kvgr··on Malus – Clean Room as a Service
If the AI could do good refactor of OS project, remove unused code/features and make the code more efficient. Than we really would be out of jobs :D
kvgr··on Colon cancer now leading cause of cancer deaths under 50 in US
There is going to be some big AHA moment tied so couple food practices. Like washing chicken in chlorine or something. I wonder how are the stats in other developed countries. The title says US.
kvgr··on The MacBook Neo
This is imho great MB for traveling, you want to edit some pictures, read/write and edit some code without being afraid of you 3K MB Pro getting damaged or stolen? Great!

I want to do more travel and photography, with occasional light work on my own project. And this feels like better option than iPad, because i can use Xcode and android Studio. And for +- the same price.

kvgr··on The MacBook Neo
But for any real work, like coding/photo/video you just pick Pro with parameters you want and you are good. For office work you can choose air and for low level students or whatever you can have neo. You still basically know what you need, without needing to try really hard to understand it.
kvgr··on Yann LeCun's AI startup raises $1B in Europe's largest ever seed round
There will be no corporate taxes for a long time, so alls good.
kvgr··on The engine of Germany's wealth is blocking its future
What Imperial will if you dont mind asking? That they stoped buying gas from country that attacked europe and tries to overthrow democracy in other EU countries? Their delusion was in turning off nuclear... and it was exactly what russia wanted. By funding anti nuclear protests in EU, and selling more and more gas to make Europe attached. So when Russia does something bad, it is harder to sanction them. What happend in Germany is real political failure in seeing this, maybe even treason.
kvgr··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
Very small app for framing photos on Mac/ipad/iphone. I know some web alternatives. But when i wanted to add borders to photos I took to upload to IG i used imagemagick. I want to make something stylish(no tacky borderds), also usable for batch processing. I have prorotype and need to fix some issues.

The russian bots are here too downvoting? Great.
kvgr··on Fentanyl makeover: Core structural redesign could lead to safer pain medications
The chinese factories and cartels can hop on this new formula not.
kvgr··on Fentanyl makeover: Core structural redesign could lead to safer pain medications
I mean that is great. But the overuse of opioids in Us is crazy. I am from europe, had broken arm, sprained ankles, broken fingers, root canals done, appendix operation and never got anything stronger than ibuprofen. Hopefully, the prescription craziness is getting better.

Not Israel, but Russia - good old KGB honeytrap.
kvgr··on The Sideprocalypse
I think developers overestimate the amount of people who want to create app. My friends are lawyers, doctors, musicians, Pr, sales and they really dont care about creating their own apps or software. They use their iPhones for calls and Instagram.
kvgr··on AI doesn’t reduce work, it intensifies it
Also i didn't read that book, if there are similarities in language it must be accident or claude steering me to what he knows. And if its the interpreter design, than it probably if from that book. And they told us, that they don't memorise the material.
kvgr··on AI doesn’t reduce work, it intensifies it
Yes, but you can combine the solutions. Aka, you know what you are working on.You can make it much faster. Or you builds something and learn from it.

I think there will be a lot of slop and a lot of usefull stuff. But also, what i did was just an experiment to see if it is possible, i don't think it is usable, nor do i have any plans to make it into new language. And it was done in less than 3 hours total time.

So for example, if you want to try new language features. Like let's say total immutability, or nullability as a type. Then you can build small language and try to write a code in it. Instead of writing it for weeks, you can do it in hours.

kvgr··on AI doesn’t reduce work, it intensifies it
Oh, thank you for informing me.
kvgr··on AI doesn’t reduce work, it intensifies it
Just because i wanted it to. I made some design choices that i found interesting.
kvgr··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
Yes, it is horrible. But what is the alternative? Does Hamas discriminate where do their rockets go? Lets stop all the wars and live in peace, i really wish that. But hamas does not want it, and it holds gaza as a hostage.

I just build a programming language in couple of hours, complete with interpreter with claude code. I know nothing about designing and implementing programming languages: https://github.com/m-o/MoonShot.
kvgr··on I got bored and had Claude design and implement a programming language
So basically, one day I a mere android/kotlin developer was bored and started to talk to Claude about programming languages. In couple of hours the specification was born. And in about 60 minutes claude implemented it. And it kinda works? I really dont know, because i didnt yet wrote any code in it. It doesnt even have STD lib. And I am not even sure it does what claude says it does. But it processes the code and spits result. Which for me personally is crazy.
kvgr··on Irish man with valid US work permit held in ICE detention for five months
I think once you get citizenship, you are forever taxed on your world income. So it makes sense for some people to not do it.
kvgr··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
There is big difference between somebody starting a war to destroy you and you fight back. Vs people want to live free and their own government kills them so they can be in power.
kvgr··on Over 36,500 killed in Iran's deadliest massacre, documents reveal
No thing wrong with. They fought Hamas.

"People who were fine with it stayed" surely you must be joking right?
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Yes the reason is that the countries cant compete on business infrastructure and taxes. It is basically a cartel.
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Well, isn’t the EU supposed to watch out for this? Taxe frauds with VAT are a big deal. And nothing gets done. But people making peanuts will get taxed to the tits…
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Yes, but some companies need employees on paper. When they do custom based software and want to apply for a job, there is often a number of heads you need to employ.
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Yeah, you should pay taxes from where the company is run. Basically if you have one person company. In a place it “does” business. But i want estonian company for the ease of doing business and for to hold profit, for reinvestment later. I dont want to deal with spanish/german authorities if i move around and want to grow business. No government competition is what they want. Because they cant win in square fight.
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Well the slovak goverment alone stole billions of euros. Stole. Imagine if we didnt have to pay all the farm subsidies to keep 5 goats in mountains. Or to pay hungary for lookout towers in the middle of nowhere.
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Yes the issue is i form company in Estonia because i like their non distribution taxes. Or in czechia because i live there. Then move to spain. And they decide to tax the company in spain… with high taxes.
kvgr··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Yes please. The whole centre of interest. Form company in Estonia, move yourself to Spain. But hey lets tax the company in spain :D
