water-drummer··on Mistral Large 4
Is there a reason to believe why they wouldn't distill locally running open weights Chinese models?
water-drummer··on Micron CEO Says Memory Supply Will Be Much Tighter in 2027 and 2028 Than in 2026
[flagged]
water-drummer··on GLM-5.3 and the spread of advanced cyber capabilities
Never thought Anthropic would do better marketing for open-models than their developers themselves.
water-drummer··on Sonnet 5.5
They did mention in the Opus 5.5 announcement blogpost that Sonnet and Haiku 5.5 will follow soon.
water-drummer··on Obscura: VPN that can't log your activity
Privacy without anonymity is just privacy with a backdoor waiting to be unlocked.
water-drummer··on I built non-autoregressive decision models with RL a year ago
No, OP thinks they independently discovered Jev's architecture a year ago and published a paper. I am not an expert but I don't think Typesafe has published Jev's architecture so OP's claims cannot be taken at face value.
water-drummer··on Claude Code now reads AGENTS.md if there is no Claude.md
Vendor locks over md file names is crazy
water-drummer··on Gemini 3.8 Live and 3.8 Live Extended Thinking
The real question should be when will it be available on Vertex and not be full of bugs?
water-drummer··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
Reminds me of Arthur's jounal
water-drummer··on Show HN: Pelican-bicycle alternatives
Ok the Grok ones are cute
water-drummer··on Pion, an agent designed to run any company autonomously
It's honestly surprising that this thing is the top post on HN right now. People love building these things cause it's their greatest fantasy (not having to pay real wages to real people) but they don't work cause LLMs aren't AGI
water-drummer··on Google no longer provides direct URLs in search results
Gemini does something similar
water-drummer··on The Last 24 Hours Are the Opening Scene in a Horror Movie
Truly one of the IPOs of all time.
water-drummer··on The Deathray: A simple way for an untrusted site to freeze a Mac
On Graphene OS, it froze Brave, but Vanadium was able to deal with it swiftly. Not sure if that has anything to do with JavaScript JIT.

Or not secure your data like a total idiot while leaving the keys on the porch
water-drummer··on GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
Yeah, I know you guys are using LLMs responsibly. I just found those anti-LLM crusaders funny they way they were calling it an unethical and fascist technology.

As long as the code is being held to the same standards (which have been very high), it's only going to help the developers.

Btw, please save yourself some energy and mental peace by ignoring these people who haven't written a single line of serious code and are only there for bandwagoning and pushing their political agendas. Love the work that you guys do that's why I'd love for you guys to be able to focus on the mission and not get distracted by them. Thanks for all the hard work!

water-drummer··on GrapheneOS Overhauled Default Apps and Secure Clipboard
Funny reading those anti-LLM comments, lol
water-drummer··on Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index v4.2
But the end user doesn't care about flops for closed models. All they care about is how much it ends up costing them.
water-drummer··on Corporate America is getting hooked on open-source AI
Opus 5 feels like a regression compared to 4.8
water-drummer··on Muse Spark 1.3
Still waiting on them to release weights for Muse Spark 1.2, like they promised to. Wonder if they plan on doing the same for 1.3 which would be crazy
water-drummer··on Tailcat – Like netcat, but over Tailscale’s data plane
Woah this is cool!

I've been making a mesh vpn like radmin vpn or hamachi that does not need a central authority server and most importantly, can run on all major OS thanks to wireguard-go.

water-drummer··on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
GLM-5.3-Flash which is larger and better, costs less than this
water-drummer··on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
Doing this on a 1-bit quant is unfair
water-drummer··on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
Path finding is a very closed and well defined problem.
water-drummer··on Show HN: GlassBox – what the browser reveals, and how identifiable you are
Lying AI slop. Says I am unique among 7.2B devices and shows me a different fingerprint every time.

Idk how this vibe coded slopware made it to the front page of HN

water-drummer··on Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
Wonder how you're gonna deflect it this time: https://archivegenocide.com

How else are they gonna track you? Think of the big tech
water-drummer··on RISC-V: They Should Have Known Better
