netdur··on Google officially announces that ads will be included in AI Mode search results
I find helpful ads on Google Search sometimes, and it can be the easiest way to get results, but most of the time, ads (and SEO) ruin search accuracy to the point that it's becoming totally useless
netdur··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
I am working https://vibu.app which is free digital voucher

and for fun, I am building yet another programming language!

netdur··on Rotten Dot Com
Mistakenly, i thought it was about Rotten Tomatoes, and i started thinking about how a movie like Michael ranked badly, the critics missed the whole point of watching a movie, to be entertained, sadly, here on HN, sometimes we miss the point too, if that involves some names
netdur··on Google ties reCAPTCHA to Google Play Services, screwing de-Googled Android users
Then do not use Android, some Chinese phone or iPhone
netdur··on Accelerating Gemma 4: faster inference with multi-token prediction drafters
I am getting 21 t/s on Fold 7, 21 x 1.8 = 37.8 t/s compared to M1 Max's 54 t/s, that is impressive
netdur··on Musk's AI told me people were coming to kill me (BBC)
why would the bbc publish an article about a man who believed a chatbot's story about someone coming to kill him?
netdur··on Advanced Quantization Algorithm for LLMs
hmm... at Q4_K_M, stock-style quantization is retaining ~99–99.8% of BF16 accuracy, AutoRound pushes that to ~99.4–100.n% (??) the gap is roughly 0.1–0.7 percentage points

netdur··on Grok 4.3
In court vs openai, Musk said Grok is partly trained on openai models, so it should be somehow similar to Chinese models in terms of performance and cost!
netdur··on Claude.ai is unavailable
they should just swap it with Qwen 3.6 27B, no one would tell the different
netdur··on UAE to leave OPEC
Geopolic: A US-aligned Gulf state walking away from a Saudi/Russia-led bloc in the middle of a war, after deciding the bloc didn’t really have its back

Economic: it weakens OPEC’s pricing power in a way you might not see right away if Hormuz is closed, but it could really change the supply picture once things reopen

netdur··on Airline worker arrested after sharing photos of bomb damage in WhatsApp group
By asking Meta polity
netdur··on Airline worker arrested after sharing photos of bomb damage in WhatsApp group
there are two sides, such as how photos can stress citizens and act as propaganda, making them harmful to state interests, ultimately it is their country and their rules, not yours, regardless of how much you disagree with it

you are also missing the elephant in the room, whatsapp's claim of end-to-end encryption is a lie

netdur··on Claude Code Routines
didn’t we have several antitrust cases where a vendor used its monopoly to disadvantage rivals? did not anthropic block openclaw?
netdur··on Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)
I am working on hugind, I have two goals:

- make it reliable to run LLM inference on company hardware, even when it is poor or outdated

- bring chaotic agentic behavior under control in business contexts

netdur··on Show HN: TurboQuant-WASM – Google's vector quantization in the browser
I tried TQ for vector search and my findings is not good, it is not worth it if you cannot use GPU, however I got same quality of search as 32f using 8bit quant

I wrote ann ext for sqlite, using tq, I do save a lot on space but 32f is still faster despite everything I have tried

code here https://github.com/netdur/munind/tree/main/src/tq

netdur··on Let your Coding Agent debug the browser session with Chrome DevTools MCP
I wrote an ai agent that do chrome testing, yes, chrome MCP do work https://github.com/netdur/hugind/tree/main/agent/chrome_test...
netdur··on GPT-5.4
Did it complain about copyright issues?
netdur··on Gemini 3 Deep Think
Gemini 3 long context is not good as Gemini 2.5
netdur··on Ring owners are returning their cameras
Now you know why Superbowl ads cost millions and bloggers are just bloggers
netdur··on NanoClaw solves one of OpenClaw's biggest security issues
I have tried to solve the agent running wild, and I found two solutions, the first is to mount the workspace folder using WASM to scope any potential damage, the second is running rquickjs with all APIs and module imports disabled, requiring the agent to call a host function that checks permissions before accessing any files

netdur··on Claude is a space to think
While there is nothing wrong about Saudi money, they are spreading FUD about open weights and wants to regulate and control how the LLM is used
netdur··on Flux 2 Klein pure C inference
i would love if you took the time to instruct claude to re-implement inference in c/c++, and put an mit license on it, it would be huge, but only if it actually works
netdur··on Software engineers can no longer neglect their soft skills
calculators doing a perfect job did not end accountants' jobs, it made it faster.
netdur··on OpenAI to begin testing ads on ChatGPT in the U.S.
they have been doomed for a while, it is just a matter of time, but honestly i like them better than the claude provider, if they can make openai profitable, that would be good for all of us, we don't want a world where gemini is the only winner or the chinese take over
netdur··on Anthropic made a mistake in cutting off third-party clients
Anthropic thinks highly of its "moat", yet it is spreading FUD to kill open weights
netdur··on How Google got its groove back and edged ahead of OpenAI
Ai studio with my custom prompting is much better than Gemini app and opus
netdur··on 2025: The Year in LLMs
i think the concern about software shifting toward ai design ignores that the web hasn't been human-first for a long time. most traffic is already machine to machine, like crawlers and ci pipelines. we’ve tolerated systems that are barely legible for years. anyone who has grepped through android studio logs knows that human readability is usually a tertiary goal at best. ai interacting with complex systems is just an evolution of the glue code we’ve always written.

as for who made it, utility usually matters more than where it came from. i used an agent for an oss changelog recently and it picked up things i’d forgotten while structuring the narrative better than i could. the intent and code were mine, but the ai acted as a high fidelity compressor. the risk isn't ai being everywhere. it’s the atrophy of judgment where we stop using it to support decisions and start using it to outsource thinking.

netdur··on Tesla’s 4680 battery supply chain collapses as partner writes down deal by 99%
i don't understand americans, two years ago i wanted a tesla, now i want a byd, you've let down the only american company competing against the chinese, all because of trump and politics
netdur··on Mistral 3 family of models released
I believe it is the system instructions that make the difference for Gemini, as I use Gemini on AI Studio with my system prompts to get it to do what I need it to do, which is not possible with gemini.google.com's gems
