marand23··on The cost of lies: A Mineserver story
This is LLM generated, right? Why would you do that? Sorry if not
marand23··on Can gzip be a language model?
I thought it was interesting.
marand23··on Feature Request: Support AGENTS.md
Did nullbio say something like that? There are a lot of people on hn, and they have a lot of differing opinions.
marand23··on Discovery Loop
I would take stagnation if I didn't have to die on a fucking schedule like now.
marand23··on Escape IntelliJ: Scala and Kotlin LSPs on Emacs Eglot
They closed all their russian office locations at the start of the Ukraine war afaik so I wouldn't call it russian any more.
marand23··on SpaceX wants to launch 100k more Starlink satellites for 100x the bandwidth
Because LEO is a degrading orbits, meaning that the satelites fall out of orbit after a few years on their own.
marand23··on Punk, or why I don't stream anymore
You got me curious now, in what ways do you think you are racist? Racists usually don't think they are racists, I would think, but maybe I'm wrong
marand23··on Interview with Mitchell Hashimoto about Ghostty and Zig
It's just standard nerd drama. Nothing good comes of it but it doesn't matter at all either. Just shake your head and move on with your life.
marand23··on Ask HN: Is the web for machines (/llm.txt) the one we wished we had as humans?
I never thought about it before now but the llm era could be a form of renaissance for blind people on the Internet. An alternative web where functionality of every page is described in short but detailed text instead of extremely verbose and non-linear html tree structure.
marand23··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
I mean, i can assure you that I am not a bot either, but wouldn't a bot say that? :p

But yeah, quite a coincidence that we both chose 50 years :)

marand23··on An OpenAI model has disproved a central conjecture in discrete geometry
A few years ago i had laser eye surgery and now i can see well. Something that was not possible 50 years ago. Claiming that EVERY new technology comes at the expense of normal people is an absurd statement.
marand23··on Anna's Archive loses $322M Spotify piracy case without a fight
Slightly OT: How is it possible that the operators are unidentified? Surely someone must own the domain and pay upkeep for that? Wouldn't that expose at least one of them?
marand23··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
I think he used it as a counter-example where it made sense to him to be early. But you don't always have to be early, is his point, I think.
marand23··on Tinnitus Is Connected to Sleep
Thanks for supporting tinitus research. It gives me some hope that there will be a treatment someday.
