nharada··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
Yeah still on 3.6 here too, this is like the 4th or 5th model Google has announced since they last gave me access to the latest. And I pay for pro too!
nharada··on iPhone Duo
you can connect those things though right? or you want a mouse and keyboard attached by default like a tiny laptop?
nharada··on iPhone Duo
do you not consider your phone a "useful computer"?
nharada··on Gemini 3.8 Flash and 3.8 Flash Cyber
Meanwhile I pay for Pro and still don't have access to 3.7?
nharada··on Dyson CameraJet electric toothbrush
my dentist wants me coming quarterly
nharada··on Turbovec – Google's TurboQuant for vector search in Rust
It would be nice to have the README be a little more human written for a project where you actually want people to adopt it
nharada··on Gemini 3.7 Flash
I assume so when they release Flash 3.8 or 4.0 or whatever they can claim it's not a price increase?
nharada··on Prevent cognitive debt by manually retyping LLM-generated code
Agreed I want an IDE but only architecture. I suspect it’ll get superseded though eventually too.
nharada··on Oil companies report sky-high profits thanks to wartime crude prices
Is your point that such historical prices only occur when the shit is hitting the fan? Because the first time oil ever went above $100 was at the start of the 2008 financial crisis...

nharada··on Run Kimi K3 using 29 GB of RAM at 0.50 tok/s
It's too bad Optane PMem is dead
nharada··on Half-Life 2 running natively on HaikuOS
I love it, this is OG hacker news
nharada··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
Is there something specifically with Kimi that's better here? As far as I know Kimi pricing is about the same as Sonnet 5 -- what happens if you use that model and Fable instead? Or Grok 4.5 which is even cheaper?
nharada··on Australian energy retailers must offer three hours of free daytime electricity
A 24 kWh cap per day seems very reasonable. Drawing 8 kW is quite a lot.
nharada··on Nintendo has raised its employees base salary by 10%
why?
nharada··on Previewing GPT‑5.6 Sol: a next-generation model
Is that the correct comparison? Fable is twice the price
nharada··on GTA 6 will cost $80
Yeah if it has the amount of content people are expecting I'd say it'll be well worth 80 bucks
nharada··on If Claude Fable stops helping you, you'll never know
Imagine if Github said "if we detect you're building a competitor to Github, we will silently degrade the results of your CI actions so that tests sometimes randomly fail"
nharada··on Why TUIs are back
VB6 was the peak of desktop GUI app development change my mind
nharada··on Alphabet Announces First Quarter 2026 Results
I've been wondering when we'll see it unambiguously showing up in there. I suspect this time next year it'll be visible for sure, maybe Q4 of this year?
nharada··on Kyoto cherry blossoms now bloom earlier than at any point in 1,200 years
Is the "etc" here "because of human greenhouse emissions, the earth is rapidly warming"?
nharada··on Waymo says expecting driverless taxis to stay out of bike lanes is unrealistic
At least here in SF the ideal thing would be that any vehicle dropping off in the bike lane gets fined or ticketed. This includes Waymo, Uber, cabs, personal cars, whatever. In practice it's very rare to get a ticket for this, which is why customers expect it from both Waymo and Uber.
nharada··on Microsoft Offers Buyouts to 7% of Workforce
In an era of 20% layoffs and entire orgs getting culled, this seems very reasonable
nharada··on Instant 1.0, a backend for AI-coded apps
This is super cool and exactly what I've been looking for for personal projects I think. I wanna try it out, but the "agent" part could be more seamless. How does my coding agent know how to work this thing?

I'd suggest including a skill for this, or if there's already one linking to it on the blog!

nharada··on Muse Spark: Scaling Towards Personal Superintelligence
Saying nothing about the actual performance of this model, it does strike me how .... minimal(?) this announcement is. Their safety section is like 2 paragraphs about bioweapons. Go look at the reports for OpenAI and Anthropic's model releases. It's like 50+ pages of tests, examples, reports, and benchmarks across a bunch of safety and wellfare metrics.

If Meta wants to be seen as a cutting edge massive lab they need to come across as one instead of looking like a school project version of a frontier model.

nharada··on A Claude Code skill that makes Claude talk like a caveman, cutting token use
I wonder if this will actually be why the models move to "neuralese" or whatever non-language latent representation people work out. Interpretability disappears but efficiency potentially goes way up. Even without a performance increase that would be pretty huge.
nharada··on Why are we still using Markdown?
I just can't find myself summoning the energy to be mad about markdown. It's good enough for like 99% of the things I use it for. Sometimes I get annoyed at specific extension support or whatever when I realize I shouldn't be using markdown for that task.
nharada··on ICAO issued new power bank restriction on flight
> The devices are either dangerous, or they're not

That's not actually how it works though, it's all a risk and percentages. Nobody says "driving is either safe or it's not" or "delivering a baby is either safe or it's not"

nharada··on ICAO issued new power bank restriction on flight
Was expecting to be annoyed but this seems reasonable. You can have 2 power banks and can't charge them during flight
nharada··on Overcoming the friendship recession
I’m curious if you think viewpoints have also gotten more extreme in this period. It feels like the gap in political ideologies has widened a lot since I was younger.
nharada··on GPT‑5.4 Mini and Nano
Surely this task must now be in the training data
