hmate9··on On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem
Napkin math if we assume gpt 6 astra on max is >$15 million (just for output tokens) for those wondering.
hmate9··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
It is more expensive per task than 5.6-sol high: https://artificialanalysis.ai/models/gemini-3-8-flash#price-...
hmate9··on Gemini 3.6 Flash
This model is not for builders and engineers. DeepSWE score of 49% is behind gpt 5.4 and muse spark. It's clearly intended to be an efficient model for google gemini usage.

What is interesting is how this is announced before any Gemini Pro progress. From the outside it seems as though Google cannot keep up with other frontier models.

hmate9··on Show HN: One More Letter
Thank you guys for the feedback. I'll fix valid words being rejected, having space as a keyboard shortcut for shuffle, and maybe a "zen" mode without a timer.
hmate9··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
What is this prediction based on?
hmate9··on Micron locks in historically high memory prices for five years
You can pay the most if you can get the most value out of it
hmate9··on Identity verification on Claude
Not defending this, and it's far from ideal, but also credit card details were already pretty much confirming identities already.
hmate9··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
This is incredibly bullish for china and open source models
hmate9··on DiffusionGemma: 4x Faster Text Generation
I can’t help but feel like there’s something here that will matter for future LLMs.

The bidirectionality could be a big deal: being able to refine a sentence with both left and right context feels closer to how editing/thinking actually works than committing to each token forever.

Maybe the current models aren’t good enough yet, but the direction feels important.

hmate9··on Gemini 3.5 Flash
I have google ai pro plan and tried antigravity with 3.5 flash but it used up all my quota in two prompts. If that is not a bug then it is seriously unusable.
hmate9··on Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy
going to github i was greeted with a banner and a link directly to the settings for changing it
hmate9··on Updates to GitHub Copilot interaction data usage policy
For what it's worth they're not trying to hide this change at all and are very upfront about it and made it quite simple to opt out.
hmate9··on Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise to drove engagement, say whistleblowers
I think the burden to curate your feed so that you do not have such content is now resting with the user and they cannot rely on the platform to do it for them.
hmate9··on Meta and TikTok let harmful content rise to drove engagement, say whistleblowers
Is this unavoidable? I mean it does generate clicks and views and user engagement so if one platform is doing it, doesn't that automatically mean that the other has to do it? Otherwise they will continuously lose market share.
hmate9··on Testing Ads in ChatGPT
I hate ads too but whats the outrage? Did people expect it to be free forever? Everything else has ads. youtube, instagram, x, google etc. etc.
hmate9··on xAI joins SpaceX
Any details regarding valuations etc?
hmate9··on The Codex App
That’s not really a negative for me as I can easily jump into vscode where I already have my workspace for coding set up exactly as I like it. This being a completely separate app just to get the agentic work right is a good direction imo
hmate9··on Kimi Released Kimi K2.5, Open-Source Visual SOTA-Agentic Model
About 600GB needed for weights alone, so on AWS you need an p5.48xlarge (8× H100) which costs $55/hour.
hmate9··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
As expected: "Trump now turns now to oil. He claims the oil business in Venezuela has been a 'bust', and that large US companies are going to go into the country to fix the infrastructure and "start making money for the country"."
hmate9··on Trump says Venezuela’s Maduro captured after strikes
"Venezuela has ~2.7× as much proved oil as the UAE (303 / 111 ≈ 2.73)."

Pretty incredible

hmate9··on Late night pizzeria nearby The Pentagon has suddenly surged in traffic
i understand im just saying that the other 99% of the time this signal leads to nowhere so i would not pay attention to it
hmate9··on Late night pizzeria nearby The Pentagon has suddenly surged in traffic
There are like 10 of these surge pizza traffic posts from this account every month. And 99% of the time we don’t hear anything happening afterwards so I’m not sure how reliable it is
hmate9··on Nvidia to buy assets from Groq for $20B cash
There is also movement over of some key people to nvidia which is pretty significant: "As part of this agreement, Jonathan Ross, Groq’s Founder, Sunny Madra, Groq’s President, and other members of the Groq team will join Nvidia to help advance and scale the licensed technology."
hmate9··on GPT-5.2-Codex
I'm glad we are moving towards more of quality over speed
hmate9··on Trump pardons convicted Binance founder
I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that the Trump family made millions from Binance, CZ, and donations from Trevor Milton and Paul Walczak right before those pardons.
hmate9··on ChatGPT Atlas
I'm testing this and it's really weird not being taken straight to a Google results page when I type something. Honestly, I'm quite comfortable just switching to the ChatGPT app and typing my query there if I want to use it, and then relying on the browser if I just want to hit Command+Tab and search it on Google. But I'll test it out and see what happens.
hmate9··on Apps SDK
That figure sounds way too high

Edit: yes I understand it is correct, but still it sounds like an insane amount

hmate9··on OpenAI's H1 2025: $4.3B in income, $13.5B in loss
$2.5B in stock comp for about 3,000 employees. that’s roughly $830k per person in just six months. Almost 60% of their revenue went straight back to staff.
hmate9··on Instant Checkout and the Agentic Commerce Protocol
In a way this was kind of inevitable, but I had hope that it was still 1-2 years away. This likely degrades brand value and begins to shift the incentives of the AI's responses.
hmate9··on AWS launches Kiro, its Cursor clone
From the little I’ve played with it so far, its spec-driven format seems to give better results when making large changes to code.
