maz1b··on Nvidia to buy assets from Groq for $20B cash
Damn. Was hoping Groq and Cerebras would give the giants a run for their money.
maz1b··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I'm working on MedAngle, the world's first agentic AI Super App for current and future doctors. Invite only, 100k+ users, 150m+ questions solved, tens of billions of seconds spent studying smarter.

Didn't expect to find something this wonderful on HN!

Good start to the morning.

maz1b··on Liquid Glass Is Cracked, and Usability Suffers in iOS 26
I definitely agree. Something about it just seems off.
maz1b··on Svelte’s characteristics that likely contribute most to improved performance
Would like to see how this holds up with a up-to-date version of Svelte/Sveltekit. Also, missing the comparison of Solid/SolidStart.
maz1b··on Cerebras systems raises $1.1B Series G
oops, typo! S and D are next to each other on the keyboard. thanks for pointing this out
maz1b··on Leaked Apple M5 9 core Geekbench scores
Where's the M4 Ultra/M4 Extreme?

M5 Ultra/M5 Extreme/M5 Super?

maz1b··on Cerebras systems raises $1.1B Series G
Cerebras has been a true revelation when it comes to inference. I have a lot of respect for their founder, team, innovation, and technology. The colossal size of the WS3 chip, utilizing DRAM to mind-boggling scale, it's definitely ultra cool stuff.

I also wonder why they have not been acquired yet. Or is it intentional?

I will say, their pricing and deployment strategy is a bit murky and unclear. Paying $1500-$10,000 per month plus usage costs? I'm assuming that it has to do with chasing and optimizing for higher value contracts and deeper-pocketed customers, hence the minimum monthly spend that they require.

I'm not claiming to be an expert, but as a CEO/CTO, there were other providers in the market that had relatively comparable inference speed (obviously Cerebras is #1), easier onboarding, better response from people that worked there (all of my experience with Cerebras have been days/weeks late or simply ignored). IMHO, if Cerebras wants to gain more mindshare, they'll have to look into this aspect.

maz1b··on Demand for human radiologists is at an all-time high
As a doctor and full stack engineer, I would never go into radiology or seek further training in it. (obviously)

AI is going to augment radiologists first, and eventually, it will start to replace them. And existing radiologists will transition into stuff like interventional radiology or whatever new areas will come into the picture in the future.

maz1b··on Cloudflare Email Service: private beta
It's unfortunate that email hosting and email infrastructure can really be done only well by major players. The days of people running and maintaining their own are pretty much long gone.

Fwiw, not a knock against CF. I like their products, mostly simple, fair pricing, etc. Just a bit unfortunate commentary on the state of email infra on the internet.

maz1b··on David Lynch LA House
Interestingly, this article made me learn that Frank Lloyd Wright had a son who also was an architect, and that son also had a son that became an architect.

I dunno, I just find that a little bit cool and interesting.

maz1b··on Gemini in Chrome
I mean, is anyone really surprised that this was going to happen?

Google is about to break even further away in the LLM race with this move, seeing as they will be getting an absolutely, supremely stunning amount of regular and novel data 24/7. Not everyone uses dedicated LLM interfaces, but more people I know use Google search. As Google === Search for so many.

Nevertheless, it is an business savvy move to make, considering the recent ruling by the judge to not force Google to split apart or break up its business w/r/t to Chrome.

maz1b··on Apple Photos app corrupts images
I stopped using the Photos App on Mac because of this, has happened on several occasions.
maz1b··on Man jailed for parole violations after refusing to decrypt his Tor node
By this logic, anyone who has had a Google Pixel and or is running GrapheneOS is guilty by association, right?

Just wanted to understand your point.

maz1b··on How did .agakhan, .ismaili and .imamat get their own TLDs?
FWIW, Google owns .gle, and I emailed both Sundar Pichai and Charleston Registry, but no response of any kind.

My startup is called MedAngle, and we'd love to get medan.gle, but it just left a sour taste in my mouth. Some of these processes are giant black boxes.

maz1b··on Nvidia DGX Spark
Dunno, doesn't seem that good to me. Granted, I recognize the pace of advancement, but fwiw at present time.. yeah.

I'd rather just get an M3 Ultra. Have an M2 Ultra on the desk, and an M3 Ultra sitting on the desk waiting to be opened. Might need to sell it and shell out the cash for the max ram option. Pricey, but seems worthwhile.

maz1b··on GNU Artanis – A fast web application framework for Scheme
My first thought as well. State your will!
maz1b··on Show HN: Chroma Cloud – serverless search database for AI
Best of luck. Do you guys have anything for startups?
maz1b··on Notion releases offline mode
Offline mode is one of those features that sounds simple enough, but in reality gets pretty complex pretty fast, particularly if you want to do more meaningful capabilities or operations esp at scale.
maz1b··on Show HN: OverType – A Markdown WYSIWYG editor that's just a textarea
Nice job. How is this different than marked on npm?
maz1b··on I want an iPhone Mini-sized Android phone (2022)
I have on my desk, the Galaxy S8, iPhone SE (First generation), the iPhone 13 Mini, the iPhone 14 Pro and the Galaxy S22. I intentionally now choose and look for phones that are the smallest possible now (S25, iPhone 15pro or 16pro) etc

My favorite to take with me is the 13 Mini. Would love an iPhone 18 mini.

maz1b··on Repasting a MacBook
You're right, but the ultra-overwhelming-majority of people are not like us who can maximize off each new silicon generation.
maz1b··on LLM Inevitabilism
It seems to me from a cursory glance of the blog post that because certain notable humans / individuals are "framing" the modern AI/ML (LLM) era in a more inevitable way, which I totally get, but isn't that how human life works?

The majority of humans will almost always take the path of least resistance, whether it's cognition, work (physics definition), effort. LLMs are just another genie out of the bottle that will enable some certain subset of the population to use the least amount of energy to accomplish certain tasks, whether for good or bad.

Even if we put the original genie back in the bottle, someone else will copy/replicate/rediscover it. Take WhatsApp locked secret passphrase chats as an example - people (correctly) found that it would lead to enabling cheaters. Even if WhatsApp walked it back, someone else would create a new kind of app just for this particular functionality.

maz1b··on Happy 20th Birthday, Django
Happy 20th birthday, Django! You've certainly unchained a lot of startups, businesses and enterprises to build out a ton of cool things.

Thanks to the creators, contributors, community, and maintainers.

I'm more of a Rails and Phoenix guy myself, but I have a lot of respect for this project. Never worked super deep with Django, but have worked with Flask and Tornado in the past.

maz1b··on Repaste Your MacBook
While I can appreciate the intent of this blog post.. I don't see how the title should be "repaste your Macbook" when touch ID breaks and the button stops working.

Doesn't Apple offer this service if you have AppleCare+? or even if you dont? that way its on them?

maz1b··on Larry (cat)
I always find it incredibly sweet and endearing whenever humans write / document things like this. It's almost like a definition or example of what humanity means.. creatures with brainpower - a organ that's the most complex (and power efficient!) thing in the known universe.
maz1b··on Huawei Patents 3,000km Solid-State Battery with 5-Minute Charge
I remember investing in solid state battery stocks and ended up losing a lot of money, good to see that the premise behind them is solid - if this pans out, this will be revolutionary indeed.

I also don't think people will mind waiting a bit longer if it means even getting 1000km or many hundreds of miles.

maz1b··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
I'm working on MedAngle, the world's first Super App for current + future doctors. An invite only platform, which has everything people in medschool/dental school and recent graduates need. From analytics, quizzes, summaries, x-rays , videos to tens of thousands of questions, ~100k+ students/doctors have solved over 100m questions, spent 10s of billions of seconds, and growing!

We're also working on the Premed Super App, same thing for people taking medical school entry exams like the MCAT or MDCAT.

I get to work with a bunch of top notch students and doctors, and I myself am the first ever full-stack technologist who also is a doctor in Pakistan, a country of 250 million people.

maz1b··on Bought myself an Ampere Altra system
Are there any alternatives to a big cloud provider or Hetzner?
maz1b··on Bought myself an Ampere Altra system
I've always wondered why there isn't a bigger market / offering for dedicated servers with Ampere at their heart (apart from Hetzner)

If anyone knows of any, let me know!
