Why are there an increasing number of outright unhinged high karma users on HN?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48485429I’ve been noticing this disturbing trend for quite a while. By high karma I mean well over 1000 karma.And some of these leave comments so bizarre, that I can’t find any charitable explanation.Other than perhaps they may be skipping reading every other word or something… and then respond to an imaginary version of the parent.Uncharitably, they could be semi-random keyboard bashing, deranged bashing, emotional tantrums, and so on. Or LLM written… except the style doesnt match.Of course this has always been somewhat prevalent for low karma users, but it’s now creeping up higher and higher.For example, I had a recent bizarre encounter.I had double checked the first 10 pages of google results, in regards to a claim that I implied prior in the comment chain, mentioning that it seemed supportive of the claim.Maybe the novelty of someone doing that, and not just randomly opining, triggered something.Realistically, it didn’t take more than 5 minutes of effort, but still… it would have been 1 to

Ask HN: Are we going to see a portable S3 Tables alternative outside AWS?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48475779AWS announced S3 Tables earlier this year, and the integration with Iceberg is clearly the direction for AI/analytics data stacks. But the native S3 Tables implementation is locked inside AWS.For those of us running self-hosted or multi-cloud, what are the current options?Using regular S3 + separate catalog (Hive/Glue/Polaris) – metadata overhead and extra opsApache Ozone / Ceph + Iceberg – seems heavy for smaller teamsSomething else I'm missing?I've seen rumors about open-source projects adding native Iceberg table support directly in the storage layer (basically S3 Tables but portable). Would that actually help? What's the #1 pain point you'd want solved?Curious to hear from people who tried to run Iceberg workloads outside AWS.

Show HN: Welter's game, a little Nim-like combinatorial gamehttps://welter.fuglede.dkHi HN! Here's a little game I (and my buddy Claude, cf. the obvious CSS gradient tell) set up to explain to my kids some of things we were working on at work.So in the game you're taking turns moving coins down a line until no moves are possible. If you've taken a course on combinatorial game theory, you'll have come across the game of nim and you can think of this one as a variant of nim where there can only be a single coin in every square. The theory of how to play it isn't quite as well-established as for nim though; play with enough coins and I certainly find it quite tricky to mentally reason about whether a position is good or not.One fun fact about Welter's game is that its winning positions form the codewords of a particular error-correcting code called the constant weight binary lexicode (Conway and Sloane, 1986). What that means is that being good at the game is the same as being good at decoding messages in that code. Probably more fun to just play the game though.

Show HN: Startup sci-fi novel that took me 5 years to writehttps://www.blockchainednovel.com/It started after reading Stephen King's "On Writing" where he likened the art of writing as the unearthing of an archeological site after you stumbled upon a unique bone of a story. His advice was to choose a domain you are deeply intimate with. For me, I've been a struggling startup founder for 15 years—enough material to inspire a novel.A 1,000-word writing exercise turned into a complete 125k-word manuscript over the course of a year.In year 1, I learned the sheer joy of unencumbered creative flow and authentic expression. A similar flow I used to get from coding (and more recently vibe coding). What made it effortless was a mindset that I was writing for the sake of it, not with the intention of publishing.After a year of keeping it close to my chest, I decided to show it to a few close friends. They liked some of it, destroyed some of it. Some ultimately encouraged me to publish it.In year 2, I learned about the chasm between writing for myself and writing for an audience. Nerdy s
