replwoacause··on U.S. government will decide who gets to use GPT-5.6
The White House is already 100% corrupt. The American political system has failed in keeping out a conman pedophile from the highest office in the land. What follows is pretty much what you'd expect under these conditions.
replwoacause··on Marfa Public Radio Puts You to Sleep
I love visiting Marfa. If you haven't been, I recommend it (you should read up on it first, it's not really for everyone, it's a pretty weird little dessert town).
replwoacause··on What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis
I’m at 7.5mg now so can’t speak to any doses higher than that. But I’m assuming each step up would reintroduce more appetite control and reduce food noise and then level back off a bit. Not saying the effects go to zero, just that they start off more pronounced.
replwoacause··on What Ozempic does to the gut-brain axis
I've been on Mounjaro for a couple of years. Unfortunately this effect seems to plateau somewhat and you have to bump your dose. I've changed doses 3 times now, so I'm pretty familiar with how long each increase lasts. It still provides some appetite control, but those initial gains, or the honeymoon phase, definitely tapers. Still, I'm better off being on it versus not and I think it allows me to maintain a healthy weight easier. Plus reap all the other benefits we're learning more about.

Hasn't done jack shit for my depression.

Also worth mentioning GLP1's are known to cause anhedonia. So there's that...

replwoacause··on Tell HN: Happy Fathers Day
New dad to an 8.5 month old. It's changed my life in ways I couldn't imagine. It's been hard but so rewarding. Today was my first father's day and it couldn't have been better.

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads here. And happy Father's Day to my own Dad, who isn't with us anymore, but gave me a great upbringing and lessons I'll carry with me the rest of my life.

replwoacause··on Norway imposes near ban on AI in elementary school
Good, wholeheartedly agree with this. Too bad US legislators are impotent.
replwoacause··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
> Especially if those people aren't presently very bright, and are already mad at you for not helping them achieve their unrelated authoritarian goals.

Just more corrupt behavior from the contemptible kakistocracy that's busy running things into the ground and enriching themselves while they're at it.

replwoacause··on Ask HN: Are most corporate SWE jobs performative?
Scrum and agile are performative and most 1:1s are a waste of time, they are just a way to stay in people's good graces and keep up appearances.
replwoacause··on Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight
FTA? Free Trade Agreement?
replwoacause··on Claude Fable 5
Elon does suck. Objectively.
replwoacause··on Claude Fable 5
Yeah, the marketing is cringe and it's a bummer that such a cool and powerful technology attracts such an icky group of enthusiasts. Surely, not all are bad, but man there are lots of goobers who are just AI-pilled hypemen who can't STFU about it.
replwoacause··on Claude Fable 5
your usage of lowk adds nothing to your post, but it does reveal your approximate age.
replwoacause··on Claude Fable 5
Probably thought you were going to use it to build a novel bioweapon or something
replwoacause··on Show HN: Performative-UI – A react component library of design tropes
Not sure what's low key about it but I agree that it's cool
replwoacause··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
Why the hell does it need to be so complex? People have been making TUIs for decades. Did we need a small game engine to run claude code?
replwoacause··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
I love that animation, really cool
replwoacause··on Elixir v1.20: Now a gradually typed language
I've used untyped languages extensively, and even built my own, and the errors I get at runtime are almost never type-based, and that's even more true now that LLMs can pump out code. For all the additional ceremony types add, I can't say I've personally realized their benefit.
replwoacause··on Gmail thinks I'm stupid, so I left
Also here to say I've been a happy Fastmail user for like 7 years after moving away from gmail (or Google Business or whatever they used to call it) and it's been AWESOME.
replwoacause··on Malicious npm packages detected across Red Hat Cloud Services
It's becoming laughable how frequently this is happening. Wow.
replwoacause··on The Website Specification
I don't understand why this submission has so many points. It's not good.
replwoacause··on ChatGPT for Google Sheets exfiltrates workbooks
Just embarrassing behavior from OpenAI. Is it laziness? Why does it take public ridicule for these companies to get a shit.
replwoacause··on Shantell Sans (2023)
A beautiful font, and a beautiful gift from the creators. Very nice!
replwoacause··on Shantell Sans (2023)
I use and love this. Not quite the same, and not free, but I think it's beautifully made.

replwoacause··on Claude Opus 4.8
I wouldn't say vice-versa is true. GPT 5.5 routinely finds major mistakes made by Opus 4.7, but I've yet to have it work the other way around.
replwoacause··on Claude Opus 4.8
Anybody know what the most capable Chinese model is that can be used in production and is cheaper than US frontier models? Would that still be Deepseek? My interest is getting as close to Gpt5.5 or Opus quality as I can get, but for less $.
replwoacause··on Show HN: I made an emergency page for my family
Buy a bicycle and ride that instead until you're mature enough to get behind the wheel. Speeding around endangering people's lives is rotten behavior.
replwoacause··on Show HN: Agent.email – sign up via curl, claim with a human OTP
Thanks I’ll check into this as well. One of my requirements is being able to generate addresses programmatically, not sure if the NetCups service supports that or not. But either way, that’s a good deal!
replwoacause··on Show HN: Agent.email – sign up via curl, claim with a human OTP
Thanks, I’ll have to check that out. All my domains are with them anyway so this could be just what I was after!

Not everything needs to be open source.
