kingkawn··on Data does not speak to you
They are there awaiting you to act
kingkawn··on Show HN: Poppy – A simple app to stay intentional with relationships
AI writing = nobody will read it. The lure of easy perfection is death to meaningful interaction.
kingkawn··on Iran War Cost Tracker
Yes but right now it’s doing this war. It can’t be anywhere else, so the costs are for this deployment specifically.
kingkawn··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
What about machines slaughtering the population without pause?
kingkawn··on Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras
Is it not literally true that he is calling for action from the populace without doing it? You all can only lift a finger to downvote a literal call to action lmao
kingkawn··on Americans are destroying Flock surveillance cameras
Get out there and be the change you want to see, king
kingkawn··on South Korean ex president Yoon Suk Yeol jailed for life for leading insurrection
Sentence not long enough
kingkawn··on 99% of adults over 40 have shoulder "abnormalities" on an MRI, study finds
Not if they are all different and produce negative effects
kingkawn··on Is Show HN dead? No, but it's drowning
People have been saying this since I joined
kingkawn··on Ask HN: Why is my Claude experience so bad? What am I doing wrong?
I’ve found a problem with LLMs in general is that it is trying to mirror the user. If the user is a world class software dev you will get some good stuff out of it. If the user is not experienced at programming you will get something that resembles that out of it.
kingkawn··on Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care
Ironic that he is a cardiovascular surgeon offering his opinion on what is a sufficient assessment for OB/GYN care
kingkawn··on Dr. Oz pushes AI avatars as a fix for rural health care
I do not trust Oz et al to make this anything but an unethical grift. But Ironically we already have a lack of continuity of care, providers who are so overburdened that they cannot give any human nuance, and a complete lack of coordination across visits or diagnoses. So, America has done what it usually does; create a problem and then offer to sell the subpar solution. also, the healthcare industry has used impoverished urban areas as guinea pigs for training programs and hypothesis testing for many generations, why not the same benefit/detriment for rural America?
kingkawn··on Anthropic raises $30B in Series G funding at $380B post-money valuation
This was the same argument made for Google Wave and Google+ and both completely tanked
kingkawn··on Claude Code is being dumbed down?
And not just by the day! The weekly limits are the biggest mistake imaginable for maintaining user engagement on a project.
kingkawn··on U.S. had almost no job growth in 2025
If all of 2025 was overestimated, possibly for political purposes, then why believe that the 2026 numbers are accurate?
kingkawn··on The US is flirting with its first-ever population decline
Mass human behavior in regards to fertility, climate destruction, and social decay is much more sensical if you frame it as species-wide suicidality.
kingkawn··on Omega-3 is inversely related to risk of early-onset dementia
“Still probably” is classic statistical science
kingkawn··on Omega-3 is inversely related to risk of early-onset dementia
Or overestimate?
kingkawn··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
So the actual data is irrelevant because you can dream up of minor hypothesis?
kingkawn··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
Yet it tracks for decades with successive D/R presidents, suggesting that this 4 year excuse is not enough to dismiss the correlation
kingkawn··on U.S. jobs disappear at fastest January pace since great recession
If that were true then why would there be such a glaringly clear example that presidential party influences economic performance?
kingkawn··on Mobile carriers can get your GPS location
State actors are inherently only subject to their own oversight
kingkawn··on San Francisco Graffiti
English does, and definitely invented it before the rest of the world caught on to this culture. Try watching “Wild Style” from 1983, documenting some of the earliest beefs between the types of graffiti artists. Portuguese speakers did not invent this distinction.

Throw ups are the quick ones and Pieces are the long ones.

kingkawn··on How to Leave Germany
So you don’t live in Germany. Explains why “How to leave Germany” is not relevant

Also hilarious You telling anyone else not to interact with a post if it doesn’t relate to them.

kingkawn··on Auto-compact not triggering on Claude.ai despite being marked as fixed
I’ve also been encountering this behavior, coupled with rapidly declining length of use for a pro account now below an hour, and weekly limits getting hit by Wednesday despite achieving very little other than fixing its own mistakes after compressions.
kingkawn··on Show HN: isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC
Dope
kingkawn··on How to Leave Germany
Do you currently live in Germany?
kingkawn··on I was banned from Claude for scaffolding a Claude.md file?
Claude is going wild lately. It told me I had used up 75% of my weekly limit. Ohhhk. I sent one more short query, and boom blocked til til Monday because i used up 25% in that one go (on thursday). How is that possible? Its falling off fast right now.
kingkawn··on The percentage of Show HN posts is increasing, but their scores are decreasing
Maybe the ideas…aren’t good?
kingkawn··on De-dollarization: Is the US dollar losing its dominance? (2025)
what unsupported gut-feeling conclusion would you prefer they reach for you?
