This has me feeling nostalgic for Hypercard. Nice work!
mrhottakes··on Internal Combustion Engine
Excellent animations.

The Belgian police are the ones following American orders.
mrhottakes··on The US ambassador had Belgian police stop our reporting
"You can't criticize lobbying unless you can name all the more active lobbyists" is a very strange concept. Have you thought this one all the way through?
mrhottakes··on Rare tick-borne virus turns deadly fast as US cases reach record high
Not to worry, the federal government is working diligently to make the US healthy, again.
mrhottakes··on Someone made the Steam Controller automatically charge itself
What does this mean? The video on Elon's site is broken.
mrhottakes··on If You Didn't Vote Then Shut Your Mouth – Don't Advertise That You're an Idiot
Not voting is a perfectly valid choice. Some people do it because they're dumb or checked out, and some people do it because it's the most rational choice that fits their beliefs. You're naive if you can't process this fact.
mrhottakes··on You're Weirder Than You Think
Love it. Weird is good!
mrhottakes··on Put Transit Staff in Charge of Their Own Projects
This is well reasoned, but it runs into the same issue driving many problems in the US: keeping local governments small and understaffed has incredibly strong bipartisan support.
mrhottakes··on Open Source Low Tech
Excellent work. People here forget that "low tech" can be much more difficult than "high tech".
mrhottakes··on Cursor now has a mobile app for guiding your coding agent on the go
I love guiding my coding agents on the go, can't wait to guide my agents on the go with this app.
mrhottakes··on Have You Restarted Your Computer This Week?
Yes, a few times. Thank you for asking, I hope you restart your computer some as well. :)
mrhottakes··on The next big breakthrough will be AIs learning on the job
Who is "we" and what do you mean by "know"? Your statement doesn't match the experience of the industry.
mrhottakes··on HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88
Sounds like you're pretty bad at hiring pipelines.
mrhottakes··on HackerRank open sourced its ATS. My resume scored 90/100. Oh wait 74. No – 88
Yep, any day now AI is going to be so good we'll never need to think again. What's that, it's just a really expensive random number generator?
mrhottakes··on The Laziest Generation
The sarcastic section fooled me because it sounds exactly like so many internet blowhards.
mrhottakes··on The Return of Aspect Oriented Programming
A few weeks ago we were calling this "vibe coding"; I guess someone is trying out some new terminology.
mrhottakes··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
Politics is how a society organizes itself. That seems relevant to a message board that discusses society and technology.
mrhottakes··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
A lot of people in Sweden have strong opinions about American politics.
mrhottakes··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
Yes, I check whether my local bakery is run by people with hateful politics.
mrhottakes··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
So you're a political company, but you don't want people to examine the politics of the people running the company? That seems naive.
mrhottakes··on NixOS 26.05
It is not common at all
mrhottakes··on EU: We register if you are critical about us, and shot you out
Seems like it's just about which social media influencers they choose.
mrhottakes··on Anthropic has hired an economist with interesting views on human survival
Western economists are essentially clergy for the religion of capitalism. They're all like Wimp Lo, they were all trained wrong, as a joke.

Any analysis that starts with assuming a perfectly spherical, frictionless, rational consumer is fundamentally unserious.

mrhottakes··on 45°C cooling design cuts data center water use to near zero
So start building. Too lazy?
mrhottakes··on Federal agents track down woman, demand she remove Instagram post about ICE
The facts in your link contradict your post
mrhottakes··on Show HN: Secs-man, a secrets manager you can (not) rely on
The name is great, we should bring whimsy back to software
mrhottakes··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
Yep. All studies like this are just measuring "how much does the model agree with my preconceived notions?"
mrhottakes··on Political bias in AI: Where the AI models stand
My multimeter doesn't need me to tell it how much a volt is or feed it subjective measurements of what resistance means
mrhottakes··on 45°C cooling design cuts data center water use to near zero
> AI and datacenters are here to stay, you can’t fight them,

Maybe you can't (or don't want to), but people can absolutely fight data center construction. Your lack of imagination doesn't bind others.
