clayhacks··on How Protein Took over the World
I’ve definitely noticed this in my diet. I am a gym rat so I eat a lot of protein, but I’ve seen an uptick in other protein focused snacks and foods around. At my office the protein shakes in the fridge disappear pretty quick compared to the soda, perhaps due to folks who want to get more protein easily more than other gym rats
clayhacks··on Letterboxd Is Up for Sale, and A24, Sony and the New York Times Are Bidding
Is there an ATproto or activity pub version of letterboxd? I like A24, but not sure how much I trust Sony or the NYT to run it reasonably
clayhacks··on Introducing System One Models and Jev
I feel like should be Cario Amodei. The D to C flip a rotation of the M to W flip
clayhacks··on Jellyfin 12.0
Part of this upgrade was improving the database, with the end goal of supporting other database engines like Postgres and MySQL. Unclear exact timeline of proper support but it’s on the way

clayhacks··on Ox Alpha
Red teaming is good hackers within an organisation intentionally having the org itself to find vulnerabilities. Also a known way to convince a model to do offensive cyber work
clayhacks··on fx :Tiny, open, native coding agent.
I mean I think the only chance you lose this is if curl and bash are obsoleted and replaced by one world order get and execute
clayhacks··on Why I've tracked every single piece of clothing I've worn for three years
Wait like you never wash them and just buy new shirts every 2 weeks?
clayhacks··on Google is making private AI practical with homomorphic encryption
Do you think that’s like a fundamental limit or something that will improve with time and new algorithms?
clayhacks··on DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731
Why wasn’t this run against ARC-AGI-3? Or did it fail to solve anything?
clayhacks··on Does creatine make you smarter?
How much water are you drinking the rest of the day? Creatine in theory makes you more thirsty such that you should be drinking more water throughout the day
clayhacks··on Jellyfin founder Andrew leaves team
There’s some alternatives. I like JellyTV, pretty smooth UI. Streamyfin has a beta for the TV as well, and continues to improve. But yeah definitely some of the tougher part of the ecosystem
clayhacks··on Speech Recognition and TTS in less than 500kb
I made a little python wrapper around it to serve an HTTP endpoint that’s OpenAI/elevenlabs compatible https://github.com/clayrosenthal/bootlegger
clayhacks··on Storm clouds gather over America's financial supremacy
The article doesn’t mention it, but related is the global share of the US dollar as the reserve currency has been on a steady decline. Between that and the new payment structures discussed in this article we are rapidly approaching an era without American control on global financial systems. Which is a significant lever for soft power and non-military interventions
clayhacks··on Steam Controller Auto-Charge – pilot to magnetic charging puck using CV
No? It says “pilots the controller” which is fairly vague of the cause and effects going on. I think a real human would clarify the controller motors being used to physically move the controller.
clayhacks··on Hyundai buys Boston Dynamics
Getting to a cheap household helper robot requires building the expensive one. I don’t think Boston dynamics believes any reasonable consumer would buy their atlas robot, but by building it and scaling its production in industrial use cases they will learn things that make building a cheaper one much easier. And they will have built some factories to mass produce them. It’s not something that will be in everyone’s home next year, but sooner or later the robot hardware and robot intelligence will both be cheap enough to be accessible by average people (at least in the developed world)
clayhacks··on Separate the cord from the device
I’m a big fan of this notion. My hot water dispenser has a magnetic power dongle kinda like macbooks MagSafe, but bulkier [0]. Ideally something like that would be more standardized across appliances the way some of the other three prong power cords are.

clayhacks··on OpenAI models coming to Amazon Bedrock: Interview with OpenAI and AWS CEOs
Just use litellm or any-llm if you want to convert to OpenAI format. They did used to have bespoke per model interfaces that were way worse
clayhacks··on Our eighth generation TPUs: two chips for the agentic era
Yeah trainium and inferentia. They’re just not nearly as well supported on the software level. Google has already made sure this new generation will be supported by vllm, sglang, etc. Amazons chips barely support those and only multiple versions back. Super under invested in (at least on the open source side)
clayhacks··on Claude Design
Yeah the spy network is just all these people living in a 7 mile radius of each other (San Francisco) and have lots of overlap in social circles
clayhacks··on WiiFin – Jellyfin Client for Nintendo Wii
Yeah, I’ve been beta testing the Streamyfin tvOS app. it’s now about on par with the official tvOS client, but feels like it’s making more progress regularly
clayhacks··on Tax Wrapped 2025
There definitely is a cap. I believe once you make more than $176k you stop being taxed for that
clayhacks··on Nothing Ever Happens: Polymarket bot that always buys No on non-sports markets
Someone needs to make a market on whether or not this is profitable
clayhacks··on An AI robot in my home
I wanna do this but with a locally running LLM. They’re getting better and better. Can’t wait for something like Taalas to ship custom LLM hardware for personal use
clayhacks··on VitruvianOS – Desktop Linux Inspired by the BeOS
Ok maybe I’m too young, but what is BeOS? Everyone here is linking other alternatives, but no one’s linked to the original BeOS. Or is it gone now?
clayhacks··on Reports of code's death are greatly exaggerated
Yeah it’s gonna make the bar for good enough here super easy to meet and people will have less reasons to look around outside
clayhacks··on FBI is buying location data to track US citizens, director confirms
Yeah, if you had any faith in these private companies to not bend over backwards for the feds, I have a bridge in San Francisco to sell you
clayhacks··on Launch HN: Chamber (YC W26) – An AI Teammate for GPU Infrastructure
No concrete pricing anchors makes this basically useless. Give some estimates for various team sizes even if it’s not exactly what you will charge
clayhacks··on Humanoid robot: The evolution of Kawasaki’s challenge
Yeah I think there’s plenty of room for more bolted arm robots, it’s just similar to the humanoids they need better AI. There’s also room for more optimisation on the entire system design around more specialized robots. I think some industries work really well for that kind of revamp, and have already begun doing so. Others are waiting for the cost curve to fall for it to be worth the investment
clayhacks··on Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics
I’d definitely feel much better if most cameras in the world were replaced by LIDAR. I feel like it would be much tougher to have a flawless facial recognition program with LIDAR alone
clayhacks··on Trump's global tariffs struck down by US Supreme Court
No the consumers paid the price of the tariffs. These refunds are going to businesses who just passed the price along
