l3x4ur1n··on AI-generated posters don’t have to be horrible
Thank you! These are so nice compared to the 1000 times repeated AI graphic I see everywhere.
l3x4ur1n··on GPT-6 Astra
No, no, I also remember 3.5 -> 4 and the general sentiment was that it was underwhelming. I guess we all expected absolute miracles from the models. I think our expectations sobered up a little since then.
l3x4ur1n··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
What is actually perfect, when the automated voice declares the call is being recorded, you don't have to do it again. You're legally allowed to record, because both parties were informed already and agree to it.
l3x4ur1n··on LFM2.5 2.6B model competitive with 4x larger models
I am getting to know Hermes agent and in the last couple of days I used it for searching the web for medical specialists or finding the best deal for a product online, manipulate with excel and word documents, gather data from APIs, finding stuff in my computer or keeping track of itself running in another process and keep the computer awake and when detecting the process is finished, put computer to sleep.
l3x4ur1n··on The largest available Minecraft world, totalling 15 TB
Wow, how did you do the screenshot?
l3x4ur1n··on Claude Opus 4.8
Played it to the end. Pretty neat!
l3x4ur1n··on Googlebook
I use AI to research different options when buying. Eg, I used Google Search AI Mode to search for specific t-shirts with specific attributes. And I found what I was looking for and bought it.

Thanks to AI I did not have to parse through a lot of different vendors and different webpages manually.

l3x4ur1n··on Using Claude Code: The unreasonable effectiveness of HTML
Same. When I iterate on a design for a new client, I create a simple index.html with inline CSS and when I'm satisfied with the result I take the file and insert it next to my project template files and just ask the LLM to take the design from index.html and work it in the template files.
l3x4ur1n··on A Periodic Map of Cheese
But, if the information is factual, does it matter if it is designed and coded by Claude? I was interested in information, not really the website design.
l3x4ur1n··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
Yeah protective case helps A LOT. I've broken two phones basically two weeks from buying them by dropping them on the floor before I put them in protective case. Costly mistakes, I don't do them anymore. Nowadays I buy the case together with the phone.

I don't know if it's just my luck, I never drop my phone, but when I buy new, I'm guaranteed to drop it several times a day for the first two weeks of owning it. The protective case is a phone saver

l3x4ur1n··on Music for Programming
You're my kind of person
l3x4ur1n··on Show HN: Robust LLM Extractor for Websites in TypeScript
Would this work for my use case?

I need to extract article content, determine it's sentiment towards a keyword and output a simple json with article name, url, sentiment and some text around the found keyword.

Currently I'm having problems with the json output, it's not reliable enough and produces a lot of false json.

l3x4ur1n··on So where are all the AI apps?
I agree with you. I am personally building small tools and apps to solve my own problems and I would not do that before AI - I would not know how.
l3x4ur1n··on How to Articulate Yourself Intelligently
I quit reading after he recommended carving out 1-2 hours of writing practice every day.
l3x4ur1n··on Show HN: An open-source e-book reader for conversational reading with an LLM
Nice! I was also thinking about e-reader with LLM support to discuss topics of the book I'm reading with, explain words or phrases (I'm not a native English reader) and so on. But this seems too troublesome to install and does not have a mobile app - I want to read books on the go, not really in front of my computer. Do you think it's possible to make it phone friendly and easier to install?
l3x4ur1n··on Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Happening
Brave browser. Native ad blocking. Also blocks YouTube ads. No need for any other extension.
l3x4ur1n··on Larry (cat)
Is there really such a mice problem at Downing street that people catch mice during dinner?
l3x4ur1n··on First 2D, non-silicon computer developed
Traitor
l3x4ur1n··on Maria Montessori
It's hard not to give a smartphone to a kid if you have to work or just can't spend a lot of time with the kid. Kids are demanding of time and attention. So either you have enough time or you pay someone to play with your kid or you have to endure a lot of chaos a kid without a smartphone and a lot of time without attention can do (from screaming and crying to wreaking havoc in your household). Or you give them smartphone and they keep quiet and still and you can do what you need to do.
l3x4ur1n··on WikiTok
StickTok where people show cool sticks they found in the nature!
l3x4ur1n··on The essays of Michel de Montaigne online
For a non native English speaker the "translation" is much more readable and can convey more information to me. The old text is kind of comprehensible to me, but I have to read really slow, re-read parts and think a lot to understand.
l3x4ur1n··on Malaria vaccine delivered by a mosquito bite
It seems to me the people here don't live in malaria infested countries. I think the victims would be gladly bitten by a vaccine than a deadly virus.
l3x4ur1n··on Teen mathematicians tie knots through a mind-blowing fractal
Can you explain?
l3x4ur1n··on The meme-ification of the “Demon Core”
I mean, if this should happen to me, I want to undergo euthanasia as soon as possible. If I am already dead, I don't want to unnecessarily suffer. So my question is, did he not want the euthanasia or was it not "accepted" or why he had to suffer so much?
l3x4ur1n··on The Silurian Hypothesis
Send it to space. To multiple places. Next guys should be able to find it sooner or later.

I use Brave android. No ads and I can close phone or do anything on it and the video will be playing with no problem
l3x4ur1n··on You-get: Dumb downloader that scrapes the web
I don't know why your comment is downvoted because I use this feature of Brave very often and I also exclusively watch YT in Brave mobile (no ads).
l3x4ur1n··on Japan’s Temple-Builder Kongō Gumi, Has Survived Nearly 1,500 Years
I mean, modern cloud computing centers are the new temples of current digital religion. And graphics cards are the new chalices.
l3x4ur1n··on Ask HN: Do we need to pay billions in fees to Stripe, Block, PayPal and Visa/MC?
I don't know from where you are, but in my country this is considered generally a bad or not safe idea. When you send money directly to someone, if they are fraudsters, it is very hard to get that money back. On the other hand, it's generally easier when you paid with your debit card. And even easier and safer if it was a credit card.
l3x4ur1n··on Young adulthood is no longer one of life's happiest times
I'm glad it eventually got better!
