I do this too, although only the corners. It's one of the only design failures of the MacBook.

Came here to point this out. I don't think the author understands that every single API call to Claude sends the whole context, including prompts, meaning that all this extra text in CLAUDE.md is sent over and over and over again every

I just had a Y10K problem. Customer data was using 9999-12-31 23:59:59 as a placeholder value, and our app crashed converting from the customer's timezone to UTC. I learned that Python datetime can't handle Y10K.

I bought a ThinkPad X1. Had to send it back for repairs three times in the first year, including a complete motherboard replacement, and it died again immediately after the warranty expired. Been a $2800 door stop since then. The case is fl

Thanks for that link. I now realize it's actually the Warcraft I voices I was pining for!

I love this idea, but I really wish it were Warcraft II voices.

I don't buy that anywhere near that many people read a book in 2025. People lie and say they read because they want to sound smarter and more cultured.

It's a far, far better knife edge than metal even now. It's used in some specialized scalpels. It's just fragile.

Others already clarified the confusion about your question. Just wanted to note that the HN audience is not going to hug-of-death nytimes.com.

Except kids already voluntarily gave up their own privacy to such an extent that they don't value it whatsoever. The government is lagging here. Kids will record you without consent anywhere and everywhere, post it online, live stream

I feel sorry for this guy. His Reddit inbox is probably fucked, and he's absolutely going to get doxxed and hounded by news people, and I wouldn't be surprised if even worse things happened to him. Good on him for reporting what h

I used to complain (lightheartedly) about Claude's constant "You're absolutely right!" statements, yet oddly found myself missing them when using Codex. Claude is completely over-the-top and silly, and I don't actua

You're only seeing those ads because the ad algorithm knows you. My family aren't getting Claude ads. They wouldn't know the first thing about it even if it were explained to them.

This isn't a wild theory or a novel one. It's well-established that endogenous retroviruses alter DNA and are inherited. In addition to the primary genome being modified this way, all mitochondria are symbiotic organisms inside pl

The things we called AI back then weren't AI. The things we call AI now aren't AI either. The definition remains wide.

It's unclear to me why running Docker directly in Proxmox (it's just Debian) and using it like any other Docker host is a bad idea, and why this extra layer of abstractions is preferable. Docker has security issues if you're

I can't remember. We had ferrets too, and they smelled. I don't recall the raccoon having a strong smell. Maybe they smell when they're older.

They're pretty great pets. We had one for a while when I was a kid. Its mom got run over and we nursed it and raised it for a few months. Instinctively used the same litter box as the cats. Hung out on the couch sitting on my shoulder

I don't doubt that the process is ultimately fairly easy, but it always looks easier from inside the bubble. You have to know that Cargo is part of Rust; what the best way to install it is on your system; what tooling you should use if

Such records shouldn't exist in the first place. I agree they shouldn't be exempt if they do, but let's not just accept that it's okay to have a fleet of cameras recording us 24/7 everywhere we go, managed by a priv

I would have done the same thing. I know how to build software in a dozen or more languages. I've done it manually, from scratch, in all of them. I don't know Rust. I have no immediate plan to learn Rust. I vaguely know that Cargo

In case it isn't clear from the responses, dang is the HN moderator. He regularly groups related stories and references past threads.

Yes. The term has been around for at least a few decades, but only became somewhat more widely used in the past decade. Only really known by people who spend a lot of time on the command line.

Claude doesn't do much of anything on the local machine. I run it on a Macbook Air and a piddly 2vCPU 4GB VPS. Works fine.

In my experience, neither Claude nor any other agent actually reads AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md or anything else) without being told to explicitly every session.

They've also been putting their names on their grad students' work for eternity as well. It's not like the person whose name is at the top actually writes the paper.

There's a completely irrational knee-jerk reaction to curl|sh. Do you trust the source or not? People who gripe about this will think nothing of downloading a tarball and running "make install", or downloading an executable a

The best thing about this is that now Claude and Codex have to add it.

Yeah, I saw that recently. linuxserver.io bundles a lot of apps into OCI images, and I use many of theirs because they tend to be better-designed than official ones—or at least more consistent. And while some people might be intimidated by
