dankwizard··on Ask HN: When and why did you start believing in God?
Good story mate but next time try and read the subject of the thread before you waffle on with your own blog post none of us subscribe to.

dankwizard··on Ask HN: Best worldwide / classic phone games?
If you're wanting to actually improve over time, you'll have to drop a few. There's not enough time in the day to be a master of all trades. I'd suggest spending more time on Chess - Do a small learning component where you read a book or do some opening theory, then do a portion doing puzzles to learn tactics and spotting common positions in Chess games, then finally play some 10 minute games to put into action what you have practiced.
dankwizard··on "Subligence" – proposed coinage for LLM "intelligence"
No thanks.

What an unaesthetic word. If you made it catchy, sure, but "subligence"? Try again

dankwizard··on Vivaldi 8.0
I would like to use Vivaldi but from my understanding they harvest just as much user data as Chrome. I'll stick to Brave for now.
dankwizard··on Tell HN: Google banned Railway's account. Everything down
Agree. The author of that article took 0 responsbility and despite the warnings of "Hey, AI with power in prod is a bad idea" thought "This wouldn't happen to me!" and then when it does "HOW COULD IT DO THIS?!"
dankwizard··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
Wouldn't be a thread about the tech that is changing the landscape for businesses across nearly every discipline without a pelican svg.
dankwizard··on How many e's are in strawberry?
Dunning-Kruger vibes from this blog post.

Look into how LLMs work and it's pretty clear why these character counting scenarios often fail if not invoking Thinking/Python Scripting.

dankwizard··on How ChatGPT serves ads
Really well written, technical post. Good read.

dankwizard··on Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one
Look into G2A - Nothing illegal about it.
dankwizard··on Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one
This one isn't rocket science.

Framework isn't as mass market as your typical laptop competitors. You can make an assumption a purchaser of framework is tech minded / informed shopper.

You can also see their prebuilt option is Windows only.

When going DIY, adding Windows is between $225 and $339 depending on edition.

Most informed shoppers and techheads also know you can go to key selling websites and get completely legal and working Windows keys for <$20.

Why would people volunteer to pay 1000% more?

dankwizard··on An AI agent deleted our production database. The agent's confession is below
This post is so funny.

Firstly, blaming AI at the same time using AI to construct your whole post - Priceless. Loving it.

Secondly - This entire article reeks of "It's not our fault, you guys have failed us at every step" when in reality you let AI run reckless.

I don't want to say deserved it but like, you knew the risks,

dankwizard··on The RAM shortage could last years
This feels like an oxymoron

He is affiliated with Vercel though
dankwizard··on Aliens.gov will be running as a WordPress multisite
Good to see some actual acknowledge from the beings living amongst us. The constant denying is getting frustrating.
dankwizard··on [dead]
Sounds like you're using it for all the wrong reasons. For reference, I hate AI too, but just because I hate it doesn't mean I can't also say it's going to be extremely beneficial to us and only going to get better & more adopted.

dankwizard··on Tell HN: Docker pull fails in Spain due to football Cloudflare block
What right exactly? I don't think there's a human right for access to all IP addresses.
dankwizard··on Ask HN: What should I do with my app? 130 downloads 3 real subscribers
Maybe you should create an app that people want.

From Google it looks like PairCare is to do with period tracking. There are already a plethora of apps that do this, a large number of which are free. I'm almost certain it is also a part of the Apple Health stack.

You're an unknown entering into a very large market with a vibe coded SaaS - This isn't going to work.

dankwizard··on Show HN: A typing trainer that uses real code snippets
It's 2026, instead of code it should be common prompts people use for their agents.
dankwizard··on Curious. anyone here allow agents to make purchase decisions of >$100?
Just for stock market. It can't free type offers but has a few different limits (MINI = 1000, MED = 2500, MAX = 7000). Just for day trading with speculation. Up around 21% but also fully prepared to check it and be sitting at $0 due to my vibe coding.
dankwizard··on Philly courts will ban all smart eyeglasses starting next week
It's why I use the classic camera-in-the-pen-in-the-shirt-pocket.
dankwizard··on PC Gamer recommends RSS readers in a 37mb article that just keeps downloading
Not a problem for me (Unlimited data plan, 1000/40).

The website is around PC Gaming - users with the top of the line machines and fast internet. I don't see a problem with websites catering to their audience?

Why should I get a worse lower quality website full of text and nothing visual because somebody else has limited data?

dankwizard··on Astral to Join OpenAI
OpenAI continue to send mixed messaging.

"Our AI can do anything a human can do, better, faster, cheaper" -> Buys a product instead of asking their AI to just make it.

Really doesn't give me confidence in your product!!!!

dankwizard··on I built a programming language using Claude Code
We're in the process of migrating our entire code base over to this new language (One of the big 4 banks) - Keen to add early adopters to our resumes : - )
dankwizard··on Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting
Well were they interesting?
dankwizard··on Ask HN: Most beautiful personal blog UI you have ever seen?
The amount of people promoting their own LLM generated blog has derailed this thread
dankwizard··on Claude is an Electron App because we've lost native
With today's processors and speeds, there really is no difference in performance of these Electron apps vs Native and anyone disagreeing just dislikes the JS ecosystem
