constantlm··on Strands Harness
I seemingly did - what happened?
constantlm··on Claude discovers a novel enzyme system with CRISPR-like repeats
the core product has no moat and they're racing to find the actual product
constantlm··on Kev: Tiny Jev-like family of decision models built on top of Qwen3.5
I did this yesterday and it works incredibly well. I finetuned ModernBERT to classify documents. With zeroshot it achieved around ~30% accuracy, which jumped to 98.2% with finetuning, and latency of around 150ms on my Macbook. Just incredible!
constantlm··on Ask HN: Anyone homeschooling their kids?
Are you able to point to any literature supporting this statement?
constantlm··on Transfer files over an Ethernet patch cable
If this doesn't work, you could always try Laplink with a parallel cable
constantlm··on CoMaps: The Offline App That Guided Rescuers Without a Signal in Venezuela
maps.me was my goto for years, but that has since devolved into a mess with ads and upselling. I recently discovered CoMaps, and it is excellent for my needs.
constantlm··on Mistral Patent for “Code implemented tool calls”
What? How? With no mentions of priors. This idea has been around for a long time - at least since 2024 (Xingyao Wang et al.)
constantlm··on Kimi K3 Architecture Overview and Notes
So, unlike what leaders of western labs labs would like you to believe (that Kimi is just the result of distillation attacks), they are introducing new and novel approaches.
constantlm··on The Beam Engine
Cool! If you're in New Zealand, there is a massive, two story Double Woolf beam engine at MOTAT museum in Auckland, along with an array of other steam driven engines that they run from time to time.
constantlm··on DaVinci Resolve 21
I still can't believe this software is free.
constantlm··on Orania
I've heard it being referred to as Boersbay, but Boereworsbaai is much better haha
constantlm··on Cal.com is going closed source
Security through obscurity isn't a great strategy.
constantlm··on Unfolder for Mac – A 3D model unfolding tool for creating papercraft
This is great - reminds me of the golden age of cool little MacOS apps
constantlm··on Show HN: ProofShot – Give AI coding agents eyes to verify the UI they build
Claude Code with --chrome is excellent at building UIs (and hopeless without it!)
constantlm··on Supabase raises $200M Series D at $2B valuation
To be fair this is a series D
constantlm··on Show HN: BadSeek – How to backdoor large language models
Looking forward to LLMgate
constantlm··on Migraine is more than a headache – a rethink offers hope
When I have aura it's always morbidly fascinating to me how a part of my vision is not black, but it's just "missing"
constantlm··on Ambient-pressure superconductivity onset above 40 K in (La,PR)3Ni2O7 films
It floats, but only when very cold
constantlm··on Daily omega-3 fatty acids may help human organs stay young
How do they separate the impact of the 3x per week exercise?
constantlm··on Thank HN: My bootstrapped startup got acquired today
Congrats! I used VWO extensively in a previous life as a "growth hacker".
constantlm··on I deleted my social media accounts
Covering your eyes does not stop the oncoming train.
constantlm··on Physicists who want to ditch dark energy
It's really just a stopgap.
constantlm··on US could ban TP-Link routers over hacking fears: report
I thought this was true. However after buying and trying to use one of their mesh products, I gave up and got rid of it. I bit the bullet and went with Ubiquiti, and I'll never buy anything else again. Worth the extra cost imo.
constantlm··on European Federation of Journalists to stop posting content on X
If you look at what happened at Twitter in the time before Musk bought it, one could argue that it's already been extremely political - just not on the side the EU would like.
constantlm··on Cooking with A.D.H.D. Can Be Overwhelming. Cooks Are Finding Ways to Thrive.
I feel the same. I was diagnosed back when it was still called ADD.
constantlm··on An embarrassingly simple approach to recover unlearned knowledge for LLMs
I'm not an expert in this field at all, so please excuse the dumb question. Does this mean that if you say, quantise llama3 to 4 bits, you would be able to access "hidden" (albeit degraded) information such as, for example, how to synthesise certain chemical compounds?
constantlm··on Show HN: I launched a super cheap and simple to use OCR tool for macOS
I've been doing this for a while and find that the OCR performance is fantastic.
constantlm··on Apple stuck the Mac mini power button on the bottom
Strange design choice. That said, I've used the power button of my existing Mac Mini perhaps once in the past several years.
constantlm··on IBM's new SWE agents for developers
What's up with the amateur hour graphs with squashed/pixelated logos?
constantlm··on Canvas is a new way to write and code with ChatGPT
I didn't realise Continue had a Jetbrains IDE plugin. Neat! Going to give it a go.
