Thank you for making this whoever you are. There is a wonderful video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FT-oz9aZU4 that visualizes space travel and time dilation in Hail Mary. What I wished I had immediately after watching it was an interactive stellar chart.

New comment by dkobia in "I believe there are entire companies right now under AI psychosis"

dkobia — Sat, 16 May 2026 11:29:07 +0000

The primary issue here is that CEOs and investors are particularly vulnerable to AI psychosis which is then forcibly propagated to the rest of the organization. Understandably, the perceived benefits are almost impossible to ignore, compounded by the FOMO of the AI first/AI native narrative being sold by AI influencers.

dkobia — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 10:17:22 +0000

This always blows my mind. We are currently breathing in the DNA of the trees, animals, and people around us—and we’re leaving ours behind for them, too. We’re all one big genetic soup.

It seems like the whole world could massively benefit from this much like the other great innovation out of the EU -- the Common Charger Directive (aka USB-C).

New comment by dkobia in "Ask HN: M5 MacBook Pro buyers, worth spending the $$$ to maybe run LLMs local?"

dkobia — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:27:12 +0000

I’m running local models with a maxed out M4 but I find local models only useful and reliable for trivial tasks and sensitive items like database optimization work. Local LLMs just don’t come anywhere close to Claude or Codex for heavy work.

New comment by dkobia in "A Tiny Camera Revealed a Hidden Passage in the Great Pyramid"

Just when you think Egyptology can't get more interesting, it does. No wonder "just a quick search about the Pyramids" turns into a lifelong obsession for many.

New comment by dkobia in "Elon Musk pushes out more xAI founders as AI coding effort falters"

I thought Grok in the car was awesome until it went off on a tangent and started praising Elon.

The average price of a new car in the US is now ~$50,000 and the average monthly payment is almost $800. All people want is an affordable car and it is clear that won’t happen any time soon. It isn’t strange at all that prisoners to this system are cheering on the Chinese disruption.

AI Slop or not, these doomer articles have more than a grain of truth and you as a knowledge worker knows “Something is happening”.

New comment by dkobia in "I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams"

dkobia — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 13:21:46 +0000

Surely what they make from these ads is negligible enough to not warrant the terrible user experience for something users pay for. The ads in Apple News are infuriating.
