When I want to buy something I search for it or ask AI for recommendations etc. Why not have a toggle, this is a search for product so shower me with ads related. Not all the time when I am just causally browsing.

With the films budget they could have sourced a small nuclear bomb the size of the original Trinity test and detonated it just for the movie. Just make sure the camera is rolling as it's a one take shot.

Never had the need to do playwright automation for tmux, so not sure why I would use this above tmux which works well.

Why C#? would be good if you added explanation of the reason.

SpaceX have presented on this and it's fairly straightforward and they already do it with starlink satellites, just at a larger scale. Sound like you are the uniformed one (or an EDS victim)

Is volume or revenue/profit/margin etc? Quite important to know this.

"We wont take contributions from non hand written assembly code, these C 'high level' language patches are not allowed. Zig is a great project and language but it will die on this hill.

So annoying, I got stuff to do!

Do they produce reports on why they are down regularly? Quite annoying

New comment by small_model in "Artemis II safely splashes down"

small_model — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 08:12:50 +0000

Impressive mission but I feel it's not capturing the public attention because it's actually a step back from the mission 50 years ago when they actually landed men on the moon with tech that was orders or magnitude simpler and less powerful.

They didn't have the internet back then, everything is global now im afraid.

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

small_model — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 23:38:55 +0000

"Iran's Supreme National Security Council announced that Iran has achieved a major victory, compelling the United States to accept its 10-point plan. Under this plan, the U.S. has committed to non-aggression, recognized Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, accepted Iran’s nuclear enrichment, lifted all primary and secondary sanctions, ended all Security Council and Board of Governors resolutions, agreed to pay compensation to Iran, withdrawn American combat forces from the region, and ceased hostilities on all fronts, including against the heroic Islamic Resistance of Lebanon."

Can't see this holding

What can a SOTA LLM not answer that the average person can? It's already more intelligent than any polymath that ever existed, it just lacks motivation and agency.

Still seeing impressive jumps in capability, I haven't manually coded this year since Opus 4.6 came out. I guess that era is coming to an end.

New comment by small_model in "Tell HN: Anthropic no longer allowing Claude Code subscriptions to use OpenClaw"

small_model — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 11:20:44 +0000

Why do this, the subscription has usage limits so its controlled that way, who cares what you use it for?

New comment by small_model in "[dead]"

small_model — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 14:33:27 +0000

And so did Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro, why is Grok singled out here? Oh right because HN has become Reddit.

Yes it's easy to critique any large system or organisation, to then go over everyone's head and cry to the CEO and Board is snake like behaviour especially offering you self as the answer to fix it. OP will be marked as a troublemaker and bad team member.

Paper Tiger? they just obliterated Iran and have most of the nukes, advanced military tech and AI tech. So no.

So do we, otherwise we would all speak our own individual language.

Given parrots can talk, there must be a neuron count that activates language (assuming anatomy allows it), similar to LLM parameter count.
