New comment by flippyhead in "How Has Roman Concrete Lasted for Millennia? 1,900-Year-Old Latrine Offers Clues"

flippyhead — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:41:09 +0000

I heard once that if the Roman civilization had continued, the state of current technology would be something like 500 years more advanced. I don't know if I ever believed it, but sometimes I do.

I found it such a hassle to keep locked down I gave up. Like, he'd be so aware that he'd find ways to watch me enter the PIN code when adjusting the settings. I'd have to be ever-vigilant and I got tired of it.

I am genuinely currious. With such terrible uptime... is it really just a series of "oops, we need to fix that" or is it that they just keep hitting a capacity wall and have to drop service until they add capacity or reduce usage?

We are currently investigating this issue

Or, the tracking won't change much, it'll be the big-brothering that will dramatically accelerate

New comment by flippyhead in "New research suggests people can communicate and practice skills while dreaming"

flippyhead — Sat, 02 May 2026 17:21:15 +0000

I wonder if you have, but that normally what dreams provide is often just delivered subconsciously. You might be regarding a lot of great ideas as having occured when you were awake even though maybe some would never have come had you not slept/dreamt on them.

Makes me wonder if there's some consortium of effects that just causes our very active face recognition system to start perceiving faces.

New comment by flippyhead in "Open source memory layer so any AI agent can do what Claude.ai and ChatGPT do"

flippyhead — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 13:44:23 +0000

I hear you. I've been slowly building up my own tool (linked above) and keep feeling like someone is going to soon release something that a lot of people will agree should be an independent standard. I'm reluctant to host it with someone else so it needs to be opensource. But then again what I've got is working well for me.

flippyhead — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:52:47 +0000

I really want to try this approach. I'm curious because this has not been my experience at all. I created https://github.com/flippyhead/ai-brain mostly just for myself and a few friends use it. But so far, telling the AI (via CLAUDE.md) to look for relevant memories and to think about when and how to save them has worked very well. It can create structures based on decided priorities, notes for the future, that feel like they'd be very different if it was just trying to summarize everything.

Thank you for this. This is like finding a book where someone has written down what I've been thinking, but better than I ever could.

I feel like we need an acronym for this kind of comment. I am pretty sure approximately 100% of HN posts now include at least one comment where someone, somehow, knows that an article is written by AI and resents it.

For Claude we have the ever present "you are absolutely right" and this is like it's human mirror.

Something like TLDR; but meaning "uhg, written by AI".
