kgc··on The UV index is not the warm sensation of sunlight on bare skin
Also get the pressure feeling, but via eyes.
kgc··on DeepSeek 4.1 Flash
On my internal evals, this is actually performing mostly worse than 4.0 flash. Still the best bang for the buck though.
kgc··on How many of the 170k English words do you know?
Apparently I am Stephen Fry in disguise?
kgc··on SpaceX S-1
If my napkin math is right, Anthropic will make SpaceX/Xai whole on the initial investment for Colossus 2 + operating costs + a small profit by the end of the contract. No massive profits, although they may be able to fudge accounting to make it seem that way.
kgc··on Senate fails to block US involvement in Iran war
Doesn't war have to be voted on before starting it? Otherwise, you're kind of in it already.
kgc··on Cord: Coordinating Trees of AI Agents
Claude basically does this now (including deciding when to use subagents, tools, and agent teams). I built a similar thing a month ago and saw the writing on the wall.
kgc··on Launch HN: Omnara (YC S25) – Run Claude Code and Codex from anywhere
I think the native Claude and Codex apps already do this for free. They even have the voice input.
kgc··on The first sodium-ion battery EV is a winter range monster
That 10yr per grid scale battery estimate seems high since we have built many grid scale batteries as well as millions of EVs in recent history.
kgc··on If AI replaces workers, should it also pay taxes?
If all goes as assumed in this thread, there will be more taxes because there will be higher profit margins at the corporate level.
kgc··on Anthropic acquires Bun
Should we be porting our Python projects over to Javascript?
kgc··on "Vibe coder" on X claims SaaS makes $60k while app is trivially insecure
These can both be true. But, maybe in this case it's just a scam.
kgc··on Nvidia takes $1B stake in Nokia
Why is it not smart?
kgc··on Satoshi-Era Bitcoin Wallet Awakens, Moves $16.5M in BTC After 14 Years
Would be crazy if a country made Bitcoin to weather sanctions or other economic interventions.
kgc··on M5 MacBook Pro
Try Aerospace. Completely solved window management for me.

Also for dev, set up your desired environment in a native container and then just remote into it with your terminal of choice. (Personally recommend Ghostty with Zellij or Tmux)

kgc··on Notes on switching to Helix from Vim
What are your differing use cases for each editor?
kgc··on Thoughts on Mechanical Keyboards and the ZSA Moonlander
Have a Glove80 on the way.
kgc··on Trumpcard (Official US Government Website)
The $5 million option gives you privileges even better than a US citizen since you do not pay taxes on foreign income while being a US resident. They should make it an annual fee.
kgc··on Nvidia to Invest $5B in Intel
As part of this deal, is Intel doing any GPU fabrication?
kgc··on macOS Tahoe
Reminds me of Windows Vista.
kgc··on Figma spends $300k on AWS daily
Two different companies. Figma is not 37Signals.
kgc··on OpenAI charges by the minute, so speed up your audio
Impressive
kgc··on Arm to launch its own chip in move that could upend semiconductor industry
Nvidia tried to buy ARM but was blocked.
kgc··on Mitochondria as you've never seen them
So each of our cells is a habitat for a network of wiggly energy-producing worms...
kgc··on The impact of competition and DeepSeek on Nvidia
Couldn't you just copy all your conversations over?
kgc··on US will ban cancer-linked Red Dye No. 3 in cereal and other foods
Why not just ban every additive that causes cancer?
kgc··on 2400 phone providers may be shut down by the FCC for failing to stop robocalls
How do you know STOP is a strike?
kgc··on Launch HN: Integuru (YC W24) – Reverse-engineer internal APIs using LLMs
Just have the AI use the browser.
kgc··on Quantized Llama models with increased speed and a reduced memory footprint
Is there a reference for this? I was wondering the same thing.
kgc··on Swarm, a new agent framework by OpenAI
I feel like there's a motivation here to generate a lot of inference demand. Having multiple o1 style agents churning tokens with each other seems like a great demand driver.
kgc··on Why Is Light So Fast?
Simulators do have finite time steps. Without them they'd present the end of a simulation once initiated.
