preuceian··on AI promised less work. I've never worked more
The promise was that fewer workers could do the same amount of work, or even more
preuceian··on Dessa: Conversation Model trained only on speech
I listened after reading your comment, and in the first half of the example, Dessa sounds drunk to me, or at least tipsy. So weirdly, the laugh made sense to me.
preuceian··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
What about throughput (reasoning) and output? Or can we reasonably assume those are downstream of input and therefore covered by this policy as well?
preuceian··on Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption
The climate activists mostly do something stupid like obstructing traffic, unlike the farmers, who obstruct traffic in a way you apparently consider rational.

I feel like they're pretty self-aware about it. I dont mind it, it keeps the episodes engaging and family friendly.
preuceian··on We're testing new ad formats in Search and expanding our Direct Offers pilot
I stand corrected. I did not know they offered this; has this always been the case?

ns.nl is just for the trains, use 9292 for all public transit
preuceian··on Louis Rossmann offers to pay legal fees for a threatened OrcaSlicer developer
Rossmann is still relevant and to my knowledge has not discredited his cause. Your comment about him needing to get his facts right or risking irrelevance is wishful thinking and clearly not reflective of the reality of his impact on Right to Repair legislation (if you are suggesting that he does not get his facts right).

Technology Connections is an educational channel that occasionally offers political commentary. Telling his audience to vote is a call to action, but not the same as organizing. Rossmann is an organizer who engages with policymakers. To treat them as being on the same level is to misunderstand what they are each doing.

> Rossman is a drama YouTuber, like many others.

I dont see how he is “like many others”. A lot of YouTubers cover controversy for controversy sake, or just as material for another sponsored video. He does not do sponsored content, and usually seems to push for something concrete around consumer rights. So I think the comparison to other drama Youtubers is unfair.

In my view, the drama is more a way to draw attention to his activism. He does tend to put his money and time where his mouth is.

But perhaps my view is biased, since I only see the videos the YouTube algorithm suggests to me, and those may be the ones that are more focused on consumer rights than drama. Still, that has consistently been my impression.

preuceian··on Talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
Did people already refer to it as the Great Depression in 1929?
preuceian··on iNaturalist
I’ve been using Observation.org (or rather its localized version Waarneming.nl) to record my hedgehog sightings. Should I use both platforms, or do these data points end up aggregated downstream anyway?
preuceian··on Overestimation of microplastics potentially caused by scientists' gloves
In the acknowledgements section. However, after reviewing it, I’m not sure what or who I should be looking for, so I’m not entirely sure what the OP is hinting at.

At first glance, nothing appears suspicious, though I should note that I’m not familiar with any of the authors and haven’t looked into them further.

preuceian··on Dario Amodei – "We are near the end of the exponential" [video]
The insult is that hes similar to Lex Fridman, not that hes Indian.
preuceian··on Claude Code daily benchmarks for degradation tracking
Maybe im overlooking something obvious but how do you 'simply' scan the content of Claude users their prompts?
preuceian··on India and EU announce landmark trade deal
The Netherlands is preventing is trying to prevent hyperscale data centers from being built because they require as much energy is a year as a small city. I can't imagine dismissing the import of a small city's worth of Indians quarterly as trivial.
preuceian··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
Would it be possible to see what you’re currently building? I’m very interested.
