romperstomper··on Dostoyevsky isn't difficult
This is just the past and the modern propaganda nothing more.
romperstomper··on Google changes its search box
According to Wikipedia "As of April 2024, Kagi listed that its sources for search results were derived from Google, Brave Search, Mojeek and Yandex" so I suppose Google won't be available there as a source anymore? And perhaps all others in the future if they choose the same path.
romperstomper··on I’ve banned query strings
I noticed that ChatGPT started to add the utm_source parameters for all links it recommends. For example, for GitHub links. Not sure if this critical or not but it could affect users for sure if URLs with any query parameters are blocked.
romperstomper··on Removable batteries in smartphones will be mandatory in the EU starting in 2027
And make all these batteries compatible among all smartphone brands
romperstomper··on Britannica11.org – a structured edition of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica
Something is wrong with images here https://britannica11.org/article/22-0043-s2/polymethylenes
romperstomper··on Britannica11.org – a structured edition of the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica
Sometimes cross-references don't have links, is this expected? For example, here https://britannica11.org/article/26-0828-theosophy/theosophy there is no links for BOEHME and SWEDENBORG but all other references have the links.

Great project, thanks! Is there a chance to add a "random article" feature similar to which Wikipedia has? :)
romperstomper··on NASA Shuts Off Instrument on Voyager 1 to Keep Spacecraft Operating
I've read that there were very rare conditions to launch Voyagers which gave them tremendous advantage with gravitational maneuvers. It happens very rarely, I don't remember the exact periods but maybe it happens once per hundreds of years.
romperstomper··on US fired 1k JASSM cruise missiles in 37 days. Lockheed makes 396 per year
I guess they got rid of bunch of rockets with near expiration date
romperstomper··on Ask HN: How is AI-assisted coding going for you professionally?
And then you use AI to summarize those 50 pages :)
romperstomper··on Don't post generated/AI-edited comments. HN is for conversation between humans
Could it be also a toggle to skip/not show any AI-generated content? And all child branches?
romperstomper··on Oil prices surge 20% on supply fears
When I opened the link the title was adjusted and showed 25%..

romperstomper··on Show HN: I open-sourced my Steam game, 100% written in Lua, engine is also open
I was thinking the "MESSAGE IN A BOTTLE.txt" is rather special than a proper README :)
romperstomper··on Show HN: I open-sourced my Steam game, 100% written in Lua, engine is also open
Thanks for sharing! Good old README.md in the repo would not hurt :)
romperstomper··on Building a new Flash
Long live the new Flash! :)
romperstomper··on LT6502: A 6502-based homebrew laptop
> One thing I do know for sure. LLMs would have been impossible.

Maybe they could, as ASICs in some laboratories :)

romperstomper··on Show HN: Off Grid – Run AI text, image gen, vision offline on your phone
Are there any nice TTS models? It could be handy to have them as well.
romperstomper··on Babylon 5 is now free to watch on YouTube
I wish they published it in a more organized manner.. At the moment all published episodes are mixed with other content of their channel.
romperstomper··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
The cyberpunk we deserved :)
romperstomper··on Resurrecting Crimsonland – Decompiling and preserving a cult 2003 classic game
Oh, I was very wrong, my apologies!

I was sure this one was for Python from 3.7 up to 3.10. But it is still here.. But as for 2026 it will not stay forever as it was supposed to - there are 2 PEPs which are suppose to fix it in Python 3.14 - https://peps.python.org/pep-0649/ and https://peps.python.org/pep-0749/

romperstomper··on Resurrecting Crimsonland – Decompiling and preserving a cult 2003 classic game
All modern AI tools tend to put `from __future__ import annotations` line into Python code which isn't required by recent Python versions.

I guess this is because they all are trained on an intermediate code bases when this was required some times (even at that time the real usage was quite rare).

And now this line is parroting everywhere like a junk DNA :)

romperstomper··on The Discombobulator
Any ideas what can this "discombobulator" be??
romperstomper··on The mushroom making people hallucinate tiny humans

LLMs initial purpose is translation from one language to another, nothing surprising they are good in that.

romperstomper··on The Zen of Reticulum
A nice citation in MIRROR.md - असतो मा सद्गमय तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय मृत्योर्मा अमृतं गमय
romperstomper··on Disaster planning for regular folks (2015)
I'd add some reasonable water supplies, at least bottled, and some pills to disinfect water from rivers, springs etc could be handy as well.
romperstomper··on Show HN: ChunkHound, a local-first tool for understanding large codebases
I don't understand how/why all of this is local-first if all these providers are supported and used - could you elaborate what is sent to them?
