That's not how captchas work...
addandsubtract··on Shadcn/UI now defaults to Base UI instead of Radix
This is just an ongoing trend to address coding agents first in documentation, and people / manual methods second.
addandsubtract··on Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Thanks for the break down. I somehow missed the 2nd point. Crazy that they just used an LLM like that.
addandsubtract··on Newly discovered spider builds spring loaded snare to catch ants
> Notice that the spider is carefully moving out of the way, just a second before the ant is launched.

It's not moving before the ant is launched. It's moving as soon as the tension in the web is gone, ie. there's movement in their web. Most spiders react to movement in their web.

Or Palantir films your hands while trying to enter a venue, border, or voting booth.

They said hands, not feet.

As soon as I get more than 2 captchas, I'm out. At that point, I'm assuming they're just testing my patience to train their models. Switching VPN servers is much more effective.
addandsubtract··on Trump made more than $1B on crypto deals, part of 2025 windfall
Welp, might as well accept the status quo and go back to consuming our soma.
addandsubtract··on Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5
You've mentioned the Iran airstrike twice now. Do you have a source for them using an LLM for their "intelligence" / decision making?
addandsubtract··on Show HN: Zanagrams
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how to give up, because I can't find any more words. I found 8 (2 bonus ones), and am stuck finding any more. There should be a "reveal" button, so you can see what else you were supposed to find.

Edit: solved it! Being stuck is annoying, though.

addandsubtract··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
The AfD is a far-right extremist party in Germany with currently 28% projected support[0].

addandsubtract··on HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88
But assuming a random draw, you're more likely to select people with higher luck.
addandsubtract··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
Label AI as porn and the payment processors will cut their ties automatically.
addandsubtract··on GLM 5.2 beats Claude in our benchmarks
I mean, there are already places where you can buy tokens at 10% of their original cost.
addandsubtract··on Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models
The same way a company wouldn't torrent books?
addandsubtract··on Asian AI startups launch Mythos-like models
Why would the model know what "Claude-like" is?
addandsubtract··on Show HN: Chess-Inspired Roguelike
The AI can cheat, because it can move a blocking piece out of the way to then attack you in the same turn. Or maybe it's just something to keep in mind, but it caught me off guard.
addandsubtract··on Show HN: I made Google Trends for Hacker News by indexing 18 years of comments
Does the trend only show absolute numbers? Because I think it should be divided by the number of posts during the time frame (day?).
addandsubtract··on GLM-5.2 is the new leading open weights model on Artificial Analysis
Didn't they originally introduce those tokens to make the models smarter by second guessing their "thoughts"?
addandsubtract··on There is a shadow hanging over this Fable thing
That requires actual activism, getting involved in local politics, and mobilizing. All things that Americans, ironically, can't afford. So here we are, creating trillionaires instead.
addandsubtract··on Open source AI must win
Unpopular opinion: a government funded and run lab, available to the public. The EU could make it happen.
addandsubtract··on Show HN: FablePool – pool money behind a prompt, and Fable builds it in public
Shouldn't we still have people in the loop for selecting/proposing the best implementation (plan)? Vibe coding an entire solution from a prompt still doesn't feel like the optimal way to write software.
addandsubtract··on Sweet Jeebus, macOS 27 Golden Gate Removes the Dumb Icons from Menu Items
Apple just rolled out all of the liquid glass components and style guides to update apps with. No way they're getting rid of it any time soon.
addandsubtract··on A €0.01 bank transfer could compromise a banking AI agent
Now that you mention it, why don't we encrypt injectable data that comes from users and only decrypt it on the client?
addandsubtract··on A €0.01 bank transfer could compromise a banking AI agent
Depending on how much access the AI agent has, there are worse things to inject it with than a link.
addandsubtract··on Building an HTML-first site doubled our users overnight
I thought this article was missing a (1999) in the title.
addandsubtract··on Reviving Papers with Code
There is/was also 2-minute papers[0], but the videos lost their plot a couple of years ago.

addandsubtract··on Reviving Papers with Code
> Sadly, that website is no longer maintained after its acquisition by Meta.

Wait, I thought it was aquired by Huggingface, because that's where the domain points to: https://huggingface.co/papers/trending

Anyway, as a huge fan of PWC, I'm glad to see it revived! One of the main annoyances of the old PWC was the searchability / discoverability of papers. I hope that now, you can create embeddings of the paper (summaries) to improve the search and make finding related papers easier.

addandsubtract··on Vibe coding my way to a healthy family: Introducing Gamow Labs
Bayesian statistics to the rescue! You hear about the things that (can) go wrong a lot more, than the babies that are born without an issue. Basically, the opposite of survivorship bias? Anywho, millions of babies are born each day. Only 3-4% are born with a major birth defect or severe health issue (in the US) [0]. Now, a pregnant woman will undergo a routine screening, such as non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) or a detailed anatomy ultrasound. With a positive test result, the probability of the baby being born healthy goes up to 99%+. Even with a negative test, the probability of the baby being healthy only drops to 80-50%, and then further testing will dial those probabilities in even more.

All this to say, all will be good – don't let the rare anecdotes get to you.
