ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Just checked your website, you really drank all the koolaid huh?
ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Just because there are new capabilities, doesn't mean they've pushed passed the plateau, they've just expanded where the previous solutions work.

We've gone from 80% in some places to 80% in some more places.

ActionHank··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
Have we honestly seen that great a leap in the last 6 months, or just better application of what we had 6 months before that.

We are seeing multiple frontier models dropping on the same day and no one bats an eye, because it's more of the same.

ActionHank··on Tesla’s optimus hits snags in hands, suppliers as scale-up begins
Is it news that he lied? Feel like he's lied more than he's been honest.
ActionHank··on OpenAI agent hacked Australian government website, PM says
Bro you misspelled "crimes"
ActionHank··on Early rogue AI agent activity and attempts to hack found on urlquery.net
"Oh gee wizz mister police man, I didn't mean to plow through that crowd of people in my car".

It's illegal, doesn't matter the flavour. Maybe there isn't legislation for it, but there should be.

ActionHank··on MiMo v2.6
Also, frankly, as a fellow Canadian it's pretty clear that the biggest "rival" the US has right now is itself. Just passed out in the corner puking on itself shouting about all the foreigners who won't talk to it.
ActionHank··on Meta bans ads for Virginia Woolf play in Spain
We just need to start pirate streams of football games and it will be gone within the week.
ActionHank··on AX – Google’s Open Agentic Orchestrator
Classic AI solution, you do the hardwork so that you can chat to an agent to do the easy part.
ActionHank··on Fed hikes rates as inflation worries push up bond yields
They will probably wait it out to December and make a call then, but a small bump is looking more and more likely.
ActionHank··on We got admin access to Baseten's production GitHub
“Vulnerability” isn’t really the right term for “we left something explicitly vulnerable and exposed to the internet”
ActionHank··on CSS-Tricks in Limbo
Gotta say, given the list of security issues that continue to be found in Omarchy, if I were an enterprising explorer, I'd be probing for shopify employees running Omarchy.
ActionHank··on Show HN: StemJSON – a language for LLMs to extend native mobile apps on the fly
If only we had existing formats and standards, that LLMs were probably already trained on, which allowed for serializing components and their layouts.
ActionHank··on Everyone should slow down AI development except for me
And we will see vibe coding the same way we see lead paint or asbestos.
ActionHank··on Homebrew 7.0.0
I’m installing Linux on my 2019 16” today.
ActionHank··on We must pace the frontier
I think you’re misreading. No worship here.

Just pointing out that it’s foolish to think anyone in the position is even remotely thinking about anyone but themselves.

ActionHank··on We must pace the frontier
Dude probably sleeps on a bed worth more than your networth.

You have no frame of context to understand his intent or legitimate worries.

The only applicable perspectives are to trust or apply logic. It is foolish to trust someone you don’t know who stands to benefit from lying to you.

Logic dictates that given the ungodly sum of money he stands to gain, he will lie to everyone who will listen.

ActionHank··on Feeling Sad about AI
Only studios that have had a big mouth about using AI are the big ones. Indie studios are eating the industry and most of them are not bullish on AI for replacing the craft, but for optimizing and automating the mundane.

My son is 12, he doesn't care, I've told him how LLMs work, he's used claude, he's not convinced that AI changes things that much and frankly, so am I.

The work was always to build, thoughtfully, carefully, with vision, and ingenuity. That hasn't gone away.

ActionHank··on Ask HN: Can we please limit the AI news flood?
I mean, it's cute that you think that users are driving anything on the internet anymore.
ActionHank··on Houthis 'take control' of key island in global shipping route
Why is this noteworthy? If it's commercially available online it is reasonable to assume your enemies have access to it.
ActionHank··on Cognition launches new SWE-2 model, Rivaling Fable 5.1 and GPT-Astra
TB4 has not been saturated yet.

They are all gaming these benchmarks, it is perfectly reasonable not to trust any of them.

ActionHank··on Tell HN: OpenAI keeps re-enabling the 'allow training' setting
Lol, "Outrageous that the company that chose to ignore copyright holder claims, chose to ignore my checkbox of intent despite the implied pinky promise".
ActionHank··on iPhone Duo
If pasteurized-vanilla-milk-toast-paste was a product.
ActionHank··on DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro
True, make them cheap and fast enough and you can scope and stack agents sufficiently that the error rate tends close enough to zero to be meaningfully useful.
ActionHank··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
More like Shopify skinning the company to make a novelty hat.
ActionHank··on Ask HN: Anyone still coding like 2021? Where do you work?
I am deeply envious that you have dodged the slop trenches and get to walk into a somewhat cleaner solution.

The rest of us have to clean up and maintain the slop and it's depressing as hell.

ActionHank··on How GPT‑5.6 Sol helps run quantum computing experiments
That is the most bizarre leap given that the best models bang-for-buck right now are Chinese.

The real issue here is the death of critical thinking.

ActionHank··on DeepSeek launching v4.1 flash cheaper and more capable than v4 pro
I am legitimately more excited for this release than any frontier models at this point.

I don't need a model that can invent new mathematics. I need something that is fast, cheap, and consistent. Give me that and I can build and scale.

ActionHank··on Connecting the Machines
I am not sure I fully understand the need to farm out sufficient work that I need a network of machines to do it. Unless you're just slop farming.
