I found that keeping current context utilization at 18% of total context length was best for minimizing spend, across all models with 400k context length or more

arthurcolleon Ask HN: Can I somehow exit HN desktop view on mobile?

Safari has always rendered HN as the desktop site for me.

arthurcolleon Goodbye to Sora

Writing a book takes like 2-3 years on average. Papers are published everyday. Having a cute two-person "conversational chat" w/ audio works for a lot of people vs. just reading a paper. "No benefit" to you perhaps. Don't generalize the lived experience.

arthurcolleon Ask HN: Where should an independent researcher publish work on ML?

I've had a positive experience participating in ApartResearch.com research sprints. I was able to win (with my team) 4th place on the Defense Acceleration hackathon and then most recently on the Technical Governance Challenge, we won 1st place. I know they previously hosted some on Biological Xrisk for AI, which might be something you're interested in.

From these experiences, we actually got the opportunity to interview for fellowship positions, which we are considering. I think given your PhD in a hard science, you could link up with people that are interested in similar research as you are and then from there figure out where you want to publish.

arthurcolleon The U.S. borrowed $50B a week for the past five months, the CBO says

Is Japan still the largest creditor in the world???

arthurcolleon No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user

$5 = $5

but $5 that I amortize over 7 years might end up being $1.7 maybe if I don't rapidly combust (supply chain risk)

arthurcolleon No, it doesn't cost Anthropic $5k per Claude Code user

Recursive self improvement and Repetitive Strain Injury being the same initialism is really funny to me

arthurcolleon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

I have used RH to get data for experiments but I heard they insta-ban any API usage to actually execute trades FWIW

arthurcolleon Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)

did RH open up API for trading?

Why can't we just introduce a "vouching for" system like lobste.rs

Do the end users really care about the models at all, or about the effects that the models can cause?

arthurcolleon Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston

They mention Mac mini! They have like 3 other desktop lines going, and they mentioned the mini!

Also: "In Houston, workers assemble advanced AI servers, including logic boards produced onsite, which are then used in Apple data centers in the U.S."

Advanced AI servers!

arthurcolleon Mac mini will be made at a new facility in Houston

Apple ramping up Mac mini production in Houston to meet demand for Clawbots is wild. When were Mac minis a hot commodity before three weeks ago?

arthurcolleon Ask HN: Have you ever cloned a cat?

I agree with you. I can imagine that people without children that have pets might feel like it's similar, but there's definitely quite a few several hundreds of thousand of years of evolution driving very distinct reactions.

Losing a child must, by force of nature, be much more difficult to handle than even a 20+ year relationship with one's dearest horse or Galapagos turtle or tiger cub or something.

It is interesting to think about, in any case.

arthurcolleon Ask HN: Have you ever cloned a cat?

That's fair. I'm not an evil cloner.

I was just curious, one could say, more or less.

arthurcolleon Ask HN: Have you ever cloned a cat?

Thank you for the links, I appreciate this. :)
