    Using AI to mass scrape the internet for family accounts of Hitler's escape, to prove he made it to Argentina. I started off very skeptical but now I think its 60-70%.

    This is good for Anduril. The future of war is cheap, massed, intelligent drones. Its strategically fortunate for us to burn through all of this expensive, obsolete crap.

    What are we even talking about here? Controlling the strait? This actually means controlling so much land around the strait that Iran can't launch missiles or drones at ships. Esse…

    I'm tickled you enjoyed it too. Thanks for the advice! Just implemented it. I'm a lot better at scraping than front-end.

    Show HN: A collection of firsthand WW2 stories passed down through families

    I scrape the internet for family stories about WW2. It's fascinating, and I curate a collection on this site. I don't make any money for it whatsoever and don't plan to, its a digi…

    I think the why has more to do with capture of our media and politicians through collusion, bribery and blackmail. Epstein, etc.

    Idk, they got all of Cursor's data, they could be finally cooking up a good coding model. They can poach or acquire talent, and they have plenty of hardware and data now.

    Fascinating. A glimpse into the mathematics of life and living tissue. A toy example like this might herald self-healing machines, in the same way that the first perceptrons herald…

    Is there a single person on this forum who thinks this is a good idea?

    As someone trying to hire juniors the danger is this: they all just depend on AI now and don't think for themselves or add anything to it. And I have to tell them, if you just pass…

    Isn't it the opposite? He gambled with other people's money and lost big. This is criminal because he won, he kept everything, if he failed, everyone else loses.

    If we had enough patience to implement one of these with pencil and paper, I don't think we would ever talk about it being conscious. Its just tempting to anthropomorphize what we …

    Have you found any cheaper models to work well with OpenCode? Like any of the Chinese models?

    His approval rating is at a historical low for any president at this point in their term, I think. People don't like ICE, pedophiles, or wars in the Middle East.

    Have you ever been to inner city America? Honestly curious. I couldn't imagine policing it without using a gun sometime.

    There are two foundational events that set this conflict in motion: 1). The violent establishment of a settler ethnostate in a Muslim region in 1947 2). The deposition of the Shah …

    This administration seems especially compromised, servile and obsequious. But you're right, both sides of the aisle have been successfully targeted for years. Both sides really don…

    Current prime minister, former and future prime minister, that's an irrelevant distinction here. Clearly the Israelis thought the Iraq war was in their interest, which is the origi…
