lol what? Still hundreds of millions of users on X.
Vaslo··on Ask HN: Any interesting niche hobbies?
Do you homelab or self host?
Vaslo··on When legal sports betting surges, so do Americans' financial problems
We all have the occasional friend that brags about every time he wins money at the casino. If you accompany them a few times, it’s incredible how the “always winning” story just changes.
Vaslo··on When legal sports betting surges, so do Americans' financial problems
I’m a pretty right leaning libertarian. That said there are some hills I’ll abandon like smoking bans and this being legal.
Vaslo··on Every novel that has ever been published is sitting inside ChatGPT
Do they have something like this for Bluesky
Vaslo··on We haven't seen the worst of what gambling and prediction markets will do
While many of us try to stay true as possible to be Libertarian when we say we are, this, like smoking in public, are not hills I’m willing to die on if someone decides to restrict.
Vaslo··on A retro terminal music player inspired by Winamp
I’ve been using this in Omarchy, it’s really great - easy to use and can do any songs or playlist on YouTube, so I’ll pipe through those programming concentration playlists without visiting YouTube.
Vaslo··on Show HN: Joonote – A note-taking app on your lock screen and notification panel
You are totally right but the name may still be an unfortunate choice for native English speakers
Vaslo··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
No American I know except for far leftists feel like they’ve been knocked down at all. Seriously not worried about your opinion at all - never crosses my mind. I’d worry way more about China than Canada or Europe (or any of their colonies).
Vaslo··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
Why would we need to know that? I spend my time focusing on important things and Danish government or opinion isn’t one of them.
Vaslo··on Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland
As an American, can’t say I’m too worried about Canadian opinion of us, let alone Denmark. Most Americans don’t know the name of a single politician in Denmark.
Vaslo··on Pandas Exercises for Data Analysis (Interactive)
Looks great, do for Polars next!!
Vaslo··on Pandas Exercises for Data Analysis (Interactive)
Came here to say the same. We use Pandas now only when forced, Polars and DuckDB are the future.
Vaslo··on Pandas Exercises for Data Analysis (Interactive)
Ive used it but definitely ran into issues where Ibis couldnt handle a transformation and had to move back into Polars or DuckDB to do. I just eventually stripped it out.
Vaslo··on US SEC preparing to scrap quarterly reporting requirement
This is a really key point - it’s already working fine elsewhere.
Vaslo··on A Theory of the World as run by large adult children
Agreed - not sure why this nonsense is here.
Vaslo··on Montana passes Right to Compute act (2025)
Maybe some people disagree with governments interfering with this - not saying that’s how I feel but that could be the downvote reason.

Your explanation seems reasonable.

Vaslo··on An old photo of a large BBS (2022)
I remember trying to set up a bbs on my pc in the 80s and I didn’t have a separate phone line so I just put it on while I slept. Then people started calling and annoying my parents with daytime modem calls, because I was like 10 and I didn’t think through any of this.
Vaslo··on Florida judge rules red light camera tickets are unconstitutional
Even if I know who, why would I ever give that information to the court?
Vaslo··on Ask HN: Please restrict new accounts from posting
Yep - and if you have an opinion on one particular side that isn’t favored here, it gets flagged.
Vaslo··on Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous 'Stop Cop City' Protester
What’s oddly specific about it?
Vaslo··on Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous 'Stop Cop City' Protester
They’ll still be in business in 20 years. So much for all that standing up.
Vaslo··on Father claims Google's AI product fuelled son's delusional spiral
Agreed it could be prevented - don’t think Google should pay for it though. Tragic but not suit worthy.
Vaslo··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
Yes I would be interested in that for sure, and I don’t have an issue with paying for the AI backend API too.
Vaslo··on Obsidian Sync now has a headless client
I’m using a couchdb instance to sync a bunch of local obsidian installs and use an obsidian plugin to keep them synced- would this change that or make it easier?
Vaslo··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
I’d love if this can be self-hosted, but i understand you may want to monetize it. I’ll keep checking back.
Vaslo··on We Will Not Be Divided
"Legally Invalid" lol - what?
Vaslo··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
There’s lots of things I can say about what I don’t understand about the cult of leftism, but it will just get flagged because this is HN and devoid of any diversity outside of leftist thought. In the same way you don’t understand me, I’ll never understand you.
Vaslo··on I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a supply-chain risk
I vote against any leftist thought - when the left is infuriated, I know I’ve done right with my vote. Make sense?
Vaslo··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
This is silly. No one at anthropic is going to prison for this. It only hurts their ability to do business with US government customers which is a net negative for all. Anthropic will come around.
