rognjen··on Ask HN: What is the job market like?
Going to have to ask for a citation for that claim bub....

And don't forget StumbleUpon...

There is even a big "Send a PR" button...

rognjen··on Steve Wozniak cheered after telling students they have AI – actual intelligence
This whole situation with students cheering and booing is kind of strange.

Aren't students, at least anecdotally, outsourcing a lot of _their_ work to LLMs? And upon graduation when they're told that it's their future they don't like it?

rognjen··on First G-SHOCK with a heart rate monitor, also featuring Smartphone Link
It's super cool and I love G Shock in general but the Casio app is straight up awful.
rognjen··on Source code of Swedish e-government services has been leaked
Hot take: all government code should be open source.
rognjen··on Excessive token usage in Claude Code
This issue has the same vibes as the World of Warcraft forum on patch day.

Something strange is afoot with this post -- this is the third time it's showed up in the Newest RSS feed
rognjen··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
Highly dubious of this.

I see zero reason for a person to care about the checkpoints.

And for agents, full sessions just needlessly fill context.

So not sure what is being solved by this.

rognjen··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
With a 60M seed? I doubt it.
rognjen··on OpenAI Frontier
The most interesting part of this is that OpenAI are no longer in the lead but are playing catch-up.

Not exactly the same but somewhat similar is Atuin Desktop https://github.com/atuinsh/desktop
rognjen··on Statement by Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands,Norway,Sweden,UK
From the same site, the same stat for the US is 41% LOL

Edit: also you can't do math well -- it's 100 - 77 = 23 (not 33)

rognjen··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
For everyone comparing an EU-wide initiative to country-specific ones keep in mind that EU is composed of 28 sovereign states. Many individual countries already have their payment systems, and have had for a long while.

It's not equivalent to India, or the US.

It'd be more comparable to ASEAN (11) or the Arab league (22).

rognjen··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
Businesses with slim margins in Germany simply do not have Visa/Mastercard -- only "EC", the German network. Thay means it's not a matter of passing on cost, but it's a choice for the consumer: cash or EC.

If I had to guess, having subbbed to the EC network, or any of the other country specific ones, merchants would simply get the new one as well automatically.

Similar things are happening with online ID where an EU-wide provider is being rolled out and if you as a service provider need KYC-type ID you integrate only with it. Under the hood the user can use any of the national IDs.

rognjen··on Toys with the highest play-time and lowest clean-up-time
It seems to me that you may not have read the comment in question - it wasn't that LLMs are a good toy, it was just that LLMs are good at a particular aspect of the authors writing.
rognjen··on Toys with the highest play-time and lowest clean-up-time
What a strange world we're in when the top comment on a post about toys is about how LLMs are good...

I'm not crying! You're crying!
rognjen··on Show HN: Turn raw HTML into production-ready images for free
It's nice looking for sure but much more complex than using `wkhtmltox` with `pngquant`, `optipng` and/or ImageMagick `convert` locally - esp. since the learning curve seems to be about equivalent.

rognjen··on Apple takes down ICE tracking apps after pressure from DOJ
Does not seem like a thought out answer.

It's harder to be anon with an app that with a web page because you have to cater for all the web things PLUS Android.

rognjen··on California’s Alo Slebir unofficially broke the big wave surfing world record
This site needs to be banned from HN. It's borderline spam employing every trick in the book to maximise your pageview.

Clickbait title, interstitial ads, floating vid, back jacking, newsletter, notification...

When I open the page it's only a third that's content -- and that's only the clickbait title.

What garbage...

rognjen··on RubyMine is now free for non-commercial use
I didn't read your comment -- I'm sure it was insightful and well researched.

The fact that it ended with an elitist ad hominem attack tells me enough.

On the other hand, it's been shown time and again that we should do the opposite of whatever Zuck says.

Is it just me or is there a noticeable uptick in Clickhouse related posts that are border-line marketing?

I wish you the best of luck which is why I'll tell you that in my experience
