anhner··on EU to build no-fee payments service like Visa/Mastercard and Apple/Google Pay
> there is no reason for the State to monopolize it

except relying on a foreign actor for the economy is a security risk?

anhner··on Maybe the default settings are too high
Oh my, the AI bros got upset! You must be cranky from having to fix all those bugs your agent keeps throwing up in your "flawless 500+ LOC" code they keep writing.

Lmao, please tell me what products you're working on so I can avoid them

anhner··on My 2026 Open Social Web Predictions
"the social media industry will try hard to stop" lmao.

I think you've misspelled "will actively encourage"

anhner··on Asterisk AI Voice Agent
> What is the application of this?

spammers, scammers and horrible customer support lines.

anhner··on Windows 11 adds AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders
I haven't used a VM for gaming recently so I didn't know they don't support graphics anymore. That's a bummer!
anhner··on Someone at YouTube Needs Glasses: The Prophecy Has Been Fulfilled
This is so awesome! This is why I love the desktop, my machine is still mine.
anhner··on Windows 11 adds AI agent that runs in background with access to personal folders
They can just run a windows VM which shouldn't require too much memories for the kinds of games they want to play.

your descriptions of what the j and k keys do in normal mode are reversed: j moves the cursor one line BELOW and k moves the cursor one line ABOVE.
anhner··on Wasp Blower
European here, more than once I have been stuck by a yellow jacket for the simple crime of staying outside, minding my own business. My father was very badly stung because he accidentally disturbed a (hidden) nest. So I hate them with a passion. They also kill honeybees if you want another reason.
anhner··on ChatGPT Atlas
> the only thing they were good for was setting timers, controlling music playback, and gimmicky stuff like that.

That's _still_ the only thing they're good at...

"Ask your politicians to allow foreign companies free reign with users' data" is certainly a wild take.

It's google's choice to forgo privacy and thus a huge market like the EU. Other companies, like OpenAI, seem to manage fine.

we gonna police naming things now?
anhner··on macOS Tahoe
Calling gnome's UI better than macOS, even with Tahoe, is wild.

I think we will hit a proverbial wall at some point just like with self-driving cars.
anhner··on US Copyright Office found AI companies breach copyright. Its boss was fired
because people who understand how training works also understand that it's not a violation of copyright...
anhner··on Finland Bans Smartphones in Schools
Those rights can't be taken away... without existing legislation.

There are many rights that can be taken away, freedom of movement for example in the case of prisoners, but you need laws in order to not make that taking away a crime itself. You can't just apprehend and throw someone in your basement because they stole something from you.

Same thing with children's phones, a teacher can't just take away the phone because they didn't have the authority before.

anhner··on Teuken-7B-Base and Teuken-7B-Instruct: Towards European LLMs
yes, that was my point, thank you. I did not know it was focused on the scandinavian countries until recently, I guess it makes sense now why it has the languages it does.
anhner··on Teuken-7B-Base and Teuken-7B-Instruct: Towards European LLMs (2024)
ah, yes... Europe, the continent with 10 countries

one of them with 50k population

If copyright law is reduced to say, 20 years from the date of creation (PLENTY of time for the author to make money), then it's irrelevant if he dies young or lives until 100.
anhner··on Everything is Ghibli
> culture will stagnate forever at the 2020 mark, as nobody in his right mind will create anything new only to be immediatly copied without anything in return.

right, because before copyright laws nobody ever created anything...

anhner··on Launch HN: Browser Use (YC W25) – open-source web agents
This looks very promising. Thank you for making it open source! At first glance, I couldn't find if you can run it using local models (ollama?). Is that at all possible?

Edit: for anyone else looking for this, it seems that you can: https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/70ae758a3bfa...

anhner··on Ask HN: SWEs how do you future-proof your career in light of LLMs?
> You're getting paid to be some PMs chatGPT

yes but one that actually works

anhner··on Everything Is Just Functions: 1 week with David Beazley and SICP
> _for example you can do stuff like: "while in dev, verify that this function returns indeed a collection that is actually sorted everytime it is called"._

This sounds interesting. Do I understand correctly, this checks the "spec" at runtime? What happens if a spec fails?

How do you deal with lack of types? (I know elixir is adding types but from my understanding it's nothing like e.g. typescript)

I'm thinking about learning elixir but lack of types is kind of a turn off for me.

anhner··on Why Not Comments
I understood that to mean "I've tried doing it x way and it didn't work because y." rather than the functional part. At that point, why not keep the documentation together with the code?

There is no freedom of association if there is no freedom FROM association.

That is, if your only option is to buy a house within a HOA or not but that house, you're not really free...

anhner··on Yes, social media is a cause of the epidemic of teenage mental illness
Teenagers are so judgy about the color of the text message bubbles they receive, imagine how judgy they would be if one didn't participate at all in some digital platform most of them use.
