mazinz··on Ask HN: Is it feasible to run a model on device for complete privacy?
No open source model that’s any good?
mazinz··on Ask HN: Is it feasible to run a model on device for complete privacy?
Why financially crippling? It’s free to run on device. The native Apple Intelligence works well for smaller context windows and text only.
mazinz··on The AI tool discovery problem
Yea is getting harder. I guess that’s why a lot of people here and places like product hunt, organic traffic is the only way it scales.

But also way too much AI slop out there. Can still early users in person.

mazinz··on Show HN: Interpreto – Live Translation for Travel
Very cool! Interaction model was clear. Have this problem google translate is slow for back and forth. I’m in Thailand would love to try it out in Thai.
mazinz··on Show HN: Zaxy v1.0
Really like the idea just can’t think of why one would need it vs the typical orchestrator + sub agent structure. Let each agent decide which tools to use and th orchestrator call multiple sub agents in parallel if needed.
mazinz··on Nearly one-third of automotive loan terms are longer than six years
That’s crazy, so chance the loan could outlive the car! Refinancing now that rates go down makes sense I guess but is just crazy to me that people take such long term loans for a depreciating asset.
mazinz··on Shift from a Leader-Follower to a Leader-Leader Approach
Makes sense, think we will see companies stay smaller for longer, where everyone knows everyone. Is clearly superior for motivation / ownership
mazinz··on Shift from a leader-follower to a leader-leader approach
Is an interesting idea but don’t think it scales. Once a company gets beyond like 100 people you need some structure and past 1000 is chaos is everyone is a leader.
mazinz··on Recruiters, How do you vet resume in 2026?
Look at what people have built not the tools they list out. How mattter even less now in 2026
mazinz··on Ask HN: What Is the State of App Development in 2026?
I have been happy with Dart/Flutter + Cursor + Dart MCP. Feels much more context aware than what I've experienced in other stacks and working with native features was far less painful than I expected. Still need to decide what to build, which is just as hard as it was before, but it's just faster to iterate.
