poly2it··on AMD will bring its “Ryzen AI” processors to standard desktop PCs for first time
The Ryzen AI line is actually great if deployed to an entire org as the bottom tier, as it garuantees every device has a 50 TOPs NPU. We deploy local software at $STARTUP and this makes deployment to a Windows corp more predictable.
poly2it··on MacBook Neo
In all honesty, developers know better. I am not writing web everywhere for recreational purposes, but economical. There is not incentive to not externalise the cost.
poly2it··on “Microslop” filtered in the official Microsoft Copilot Discord server
Seriously? Does anybody know what Copilot is? I don't think I have ever seem a "Copilot user", so I don't know what it looks like. Is it the little macro key on new laptop keyboards? The chatbot you get in Bing? A technical philosophy? Or is it in essence just copilot.com, the mediocre chat interface which you used to get free GPT-4 three years ago?
poly2it··on Ask HN: What sources like HN do you consume?
Account created 16 hours ago, negative karma. Four comments fearmongering about brigading, praising Trump, Israel, right wing politics and one criticising Reddit for being leftist.

You decide how to interpret this.

poly2it··on When does MCP make sense vs CLI?
I wonder if what we'll get out of MCP tech in the end is a standardised machine readable description of CLI interfaces? Could be neat actually.
poly2it··on Block the “Upgrade to Tahoe” alerts
Thank you, HN user with 66 karma registered 14 days ago.
poly2it··on More cows, more wives
I feel a source is warranted.
poly2it··on Woxi: Wolfram Mathematica Reimplementation in Rust
Because you get changes upstreamed.
poly2it··on MCP server that reduces Claude Code context consumption by 98%
Two LLMs speaking with each other on HN? Amusing!
poly2it··on Show HN: Now I Get It – Translate scientific papers into interactive webpages
It's down and it could be interesting to iterate on.
poly2it··on We Will Be Divided
Right? These people are just following orders!
poly2it··on Move tests to closed source repo
Open source is a comittment. It is entitled of companies to grow developer user bases by promising that they will continue to provide their product to consumers and foster an open community, then pull the rug once openness no longer benefits them. The decision to go open source should less often be guided by financial reasons. It is foremost a social system of distributed labour and dependence.
poly2it··on Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War
I don't perceive those problems to be inherent to the territories or peoples of the countries. All have had potential to change and have done so extensively since the Second World War. There isn't a universal explanation or root behind the issues these countries are facing today, unless you are willing to abstract it to just "economics".
poly2it··on Mercury 2: Fast reasoning LLM powered by diffusion
What does Jimmy Chat have to do with diffusion models?
poly2it··on How far back in time can you understand English?
My slopometer tells me an LLM would not by itself write something so concise, especially beginning with "the blog ends there".
poly2it··on How far back in time can you understand English?
Probably people are confused by ligatures. Indeed it is a long S.
poly2it··on Terminals should generate the 256-color palette
Is that really optimal? It is already true in that case that your colour schemes do not work for people with opinionated colour settings. Isn't this just relying on a quirk? The point of not using truecolor is to respect the colour preferences of the user.

XKCD 1172? https://xkcd.com/1172/

poly2it··on Terminals should generate the 256-color palette
First example on the Kitty image protocol sent above looks pretty interactive:

poly2it··on Terminals should generate the 256-color palette
Why not truecolor if you want true colours?

"Simple, Transparent Pricing" => vibe coded product
poly2it··on Switzerland to vote on capping population at 10M
Do you truly believe Switzerland is at risk of an Islamic invasion? How do people on a platform such as HN fall for such obviously falsifiable statements? The initiative is obviously part of the global right-wing populist trend. Countries in the EU are dependent on immigration for maintaining their economies and public infrastructure as the population ages. I'm not Swiss, but the current government in Sweden has been going through with similar anti-criminal/anti-bad-immigrant (racist) politics and rethoric for four years now. As a result, there are now elderly care centers in parts of the country where 25% of all personnel have been expelled, children and even babies are taken back to their "home countries" without their parents and major domestic industry organisations are turning on the politicians they have fostered as the detrimental economic policies are killing low-wage industries in Sweden.
poly2it··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me – more things have happened
Should it not, though? It is ultimately a tool of its user, not an ethical guide.
poly2it··on Welcoming Discord users amidst the challenge of Age Verification
Is the implication that HN is transphobic?
poly2it··on Discord/Twitch/Snapchat age verification bypass
Are they rolling this out in stages? I haven't been asked to prove the age of my account.
poly2it··on Show HN: Ghidra MCP Server – 110 tools for AI-assisted reverse engineering
I saw this earlier, but opted for LaurieWired's MCP because it had a nice README and seemed to be the most common. How does this one compare? Are there any benchmark or functionality comparisons?

poly2it··on Show HN: Amla Sandbox – WASM bash shell sandbox for AI agents
Why not just put the agent in a VM?
poly2it··on Antirender: remove the glossy shine on architectural renderings
This drink is not a smoothie, it is a blend of fruits and berries.
poly2it··on Antirender: remove the glossy shine on architectural renderings
This filter seems to also change some architectural details and features, as well as degrade the quality of some materials in an unrealistic way.
poly2it··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Is there a comparison to the SE structure? My main issue with it personally is that it is prohibitively expensive to incorporate.
poly2it··on Instabridge has acquired Nova Launcher
No, I calculated the exchange.
