guilhermeasper··on Sonnet 5.5
AI companies these days releasing models every week like Netflix episodes.
guilhermeasper··on How the Tobacco Industry Drove the Rise of Ultra-Processed Foods (2025)
I recently discovered just how much food engineering goes into products like potato chips and similar items, not only in the flavor, but also in the texture and even the sound it makes.

There's someone at the factory who basically spends their time eating samples from new batches to ensure they're exactly as expected.

guilhermeasper··on GPT-6 Astra
That was a quick pull out.
guilhermeasper··on Parque Arqueológico do Solstício
I love these random appearances of Wikipedia pages on the HN front page.

I'm Brazilian, and this is the first time I've heard of this park.

guilhermeasper··on Gemini Omni 1.1 Flash
Yes, I agree with you that the race all the AI companies are running doesn't make sense, but at the same time, there are rumors that Google has produced newer versions of Pro without releasing them to the public.

Version 3.1 has plenty of room for improvement, yet they don't seem to be giving the attention it deserves or at least communicating accordingly.

Google does anything except launch a new version of Gemini Pro.
guilhermeasper··on My server is a phone now
I had a laptop as a server for a really long time, and I also poked around using a phone for some server things (not as main server) and after some time it was unusable (the whole phone was suffering because wasn't prepared for a battery that fucked).

Anyway, my point is, maybe his phone has some mechanism similar to laptops to prevent this kind of thing, but in the end it's a phone. It's not the intended use for it.

That's what I thought when I read this. It will probably destroy this battery very quickly.

But in other hand, it is probably a pain in the ass to remove the battery and do some workarounds to make sure the phone correctly behaves without it.

guilhermeasper··on The session you cannot take with you
I came here to complain about something similar, the excessive use of box shadows on both the top and the sides. It made the text horrible to read on mobile, if it not for Firefox's Readability mode.
guilhermeasper··on How little exercise can you get away with?
Can you provide studies/sources for your claims?
guilhermeasper··on Google Chrome Installed a 4GB AI Model on Your PC
IMO If you're into tech and still use Chrome*, that's on you. If you are not, you probably don't really care unless you need extra space on your PC.

*Except in your job, since you probably obligated to use.

guilhermeasper··on Ask HN: Why are the upvote arrows so small?
That's what I used to do until I discovered the Stylus extension and created an override for it.

I think the change should apply to both (desktop and mobile).

guilhermeasper··on Ask HN: Why are the upvote arrows so small?
Since this is an action, I disagree that 10px is "fairly large". According to WCAG https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/target-size-mini...

It should be 24px minimum, we shouldn't be comparing with the title either.

guilhermeasper··on I made my phone slow on purpose
If we are talking about increase friction to avoid something, unfortunately self control is way past us.
guilhermeasper··on Git commands I run before reading any code
These commands are very useful, but adapting them to the codebase makes a huge difference.

For most, I added some filters and slightly changed the regex, and it showed the reality of the codebase (I already knew the reality, I just wanted to see if it matched, and it did).
