throw_m239339··on Please don't discontinue Gemini 2.5 Flash
"Don't discontinue Google RSS reader!"

How about you stop relying on Google products? You've learned nothing after all these years?

throw_m239339··on AI content is everywhere on social media, especially LinkedIn
Social Media, Especially Reddit, is getting worse by the minute, vibe coding spam, AI bots filling subs with AI garbage links & comments, mods calling it quit because of the amount of junk they have to deal with it. IT IS EVERYWHERE... AI music on Spotify, AI pull requests on github, AI videos on youtube,... it's gonna kill the internet...
throw_m239339··on Europe's new climate in seven charts
> Europe and the world in general obviously. 1000 people doed in France due to the heat wave.

Way more died during the heat wave in France in 2003. What did France do? Nothing substantial, because nobody is willing to bear the cost of substantial policies to fight climate change.

> Why is it that aggressive climate action is not taken still?

We can't even have global peace around the world, some people are still starving daily despite the fact that there is plenty of food to feed everybody on the planet, and slavery is still a thing, who's going to do what climate action exactly?

throw_m239339··on Gemini Code Assist will be shut down on July 17
Most of these free AI coding tool/agents won't exist anymore by 2028. This LLM thing is so expensive to run, it's understandable that these corporations are moving to the monetization phase.

What solopreneurs also need to worry about is that the cost for these tools is likely to increase... exponentially, because even paid, the plans are still heavily subsidized... when the profit seeking phase kicks in, some people indeed will be there for a rude awakening...

I personally do not to rely heavily on these tools for my projects, because I know what's going to happen.

throw_m239339··on Tidal AI Policy
That's fair, allow AI slop but tag obvious AI slop as such. Hopefully they add an option to hide detected AI slop, something I wish Youtube had for instance.
throw_m239339··on My Students Can't Read
It's not so much that they can't read, it's just that they have a short attention spam, which is an even bigger issue. And yes, I blame Tiktok and co. Your students couldn't sit through Ben-Hur.
throw_m239339··on Phantasy Star IV – 1993 Developer Interviews
Fantastic game, and the only PS game I actually finished! Unfortunately Rieko Kodama passed away not too long ago, fantastic game director and artist she was...

I really like the Manga style cut scenes in the game, it really added to the production value, and the plot is once again, full of twists and turns.

This is a JRPG that did age well and it's still engaging to play today, so it's a classic... like Breath of Fire III, Final Fantasy 6, Chrono Trigger,... they have well crafted stories & characters and they are not too hard to play or too grindy... and they all have a certain care for presentation.

throw_m239339··on It is time to give up the dualism introduced by the debate on consciousness
> A major chord is like a blend of two base colors that give rise to a pleasant composite color. Mix the wrong bases and the result is sensibly wrong.

why does a major chord sounds pleasant? and why does a minor chord sounds "sad"? Why does the locrian mode sound so unsettling? is it due to our anatomy or purely cultural?

"You can't seperate the body from the mind", Tool told me.
throw_m239339··on When everyone has AI and the company still learns nothing
I love these posts because they are missing the elephant in the room. The company learns nothing, it develops no knowledge, however, OpenAI, Anthropic and co services are absolutely learning from the people that use these tools. You are training your own replacement.
throw_m239339··on Show HN: Perfect Bluetooth MIDI for Windows
Tried with the Yamaha Seqtrak on Windows 10, didn't work.
throw_m239339··on Anthropic Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron
Blender isn't really made for CAD at all, although there are few CAD plugins. It's more for artistic modelling like MAYA or Cinema3D.

There already are LLM plugins for Blenders and prompt integration for model generation, rigging and co.

throw_m239339··on If you stop hiring juniors, your senior engineers own you
IMHO, What is likely to happen is that eventually businesses will just "hire" agents from a handful of AI providers directly, trained by... guess who..., each time you prompt Codex, Claude or whatever, you are also training these services while paying for them... If Seniors think that their jobs are safe, lmao...
throw_m239339··on Why Musicians Are Manufacturing Sold-Out Shows
> thinks it's the same reason that a half empty club will keep a line waiting outside

Yeah, one of the most famous club in Berlin used to pull that trick, now it is about to close because the owners are not making enough money. People aren't fooled by these tactics anymore.

throw_m239339··on Deezer says 44% of songs uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated
Learn an instrument (guitar,keys,drums...) if you haven't already and go jam with friends and do concerts instead. That's the best part of making music.

The age of music production is almost over, the age of the music industry already is.

I wouldn't want to be in the DAW/VST business today though, because a lot of potential customers are thinking exactly as you do...

throw_m239339··on Airline worker arrested after sharing photos of bomb damage in WhatsApp group
Foreign residents cannot criticize UAE or its government and monarchy in any way, under threat of prison and/or torture.

How is that complicated to understand? It's a brutal regime with a fake Monaco to attract rich tourists, influencers, investors and prostitutes, but the moment you fall in disgrace in the eyes of the authorities, you're done.

> ‘I was beaten and tortured’: how a British father and son made a fortune in Dubai then became wanted men

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/05/british-father...

You're all acting here like UAE is some sort of reasonable country with fair laws, when it's a dictatorship.

throw_m239339··on Isaac Asimov: The Last Question (1956)
Check out "The Last Answer" from the same author.
throw_m239339··on Codex for almost everything
All of you are ironically completely oblivious to the fact that you're training your own replacement by using these tools, you're even paying for it. Eventually, the companies you work for will just "hire" Anthropic or OpenAI agents in your place and you'll be out of job, no matter your seniority. Mark my words.
throw_m239339··on YouTube users get option to set their Shorts time limit to zero minutes
Now make it easy to block a channel like you used to too. Before you could just go to the channel, click on some menu to block one entirely, now the hoops one has to go through to hide a channel are insane, I do not understand these companies, it's like they want to force me to watch some crap I have no interest in...

Glad, these companies are starting to get held legally responsible for the content they serve in civil courts...

throw_m239339··on Anthropic downgraded cache TTL on March 6th
Every single one of these AI services are running at loss, they are subsidized. Anybody who is surprised that these services are going to get degraded and their cost go up substantially learned nothing from the last 20 years of SAAS. It never gets cheaper.
throw_m239339··on Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?
Hardware synthesizers, audio engineering, DSP programming, a whole lot of problems to solve in that domain as big manufacturers sell half baked devices for a quick buck that can barely stay in sync, or gear that is inferior to the same kind of gear from 20 years ago... it's not niche though, synth popularity is exploding, it's just that manufacturers aren't making the synthesizers as powerful as they could be, despite the increase in CPU power...
throw_m239339··on Iran demands Bitcoin fees for ships passing Hormuz during ceasefire
Oh, that's why Bitcoin is going up suddenly now hey???
throw_m239339··on Show HN: I made a YouTube search form with advanced filters
As long I doesn't shove "shorts" or "other people watched" in the result list, it's an improvement. Sometimes the results are so egregious and completely unrelated to the search terms that I feel like youtube wants to piss me off on purpose. I don't want to be searching some quantum physics video and get videos of some barely clothed women in Miami, I fail to see how it is related...
throw_m239339··on A case study in testing with 100+ Claude agents in parallel
strange downvotes, not only these services allow anyone with money to copy their competitors if they use the same services, but on the long run, Anthropic could very well be the competition, trained on corporations that use Claude. Why would this startup be any different from Google or Microsoft on the long run? People can't seem to learn their lesson.

throw_m239339··on German men 18-45 need military permit for extended stays abroad
> Everybody. Do you have some statistics ?

This is false, overwhelmingly MALES. For a time, males couldn't leave Ukraine, while females could. Those who go to die on the front in all wars are mostly males. Doesn't mean that females aren't casualties as well, they are.

throw_m239339··on How I'm Productive with Claude Code
I don't even need to read that article, I just can ask Claude how could I be more productive with Claude.
throw_m239339··on The gold standard of optimization: A look under the hood of RollerCoaster Tycoon
Fantastic write-up, that's exactly why I came to HN many years ago, to find such articles about mundane things or products, but the technical aspect is just fascinating.
throw_m239339··on Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters
I simply disagree, you know what topics I flagged, I'm not trying to bait you or any other moderator, and will discuss the matter no further.
