ankit_mishra··on GPT‑6 and Intelligent UI for everyone
https://cdn.openai.com/pdf/gpt-6-october.pdf

System card linked in the blog post.

> regression on the extremism vision evaluation.

> Relative to their respective GPT-5.6 counterparts, GPT-6 Sol (October) shows a statistically significant regression on standard self-harm, while GPT-6 Luna (October) shows statistically significant regressions on standard self-harm, gore, and sexual content

> "GPT-6 Sol (October) and GPT-6 Luna (October) show an improvement on helpfulness on legitimate requests relative to prior models, though it scores lower on some safety requests"

Concerning how there's significant regressions on so many critical benchmarks, but it is newer and creates UI, so must be good.

It’s crazy that a company can document these safety drops in a PDF, ship the model anyway, and focus the announcement entire on shiny new UI

I like the disclosure at the top, saves time.

ankit_mishra··on Microsoft Can Track Users via a Windows Device ID
They don't need the encrypted payload just domain is the basis here as far as I can tell.
ankit_mishra··on Claude Fable 5
Is this Straw Man and Ad Hominem ?
ankit_mishra··on IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark
I'm wondering the same thing for India. Not the top but looks surprisingly surprisingly high. Perhaps I'm reading the data wrong.
ankit_mishra··on Show HN: OsintRadar – Curated directory for osint tools
I think this is not actually a curated list, and LLM put the open source part in FAQ, and they didn't catch it before publishing.

FAA explicitly requires birds used in strike tests NOT be frozen, because frozen birds do not realistically simulate real bird strikes.

Balloon doesn't teleport to the balloon lane though

OP's account was made an hour ago and comments from it are suspiciously fast (and unnecessarily verbose).

This is an obvious scam, I don't know why I wasted this time double checking.

Makes me sad that this it the top HN post. Also got me thinking if the technique is so effective here (among more-than-average-scam aware community), I don't want to imagine the success rate on other social media.

ankit_mishra··on I can build enterprise software but I can't charge for it
From what I can tell looking at the website they are hoping to have made enough returns by the time it's taken down
ankit_mishra··on Show HN: Scriber Pro – Offline AI transcription for macOS
You were going for *really low contrast* ? That's an interesting goal to have.
ankit_mishra··on Show HN: Oh Yah – Routine management app I built for my sons
It only let's you pin single app though, as far as I understand.
ankit_mishra··on Oh no, not again a meditation on NPM supply chain attacks
npm audit - will tell you if there's any packages with known vulnerabilities. https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-audit I'd imagine it's considerably slower than search, but hopefully more reliable.
ankit_mishra··on WebGL Water (2010)
Same for me on. Getting this error - Uncaught Error: This demo requires the OES_texture_float extension WebGL Water

Using - Chrome 136.0.7103.87 Android 15;

ankit_mishra··on Run CLIP on iPhone to search photos
Is it a possibility to have some sort of offline database to query against ? Or maybe that would make the app to heavy. Could be a "opt-in" download.
ankit_mishra··on Ask HN: What's the best lecture series you've seen?
"Human Behavioral Biology" lecture serise by Robert Sapolsky at Stanford.

As a engineer with huge interest in learning how something works, understanding human brain and behavior, was a logical next step for me. The lectures are more about learning ways of analyzing the mind rather than learning any specific facts.

ankit_mishra··on Why is it so hard to see code from 5 minutes ago?
For me "Local History" feature in WebStorm solves the issue. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/webstorm/local-history.html
