maipen··on Binance-hacker-1029 – $5.6B stolen from Binance
What you hear on the news, it’s not usually what actually happened.
maipen··on El Niño is flooding California's coasts with the highest tides to come
What studies are these? Correlation != causation.
maipen··on The US added a record 20.2 GWh of battery storage in just 3 months
AI energy needs, will contribute to faster battery improvements than anything else.

Everything using batteries will benefit from it.

maipen··on Opus 5.5 agents discover two room-temperature magnetic semiconductor candidates
Any sort of alternative discovery, even though it may be inferior, is a great achievement made by AI; Meaning that better discoveries are possible too.
maipen··on Prompting Claude Opus 5.5
What personal skills are you referring to?
maipen··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
AI took all the effort, so I guess nobody sees value in these little pages anymore. Not even those being paid. It's actually scary.
maipen··on Cloudflare Quick Tunnels
I'm sorry to be offtopic, but this website looks like an hallucination generated by chatgpt 4.

This type of quality downgrade is scary, and it's everywhere now.

maipen··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
The hatred and jealousy for Musk is so great in this platform, that the comment section becomes a cesspool of contempt.

They all secretly want to use X because it’s very convenient to consume news and other form of content. But they refuse to make an account because of their pettiness. So they rather use third party websites.

Making an X account would take 2 minutes. But they rather just write a hate comment on HN every opportunity they can.

maipen··on XCancel service is suspended until further notice
Why is it wrong? Is it wrong to require people to use certain tools? I don’t think so. It’s the same thing as requiring dress code to go to the tribunal or anything formal.

People here overthink so much about this topic.

maipen··on Claude is only available to people over 18 years
> Kids do all of this stuff anyways, making it illegal doesn't stop it from happening.

This so completely untrue! These things are absolutely effective for the majority of kids. Just because some stand out in a crowd, doesn't mean others are doing it too.

When trying to prevent something, the more friction you add the better.

maipen··on Muse – Meta’s personal AI agent
I thinks this agents are early prototypes of what will eventually become something like jarvis from iron man.

An ai that is always at your reach and can interface with everything.

I don’t use these work apps because they don’t do anything that improves my workflow or computer experience

maipen··on I Rewrote My Back End in Go in 72 Hours and Cut My AWS Bill by 94%
Agree 100%. Also changing express to deno or bun would decrease resource usage and improve overall performance with very little changes to the codebase.

2000 req per minute is pretty low. This was nothing but an example of overengineering.

maipen··on GPT-6 Astra
Very well said. It kinda describes how unrealistic these expectations are.

Vibe coders want a model that makes them rich, without having any actual specific idea. They write a very ambiguous prompt and expect to be amazed by the result.

Very very unrealistic and wasteful.

maipen··on GPT-6 Astra
These folks are probably using crazy plugins or crazy sub agent spams. They probably just run everything on max + fast mode which is ridiculous.
maipen··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
According to Cursor CEO, it only accounts for 5% usage of cursor, so it's not a big deal at all
maipen··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
Unless you run your models and harness completely locally, you can't verify your data isn't being used.

All of these companies, and I truly mean all, stole data to train their models.

maipen··on Our decision on Cursor following its acquisition by SpaceX
Yes it does. You can either subscribe to grok directly or cursor. You have many tiers and all of them have generous usage.

Grok is a workhorse, not the smartest yet, but produces good code and follows the plan. Grok 5, which has been training since beginnig of this year, will probably be a monster. (10T/6T Param model variants)

maipen··on GLM-5.3-Flash
Hardware constrains forced this?
maipen··on Nitter and XCancel receive cease and desist notices
You are replying on HN with an account. Just make an account on X if there's content you want to see.

We got used to something being free and open, doesn't mean this is how it should be.

maipen··on GLM-5.3: Frontier coding with emergent cyber capabilities
Do you actually believe this?
maipen··on Codex in ChatGPT desktop app for Linux is now in preview
Codex app was always unoptimized , but the competitores arent great either.

However it’s still a an agent app, it gets the job done and has great tooling.

Eventually the whole thing will probably be remade in a more performant way and be announced in a blog post as one shotted by gpt 6.x

maipen··on Delta
Yeah it just feels like the whole post is unimportant.
maipen··on As AI eats the web, the internet’s collective memory is disappearing
And use AI to detect it right?
maipen··on England set to be one of the first countries to eliminate hepatitis C
Most of his criticisms have been about the timing of certain vaccines administrations.

He's not anti vax. If nobody can challenge science, then it's not science.

Vaccines continues to help us, but that doesn't mean they are perfect and don't cause side effects on certain individuals. Hopefuly the future brings us highly personalized medicine instead of a 1 size fits all.

maipen··on Don't use your phone while you poop
The bathroom is the modern day phone booth. Its the perfect place to read hacker news’s first page.
maipen··on Google Discloses $94.1B in SpaceX Stock, Marking 6% Stake
Most sane comment.

Even in the last Elon Musk interview by The Economist, he admited that it's likely China will win at the end.

The gap is so close now. Opinions matter not, the Chinese will have their own GPUs, RAM and everything they need.

Giants like google and spacex are the few that can handle it because their business is not only about shipping the best models.

maipen··on Writing by hand is good for your brain
Same.

While writting I think there's a very fine line that separates external storage from memorization. What I mean by this is that sometime we write ideas so we can avoid forgetting and be able to come back them (David Lynch), or as we write and develop a thought or subject, we are actually creating memories.

I think the point of writing stuff down is mainly organization, storage and exploration and not a memory exercise.

maipen··on DoD says soldiers over age 30 to be screened for testosterone deficiency
Since when were americans the shining light of healthy populations?

This administration is making quite questionable changes, but it’s not like the last decades did anything to address obesity and vet treatment…

Nobody is forcing these soldiers to take trt, it’s just screening ffs

maipen··on Grok Build is open source
And why are you assuming the industry converged to it when your following statement dismantles your assumption?

Spacex bought cursor, so it now has it’s agent ui which is just as good as codex + it’s multi-modal

Anthropic also has it’s own ui

Zai also launched theirs last month.

Everyone is converging back to UI.

The terminal was just a prototype, everyone knew that.

maipen··on I Learned to Read Again
Screen addiction is a funny term that made realize that it’s the perfect term for this.

I remember in a recent city blackout, me and other people , that didn't have internet or comms, would instinctively pull out their phones and open apps knowingly that there is no connection.

I wonder what’s this about??
