Urahandystar··on Global stocks tumble as AI panic grips markets after Democrats' midterm success
Yep that man is an operator, He knows the game inside out and boy does he play it.
Urahandystar··on Britain to make salary disclosure in job ads mandatory
Yeah, its all about sales at the top level. How can I sell myself or anything else as the best.
Urahandystar··on AI Startup Character.ai Files for Bankruptcy – AI Bubble Bursting [video]
I don't think this can be seen as the bubble bursting at all. They had no business model but were given incredible amounts of cash purely because their founder was an incredible technologist that work on transformers are all you need. That founder then left and the company died because it had no business model.
Urahandystar··on In Sweden, Organized Election Fraud, "Clan Voting"
Isn't this just voting? If we are honest and removed the ethnicity in this case then this is just being organised? Why is this a problem because others can't replicate it at scale?
Urahandystar··on ZuckOff is a free app that sees Meta glasses before they see you
Its not a battle you are going to win, This is pretty much the state of things but everyone old enough remembers when the same was said about camera phones, Drones and Uber being unsafe. Eventually usage means these comments will fall and then everyone will forget as it becomes normal.
Urahandystar··on US interest rates raised for first time in three years
>"Typo for reindustialize" We invented the language first so I'll use it as intended. The plan is for the US to not be dependent on the rest of the world (China) for its needs.
Urahandystar··on US interest rates raised for first time in three years
All of that depends on the strength of the Dollar, If the US is to deindustrialise as it aims too it needs a weak dollar. Secondly theres the Petro-dollar which depends on the Middle East states Reinvesting their profits in the US to keep the dollar strong I don't know if you checked but I don't think they are going to be making any money in the near term. So looks like the dollar will be falling anyway. Further to that there is the global debt system which largely relies on buying US treasuries if countries get squeezed by the coming inflation, theres the chance these get dumped on the market and if that happens I believe the term is "Well, Fuck."
Urahandystar··on AI Engineer Notebooks – free, framework-free RAG/agents/evals on Colab
Do you have any idea or resources as to where to look for a guide on one? Or what pitfalls to look out for?
Urahandystar··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
Workers need businesses or their is no work. Favouring smaller enterprenuers get more workers.
Urahandystar··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
Yup, soon they will offer to handle the compliance for EU sellers for no risk and low and behold the idiots have given away a tax on selling in the single market to another country before they know it.
Urahandystar··on Worse on Purpose – How Corporate Greed Killed Product Quality – Worse on Purpose
Well obviously you just ask an LLM.
Urahandystar··on China claims to have developed AI 'cyber nuclear weapon', matching Mythos
Of course it has, Whether its true or not doesn't really matter. as soon As Dario went sideways it was inevitable that China had to have the same capability. No doubt they'll restrict access too so that no-one can verify.
Urahandystar··on Markdy: Like Mermaid Diagrams, but for Motion
This is both awful and essentially the future, By that I mean its raw now as its in the beginning but this gave me flashbacks to the flash era of the web that had so much creativity across it.

Once you are able to add more assets in the place of emoji's this could really take off especially in the younger users. Instead of sending an emoji you'd instruct an LLM to create you one of these to send.

Well done.

Urahandystar··on Zombie unicorns are haunting Silicon Valley
Yeah, that really is a horror show. The hidden problem with the zombie firms is that as the liquidity dries up larger VC's firm will end up becoming private equity firms.
Urahandystar··on Downed US pilot reported seeing Iranian drones swarm in 'jellyfish' formation
While this seems like a novel secretive technology at first glance it could easily have been a drone swarm similar to those you would see at a firework show. Stick one of those in a planes flight path and it would cause alot of trouble.
Urahandystar··on Founding a company in Germany: €9600, 152 days and I still can't send an invoice
But his clients aren't all the the greater Munich area so how is that even similar? Surely having a complex form is the issue as this is what fits his needs. Why does the form need to be complicated?
Urahandystar··on Investors get real-time view of UK bond market activity for the first time
Yeah but the VAT on school fees meant a load of those children had to go to state schools so we ended up paying for it anyway.
Urahandystar··on Sonanta
Man that a pretty font, So good it made me think for a while on the way we interact with the web. Most of what we read has been drilled down to be so functional that seeing the written word presented so elegantly was a revelation. My other big problem is finidng something on what web worthy of being read in that font.
Urahandystar··on Mercedes‑Benz starts large‑scale production of electric axial flux motor
Glad YASA's achievements are being realised but the UK really needs to get it act together so we can fully realise the next tech breakthough.
Urahandystar··on Mercedes‑Benz starts large‑scale production of electric axial flux motor
It's very difficult to raise late stage capital in the UK, especially for deep tech. We invent so much but our capital ecosystem is all tied up in land and our pensions providers don't want to know.
Urahandystar··on Saving Money on Inference
This was a really good read the only thing that I think is missing is an explanation of how to implement it. You can't please every audience though, I guess its for me to go away and read up.
Urahandystar··on Show HN: Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes
They were established when hideous websites were common changing would cause uproar and possibly alienate a large group of users. Look at Googles web page just a text box on a blank page, no way you are launching with that UI in 2026.
Urahandystar··on From Supabase to Clerk to Better Auth
Thats because the goal of the start-up is to prove they have a viable business not build fancy tech.
Urahandystar··on Accelerating Gemma 4: faster inference with multi-token prediction drafters
True, but you have to add up the cumulative token output if your being fair. That alignment issue requires another set of input and output tokens to correct.
Urahandystar··on OpenAI releases GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.5 Pro in the API
Please do an update when you're ready, this sounds like madness to me so I'd love to see what the output is. Whatever it is I have to know.
Urahandystar··on Google to invest up to $40B in Anthropic in cash and compute
The app layer is Bahrain.
Urahandystar··on ChatGPT Images 2.0
People say that but the quote. " I can sooner imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism." Always comes back to me. Personally I think it won't be communism but communalism.
Urahandystar··on John Ternus to become Apple CEO
I don't watch much of it but I do think Apple TV could end up a big winner in the TV wars. The shows they put out are quality and you know they are going to be renewed unlike a Netflix. It seems the strategy is to go for HBO's old position as the king of quality but that is built over decades.
Urahandystar··on Why the US Navy won't blast the Iranians and 'open' Strait of Hormuz
Did you not see how long it took in Syria? Did you miss ISIS? the massive number of groups splintered off? Sure people hated Assad but what it took to get rid of him was horrid. If any thing the Iranians are probably scared that this is what will become of them I know I would be.
Urahandystar··on Comparison of two frameworks: 4.0M vs. 2.5M tokens for the same app
Makes alot of sense and token cost reduction is obviously going to be a factor in the future of development, Something sets of my spidey sense though. Is Wasp mature enough for an LLM to understand how it functions when you go off the beaten path and try coming up with novel solutions?
