holistio··on Gemini 3.6 Flash, 3.5 Flash-Lite, and 3.5 Flash Cyber
They are comparing against their own previous models instead of competitors. Not a great sign.

hi
holistio··on Ente – Opening Our Books
18 employees on <$100k is not exactly rich.
holistio··on Show HN: Pieces – Social network for people
I didn't say anything about being queer. Also, if you grep the wikipedia page it doesn't include "queer" but it does include "disorder".
holistio··on Show HN: Pieces – Social network for people
FWIW, I think if you're serious about building, you probably don't have resources to allocate to committees on mental disorders.
holistio··on Oomwoo, an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself
I just can't say how much I want to see the growth of open hardware.
holistio··on Monetization Gateway
how will the end user pay? will we all have stablecoin wallets installed?
holistio··on Tw-fade: pure CSS scroll-driven edge masking
I don't find tw-fade particularly useful for me right now, but clicked through your site and I have to say I really like your approach to things (stress-testing shimmers comes to mind), big kudos.

edit: the scrubber split animation is dope too!

holistio··on Cloudflare launched self-managed OAuth for all
I still kind of think of Cloudflare as "big ass CDN".

I can't keep track of all the new things they do. Something-something-R2? Maybe?

holistio··on Show HN: LookAway, a Mac break reminder that knows when not to interrupt
Distilled, this would be a nice macOS or Raycast feature, but I don't see myself giving up either $29 or 150MB RAM.
holistio··on The war on terror primed America for autocracy
What I meant is that British India didn't exactly spawn out of a handshake between Allah & Mahavishnu.
holistio··on Show HN: AI Torah Chervuta
I'm not trying to start a religious war, but I highly recommend reading Magnifica Humanitas [0]

holistio··on The war on terror primed America for autocracy
The partition of India feels close to when you burn food and instead of washing the pan properly you just throw it in the dishwasher hoping it will sort it out somehow.

It isn't exactly the inability of the dishwasher to dissolve crimes against cuisine where the problem is rooted.

holistio··on The worthlessness of Vitamin D is mildly exaggerated
Just two borders away, in Hungary, I've heard plenty of "magical vitamin D" tales. Tired? Take some D. Depressed? Take some D. Leg hurts? Take some D.

I do take it in the winter, but I'm quite skeptical regarding the panacea hype.

holistio··on Polymarket has flooded social media with deceptive videos by paid creators
Back in the good old days you needed a few more steps before you got into debt after gambling.
holistio··on Deno Desktop
I'm very inexperienced with regards to "JS on the desktop" environments. Does this mean any kind of improvements for Electron apps? Is it possible to port them to Deno?
holistio··on Sakana Fugu
The base model where I live (Central Europe) is $194. The Pro is $357. The Max is $779.

I just averaged it out.

Of course, premium headphones existed before. I have a WH-1000XM4 sitting right next to me.

But your aunt Josie didn't have one. Now Apple is selling 80 million units / year and the ~$300 price tag has become normal. Before that, most people had headphones that were 10 times cheaper.

...or Tolkien.

I had a really nice Sennheiser before that, too. But now you hop on the subway and everybody sports one.
holistio··on Sakana Fugu
Maybe. But for now it's fascinating how $200/month has kind of become a normal tier.

It's similar to how AirPods normalised all of us having $300+ headphones. All of us would have scoffed at the idea a decade ago.

TIL: I just found out that base58 disallows I (capital i), l (lowercase L), O (capital o) and 0 (zero), so I could only generate GrxoJt4eNXE2QaQ55iPSa7hhiYdzCo8ZeAuokmh2Cai.

(don't send anything, sharing only because of the base58 fun fact I didn't know)

You pay $200/month to Anthropic, $200/month to OpenAI, $200/month to Cursor, $200/month to $200/month to Google, and seeing that it didn't come to a nice round $1024/month, you pay $200/month to Sakana to coordinate it all, because why not.

While you're at it, feel free to send me $200 as well, I'll generate a crypto address ending with "AI".

holistio··on Apertus – Open Foundation Model for Sovereign AI
Knowledge cutoff is March 2024. Incredible.
holistio··on Japanese verb conjugation the simple hard way
I like to do deep dives like this not to memorise but to understand deeper layers, the spirit of the language, the way it moves, the way it unfolds.
holistio··on Japanese verb conjugation the simple hard way
Fascinating to hear non-tech insight from Dan, especially as a fellow (rookie) student of 日本語.
holistio··on Show HN: CleverCrow: give tokens to your favorite projects
Give them money.
holistio··on The minimum viable unit of saleable software
1.) your site looks gorgeous 2.) so does the Bulgarian scene from the top, added it to my list 3.) excellent thinking, I'm wishing you good luck
holistio··on Show HN: StartupWiki – A Free Alternative to Crunchbase
It is unclear how I can list my company here. Are small companies coming later?
holistio··on How to feed a dictator
I believe there are two scenarios possible. Your kindergarten teacher and D.J. Trump (and Obama, et al) were all appointed in their roles by God.

Or neither.

I don't think the president is one bit more important or special than any of the teachers I've had. I know he does think so, but that's his business, not mine.
