culopatin··on New 'Circadian' Subtype of Depression Affecting 1 in 4 Patients
Also I was depressed when I was a night owl and now I’m not. As another anecdote. Old me would’ve thought I was a night owl and would’ve made a comment like OP. But I was not in a good place. I became a night owl because I let blue light change my schedule.
culopatin··on New iPad mini
Scroll text in 60 and 120Hz. Can’t read while scrolling at 60Hz. It’s not movies what makes you notice
culopatin··on Apple introduces the new 14-inch MacBook Pro with M6
And it’s still working amazing. Other than trying to run an agent locally I haven’t ran into any limiting bottlenecks
culopatin··on Show HN: SimCity, but with Permits
I’d love to play this on a flight lol
culopatin··on Ask HN: How to deal with shipping AI-written code you don't understand?
I do the same but I find that sometimes there are little bugs everywhere just because idk, the implementation left a query outside a transaction and made two instead of one, a very minor thing. Or a sequence of events is out of order and it matters. And you don’t see that while abstracted away.
culopatin··on Tell HN: Google Argon on a Pro subscription is worthless
At least it picked that, mine goes to flash lite
culopatin··on ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy (2025)
Ha! Same. But it’s not sustainable. I need the long reset for the short one to work
culopatin··on Pi 1.0
I gave up on these things thinking that you always needed an API. How does it work with subscriptions?
culopatin··on People who can't picture anything are rewriting the science of imagination
Aphantastic people of HN. Do you struggle remembering things in detail? My gfs family is all aohantastic and they just realized that it’s why they tell stories that are all a bit inaccurate. They remember the story but when placement, colors, shapes, etc come up, they can’t really tell you what it was. Comes up in weird ways
culopatin··on People who can't picture anything are rewriting the science of imagination
I can personally watch a movie in my head, eyes open and I’m super not artistic but very engineer oriented. To the point that I realized I should be dropping software for mech eng
culopatin··on Google has abandoned Google News?
I’ve never heard someone claim windows peaked at 8, at least 7.
culopatin··on New Framework Desktop Option with AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 and 192GB Memory
What’s stopping you from building that yourself instead of having to go through Framework?
culopatin··on Mayor Mamdani Says Landlords Can't Use AI Images to Advertise
Square footage is very much a lie in San Francisco as well
culopatin··on Ask HN: Is it just me, or is software buggier across the board?
Yes, I initially jumped from Android to iPhone back in 2019 or so because I felt like the experience was much more stable and it just worked, smooth, no issues, kinda boring but in a good adult way. Now every interaction makes me want to throw the phone out the window. If it’s not just blank, the keyboard doesn’t come up, the navbar in Safari sometimes is there, sometimes it’s a blank rectangle, etc. “ask your developer to update the apps to run well in iOS 26” is such a garbage response. We didn’t need to break everything just to have some glass simulations that make everything slower and add no value.

Google Home: holy shit dude. It was a mostly working thing. Absolutely unusable with Gemini. Will get the transcript right 15% of the time. Can’t even ask for the weather.

Roku: Netflix playing in the background but I’m still in the main menu.

I can go on

culopatin··on Argentina court recognizes two goldfish as sentient beings with rights
Well someone has to sue first no? The courts don’t go out telling people what to do. They react to claims.
culopatin··on Migrating a production AI agent to GPT-5.6: 2.2x faster, 27% cheaper
Maybe if instead we stopped engaging they would wonder why
culopatin··on Why American ambulance rides are so expensive
You’re getting in an ambulance, not calling a cab. You’re probably unconscious, maybe at least disoriented, overwhelmed, concerned about what’s happening more than doing math. Also you’re there on the floor bleeding, what’s your alternative? “Nah don’t worry, I’ll figure out this exposed fracture in the uber, I got points with them so it’s cheaper”?
culopatin··on Why American ambulance rides are so expensive
Even with insurance all these companies will fight with each other to find excuses to say it’s not their responsibility and send you letters non stop saying things like “oh you paid for the van, I’m just the nurse, it’s separate” or “oh yeah you paid for the hallway in the hospital but the ct scan person is a contractor, you owe them 3k”. System could not be more broken
culopatin··on Why American ambulance rides are so expensive
Yeah my mom got billed 9k a few months ago from SFO to one of the south sf hospitals. Neck brace and supervision was all that was needed. Basically an expensive uber ride.
culopatin··on Ryanair Passenger Sucked Toward Broken Window After Midair Engine Failure
I wonder if Ryanair is going to charge them for being oversized to fit through their designated window.
culopatin··on Canada's only watchmaking school still ticking after 80 years
Can one end up working for TAG out of this for example? What does it take for that career ladder to happen?
culopatin··on Canada's only watchmaking school still ticking after 80 years
Is this still a viable career?
culopatin··on Tell HN: Who wants to be hired" posts outpace "Who's hiring" 2 to 1
What I noticed lately is that everyone wants a principal or staff SWE. So much that I even think the titles are getting diluted.
culopatin··on Automated Accounting, Financial Reporting and Tax Management
I think this should be a show HN? But if not a few things anyway. Your comments show as dead, just so you know. Idk why. Your website is unusable in my phone, crawls to a stop, maybe something in the complex background if rendered? Idk. I’m interested but can’t find out more info because of this lol.
culopatin··on Internal Combustion Engine (2021)
Lifters also often drain while sitting and valve lash is greater at start until they get slapped a few times
culopatin··on GLM-5.2 – How to Run Locally
How’s running models with AMD these days?
culopatin··on Slate EV truck starts at $24,950
And yet half what they charge in some areas of California
culopatin··on Slow breathing modulates brain function and risk behavior
Makes sense to me. The only way I can dip in a snow melt lake is if I slow down my breathing, slow my thinking and dip.
culopatin··on The frontier is open-source today
How much of why glam 5.2 is good today is due to open source contributions? Is the two-way-street-ness of it already pushing it to be better or so far it’s mostly a nice to have?
culopatin··on Ask HN: Want to build something open source on nights and weekends together?
Would help to know what fields you’re interested in or what problems you want to solve. No one is going to have much consistency or accountability working on things they don’t care about
