sam1r··on US Government releases first batch of UAP documents and videos
Anyone else immediately notice that.. this is so built with angular.
sam1r··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
That's only because SPAs routing maybe internal for that particular app. In that case, the UI/UX to end user is *only* possible and smooth when they hijack the back button as such.
sam1r··on A new spam policy for “back button hijacking”
Finally! (For this feature to be shipped).

Almost unrelated, but.. I wonder ..if there was an APM intern[1] behind this, or maybe this was this project. Because, this, would have been an excellent one!

[1] I had the fortune to be one myself in June 2012 for the Chrome Team.

sam1r··on Study investigates how mass distribution of baseball bat affects performance
Modern 2026 click bait:

1. Provide “distinct” proof 2. Title it as the antithesis

sam1r··on Science confirms torpedo bat works as well as regular bat
This is just the most oxymoronic article. It’s like it knew we would all be like… wait.
sam1r··on OpenAI says its new model GPT-2 is too dangerous to release (2019)
Absolutely agreed. I am using this term on overdrive the next 24 hours.
sam1r··on Show HN: I made an email app inspired by Arc browser
I really hope the OP reads the following comment.

And, Hey, I promise, I wouldn't willingly... go *out of my way ON A late FRIDAY EVENING (EST)* -- as I low key peruse HN on some sh* mobile browser at a dinner event --

This is really awesome. It took me a second, but then I realized I'm inline tinkering with the product.

Don't let these "pitter, patter" HN minor critiques get in the way of delivering a novel product that is currently on the top of HN.

If it auto-went to dark mode, I would've probably been even more "whoa, i get it..". I know it makes no sense, but, default to dark-mode w/ a fallback header "light" option?

Also, for someone who has dark mode configured on their most visited websites, the light is a little overwhelming. Not at your fault by any means. It's just this may be your average visiting user on your app. I could be the only one, of course.

Excited to see where this goes.

sam1r··on Show HN: Will my flight have Starlink?
Wicked, I wonder what the most juiced option would cost amongst your upgrade options.

“When in Wisconsin.”

sam1r··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
I strongly feel that each board should display pricing in two ways 1. Market price. buy now price. 2. Get it used (used market price).
sam1r··on More than 135 open hardware devices flashable with your own firmware
I wonder what (api?) creators are using to programmatically calculate this pricing.
sam1r··on Cannabinoids remove plaque-forming Alzheimer's proteins from brain cells (2016)
Yeah my defact is to run 5k at my pace (mild jog is fine), and just not use my screens + do not disturb mode, until i have a series of thoughts that invokes me to use my phone as a "lifeline" to quickly look up what I need to get to my next thought.

5km goes by fast! And orange juice tastes great after.

sam1r··on Cannabinoids remove plaque-forming Alzheimer's proteins from brain cells (2016)
Wow, Charlottes Web is such unique strain. I'm always on another planet no matter what the THC is advertised.

I feel like that strain is for EXPERTS. You can always mold it to the vibe you are aiming to reach in that present (ofc in the appropriate environments).

Do you feel like the anxiety just the cascaded result of ... "poor planning" over an extended, day-over-day staggering, sleep-deprived, period of time? I consider my self naturally the poorest of poor planners. My brain is just RAM with zero cache that i always imagine that I have. I've had weeks wiz by if I do not get on top of a fun, MJ propagandized base routine / schedule in place.

Apologies! Worse case, this could just be a swing and a miss. Empathies attempted.

sam1r··on Learning athletic humanoid tennis skills from imperfect human motion data
So this is all pretty much theoretical, but very tightly woven strictly bounded protocols to be brought to production-- perhaps an accelerated alternative to perceive a much sooner ETA of 18months...

Maybe its moreso about reaching out to the right people about this "white paper" worthy research.

AFAIK, billions of dollars are poured into tennis mechanics at the highest level.

Introduce this to the right group of people, I truly can see this funded to play Janik Sinner where he would pay as a service to play against his worst nightmare.

sam1r··on TUI Studio – visual terminal UI design tool
It won't let me reply to parent's child comment, but i wanted to say:

That is what HN is for!

sam1r··on SoundCloud Data Breach Now on HaveIBeenPwned
Shout out to lil b and those parties at Berkeley he would perform at in ‘12, ‘13.

Those were the golden sound cloud years.

sam1r··on Claude Is Down
Oh wow, I actually had no idea. It would be super nice to see all the AI API's statii on a single page.

Is that too much to ask for in 2025?

sam1r··on Open AI launches browser Vibe Check
Quite curious how the naming discussion went for the browser to be agreed to be named “vibe check”.

I feel a disconnect, it could be solely me… hence, I’m truly curious.

Chime has completely been down for almost 12 hours.

Impacting all banking series with red status error. Oddly enough, only their direct deposits are functioning without issues.

sam1r··on Class Dismissed: Profile of Joe Liemandt and Alpha School
Yeah, I almost thought I accidentally clicked to a completely different article.

A couple of whole pages scrolled later, I was like oh.. ok. This is how this connects.

Feels like a film script.

sam1r··on You did this with an AI and you do not understand what you're doing here
Wait, this isn’t over yet.
sam1r··on I regret building this $3000 Pi AI cluster
A great way to do this is… is with a brand new Aws account, which will give you 1 year free across all services with reasonable limits.
sam1r··on Why I'm all-in on Zen Browser
>>> added AI to a browser framework that isn’t a million miles away from stock Chrome.

Wow, very well put. I love how mobile browsers are not even in the conversation.
