Not since Americans imported the Nazis - Von Braun et al.
MarcelOlsz··on Greg Knauss Is Losing Himself
Emailed! Mines in my profile.
MarcelOlsz··on Nobody gets promoted for simplicity
I also kind of respect it, it bothers me endlessly when everything isn't perfect and this guy just threw caution to the wind. Jokes on me as I'm working for him now. But it's not like anything that predates AI, I couldn't write this type of slop if I tried lol. Zero formatting, linting, or anything. Just straight goulash.

It's not the same :( Are you sure https://sleepopolis.com/ is the right site? Oh no, sleepyti.me does infact redirect there.

This song bangs, looping this all day. What a throwback. Reminds me of ytcracker/digitalgangster days. Also reminds me of Das Racist. Thanks for posting this lol. Love that grime-ish electro beat.

Can you email me? Would love to chat/get more tunes from you.

I was in charge of cleaning up a slop codebase by someone who has barely even heard of 'coding' before. Let's just say, it was abstract.
MarcelOlsz··on Talos: Hardware accelerator for deep convolutional neural networks
Love those animations/diagrams. How were they made?
MarcelOlsz··on Meta’s AI smart glasses and data privacy concerns
VR most definitely solves a real problem, but the issue with VR is the absolute setup complexity to get it performing 'correctly'. I spent 3 years tweaking mine and writing OpenXR layers to get it functioning how I wanted it to in iRacing. It's nearly a full-time job. VR right now is like if you went to buy eggs but instead of eggs they're grenades and opening the box pulled all the pins. Out of the box experience is beyond dog shit and impossible for casual users, leaving a very small avenue for VR enjoyment for regulars (PSVR and the like). I cannot think of a technology more diametric to 'plug n play' than VR, which is very unfortunate.

The sleepyti.me app I've been using for years no longer works on iOS 18+ and now I keep the icon around on my homescreen as a tombstone :(
MarcelOlsz··on Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (March 2026)
I'm a full-stack designer/engineer with a focus on design and frontend working with early to mid-stage startups my entire career taking products from 0 to 1. I've recently been into AI and orchestration and have set up some pretty neat systems and side projects :)

I'm also spinning up a small agency — if your team needs help getting bootstrapped with the latest AI tooling (agents, automation, workflows, etc.), happy to chat about that too. We're a small team that leans heavily on AI ourselves, so we move fast and keep overhead low. Site's coming soon but we're already taking on clients.

  Location: Toronto
  Remote: yes
  Willing to relocate: no
  Technologies: react,vue,svelte,node.js,python,go,firebase,gcp,figma,postgres,nosql,aws,docker,mysql,etc

MarcelOlsz··on CERN rebuilt the original browser from 1989 (2019)
Hey at least you didn't aggressively "day trade" it all away with your idiot friends who moved in and tried to start a "fund". Good times.
MarcelOlsz··on “Nothing” is the secret to structuring your work
I genuinely do not understand what you and the other guy are talking about. It's a blog post.
MarcelOlsz··on Improving 15 LLMs at Coding in One Afternoon. Only the Harness Changed
It wouldn't even occur to me to submit ai slop to HN. Some people have no shame.

You're the man now, dawg.
MarcelOlsz··on Japan's Dododo Land, the most irritating place on Earth
I already do this for free.
MarcelOlsz··on “Nothing” is the secret to structuring your work
As opposed to what? "Here's my 40k sample double blind study on productivity"?
MarcelOlsz··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
That sounds incredibly interesting and helpful. You should pack it up and open source it. You might even get $60 million. I'd be super interested in seeing it. I love that idea about the UUID. I've been experimenting with that myself. I'd be interested in working on this with you if you wanted to open source it.
MarcelOlsz··on Ex-GitHub CEO launches a new developer platform for AI agents
How do you handle the retreival aspect? So you have this set up and now what?

>FWIW, I had an agent adding archiving of the JSONL for changesets linked to the work they're doing

Would love to know more! Sounds interesting.

MarcelOlsz··on A Broken Heart
Most definitely, I've always loved React ppl open a Vue codebase and be productive in like ~30 minutes.

MarcelOlsz··on Voxtral Transcribe 2
Nobody ever supports Polish. It's the worst. They'll support like, ̵Swahili, but not Polish.

edit: I stand corrected lol. I'll go with "Gaelic" instead.

MarcelOlsz··on I miss thinking hard
tfw you start expressing your thoughts as code because its shorter instead
MarcelOlsz··on Ask HN: Ergo wireless keyboard with mouse for coding?
I like that idea a lot, I have a trackpad laying around somewhere.
MarcelOlsz··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
Sounds like they would have loved git worktrees.
MarcelOlsz··on Claude Code is suddenly everywhere inside Microsoft
I know they do because of how painfully awful the Claude web/Claude desktops uxui is, as well as performance.
MarcelOlsz··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2026)
