Marketing!
mring33621··on Researchers Drove a Chinese EV into an Underground Mine. It Kept Calling China
I have a lot of negative feelings toward modern Software Defined Vehicles. Unwanted surveillance is one of them.
mring33621··on Micron CEO Says Memory Supply Will Be Much Tighter in 2027 and 2028 Than in 2026
per yahoo finance:

MICRON INSIDER TRANSACTIONS (LAST 6 MOS)

Purchases 887

Sales 337,619

Seems like the Execs aren't seeing this as a good thing for their company

mring33621··on Ask HN: Do You Use Siri?
Yes. To snooze my alarm, when it's across the room. She fails maybe 20% of the time, in that the audible portion of the alarm may not return after the snooze period.
mring33621··on NASA’s Mars Sample Return mission is dead
My bet is that the new Trump-flavored NASA still wants to do this, but without the Europeans.

Goddamn kiwi ads wasting my time in the time-wasting app!
mring33621··on Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax
We need to figure this out. These people don't have "income", but do somehow have plenty of money to spend. So we should use their sources of spending money as a proxy for income, for taxation purposes.

Can we:

- create a progressive tax on dividends and capital gains, based on total wealth?

- create a tax on asset backed loans?

This is one of the most interesting comments on here.

Hints at unauthorized, illegal mass surveillance riding on top of authorized (but also possibly illegal) mass surveillance

mring33621··on A20 Pro shatters Geekbench 7 single-core record – beats desktop i9 and Ryzen 9
I guarantee that Apple Computer + Apple Semi, as 2 different public companies, would have a larger combined market cap than Apple does now.

Mgmt is failing shareholders by not considering this seriously.

I wish Apple would become a CPU/GPU vendor.

I would love to see what amazing things that non-Apple people could build with Apple silicon.

Happy Hax user here! Thanks again, Oleksandr!
mring33621··on Claude, change the "Add to Cart" button to blue
Just understand that every requested change results in a game of whack-a-mole.

I like the model.

Hold on -- mine's blue... will it still work?

mring33621··on How much of HN is AI?
A thrumming hiss

Bites your expanding pants

While raging toward eclipse

mring33621··on How much of HN is AI?
This is a new question that is well worth sitting with!

The shape of the current Hacker News experience certainly implies an abundance of AI generated content.

A quiet approach to testing this insight is to ask the HN community itself, then assess the resulting replies for the load-bearing surface features.

But at the end of the day, aren't we all waiting to unpack our throughlines?

mring33621··on Where did all the public bathrooms go?
"Closed due to COVID-19"
mring33621··on Xiaomi: New CPU matches Apple cores single threaded, much faster multithreaded
Yeah, I don't want China as an adversary. It appears to me that it is a country full of fun, smart and interesting people. And their manufacturing prowess is incredible.

I'm into funny electric vehicles and China makes some beauties!

This one pulled a .38 on me!
mring33621··on And then the men with guns tell you to do it anyway
You say that now because you don't believe it's possible for someone to capture a large enough quantity of oxygen to impact you.

If that were to change, which it may, you would feel differently.

mring33621··on Google has acquired the data of failed US airline Spirit
You are ignoring the value of previous experience:

Please replace 'Google' with 'Profit-driven legal entity in the USA' and reread your argument.

The parent is making an assumption, based on past experience, but is also Most Likely correct.

9B Qwen models are good and fast for local python coding tasks.
mring33621··on DeepSeek Harness developer preview
Sadly, it doesn't ship with support for "dsh --profile acp"
mring33621··on DeepSeek Harness developer preview
I just installed DeepSeek Harness with the latest Bun version and am using it with a local 9B, speculative decoding Qwen 3.x variant, running in llama.cpp and it works GREAT for small python projects, so far.

It was very easy to connect the harness to the local model and it seems to run quite fast, compared to other harnesses that I have tried.

mring33621··on License plate reader searches should require a warrant
"someone broke into my house at exactly [time]. Can you track their license plate and track them down"

Sounds reasonable, but most police departments will not do this, even if the data is available to them and running the query is easy.

They will tell you to file a report, preferably online, which will then be incorporated in local stats, and may also be useful in your interactions with your insurance company.

But they will not do anything to help your specific case.
