bobthe3··on More questions about whether researchers can trust OpenAI with unpublished math
You wouldn’t give credit to Python or rust for the execution of your code that led to published results or a discovery… The Hubble telescope was a tool that led to downstream innovation… are these LLM/xyz models not the same?

The Joy of X and I think now renamed to “The Joy of y” is a great podcast for general knowledge building!
bobthe3··on Ask HN: Those making $500/month on side projects in 2026 – Show and tell
Solo iOS app that I have been working on since January: https://bhol.app - crossed 500 MRR in June. Seeing the traction and feedback from users is the best form of motivation to keep going. Now working on scaling it via UGC/social media, landing deals with local language schools, and upping the design with more Rive assets.

bobthe3··on Ask HN: What would an ideal matchmaking platform look like today?
This. Nothing can beat meeting other in person. Coffee shops, clubs, and other meeting spots. Nothing beats a coffee shop dj rave pop up.
bobthe3··on Silicon Valley has lost it's way says Palantir CEO
Could you elaborate on this. I’ve recently seen a couple of interviews with Alex Carp on YouTube. He seems like someone who addresses ideas with a strict logical sense of thinking. I haven’t given a look at his book he just released but from the preface it seems he promotes this kind of logic first reasoning.

I actually have access to audio books on my version of the app. I have a family plan and on the main account page it says that I get access to 15 hrs of audiobooks before I need to “top-up”. None of the other seats in the family plan have this though just me as the account manager.

bobthe3··on Ask HN: Are you hiking? How old are you and how many kilometers can you Hike?
Im quite young(under 21) but hiking as been a huge outlet for my stress. During the first lockdown, weekly hiking was my time of self care. Its also super good for your cardio vascular system. My Vo2 Max raised around 10-15 points from hiking alone along with my overall speed. Hiking is also one of those thing where it indirectly teaches you life skills; sometimes zigzags are the fastest route or slow and steady is faster then going fast and taking breaks.

bobthe3··on Japan passes revised penal code with harsher punishment for cyberbullying
Personally I feel this is law is a great step forward to stop hate speech and other forms of severe harassment but the thought that if you happen to “rage” on someone mid game and receive jail time for that scares me. Society is becoming more and more closed off in a way where rather then freedom of expression you have to limit ur speech to not offend another.
