anshumankmr··on Intel stock collapse worsens as $3.5T chip rout spreads
Also missing mobile altogether.
anshumankmr··on A Jev that can ask Opus for help gives Opus accuracy at 4x lower cost
Why isn't Jev on Bedrock asap... I did a demo for using it as an orchestrator but the problem is upper management won't approve it unless its on Bedrock which is a real bummer
anshumankmr··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
There are some folks trying the same thing as I mentioned. Can check the past posts on HN that talk about the same thjing
anshumankmr··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
Not saying I agree with the view, but something along those lines popped up when the Naive Stokes conjecture was seemingly solved (and way before when Open AI began solving Olympiad level problems and so on with their older class of models). Personally, I do see both sides of the argument. Though the broader impact remains to be seen.
anshumankmr··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
The question for some is, is whether the original authors would have produced their work without building off from the work of other mathematicians.

(which is somewhat valid). Though I think a far more interesting thing would be whether AI given the corpus of 19th century mathematics and physics reproduce what Ramanujam or what Einstein did.

anshumankmr··on Every AI model has the same "controversial" take on humans
Is the take supposed to be wrong?
anshumankmr··on GPT-6 Sol and Luna
Absolute fucking L from anthropic for not introducing a newer cheaper Haiku4.5. We have switched to GPT 5.6 luna (for some simpler workloads) and will switch to this too.
anshumankmr··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
It can be shoehorned to work with OpenAI's newer Responses format.
anshumankmr··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
a) Is this available on Bedrock? b) Does it support structured outputs? c) What about trying it out?
anshumankmr··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
Not all of them actually. The one with his name is not solved.
anshumankmr··on iPhone Duo
https://youtu.be/FJgTKx-rg18?si=LRWaCeOMC5z-dLOg very relevant video from almost 10 years back which was about Oneplus but says the same thing in much greater depth.
anshumankmr··on iPhone Duo
I think fold phones are not at least for most OEM manufacturers the bedrock of their business whereas the Mini was supposed to perform at least as well as the mainstay iPhones cause it did not do much beyond being a percentage smaller.

I on the other hand hope they kill the slim iPhone and/or bring back the Plus cause the 16 Plus was a solid deal.

anshumankmr··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
off the top of my head, Cyberpunk 2077.
anshumankmr··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
>fluid frame rates in demanding games like Mixtape.

not getting on that bandwagon but wasn't that not the most demanding game as its a just a nonstop cutscene.

anshumankmr··on Incident with Github.com
Possible if this trend continues we might have the first actual zero 9s availability.
anshumankmr··on Show HN: Mcptoon – Token-efficient MCP CLI client
I like the idea, but this seems a little too aggressive, JSON (287 tokens) — what every other MCP client returns: ~~~ [ {"name": "search_web", "description": "Search the web for information", "inputSchema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"query": {"type": "string", "description": "Search query"}, "num_results": {"type": "number", "default": 5}}, "required": ["query"]}}, {"name": "fetch_url", "description": "Fetch content from a URL", "inputSchema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"url": {"type": "string"}}, "required": ["url"]}} ] TOON (5 tokens) — what mcptoon returns:

search_web fetch_url

anshumankmr··on LLMs reward expertise
Same thing I personally am not a front end guy but I have dabbled with it in the past but I am writing a front end app and a chrome extension, but besides a few pages of code I have reviewed I really do not know what the fck is written (its for an MVP I am building) and I am feeling really conflicted as to what the fuck do I do. At work, the stuff I write has a decent mix of my code, AI code and a few things I do the old way of copying from stackoverflow and seeing what works/doesn't work.

anshumankmr··on Are AI labs pelicanmaxxing?
For an MVP I am building I asked to make a brain SVG and every attempt it has been doing it has been hillariously wrong and I had told Opus4.8/Fable to pick some SVG it could find online and it went ahead and still used its own thing that turned not too good. (full disclosure not particularly that good at front end stuff so relying heavily on Claude and Codex for it)
anshumankmr··on Codex Micro
Aah our lord and saviour Jony has not yet delivered the iPhone killer.
anshumankmr··on Codex Micro
Finally we see what Jony Ive was cooking at Open AI. The long foretold iPhone killer has finally arrived. And with the 100% perfect speech to text model that Open AI with zero flaws that works with all accents on all devices, this will finally remove the clunky keyboard.
anshumankmr··on Bonsai 27B: A 27B-Class model that runs on a phone
More and more it seems the iPhone 16 was the worst deal in history cause I don't think mine will support the upcoming foundation model from Apple or this one, does it?
anshumankmr··on A Study of Microsoft's Early 2026 Rollout of Claude Code and GitHub Copilot CLI
>281 billion tokens. Using the least expensive version of Claude Opus 4.6, which costs $5 for every million tokens, that one user alone could have cost Meta more than $1.4 million.

And that is based on the pricing that they sell a dollar for less than a dollar so the costs may be much much more.

anshumankmr··on Buried Apple feature turns an iPhone into the perfect kids' dumb phone
MDM is not the default experience, while Windows doesn't really have a better experience to boast of.
anshumankmr··on Cloudflare Drop
JAMstack for the rest of us I suppose.
anshumankmr··on Delta flight hit by firework while landing at Midway Airport on Fourth of July
Should ideally have an exclusion no fireworks/drones zone near airports esp. on such a day IDK that is just me.
anshumankmr··on Professor denounces mass AI fraud on an exam at Brown
Funny thing is in India we were ahead of the curve in this one cause most of our CS undergrad classes involved writing code by hand.

And students were ahead of the curve too, with chits, hidden iPads, phones and the classic psst-psst in the middle of exams.

anshumankmr··on GTA 6 will cost $80
But this was the case since forever. Albeit I didn't play it on a PC till 2016 and kept playing GTA San Andreas till I knew Los Santos like the back of my hand.
anshumankmr··on NSA lost access to Mythos amid Anthropic dispute
I mean graphite control rods do exist in nuclear reactors to absorb excess neutrons, preventing the fuel from going critical & making it technically safe for general use (THOUGH of course disasters have happened)
anshumankmr··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
>That said, I think we're in a narrow window of time right now where any of this matters. Prompt "engineering" and working around your tools will be over in a year or so.

How so?
