msuniverse2026··on Can AI design circuit boards yet?
Lets say I do vibetronics - Who can I then send the schematics to, to have troubleshooting completed? Is there a service that is like "okay we'll take your high voltage nightmare and double check that it won't make magic smoke"?
msuniverse2026··on Melatonin impairs morning cognition in healthy young adults (2023)
I've noticed if I use the f.lux feature for just 15 minutes I begin to get tired at night. Blue light is a hell of a drug.
msuniverse2026··on British Steel taken into public ownership to protect 'vital' UK supply
Interesting how they haven't repeated in this article earlier claims that the Chinese purchase of the steelworks was a strategic move to slowly destroy the blast furnaces by letting them cool under pretext of low demand.
msuniverse2026··on An entire Herculaneum scroll has been read for the first time
How many more scrolls exist?
msuniverse2026··on Vacuum-Form Signage
No, I really did get the age verification prompt
msuniverse2026··on Anthropic requires 30 day data retention for Fable and Mythos
I just gave it the prompt 'make a GUI for fluidx3d' and it did it in one shot without any oversight. It is incredible.
msuniverse2026··on Vacuum-Form Signage
Oh wow, just got my first age-verification redirect because I'm Australian and the 'online safety act' is kicking in. Welp.
msuniverse2026··on Mozilla to UK regulators: VPNs are essential privacy and security tools
UK regulators are just hearing another excuse for a loicense.
msuniverse2026··on Starship V3
The data centres are for the secret radar constellation masquerading as an ISP company that is Starlink

You are watching the slave grid being erected over your head

msuniverse2026··on Unitree GD01: China's $537k rideable transformer robot is now in production
Neat, I wonder just how far these things can be scaled.
msuniverse2026··on EVE Online studio CCP Games turns independent and rebrands as Fenris Creations
Why might deepmind want to be involved in EvE? I don't think I'd like the people who made alphaGo to make something that could play EvE in any sort of capacity.
msuniverse2026··on Would HN Accept PRs?

msuniverse2026··on U.S. Mint Buys Drug Cartel Gold and Sells It as 'American'
Wish I understood what was going on with the gold price. Shit goes gangbusters when nothing is happening, and when straits are closed and countries invaded it goes down.
msuniverse2026··on Century-bandwidth antenna reinvented,patented after 18 yrs with decade bandwidth

msuniverse2026··on Explosions as one of Australia's two oil refineries erupts in flames
Oh, article title on the homepage of ABC is different to the one inside the article. Actual title "Out-of-control fire rages at one of Australia's two oil refineries in Geelong"
msuniverse2026··on A soft robot has no problem moving with no motor and no gears
Why do these kept getting made? I feel like I see some new soft robot every few months or so. Are they used to infiltrate past grates in a sewer security system and slide under lasers or something what is up with these???
msuniverse2026··on Combining spicy foods with mint boosts anti-inflammatory effects 100x or more
and yet it moves :^)
msuniverse2026··on Combining spicy foods with mint boosts anti-inflammatory effects 100x or more
Pretty interesting. In homeopathy mint is considered one of the most potent antidoting substances which is something that neutralises or cancels the action of another homeopathic remedy. Maybe a comment like this activates chimp brain downvote circuits in HNers but a lot of medicines start from these folk traditions and then make their way into regular medicine.
msuniverse2026··on The Image Boards of Hayao Miyazaki
He used to make a lot of short illustrated stories too. My favourite is 'Imouto He' because I love the plane concept - there is really nothing like it and I wonder if an aerospace engineer could look at it and spot any reasons it couldn't exist.

msuniverse2026··on SpaceX files to go public
>Think on a longer time scale.

On a longer timescale would it only be spaceX on Mars?

msuniverse2026··on LoGeR – 3D reconstruction from extremely long videos (DeepMind, UC Berkeley)
Truly don't understand what is happening in the heads of these researchers. Can't they see how the main use of this is going to be mass surveillance?
msuniverse2026··on Training students to prove they're not robots is pushing them to use more AI
>too much hedging and over-specifying to try to head off shitposting by bad or bad-faith readers.

yeah but if the OP doesn't do that and you confront their argument they can retreat into definitions and ambiguity without addressing your rebuttal. i think its good manners to be hyper-specific particularly on HN where there tend to be a lot of martian brained people who need it to engage with you. the fuzziness just won't do.

msuniverse2026··on HN is drowning in AI comments
I feel like to notice something is botslop you have to look at every comment with suspicion first. I don't think I can notice if something was written by an LLM off the bat unless I'm actively looking very hard at it.
msuniverse2026··on Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is killed in Israeli strike, ending 36-year rule
In my opinion the real problem for Iran lies in the north, on the border with Azerbaijan.

The Israeli-supplied Azeri military has already demonstrated its effectiveness when it curb stomped the unprepared and internally betrayed Armenian military and militias. Baku will eventually decide to intervene in the northern territories. If I had to guess, a "special military operation" into northern Iran is the most likely follow-up scenario goaded into and supplied of course by Israel/US. The goal will be to foment a civil war and begin the dismemberment process of Iran.

A little personal conspiracy theory I have is that after the last Israel/US intervention (when they mysteriously liquidated the only high-ranking and influential internal opposition of the Khamenei clan left) is that some sort of deal was worked out behind the scenes with the clan to get rid of the wizard-in-chief kinda like how Maduro was sold out. It is much easier to go to war with a country when it responds with only symbolic attacks and secretly promises to fight with one hand behind its back - provided cash and security flows for those at the top of course.

msuniverse2026··on Qwen3.5 122B and 35B models offer Sonnet 4.5 performance on local computers
I've had an AMD card for the last 5 years, so I kinda just tuned out of local LLM releases because AMD seemed to abandon rocm for my card (6900xt) - Is AMD capable of anything these days?
msuniverse2026··on We Will Not Be Divided
I'd prefer something akin to the Biological Weapons Treaty which prohibits development, production and transfer. If you think it isn't possible you have to tell me why the bioweapons convention was successful and why it wouldn't be in the case of AI.
msuniverse2026··on Jeffery Epstein met with m00t in 2011
Pretty interesting if you know the 'secret history' of places like /b/ being taken over by feds in 2007.
msuniverse2026··on U.S. Senate bill exempts isolated power loads from FERC, DOE regulation
Whats to stop housing developments from isolating their power loads and ripping off consumers?
