Oh wow, not so long ago the sentiment was exactly opposite. Python community was struggling with tools and everyone wished to have `gofmt` for Python. Granted, this is a linter, not a formatter, but my larger point is I am glad that Python

100% agree, I am upgrading my projects now. And yet, I have mixed feelings about this. I like to think that when I (was) writing code myself, I applied a great deal of intuition to decide when to skip or ignore some rule. On the hand, I als

Did I miss something? Aren't public key are supposed to be public? To be clear, that's an honest question, not sarcasm of anything. I only assume I don't know about some corner case with SSH or something? Because we have thos

I am pretty sure SpaceX already booked "Skynet" for the name of their next Grok model. It is fitting on so many levels.

Professional techie and amateur bowler here. I am bowling on old-ish lanes, and the stats we have beyond the score is... well, ball speed only and it barely works on half of the lanes only. I doubt that our alley would ever agree to install

I think it does. It sounds generally human to me. And I am not an American FWIW.

That's a trick question. Should we include the tokens consumed by the organizers' AI to validate the submissions? AI-generated comments in the discussion thread?

I fear another related possibility. With *so* much money on the table, if this new industry shrinks or collapses, it is hard to believe that it will collapse same way dot-com did, and instead investors will seek to protect their capital who

You could say it works perfectly well, it is identifying indeed. Of Claude and of people who use Claude's raw output instead of expressing themselves.

> 67 themes Hm. Most users usually need 0 or 1 of those at a time. Makes me question other choices in there.

Preach. I would love to see all email like this. I learnt this in my very first work place and will never get the trend of starting every email with "I hope you are doing well". I live and work in France, and oh boy... It's j

Ask HN: Is it just me or does Claude / Sonnet 5 sound condescending recently?

It is fun to imagine paleontologists, some millions of years from now, whatever species they will be themselves, finding a fossil of this cockroach and trying to explain it. One thing are humans having hip joint implants, but "why on E

There is one side effect of running your LLM locally: you stop thinking about the token budget. I often run `/goal` with no limits, or script an endless loop in bash to run opencode, etc. Sometimes I just brute force the task by throwi

With respect... I am surprised such a low-quality analysis is published on stanford.edu . What is compared here? What is the purpose of this? What are the conclusions of the analysis? Heck, where is the analysis? By what logic are the price

IronRDP web client apparently uses Beer CSS. I go agree, though, it is a questionable choice for a showcase.

That's such a pity. Building a simple AM radio receiver was a simplest and coolest electronics project to do with kids. You need two transistors, a ferrite coil and a small set of simpler elements. And it is so simple you can actually

It does sound awesome and breathtaking, my feelings exactly when reading the paper. On "Do we have imagination" - I think you are being to hard too on humankind. The answer for me is "yes, certainly", because that&#x27

Good fun! At first I was scared of having to answer 100 questions, but when the words got more sophisticated it turned to be more engaging. Also, the result is good for self-esteem! :) Many thanks to the author! I wonder if the test is cal

Sometimes when I am too tired, I lean back in my chair and click through Hacker News or something similar. I use Vimium in my browser and HN is great to navigate with it, but that's the not the point - the whole point is I don't

Oh boy, I hope they didn't miss the opportunity here: this set must be missing the last pieces, complementary kits should be issued in the coming decades.

Oh. What does it do? Do you have a link? I am very curious about it.

Reminds me of this study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2510.04950 . It demonstrates that being "rude" or "very rude" increases the accuracy of the results. A dubious but very fun read. The prompts in Table
