lacoolj··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
What am i even looking at here
lacoolj··on StackOverflow now gets fewer than 1000 questions a month
This might be the saddest, non-family related thing ive seen in years.

I love you stack exchange and all related sites.

All yall need to keep learning

lacoolj··on Qwenputer: A functioning, deterministic RISC-V CPU inside Qwen3.5
I 100% see the potential here and am dying to see it in 30 days

Or maybe ill join your discord and hopefully we can riff it out to get there faster

lacoolj··on Discord will soon let anyone find public server messages through Google
Low key privacy violated

All privacy is just extra layers from the public. They want to remove all those layers (which in this case is just the barrier to entry of writing API calls)

Why tho

lacoolj··on Three new discoveries in mathematics, computer science, and physics
Dont even care anymore. Its an AI discovery.

If it's human, at this point, we will see it in the title

lacoolj··on Show HN: Qwen3-4B with the AI writing tics trained out
This is cool. I would like to try using this model with Qwen3.8 or Gemma4 as a speculative decoding model. Wonder if that would help give the overall results with the higher quality output
lacoolj··on Parser Combinators
Did you use the new Claude Motion for this?
lacoolj··on How the Elizabeth Holmes documentary “You Can See Everything” is deceiving
I really wanted her to spoil this movie somewhere in this article.
lacoolj··on Chrome and Edge are removing XSLT: what breaks and what does not
Anyone else getting a 403 trying to open the page? Like...after cloudflare confirmed humanity n stuff
lacoolj··on We’re releasing Jev 1.14.0 along with experimental features for dreamers
Ooo i musta missed this in the last email

Will look for it thanks! Good call out :)

lacoolj··on We’re releasing Jev 1.14.0 along with experimental features for dreamers
I love everything about this launch post. They feel like people i would get along with.

And i already sub to jev and i think this launch is going to make me a much more loyal user now lol

> We’ve heard you loud and clear on context lengths. Jev actually supports a much longer context length than we’ve enabled in production. We chose to limit it intentionally because Jev, like all models, is less reliable on longer contexts, and this constraint encourages more effective usage patterns in prod.

> We aren’t your parents though, so while we strongly recommend limiting context length, you no longer have to:

lacoolj··on Hackers activate automatic defrosting in supermarket fridges across Europe
I had to check twice that this wasn't an Onion article.

Why are these fridges on a network? Feels like an easy fix to me but maybe I'm missing something? Unplug?

lacoolj··on ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy (2025)
This is what openai needs to be spending their compute on. Screw the stolen math proofs. Help me sleep better
lacoolj··on Uber arbitration award over Emily Normandin-Parker’s death
This is what happens when every single company we have an app for forces us to re-agree to new TOC (most this year, but last year too).

Go check your e-mail - look at all the TOC agreements you had to make recently. How many added a new (or amended an existing) arbitration clause?

Too many. And consumers are stuck either agreeing blindly/under duress, or uninstalling the app? These are apps we use and rely on, and don't have enough competition to refuse.

Lyft and Uber. Name one other competitor in the app space. Without googling it

Rant over (it wasn't even a rant at the beginning but couldn't help myself)

lacoolj··on There's a 100% Chance AI Agents Are Ruining the Internet
emdashes everywhere in this article

did we just do full-circle back to an AI writing about AI writing about AI writing ..?

lacoolj··on Spaceships (Reverse Asteroid)
now go make "Bowser: Kidnap the Princess"

Thanks!

lacoolj··on deSEC – Free Secure DNS
Is this somehow related to the other post about another service shutting down its encrypted DNS?

Weird timing?

lacoolj··on OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra
Thanks!

Jesus what are you doing that requires Sol usage so often?

Terra not enough? I know Luna isn't reliable, so that's fair.

Genuinely curious though, because I use Cursor daily and almost everything I do, highly complex or high volume, can be handled with Auto mode or Composer 2.5 (or Grok 4.6 High). So I have to assume you're doing something far more complex than what I am

lacoolj··on OpenAI begins rolling out GPT-6 Astra
Would you mind posting that code to github? I'm curious about the complexity you're describing.

If not, no worries!

lacoolj··on .name Termination
Dude, this is one of the craziest things I think I've read on HN

First, that a legit dealer could/did(does?) sell third-level domains at all (Verisign, no less) Second, that the top-level is staying available, allowing for second-levels to be bought/sniped like you mention.

If you do lawyer up and need help with legal fees, I think this would be a worthy cause.

lacoolj··on Inception-style curved map for turn-by-turn directions
Patent Pending?

Any patent attorneys here know what exactly about this is "patent-able"?

lacoolj··on Harness Engineering
Not saying this is AI-gen but it's very dense and doesn't read like something I could glean info from easily
lacoolj··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
Link is paywalled

Is this a different case from the $1.5 trillion suit against them?

lacoolj··on Meta reaches $17B settlement over social media harms to children
Oh, for sure. I have to actively prevent myself from opening one cuz once I pop I really just can't stop.
lacoolj··on A Blackstone real estate company exposed SSN digits, DOBs, addresses and more
I'm glad you did this, but be careful man. Dudes have been prosecuted (right? wtf?) for way less:

Hoping this doesn't happen to you!

lacoolj··on DiffusionGemma Technical Report
I wonder how viable it would be to apply this to Qwen3.8-27b

Right now running it locally is about 7-11 t/s for me (16GB 4080 and plenty of RAM overflow). If it doubled or possibly tripled this, thats a game-changer

lacoolj··on Protobuf has LSP support
"You're welcome" is absolutely hilarious to read from a company post.
lacoolj··on Qwen 3.8 27B
Grok 4.6 is a game-changer. I have yet to go back to other models after starting to use it. You just can't beat the price + output quality (even K3 is more expensive)
lacoolj··on Qwen 3.8 27B
Holy crap that is above and beyond

But, not animated like the Qwen 2.4T one you showed, so minus points for that
