MH15··on Groqchat
Incredibly fast. I wonder if they've released verification that it matches llama 70b on regular hardware?
MH15··on Ask HN: How much do you read in a year?
As a child I read anything I could get my hands on. That ended as I grew through high school, college, and the first few years of my career. But recently a few of my friends and I started a book club and I'm on track to read more books this year (start to finish, for fun, not like "you have to read this section for class") than I have in probably a decade.

The first few months were truly challenging, we found we struggled to read more than a few pages at a time. But it got easier.

MH15··on Write shaders for the (sim) Vegas sphere
This doesn't work. Did you try it beforehand?
MH15··on Automata: "Robots" designed hundreds of years ago [video]
Did this "Writer" inspire the one in the movie "Hugo"?
MH15··on Show HN: I built an editable Angular Material table component
I'd advise that the demo links to a live demo, not a YouTube. That's one of the perks of JavaScript. You can throw up a stackblitz or whatever and have your demo for the masses to see.
MH15··on Ask HN: If you were to build a web app today what tech stack would you choose?
Vite and Typescript are truly incredible. The state of frontend is improving somewhat.
MH15··on JDK 21 Release Notes
It's fine to break backwards compatibility when introducing an entirely new feature across a major version, actually. What's even the point of a major version bump?
MH15··on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus
My car only has wireless Carplay, yet it supports wireless and wired Android Auto. It sucks. The only thing worse would not be having Carplay at all.
MH15··on Flexport is rescinding a bunch of signed offer letters
Why didn't they hire the allotted offers then implement a more aggressive PIP? Asking from a place of genuine curiosity, I don't know how this stuff works at this level. But seems to me it would have saved reputation to trickle-cull the salary cost center instead of doing this so vocally.
MH15··on Wii Architecture – A Practical Analysis
Incredible guide... brings back memories!
MH15··on Show HN: A NextJS boilerplate to automate all the boring stuff
Looking at his own numbers https://indiepa.ge/marclou it's hard to call most of these startups. He's embellishing at best.
MH15··on Wet-bulb temperature
First chapter of Ministry for the Future- incredibly powerful and harrowing.

Every following chapter- terrible, not worth your time.

MH15··on Show HN: Poster Ramen – Make Posters Instantly
This is surprisingly fun to play with. Would be interested in seeing a brief paragraph about the technologies used in the About section.
MH15··on Ask HN: Should I give up trying to be a founder?
No option to get a job but dozens of jobs listed on this page? Am I missing the joke?
MH15··on Show HN: Open-source obsidian.md sync server
I've been using the main Obsidian git extension, https://github.com/denolehov/obsidian-git. Took some work to set it up ergnonomically but it works great now. I enabled auto-commit and push on save, and auto-pull when you start the editor. No merge conflicts yet between two machines.

Should note I use Obsidian for a journal, so it's pretty much append-only.

MH15··on Show HN: Fake Hacker News – See what HN has to say before you post
Broken on Firefox Windows.
MH15··on Show HN: Semi-Autonomous LLM with a dev workstation
This feels scammy and low quality. Compare this site with something like https://cursor.so that targets a similar idea.
MH15··on Software Engineering at Google (2020)
"Readability" is very much still a thing. It's a mess and would be one of the worst things to take from Google. If you can't enforce the code style you like through autoformatters and linting, it's not worth enforcing.
MH15··on Testing on production
Yes, this is a relatively common practice. There’s of course still the chance you make a mistake setting up the feature flag and bring down production/expose the feature to users who shouldn’t have access.
MH15··on Ask HN: Worth doing a startup in a space saturated with other new startups?
GPT answer. Stop that.
MH15··on The Windows desktop is dying: Microsoft plans to move your desktop to the cloud
Four popups to close before I could read the article. Embarrassing.
MH15··on How the Kentucky Cave Wars Reshaped the State’s Tourism Industry
Red River Gorge is a gem for the rock climbing community. I frequented the area a few years back, there's plenty of places to dirtbag around outside of the tourist cabins. Hoping the continued development stays positive.
MH15··on Where to watch “Oppenheimer” on film in 70mm Imax in the U.S.
It is incredibly worth it. I had low expectations going in (not a huge fan of Nolan's recent work and the trailers for the film left a lot to be desired) but I find myself in California recently and there's an abundance of 70mm IMAX sets here. Bar none the greatest theater experience I have ever seen.
MH15··on 2500 Job apps, 46 interviews, 1 offer
I've never spent close to an hour on a job application. In senior year of college I probably sent 200 out at 10? minutes each?
MH15··on Hire a self learned and elite Full Stack Developer
I like your site but you probably don't want to be going around saying you are "elite" at 19 years old.
MH15··on Implementing Wordle in the Firefox address bar
Is the color scheme kinda odd for anyone else? Seems like the focus is stuck on the video or something.
MH15··on We raised a bunch of money
Fly.io does VoIP calling?
MH15··on Google has a secret browser hidden inside the settings
This is telling on my age, but I loved these hacks as a young teenager on early versions of iOS. Parental control existed but didn't touch all areas of the platform.
MH15··on Facebook almost acquired Waze, but we ended up with Google
I use Apple Maps while driving in cities now, I find they've put more detail into the navigation experience. Google Maps for navigating anywhere outside of a populated area, they've still got way more data. I've been burned by Apple Maps in the sticks a few times.
MH15··on Humans aren’t mentally ready for an AI-saturated ‘post-truth world’
Here the incentives align to keep the user on the app.
