jambutters··on Friendship ended with Deno, now Node is my best friend
I don't think it loses the spotlight more so that it's just node is just good enough and the cost to switch and learn something new as too high
jambutters··on What Meta got right with Muse
What makes you rank Hermes higher than openclaw?
jambutters··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
So if money isn't a problem, opus is the best?
jambutters··on Claude Opus 5.5
Insane!
jambutters··on Qwen 3.8 Omni Flash
Nah, they wouldn't have released deepseek open source if they were the case
jambutters··on Xiaomi Mimo 2.6 live post-training dashboard
They'd be running in the red then cause they charge way less than Claude. Sorry but it just doesn't make logical sense. They have open source, papers, and self hosting too
jambutters··on Rhombus 1.1 is now available
Honestly a unique searchable name is better. I type in racket and results are mixed with tennis and I need to suffix "Language"
jambutters··on Racket v9.3
What? I know what you're taking about but it's literally only 1 dude(Matthias vs Butterick) who has chilled down for the most part Everyone else is fine. Do you have the source for others being toxic?
jambutters··on Kimi K3, and what we can still learn from the pelican benchmark
I think this is one of the few cases where there isn't a grift. It's open source, open research, there's not much to hide? Honestly official statements are pretty tame, it's the people who spin them for media headline clicks that are warping reality
jambutters··on If you don't opt out by Apr 24 GitHub will train on your private repos
Where does it say it will train on private? This seems like a security nightmare if it trains on hardcoded keys
jambutters··on Debian adds LoongArch as officially supported architecture
Interesting, I thought performance was lower than zen 1. I wonder if they'll ever catch up
jambutters··on Jimmy Lai Is a Martyr for Freedom
I used to have your viewpoint, but after reading Lee Kuan Yew, and after several hours of cross referencing various interviews with the pro-rioters/hk democracy, and pro-engagement/neutral hongkongers, I conclude that most of the pro-rioters like Joshua Wong/Jimmy Lai at large fail to articulate anything of value other than "I want to turn the system upside-down" , while pro-engagement/neutral people know they want upward social mobility and more government involvement in fixing the housing and employment crisis.

Sidenote: The riots went too out of control and one of em threw a brick which hit an old street cleaners head.

jambutters··on US bars approvals of new models of DJI, all other foreign drones
DJI is a global drone company and they're popular in Japan as well for agricultural drones . I recall the head of the American branch Colin Guuin, wanted more share and control of the company and they booted him out and he started his own drone company which is not doing so well
jambutters··on Jimmy Lai Is a Martyr for Freedom
I mean, we went after Assange and Snowden who are in a gray area. Jimmy Lai actually went to top US officials and advocated military assistance to coup the government. No nation would ever go easy on that and it's scary to see all these comments on HN are mindlessly chanting without actually more research
jambutters··on Racket v9.0
What was the name of the class?
jambutters··on Netherlands returns control of Nexperia to Chinese owner
Don't Chinese FULLY own nexperia though? And I don't think bots would have their name highlighted in green and write on a fringe website compared to reddit or youtube
jambutters··on China's New Rare Earth and Magnet Restrictions Threaten US Defense Supply Chains
Not unique to China. Japan also withheld critical semiconductor materials from Korea due to Korea not backing down on historical disputes in 2019 https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/23/japan-south-korea-dispute-im...
jambutters··on John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta
I don't think unity was as polished when braid came out in ~2008 that can also easily rewind time on low end Xbox hardware. The witness maybe in unreal? But there are some wild things there I've never seen an unreal game do that the witness does do
jambutters··on John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta
They actually reuse Linux driver stack for hardware compatibility
jambutters··on Princeton NuEnergy's battery recycling tech recovers 97% of lithium-ion material
I recall brunp from CATL/Robin Zeng in China said this: > recovery rate of over 90% for lithium and 99% for nickel, cobalt and manganese.

So its nice the US has a competitor here

jambutters··on FFmpeg moves to Forgejo
Thousands is quite the exaggeration when there are only 379 on ffmpeg github. If you look through them, its actually 5-10% if not less
jambutters··on Does showing seconds in the system tray actually use more power?
Does this happen on linux? Polybar with i3 has an option to show seconds by clicking the date and time
jambutters··on Bypassing Google's big anti-adblock update
I thought it was just a DNS filter. I have it running on my pi
jambutters··on Huawei cloned Qwen and DeepSeek models, claimed as own
I don't think anyone cares about that. OpenAI ripped off of the internet and books. Deepseek distilled some of openAI and pushed the field forward
jambutters··on Vietnam scraps two-child policy as it tackles falling birthrate
I didnt even know they had this population control policy
jambutters··on Learn electricity and electronics fundamentals without taking a formal course
Is this a random quote? Or something said on the page or this thread?
jambutters··on Sleep regularity is a stronger predictor of mortality risk than sleep duration
Same, let me know if you find a solution. My brain just runs wild if I ever wake up leading me to not fall back asleep
jambutters··on Show HN: I am building an open-source Confluence and Notion alternative
Reminds me of anytype
jambutters··on Xi Jinping claimed US wants China to attack Taiwan
I'm sure some in the USA does want war so they can make a profit selling weapons. Not to mention, getting most allies to sanction Russia made people rely on the USA for oil. With Taiwan, it could be semiconductors? Even though our fabs are nowhere near, it will be the only option.
