No, es lunes.

Hammerhead12321··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Starting from nothing, how much time (and money) might it take an individual to learn how to be able to do these things?
Hammerhead12321··on Despite what's happening in the USA, renewables are winning globally
> The amount of electricity going into the Internet and AI is wild.

I know these things use a lot, but relative to the national usage is it a significant number? I’ve read this statement a few times but the amount is never quantified to something that makes sense. Like, how much has electricity usage increased in the last two years and can be directly attributed to data centers?

Hammerhead12321··on Claude Opus 4 turns to blackmail when engineers try to take it offline
My assumption is no, but it would be extremely interesting if it was able to “invent” that concept.

The article is irritatingly short on details; what I wanted to know is how it determines going offline == bad.

Perhaps someone with more knowledge in this field can chime in.

Isn’t that a crime..?
Hammerhead12321··on Show HN: My AI writing assistant for Chinese
I don’t mean to derail this thread, but I am considering a stint in Taiwan to learn Chinese. I am wondering how different the accent/dialect is compared to mainland China. Are you a native speaker or did you learn while there?
Hammerhead12321··on Ask HN: Best way to sell $1 digital product?
Is there any reason there is not a popular micropayments solution i.e. <= $1?

It seems like there’s plenty of use cases but I’m not aware of any popular platforms that make it feasible with their fees. I assume there are a bunch of costs associated with processing those cc payments but surely they aren’t large enough to make in infeasible to process small payments.

Could you add a bit about how you made the game? I’ve been interested in making .io games for some time.
Hammerhead12321··on F-35 can’t be found after pilot ejected
Something to keep in mind that I do not believe anyone else has mentioned is that the F-35 was built in several variations to serve different branches of the military in roughly similar configurations. The Navy and Air Force can both successfully operate and maintain the aircraft as older planes are decommissioned, and eliminates the need for other aircraft to be developed to serve the specific use cases of the various branches of the U.S. military.

It makes maintenance far easier and over the long run results in significantly reduced costs.

They first established a beachhead and began hunting large cats by constructing a series of breathing apparatuses out of kelp.
Hammerhead12321··on Making $10k/m from a French learning app
Posts like these really need to provide proof of income.

“I make $xx,xxx per month from MySite, click here to visit MySite!” has become an extremely popular marketing tactic, even though in reality the site could be making next to nothing.

Hammerhead12321··on The mysterious dodecahedrons of the Roman Empire
It’s a chandelier/candle holder or heating device, is it not? Wax was even found on one. The different size holes accommodate different candle sizes.

They were made with a copper alloy and thus conduct heat efficiently. That also aligns with the reasoning used to justify the gloves theory (i.e. they were primarily found in colder climates).
