deepvibrations··on I'm addicted to being useful
Was about to comment the same till I found your comment.

I have this compulsion too, and did some deep-diving at some point through therapy. I found that really it's just likely conditioning from family/society.

If you are generally praised for helping out whilst growing up and this is when you receive a lot of love/attention, it's natural to build pathways that favour this and thus behavioural patterns.

deepvibrations··on Eat Real Food
Definitely possible - I used to get 100g easily. Simple example would be some granola (with lots of nuts/seeds) with soya milk for breakfast, big tofu scramble for lunch, poki bowl with lots of veg, edamame and tempeh for dinner. You could probably just do this with big portions to get to 130 tbh.
deepvibrations··on Sergey Brin's Unretirement
Yes, I have experienced exactly the same with friends and find it bizarre - essentially having total freedom seems to scare some people. Is it because we have been told what to do our whole life and so the thought of having to determine our own destiny each day is too much for some?
deepvibrations··on Developers can now submit apps to ChatGPT
Also cancelled - it does feel like commoditisation is here now for LLMs. Recently, I've found Gemini & DeepSeek as good or better at 95% of what GPT can do now, so I can no longer justify paying for it.

No, I think you are right- they are not common in any way yet and hopefully will stay that way. Although with the fly-tipping issues here, if it could be done in an anonymous way, I would actually welcome the camera's that detect people dropping rubbish!

There are quite a few new camera types rolling out in the UK, summary:

4D AI speed/behaviour cameras (Redspeed Centio): multi-lane radar + high-res imaging; flags speeding, phone use, no seatbelt, and can check plates against DVLA/insurance databases.

AI “Heads-Up” camera units (Acusensus): elevated/overhead infrared cameras (often on trailers/vans) to spot phone use and seatbelt/non-restrained occupants.

New digital fixed cameras (Vector SR): slimmer, more discreet spot-speed cameras (sometimes with potential add-on behaviour detection, depending on setup).

Smart motorway gantry cameras (HADECS): enforce variable speed limits on motorways from gantries.

AI-assisted litter cameras: council enforcement for objects/litter thrown from vehicles

The transcript maybe says more about your mental health than the model.

Sure it struggles, maybe it's rubbish. But reading your conversation, it seems you have a lot of pent up anger you are taking out on some lines of code. As someone who has done a lot of therapy, maybe consider getting some yourself tbh, it will honestly help you a lot in life!

deepvibrations··on Show HN: Gemini Pro 3 imagines the HN front page 10 years from now
Love it! Favourite comment:

"Why is anyone still using cloud AI? You can run Llama-15-Quantum-700B on a standard Neural-Link implant now. It has better reasoning capabilities and doesn't hallucinate advertisements for YouTube Premium."

deepvibrations··on Fungus in Chernobyl nuclear disaster zone has mutated to 'feed' on radiation (2024)
Wow, this is impressive. It's also the exact storyline from the animated series 'Common Side Effects', a really good series that feels more like watching a feature film.
deepvibrations··on Eating stinging nettles
Interesting - never tried catnip tea, so if I see some, i'll give it a try!
deepvibrations··on Eating stinging nettles
No need to apologise, oat/almond milk very easily available (or made in a blender as I do!)
deepvibrations··on Eating stinging nettles
Are other greens really much more tasty? Either way, many superfoods are not eaten solo - you can mix with basil for a lovely pesto for example, or simply add some nettle to your normal stew/soup for added nutrients.

I have nettle tea every morning and now thinking about the standard black tea, I see that as "bland/boring". I admit it didn't appeal at first, but now I love the earthy taste, so maybe it's slightly acquired taste?

deepvibrations··on Floss Before Brushing
So long as you leave a gap of 45 minutes, you're still better off cleaning After breakfast as far as I understand.

Nimai Delgado, Karl Bruder, Torre Washington, Zack Belknap and many others are disproving the "vegan protein is hard" myth.
deepvibrations··on Jaguar Land Rover hack cost UK economy an estimated $2.5B
Hehe, things only an American would say!

-> Reading this as a European with one small electric car, the idea that two V8 vehicles could be considered the perfect vehicle choice is quite out there!

deepvibrations··on Meow.camera
Knowing this, is there are a reason why you Aren't vegan?

This is rubbish, if you follow the people on the floatilas, they literally show you supplies in some videos. Not hard for Israelis to remove supplies and video this is it?

You are going to stop food, water, and fuel to these human animals in Gaza." Former Defense Minister Gallant

deepvibrations··on Aphantasia and Psychedelics
Curious - do people see a picture perfect apple when they close their eyes?

If you ask me to imagine a red apple, i can, but i have the image somewhere other than my actual vision... If i close my eyes I can't manipulate that space to show the apple.

deepvibrations··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
They are becoming more common, as it's very simple to make them GF- you can simply add an enzyme that eats up the gluten. Bristol Beer Factory's whole range is GF and very tasty (my local brewery).
deepvibrations··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)
Very cool idea, accurate for London & Bristol.
deepvibrations··on Claude Fraud? Or Just an Anomaly?
"While conducting LLM safety research, we discovered a significant anomaly with Claude 4 models accessed via API: requests for this premium model appear to be consistently served by the older Claude 3.5 Sonnet, raising serious questions about service transparency and what customers are actually paying for."
deepvibrations··on CoreWeave signs $6.3B order with Nvidia to cover unsold cloud capacity thru 2032
Basically boost the ponzi and ensure it continues as long as possible.
deepvibrations··on Google AI Overview made up an elaborate story about me
The law needs to stand up and make an example here, otherwise this will just continue and at some point a real disaster will occur due to AI.
deepvibrations··on I Don't Like "AI"
Sam Altman saying we are all stochastic parrots says more about him and his view on the world more than anything.
deepvibrations··on We mapped Jeffrey Epstein's social network. Here's what we found
Yes, defend the narcissistic pedophile because "democrats bad too". As an outsider, it is scary to watch the mass brainwashing that happens in the USA and the power of the media there.
deepvibrations··on How Tesla is proving doubters right on why its robotaxi service cannot scale
Q: How can I get to the gym and use the treadmill without having to walk all the way to the bus stop?
deepvibrations··on The hamburger-menu icon today: Is it recognizable?
Yeah, I assumed the standard was actually top-right...

I'd be interested in people's thoughts about which side is best, or if it just doesn't matter.

deepvibrations··on The magic of through running
Imagine if Elon had put all that money to work on mass transit solutions instead of cars for each and every person, along with tunnels for those cars. Of course, you will never make the same riches, but interesting to imagine how different the impact might be.
deepvibrations··on Cuttlefish 'talk' with their arms, study reveals
I don't consider it, as the reduction in dairy consumption will likely happen over many years and as demand dies out, farmers simply reduce their dairy herd appropriately and repurpose the land.
deepvibrations··on Cuttlefish 'talk' with their arms, study reveals
That's great for you. However, animals do not have a voice, despite being intelligent and feeling the same emotions as us. I am sure if you saw somebody harming a mentally disabled person who could not communicate, you would try to stop them. In the same way, I don't see any harm in being a voice for the animals.

For all we know, in the future we may look back on modern animal agriculture/ factory farming in the same way as we look back on slavery now.

If I can reduce harm in the world to sentient beings at the cost of something tasting slightly different then I will do my best to go down that path personally.
