marknutter··on Civic Hygiene – avoid building technologies that could be used by a police state (2013)
You're not going to get far talking to political fanatics. And like you said, they very likely do not have their own houses in order.
marknutter··on Being ambitious and being a dad
Have you been diagnosed with depression at all?
marknutter··on Being ambitious and being a dad
I think that used to be the case but has dramatically shifted in the opposite direction in recent years.
marknutter··on Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion
As a counter point, I've been using CC since December and I've never really had any problems with it. It's always done exactly what I want it to and I continue to be blown away by its capabilities, regardless of which of their models I've used. I also almost never burn through my $200/m plan.
marknutter··on Grok 4.6
Haha, well said!
marknutter··on Show HN: Open-source engine running Gemma 4 26B in 2 GB RAM on any M-series Mac
Say the word and I'll build it.
marknutter··on The arguments against open source AI are bad
Begun, the ai wars have.
marknutter··on The arguments against open source AI are bad
Better a private company in the US than an authoritarian communist country like China.
marknutter··on Can a MUD evaluate LLMs? A $99 proof of concept
I'm building this exact thing, actually. Intelligence determines which model powers a mob/npc. Getting neat results so far!
marknutter··on Can a MUD evaluate LLMs? A $99 proof of concept
I'm actually building a MUD powered in part by LLMs so this is very timely. It never occurred to me to use it to evaluate LLMs, which is a really neat idea. I'll be keeping an eye on this project.
marknutter··on John C. Dvorak has died
I loved listening to him on TWiT and other shows/podcasts. RIP, what a legend.
marknutter··on Perfection Is Not Over-Engineering
Reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where he hires a contractor to work on his kitchen and ends up with twice as many cabinets as he had before.
marknutter··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
I saw nothing wrong with the number of cuts, seems very in line with other commercials like this. I would not have been able to tell this was made by ai had I not known it going into it.
marknutter··on $100 AI Music Video: Claude Fable 5 vs. GPT-5.6 Sol
How about the full 360 head turn in the first video. Nightmare fuel.
marknutter··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration (2023)
Try Trazadone. I've struggled with sleep my whole life and now, after 45 years, I can finally say I have the problem thoroughly licked.
marknutter··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
This an inspirational comment, thanks for posting it! I love that more and more people are being enabled (or re-enabled in your case) as software developers thanks to ai.
marknutter··on GPT-5.6
It honestly baffles me how people can ask a question like this and get such a wide spectrum of answers in response. It's all so much based on vibes and anecdotal evidence. I've not really noticed much of a difference in capability since Opus 4.6 and I've used a ton of different models. They all work pretty damn well for me.
marknutter··on We built a persistent agent memory layer on Elasticsearch with 0.89 recall
At this point building a memory tool for your ai agents is like a right of passage.
marknutter··on The AI Hate Progression
Ai is enabling millions of people to create actually valuable things they didn't have a chance in hell creating just a few years ago. And of course there's a an entire legion of self righteous tech elitists who want nothing more than this insanely enabling technology to be stigmatized along with anyone who dares use it.
marknutter··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
Yeah, and that time we sacrificed nearly 1 million of our own citizens to end slavery.
marknutter··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
> HN has a higher proportion of AI promoters than AI skeptics

You're be using a different HN than me, or you and I only pay attention to one side or the other.

marknutter··on Show HN: An 8-bit live gamecast for baseball
And it looks fantastic.
marknutter··on SpaceX to buy Cursor for $60B
Do you just.. never swear?
marknutter··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
Yeah, I find the back and forth with Claude is often better than trying to front load everything in a massive and detailed prompt.
marknutter··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
Proper hooks prevent this from happening
marknutter··on Claude Fable is relentlessly proactive
I think it might be because people like to own and drive cars.
marknutter··on Show HN: Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes
I get the joke, and I do appreciate it. I shouldn't have been so flippant in my comment, I was more just pushing back on people who disparage others for using ai to create websites.
marknutter··on OpenCV 5 Is Here: The Biggest Leap in Years for Computer Vision
It could be the best written, most informative article they've ever read, but anti-ai folks would dismiss it as slop the moment someone told them it was written by ai.
marknutter··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
This is very reminiscent of the "everyone's a Russian bot" era of social media, where everyone would just lob that accusation at people without any real proof.
marknutter··on MiMo-v2.5-Pro-UltraSpeed: 1T model with 1000 tokens per second
I dunno man, the slot machine pays out like 99% of the time for me.
