xupybd··on Ask HN: Do you have an unusual income source
It is clearly a joke.
xupybd··on Is "colorectal cancer" rising in "young people"?
I had bleeding for a over a year and every time there was a good explanation. After all the news about cancer I pushed for a colonoscopy at 41.

36 polyps were found. Some of elevated risk. So now I get yearly screening. But by the sounds of the type of polyps I had, if I had waited until the screening age I would have had high chances of cancer.

xupybd··on GLM-5: Targeting complex systems engineering and long-horizon agentic tasks
I've been using GLM 4.7 with opencode.

It is for sure not as good but the generous limits mean that for a price I can afford I can use it all day and that is game changer for me.

I can't use this model yet as they are slowly rolling it out but I'm excited to try it.

xupybd··on Data centers in space makes no sense

Sufficient hype funds more work for his rocket company.

I really think it's that simple.

Going to primary sources is required to verify what it says but it can reduce the leg work rather a lot.

I assume you're on the younger end

xupybd··on I am stepping down as the CEO of Mastodon
"The fediverse is an island within an increasingly dystopian capitalist hellscape."

This seems like an extreme view to me. It's not so bad

xupybd··on Vacuum bricked after user blocks data collection – user mods it to run anyway
Not really. They probably flagged this as someone modifying the device and thought it could be someone reverse engineering it.
xupybd··on The longest baseball game took 33 innings to win
A test cricket match can last for up to five days and is the longest format of the game, with each team having two innings. Each day consists of about 90 overs and typically lasts for 6-7 hours, including lunch and tea breaks.

Some of us have work that requires windows only applications.
xupybd··on NixOS moderation team resigns over NixOS Steering Committee's interference
