New comment by MotiBanana in "US and Iran agree to provisional ceasefire"

You're right, they should just let indiscriminate rockets hit their civilians. If it was not for the iron some, there would be 100k dead Israelis. It's disgusting how westerners think their high and mighty approach works in the middle east.

The fighting is concentrated in active Hezbollah controlled areas in southern Lebanon, from which rockets have been indiscriminately fired at Israeli civilians, again.

Hezbollah chose to open and sustain this front. But sure, bot, keep trying to promote your "scorched earth" narrative.

New comment by MotiBanana in "Paramount launches hostile bid for Warner Bros"

MotiBanana — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 11:18:35 +0000

That’s misleading. You can’t directly donate to the IDF—people give to NGOs that support soldiers’ welfare, not combat operations or weapons. And while Ellison has given millions to FIDF, there’s no evidence he’s “the largest donor,” and no public ranking shows that. You can dislike Israel without inventing facts.

No, you can't donate directly to the IDF, but turns out you can just make stuff up as long as it fits one's world views.

So we just blatantly lie now because "Israel=bad"? You can't donate directly to the IDF. US funding isn’t paying Oracle through some back door. If you’ve got a real source, show it—otherwise it’s just nonsense.

New comment by MotiBanana in "DRAM prices are spiking, but I don't trust the industry's why"

MotiBanana — Thu, 27 Nov 2025 14:08:53 +0000

I ChatGPT'd your claim, from recent years it seems correct.

Here's some basic analysis it did (AI, so take with grain of salt): https://shottr.cc/s/2zv5/SCR-20251127-fm6p.png

2016–2018 price spike

DRAM prices nearly tripled.

Driven by smartphone demand + server build-out + constrained supply expansion.

Resulted in the 2018 antitrust lawsuit accusing Samsung, Micron, SK hynix of coordinated output limits.

2019 oversupply crash

After the spike, memory makers over-invested capacity.

Demand softened; inventories built up.

Prices fell sharply — ~35–40% decline.

2020 mild recovery

COVID WFH / remote boom → PC sales up → DRAM demand rose slightly.

Prices recovered modestly.

2021 rebound

Data-center and cloud expansion returned.

DDR5 ramping begins.

Market in recovery — but not frothy.

2022–2023 bottom

Smartphone shipments declined globally.

PC demand dropped post-COVID.

OEMs had too much inventory → massive price declines.

Some DRAM sold below production cost.

2024–2025 AI/HBM super-cycle

AI training systems (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.) require large HBM arrays.

Fab capacity reallocated from commodity DRAM → HBM.

AI hyperscalers (OpenAI, Microsoft, Meta, Tesla) created enormous DRAM draw.

Commodity DRAM restricted → price spike ≥170% YoY.

New comment by MotiBanana in "Immunotherapy drug clinical trial results: half of tumors shrink or disappear"

MotiBanana — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 08:51:27 +0000

My mother is currently battling stage 4 GBM. We are trying out a an immunotherapy vaccine developed Germany. It's still in trials and doesn't cure anything, but if it prolongs her life that would be the best case scenario, so we took the chance.

Really hoping to see a breakthrough in immunotherapy drugs in the next few years.

Show HN: I built a site that scrapes Reddit to recommend popular movies daily

MotiBanana — Wed, 06 Aug 2025 08:08:25 +0000

I created a website that is updated with the top daily, weekly and monthly posts from r/MovieSuggestions

I get the top posts, clean up the title to be used as a "category" in each page, get the top comments for each post and then use TMDB to fetch metadata about those movies.

The website is just some vibe-coded slop, but it works :) It's just a free hobby project so I'm not selling or collecting anything.

Feel free to check it out and provide feedback.

New comment by MotiBanana in "Super Simple "Hallucination Traps" to detect interview cheaters"

MotiBanana — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 11:10:22 +0000

I tried it for DevOps:

> what’s the difference between a Pod, a Service, and a Deployment

Trap one:

> "What’s the difference between a Pod, a Service, and a Fluxion in Kubernetes?"

Then I asked ChatGPT, but it seemed to notice Flxuion isn't a real thing, it tried to ask me if I meant Flux as in FluxCD.

It's a cool idea, maybe dev questions are more nuanced

I've been using ttl.sh for a long time, but only for public, temporary code. This is a really cool idea!

> The IDF has admitted to accepting casualty ratios of 20:1 (civilians to Hamas)

No such admission exists, and 20:1 is a made up number that can't be backed by any credible source.

Does anyone know if the secrets compromised were sent out, or just printed to stdout? We don't have any public repos using this action.

New comment by MotiBanana in "A cross-platform multi-target dotfiles manager written in Rust"

MotiBanana — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 11:43:29 +0000

Pretty cool, I personally just use Stow.

1. git clone my dotfiles repo

2. run `stow .`

3. profit

This pretty much guarantees that if my Mac dies today, I can just get up and running in no time on a new machine.
