kekqqq··on Tell HN: Gemini trains on chat history, even for subscribers (personal accounts)
Yeah, I am hugely annoyed by this. I kept paying for the subscription for a year and a half, but I think I will stop now, as I feel that the added value is very small in comparison to Claude Code or just using openrouter open models.
kekqqq··on BB(10) > Graham's Number
I fail to understand why this is interesting or relevant. The README is very non-human-generated and hard to parse or understand.
kekqqq··on Using A.I. and machine learning to decode communication of sperm whales
I think understanding the conversation without seeing what the speakers do will be very limiting. The concepts will probably need to be built from the ground https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincos_language unless we have a large amount of data on which we can train GPT
kekqqq··on The Real Luxuries In Life
The older I am, the more I appreciate slow days over the weekend, cooking, reading, and just appreciating small things at a slow pace with my gf.
kekqqq··on I wanna live an NPC life
This was always my biggest nightmare: to become an NPC. I always feel like I am capable of more than what I am currently doing, and I am trying to do more. Life is short. I want to die knowing I had a great impact on the world and I did what I could, not as an NPC.
kekqqq··on Casio F-B100W-1A
GW-M5610U-1ER enjoyer here. I am actually glad it is not connected to my phone, and I swap them with Garmin watches when I need to check the time and don't want to get any notifications.

Or going to meetups.

kekqqq··on Helsinki Hacker News Meetup
Anyone from Prague who would like to meet other active HN users?
kekqqq··on I wrote an bash enumerator because I was sick of xargs
Parallel and sed are already well-established tools.
kekqqq··on Half-Baked Product
I also know a company that fits this very well. I wonder how many such companies are out there.
kekqqq··on Kremlometr - Using NLP to spot pro-Russian propaganda in czech media comments
In theory, this could be extended to different languages, currently not supported.
kekqqq··on Kremlometr - Using NLP to spot pro-Russian propaganda in czech media comments
The precision is around 60% - 70%. It could be increased with LLMs+RAG and I've tried it already, but that would cost some $$ on this amount of comments.
kekqqq··on My spicy take on vibe coding for PMs
> Get on my level, son. It’ll be one man unicorns, new breed of CEOs running army of openclaws. I’ll have you fucking know that I’ve just launched “build me a next unicorn” prompt and 1000 agents have been running nonstop for a week.

Woah, what is that 2026? Emulating the economy using human flesh is obsolete. Just emulate the entire C-suite with the fleet of agents in the latent space of LLMs running on the orbital datacenters, powered by the same solar energy that used to keep humans warm.

kekqqq··on Tiny QR code achieved using electron microscope technology
Tested on both ink and laser. There is a small introduction of error even with the laser printer and you have another error introduced by scanning. That limits how small the QR codes can be. Paper+QR codes are feasible only for very small files.
kekqqq··on Tiny QR code achieved using electron microscope technology
Some time ago, I tried to use https://github.com/alisinabh/paperify to back up some data I had in the form of QR codes on paper. Turns out the standard printer is very limiting in terms of how many bits of data you can fit into paper if you want to read it reliably. I would guess this would be the same in their case. Maybe they will come up with a good protocol with error codes that would suit their "printer".

Anyway, I like the concept of storing QR codes on paper or other medium even if it is not really practical.

kekqqq··on WebMCP Proposal
Finally, I was hoping for this to be implemented in 2026. Rendered DOM is for humans, not for agents.
kekqqq··on ClickHouse Agentic Data Stack
This seems to me to be a great tool. I will give it a try.
kekqqq··on OracleGPT: Thought Experiment on an AI Powered Executive
I must say that the book is unrealistic, but it makes a good sci-fi story. Thanks, I read it just now in 80 min.
kekqqq··on What “The Best” Looks Like
Thanks, this might come in handy. Currently, 4 years in the business. Working for an S&P500 company at the moment, but I am considering running my own thing or joining a startup as the next stop.
kekqqq··on GitHub should charge everyone $1 more per month to fund open source
If you pay for it to gain the access, then it is not open source. In open source, everyone can access it and contribute (in theory).
kekqqq··on Show HN: DebtBomb – Make TODOs expire and automatically create Jira tickets
I am personally not a fan of TODOs, use tasks instead. TODOs are embedded in codebase - difficult to work with, that's why we have Jira where you can manipulate, filter and aggregate tasks. The only acceptable case of TODOs in my opinion is to leave them as suggestions to a future person in the case of refactor. Then you could have a task that says something like "Refactor feature xyz and solve TODOs".
kekqqq··on Stoolap: High-performance embedded SQL database in pure Rust
The project is very new, with two days of unique days with commits and 11 commits in its history. I would bet it is vibecoded.
kekqqq··on Typst
I feel that LaTeX is still a good option for broad use, as it is the default that "everyone" knows. It may happen that Typst will be forgotten in 10 years, I doubt that will happen with LaTeX.

I am not sure.

kekqqq··on Project Euler
> So, I gather that you treated your solutions as throw-away code, rather than keeping them?

I kept the code that I found clever or useful, but I had a very borderline approach to archiving my stuff in general back then. I was still in high school.

kekqqq··on Project Euler
Ah okay, I was active there 9-12 years ago, so it migh been before the crash. I remember checking it, however, 7 years ago, and I was still able to log in.
kekqqq··on Project Euler
No one tells you that they delete inactive accounts. I used to have over 300 solved problems htere. Now it is all gone, all the effort, but the skill remained of course.
kekqqq··on I refuse to date someone who uses ChatGPT
> Socrates insists that writing destroys memory and weakens the mind.

I would bet that back in days some women would get ick from men not remembering everything but writing it down.

kekqqq··on I automated our first-round hiring process with AI (30 days → 3 days)
The question is whether you would like to work for a company that doesn't want to allocate human resources for your interview. It gives the same or even worse vibe as when the interview is disorganised or borderline. Often, the interview and the short contact with people is the only thing you will have in order to decide if you would like to work with those people or not.
kekqqq··on Germany must stand firmly against client-side scanning in Chat Control [pdf]
No one should remove from us the right to privacy in chat rooms. Otherwise, PGP might become cool again, or I bet that there will be new ways to chat without mass surveillance.
kekqqq··on Show HN: Devbox – Containers for better dev environments
I had a very strong personal opinion that, unless you expect frequent migrations or horizontal scaling, Docker is overkill and could be considered as bloat in many instances. After I joined my new company, I found out about devbox, and I love it. Now I use it for almost every personal project. It helps you to make the environment reproducible without sacrificing performance.

However, I use https://www.jetify.com/devbox.
