ra··on DeepSeek-V4-Flash Update
What's the best way to run this on a 64GB M2 Pro?
ra··on Kimi-K3 on HuggingFace
or 27/7 for the rest of the world
ra··on Flux 3 X Mimic: The Next Generation of Video-Action Models
Yes that was impressive.
ra··on Flux 3
It would be interesting to see some time-series sentiment analysis of HN. Subjectively it feels like there's much negativity on HN these days, I hope I'm wrong.
ra··on LM Studio Bionic: the AI agent for open models
Can I use my z.ai coding plan API key?
ra··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
Still describes the current state of affairs perfectly. I'd love to see them on snowy 2 today.
ra··on Count Binface
The Ipsos poll cited in the first image was a survey of 1,000 uk citizens 18+. It wasn't a poll of 1,000 people in Clacton. It's meaningless and I'm surprised they used it.
ra··on Launch HN: Context.dev (YC S26) – API to get structured data from any website
Funny I just did that today to replace Jina with Readability. It's surprisingly good.
ra··on Grok 4.5
while this might be true for Grok, GPT and Claude I don't think tarring _all_ labs with this brush is demonstrably accurate.
ra··on Local, CPU-Friendly, High-Quality TTS (Text-to-Speech) with Kokoro
thank you
ra··on Local, CPU-Friendly, High-Quality TTS (Text-to-Speech) with Kokoro
I get the sense you're not referring to the French fashion brand, what is Hermes?
ra··on Why Switzerland has 25 gbit internet and America doesn't
Sydney, Australia - the most I can get is 500mbps from our government owned nbn. I have a 1Gb plan, but in reality it's half that.
ra··on Superpowers 6
The cool thing about superpowers is it's built using evals rather than just vibes.
ra··on ZCode – Harness for GLM-5.2
I've been using this for a few weeks and it's a real workhorse.
ra··on One million passports leaked online
no: https://cambridgeanalytica.org/analyses/what-is-cambridge-an...
ra··on U.S. allows Anthropic to release Mythos AI to ‘trusted’ US organizations
I agree. Our greatest nation-threats are not the countries we're told they are.
ra··on Volkswagen blocks Home Assistant by requiring client assertion
wow - I was looking at moving from Tesla to Skoda for our next EV. Last month it was interceptor missiles for Israel and now this.
ra··on Ask HN: Is anyone working at least 4 hours daily on an Apple Vision Pro?
I've not tried one. What are the drawbacks? eye strain? discomfort?
ra··on Soft launch of open-source code platform for government
Maybe governments should be in charge of their own critical infra; I'm happy with as much non-government controlled software as possible.
ra··on Talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
I want to live in that world.
ra··on Codex for almost everything
Anthropic don't seem to know how to look after and keep customers.
ra··on Rewriting a 20-year-old Python library
Brings back memories if when b-list was on the front page of HN all the time.

Another approach to preserve the fully functional api is decorators.

ra··on Ask HN: Who is using OpenClaw?
Yes agree, I imagine that's why NVIDIA and OpenAI jumped at them.

I wouldn't touch that vibe-coded mess with a ten foot pole.

ra··on GAIA – Open-source framework for building AI agents that run on local hardware
I agree, and think AMD and Nvidia philosophy diverged way before Cuda.

I can't count how many times over the last 30 years I've had AMD drivers crash the OS (Linux and Windows). Nvidia have been mostly rock solid.

The thing is, the die isn't much use without a stable driver (and AI stack).

ra··on N-Day-Bench – Can LLMs find real vulnerabilities in real codebases?
Nice. I've been thinking of doing something similar in our local jurisdiction (Australia).

Are you able to share (or point me toward) any high-level details: (key hardware, hosting stack, high-level economics, key challenges)?

I'd love to offer to buy you a coffee but I won't be in Switzerland any time soon.

ra··on Hacker compromises A16Z-backed phone farm, calling them the 'antichrist'
Surprises me to.

I thought A16Z were a top-tier VC wanting to create long-term value. I didn't see black-hat social media bot farms in their focus areas.

It might be a bit facetious, but if I had 10m invested with them I'd be asking questions about their investment thesis.

ra··on Open source security at Astral
Not sure if you're fully over the context that openAI bought Astral - who "own" uv.
ra··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
Who are these actual terrorists you speak of?
ra··on FBI and DOJ Announce Operation Masquerade
This is especially concerning as TP-Link (a Cisco brand) are woeful at maintaining the software on their products. They should be compelled to maintain a security programme or at very least open source their firmware at EOL.

ra··on US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire
It's times like these when most people recognise that parents in all corners of the world worry about their kids just the same.

War should never break out. But it does. We had international rules to prevent war, but they're gone. We had international rules to prevent governments deliberately killing innocent people under the guise of war, but they're gone too.

It took two world wars and roughly 80 million killed to create those rules.

You could argue about when they got destroyed. In Ukraine, in Gaza, Iran - but it's clear now that they don't exist any more.
