part of the world, look at germany post oct 7 and conclude anything other than that everything was always a self-stroking lie and propaganda

HSO··on China begins producing advanced chipmaking deep-ultraviolet lithography machines
otoh they had a coordination problem and the idiot ``us`` solved it for them
HSO··on China begins producing advanced chipmaking deep-ultraviolet lithography machines
> They won't be grateful to us, they won't be dependent on us, they won't be supplicants.

Oh no!!!

And yea, to think china will be ``equivalent`` to you is such a westoid delusion i dont even know what to tell you

maybe keep dreaming

HSO··on The Kimi K3 Moment
this doesnt even capture it.

cars are a final product. beyond a basic threshold they dont influence other products, their quality or cost structure.

this is different.

all software, and everything that depends on software, will be enshittified into trabis and ladas once the idiot west starts "building the wall".

as a developer, techie or just a modern person, the only response to this is to get out while you still can, like east germans in 1950s.

HSO··on Exercise intensity influences body composition in healthy older adults (2025)
this gets reheated over and over…

look at the study period.

hiit is not sustainable beyond a brief period. by definition you can only do a limited amount of high intensity before you get cooked.

what you really want is periodization and looking over long periods and aggregate volumes
