zhainya··on Finally, A True Blue Rose Exists
Research provided by Project Blue Book.
zhainya··on No Man's Sky Cosmos
This perfectly describes how this game makes me feel.
zhainya··on Why Everybody Hates Palantir
Why do these archive links never work for me?
zhainya··on My Friend Aaron
Really great read! Thank you!
zhainya··on AI by Hand
I'm not sure what this is. Click past the subscribe page to get a bunch of links to descriptions of articles I could read if I was a subscriber?
zhainya··on People who grew up with high economic connectedness earn more
Up next, water is wet...
zhainya··on The great wealth transfer reality check
So, the rich will keep getting richer? Is that about right?
zhainya··on Accidental Anonymity
Every one of these articles seems more pretentious than the last.
zhainya··on TinyWind: A pixel pirate sailing game with real wind physics (380k+ kms sailed)
This is great!
zhainya··on Ferrari Luce
This is heartbreaking. Just awful.
zhainya··on What did you love about VB6?
Getting paid to write code in it.
zhainya··on Cursor Camp
This probably would have been fun if it worked.
zhainya··on The Classic American Diner
only 65 :)
zhainya··on I dug into the Postgres sources to write my own WAL receiver
Wouldn't the long-term cost be the reliance on "something else" that did the actual work?
zhainya··on Show HN: I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work
I don't really understand the point of this project or how it demystifies anything. Click the browser demo and I get a generic AI chat screen. Is the readme the part that "demystifies" something? I feel like I am living in a bizarro world. Is this all AI? Are all the comments here from bots?
zhainya··on I wanted to build vertical SaaS for pest control, so I took a technician job
You took a job as a tech in order to learn about pest control business so you could build a SaaS platform? Do I understand that correctly? In the end you decided not to build a SaaS and started your own pest control company?
zhainya··on A History of My Homelab
Great article. Really well written.
zhainya··on Project ideas to appreciate the art of programming
Is this what the kids call "astroturfing"?
zhainya··on IRonCub: A Humanoid Robot Designed to Fly Like Iron Man
Everything about this design feels wrong. Like they went out of their way to make it unappealing.
zhainya··on The Fisherman and His Wife (1857)
Was there supposed to be a connection to AI?
zhainya··on Mathematics Discovering Its Consciousness: Lasso Estimator as Cosmic Backdoor
Articles like this make me feel bad. Many articles on HN do this to me, but ones like this in particular. I can sense the author's excitement, and everything sounds so profound, yet I have no clue what any of it actually means. The worst part is, even if it was ELI5, I'm fairly sure I'd still be lost. I guess I'll just go eat more Pop Tarts.
zhainya··on SkiftOS: A hobby OS built from scratch using C/C++ for ARM, x86, and RISC-V
Video demo would be amazing.
zhainya··on Purposeful animations
No, you're not.
zhainya··on I'm absolutely right
This is perfect!
zhainya··on Show HN: I built a toy TPU that can do inference and training on the XOR problem
I feel like I missed a whole section somewhere. "Built a toy TPU". What does that mean? I have no idea what was actually "built" here.
zhainya··on Catalog of Novel Operating Systems
TempleOS?
