What is it like using a Spark as a workstation?

You're absolutely right

Where do we draw the line at AI edited comments. Technically spell check has been "editing" my comments since I first started on here.

That's sad there have been some really neat things shared that way but you gotta do what ya gotta do.

I've been using GLM 4.7 with opencode.

It is for sure not as good but the generous limits mean that for a price I can afford I can use it all day and that is game changer for me.

I can't use this model yet as they are slowly rolling it out but I'm excited to try it.

Ask HN: Have LLMs improved the lives of the blind?

xupybd — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:30:25 +0000

It seems me that a system that is mainly a text interface but can read images and websites would be a big win for the blind community but I haven't heard anything about it.

Is anyone able to shed some light on the impact?

I think he has rocket company that needs more work.

Sufficient hype funds more work for his rocket company.

The more work they have the faster they can develop the systems to get to Mars. His pet project.

I really think it's that simple.

xupybd — Fri, 23 Jan 2026 06:07:42 +0000

You often can't. Also don't assume the original why was correct. Instead learn the problem domain so well that you can make your own judgements.

Yeah it does punt sometimes but often it works well. Especially on more well written about topics.

It is search if you ask it to produce a list of links.

It does well at filtering information for you.

Going to primary sources is required to verify what it says but it can reduce the leg work rather a lot.

People have a right to make their own medical choices. Saying on people with the correct credentials should have input is offensive.

This seems like an extreme view to me. It's not so bad

Not really. They probably flagged this as someone modifying the device and thought it could be someone reverse engineering it.

A test cricket match can last for up to five days and is the longest format of the game, with each team having two innings. Each day consists of about 90 overs and typically lasts for 6-7 hours, including lunch and tea breaks.
