My experience was different. I found it extremely good at fronting technology like react while I had to hand hold it for the backend tasks. Even with fable it was the same.

The issues in Indian startup scene are myriad and not just raising. For one the lack of govt support and extreme corruption at anything govt related hinders the startups penetrating market. There other reality is a two tier system of founders where people belonging to certain premier institutes are assumed to be better at startup than others. This stems from the fact that most Indian VCs are mass holders and investment bankers with nil to little exposure to operating a tech company. Capital is probably a secondary order factor if you consider these issues.

Pretty much is, at this point. Spcx is oversubscribed.

This is a psychology paper. It’s difficult to attribute anything in psychology easily to a certain factor.

The argument I have generally heard is consistent power output and grid availability 24x7 with solar is harder. So they augment with gas turbines. IMO augmenting it with nuclear is better.

anukin — Mon, 18 May 2026 17:56:16 +0000

I see masters in technological related fields as a way to get a job in USA for many non us candidates. It’s a good thing that this gamification of the system is meeting its demise. I for one have not found many masters students talented than the undergrads at software tasks. PhDs are another matter though.

America is not the world. They can’t go and sanction companies operating out of China or Japan who want a safe passage through hormuz. Especially now that the military power that supports the sovereign guarantee of US dollar is under siege.

How do you ban bitcoin? It’s not hosted or supported by American financial rails or any entity like swift which can be influenced by the USA in any meaningful way.

How do you ban this? It’s not part of swift or any us govt. backed global financial rails. If Iran(a sanctioned entity) supports this then this is more proof that the thing works.

New comment by anukin in "Kerala, Breasts, and the Tax That Wasn't"

anukin — Sun, 12 Apr 2026 08:50:07 +0000

I am a keralite and when I was growing up it was common to see old topless women. I don’t think the caste actually determined who could be topless or not. Mind you this was 1990s. This custom stopped altogether as that generation of old women passed away. Now you won’t find women swimming around in the public ponds or being topless. Also I think it’s extremely liberating that women could be topless without being subjected to lecherous gestures or stares which is the case now.

New comment by anukin in "Peptides: where to begin?"

anukin — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 10:25:42 +0000

I have recently been through the rabbit hole of peptides and most of the people engaged or involved in peptides seem to be healthy individuals. There are some exceptions like lookmaxxers and anti vaxers. The vast majority of people are normal and majority are outside of USA where anti vax sentiment are not in vogue. Some explore peptides for their dogs and cats too.

To assert that people are sad and anxious while not putting the effort to understand the people involved is such an intellectually lazy position to hold.

I have seen posts about Palestine here much more than the one you got for the Nigerian Christians. The one you got is from 2025 even when the issue is still ongoing. Maybe your impressions are muddied?

I generally don’t like something not related to tech in hacker news. Humanitarian crisis is happening across the world. There were no posts here for Sudanese people. None for Nigerian Christians or Bangladeshi Hindus. Or is humanitarian crisis only happen when certain people are involved in them? I have noticed this all across the wider web. Only when Muslims suffer from hands of non Muslims, there are protests and posts in support of them. Pakistan is openly committing human rights violations against baluchis and have done it against Bangladeshi Hindus. Sudan and Somalia have both been supported by the gulf countries. Maybe start protesting and have same amount of human feelings for non Muslims as well.

Moltbook was recently acquired by meta. I think it’s the same hypothesis for TikTok for ai agents or similar.
