mdrzn··on Meta acquires Moltbook
Omg, what fucking world do we live in?
mdrzn··on Show HN: Claude Code Token Elo
Like https://www.viberank.app/ and similar
mdrzn··on Nvidia backs AI data center startup Nscale as it hits $14.6B valuation
People aren't paying $200 to chat, they're paying to have ClaudeCode or Cowork or Claude for Chrome do the work instead.
mdrzn··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
Mine went from €33 to €33.99, so I definitely cannot complain.
mdrzn··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
Server auction didn't change at all, the lowest price server is still around 33€.
mdrzn··on Sub-$200 Lidar could reshuffle auto sensor economics
2775 fines for a total of €6.8B since July 2018. It's not A LOT (I would hope for A LOT MORE fines), but it's not nothing.

mdrzn··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
APIs are the best when they let you move data out and build cool stuff on top. A lot of big platforms do not really want that anymore. They want the data to stay inside their silo so access gets slower harder and more locked down. So you are not just yelling at the cloud this feels pretty intentional.
mdrzn··on Show HN: ClawPool – Pool Claude tokens to make $$$ or crazy cheap Claude Code
"Does this violate the terms of service?"

By default we disguise activity on your pooled token — we only route traffic during your active session times and use sticky sessions so each consumer looks like one consistent user. You can further disguise it by using your own provider pool key, so your personal usage also goes through ClawPool and blends in with the rest of the traffic. The LLM provider has no way of telling the difference. From their perspective, it's indistinguishable from the provider sitting at their keyboard."

The correct response would be "Yes, it breaks Anthropic TOS".

mdrzn··on Vercel's CEO offers to cover expenses of 'Jmail'
For sure, even cheaper if you cache effectively.
mdrzn··on Vercel's CEO offers to cover expenses of 'Jmail'
1) Covering the ~$50k hosting bill for Jmail on Vercel sounds generous, but a self-hosted VPS on Hetzner could serve the same purpose for ~€30/month, which is orders of magnitude cheaper and avoids vendor lock-in.

2) This comes as the CEO of Vercel, Guillermo Rauch, is already facing community backlash for publicly supporting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, a move that’s led to boycotts and migrations off the platform among developers. All my homies hate Vercel.

mdrzn··on Qwen-Image-2.0: Professional infographics, exquisite photorealism
Infographics and full presentations are a NanoBananaPro exclusive so far.
mdrzn··on Show HN: OpenClaw Swarm as a Service (YC W20)
Seems crazy to me that yCombinator is funding these OpenClaw wrappers.. hype based on hype.
mdrzn··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
So "gpt4o mini transcribe" is not just whisper v3 under the hood? Btw it's $0.006 / minute

For Whisper API online (with v3 large) I've found "$0.00125 per compute second" which is the cheapest absolute I've ever found.

mdrzn··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
Is it 0.003 per minute of audio uploaded, or "compute minute"?

For example fal.ai has a Whisper API endpoint priced at "$0.00125 per compute second" which (at 10-25x realtime) is EXTREMELY cheaper than all the competitors.

mdrzn··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
There's no comparison to Whisper Large v3 or other Whisper models..

Is it better? Worse? Why do they only compare to gpt4o mini transcribe?

mdrzn··on The Codex App
Maybe it's because I'm not used to the flow, but I prefer to work directly on the machine where I'm logged in via ssh, instead of working "somewhere in a git tree", and then have to deploy/test/etc.

Once this app (or a similar app by Anthropic) will allow me to have the same level of "orchestration" but on a remote machine, I'll test it.

mdrzn··on Show HN: LemonSlice – Upgrade your voice agents to real-time video
"we're releasing our new model" is it downloadable and runnable in local? Could I create a "vTuber" persona with this model?
mdrzn··on OSS ChatGPT WebUI – 530 Models, MCP, Tools, Gemini RAG, Image/Audio Gen
Posted 5 times in the last 7 days, today it finally got 29 points with 0 comments? Weird.
mdrzn··on Ask HN: What have you built/shipped with Claude Code?
Sure, my email in my profile! Or you can find my linkedin from my username.
mdrzn··on Your app subscription is now my weekend project
Why wouldn't I be able to fix these things? If I managed to build a thing from scratch (with Opus 4.5), I don't see why I wouldn't be able to fix it and maintain it in the future (maybe with Opus 4.7 or even better future models?).
mdrzn··on Your app subscription is now my weekend project
Which is exactly why whenever I have an idea I just tinked with ClaudeCode for an hour or so until I have exactly what I need. It takes less time than trying to compare 10 similar products, none of which have the exact specifications or features that I need.

List of projects mentioned before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46716805

mdrzn··on Ask HN: What have you built/shipped with Claude Code?
Tens of small/one-time apps or scripts that I needed done, and Claude provided them in seconds.

A few medium to big projects:

- a scraper of product pricing in shops near me, to track inflation over time

- a clone of typeform, but more customized on my needs

- end-to-end automation of managing facebook ads campaign (create/track/scale)

- dashboard to automate managing comments on multiple facebook pages

- a classic polymarket bot

- a pdf editor inbrowser so all my data stays local

- a landing page generator for ecommerce, just give the product description

- a slideshow generator using nanobananapro

- an infinite canvas to work in to generate images, with nodes

- agent automations to test AI voice agents in calls

Anything that comes to mind I can setup and deploy in a few minutes.

Nothing groundbreaking but it's all stuff that I didn't know how to do before, and now I know how to build/maintain/backup/upgrade with ClaudeCode. I know most senior devs would say "well this was all doable before" but they forget that not everyone had all the necessary skills to do all this stuff. Now it's a one man job.

mdrzn··on I was a top 0.01% Cursor user, then switched to Claude Code 2.0
"my experience from 5 years of coding with AI" immediately disregarded the rest of TFA.
mdrzn··on People cannot "just pay attention" to (boring, routine) things
"You're using a suspiciously old browser" and I'm on Chrome 143.0.7499.42.

I guess the content of the website is not that important then.

mdrzn··on Tell HN: Execution is cheap, ideas matter again
"They aren't being "ninnies"; they are being wise." damn the AI writing is so blatant
mdrzn··on Show HN: I built an auto-scheduler to help me decide what I'm watching
It redirects me immediately to a Login/Signup page. No homepage, no info about this? No pricing page before I sign up for the free trial?
mdrzn··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Very interesting! This inspired me in making something similar to clean up my old "Download" folders from 10 years ago that are full of screenshots and random images, but I would also need it to preserve the "last-modified" of the file otherwise when I sort by date it would show me all the renamed images.
mdrzn··on If you have multiple interests, do not waste the next 2-3 years
Twitter has been paying for "time spent on the website" so most people with a checkmark started writing infinitely long posts/threads and they are working.
mdrzn··on Fad or future? 1998's top tech stories
"14. Portal madness

Companies engage in a mad rush to launch their own "portals," gateways to the Net for consumers. This results in old and new media alliances, highlighted by Disney's taking a major stake in Infoseek and Netscape's strategic move to promote its Netcenter, as well as relanuches by Microsoft and America Online. Next year, look to see whether the hype generates any real profits."

while today they would have written:

14. LLM madness

Companies engage in a mad rush to launch their own "chatbots", gateways to intelligence for consumers and enterprises alike. This results in unprecedented alliances between big tech and research labs, highlighted by Microsoft’s multi-billion dollar bet on OpenAI and Amazon’s strategic stake in Anthropic, as well as aggressive pivots by Google and Meta to integrate generative agents into every product. Next year, look to see whether the massive compute costs can finally generate any real profits.

Erik also uploaded some of his chats as video recordings on YouTube[0], it's clear to me that the LLM was in "roleplaying mode"
